'Taint in my Bible.Zechariah 14:4 plainly says, “And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east.” The chapter describes nations attacking Jerusalem, the mountain splitting in two, and a valley forming. Where does Scripture say any of this represents the church or some spiritual experience?
Acts 1:11-12 makes it even clearer. Jesus ascended from the Mount of Olives, and the angels declared that “this same Jesus” would return in like manner. That means Jesus Himself, not the church taking His place.
And concerning Israel, Paul asked, “Hath God cast away his people? God forbid” (Romans 11:1). God's promises have not been canceled, but neither does that mean every action of the modern Israeli government is righteous or that anyone can be saved apart from Christ.
My question is simple. Where does Scripture authorize us to turn Christ's feet into the church or the Mount of Olives into something other than the mountain God specifically named?
We should be interpreting Scripture by Scripture, not replacing its plain meaning with ideas the text never teaches.
I have pointed it out several times in different places that Israel was attacked and is being attacked by these people, all of this will end, I fear, in the next election cycle. I see the World being turned over to a reprobate mind and expect combat on American soil, soon. We are lovers of evil and these Muslims and other Marxists worry this battle-field veteran.Genesis 12:3 "I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
NKJV
There is only ONE Jerusalem that Christians should be seeking.....the HEAVENLY JERUSALEM. Jesus Christ will reign in the new heaven and earth. Not the Jerusalem of judaism. That's what you've been indoctrinated into believing, I'm afraid. You see, They were the first to believe in and earthly millennial Kingdom of their messiah. They just happened to do a very good job of bringing you along for the ride. They do need your support. Israel will be nothing without the Zionist Christian."And His feet will stand on the Mt of Olives". That ain't the heavenly Jerusalem!
You have it totally backwards! You still don't know where Jesus will return? Hint: it ain't the "HEAVENLY JERUSALEM".There is only ONE Jerusalem that Christians should be seeking.....the HEAVENLY JERUSALEM. Jesus Christ will reign in the new heaven and earth. Not the Jerusalem of judaism. That's what you've been indoctrinated into believing, I'm afraid. You see, They were the first to believe in and earthly millennial Kingdom of their messiah.

Just one more person who wants to feel they are better than others using loaded language to make others look bad.Who said anyone worships Israel?
Context . . .1 Peter 2:9 KJV
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Won't you be surprised! I hope that you don't end up cursing them!But the nation of Israel is no longer in the picture. And they weren't a great nation at all.
What??? Why are they in the news nearly every day?But the nation of Israel is no longer in the picture.
Tbh even President Trump supports no longer funding Israel....so will and/or should most Republicans back this too?
It was my understanding that Netanyahu said Israel didn't need the USA's help any longer.
“The issue of the American aid worries me greatly, and it also fell on me like a bolt from the blue. We have an (memorandum of understanding) with the US that is supposed to last until 2028 and this is one of the major goals, and therefore a government must be formed and not go to repeated elections,” he [Isaac Herzog] said.
