What Old Testament prophecy about the Second Coming places the Lord's feet on the Mount of Olives?
Zechariah chapter 14 is the Old Testament prophecy that places the Lord's feet on the Mount of Olives at the Second Coming. It declares that His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east.
Les explains that Zechariah chapter 14 gives the language of the Second Coming. This differs from the Church's hope, because Paul says we meet the Lord in the air. The Old Testament prophecy says, "and His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east." So for the Church He only comes to the air, but at the Second Coming He comes to the Mount of Olives.
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
