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.

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
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.

"And His feet will stand on the Mt of Olives". That 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. 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.

You have it totally backwards! You still don't know where Jesus will return? Hint: it ain't the "HEAVENLY JERUSALEM".

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:
Context . . .

Exodus 19:5-6 (KJV)
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

Remember to whom God was speaking.

God has used Trump to BLESS Israel!

Maybe that's over. Maybe not! God doesn't need Trump to bless Israel! Anyway God is going to keep blessing Israel! Nobody can stop Jesus, the God of Israel!

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.

It was my understanding that Netanyahu said Israel didn't need the USA's help any longer.

But some high-ranking Israeli leaders were shocked by this too. Their President Isaac Herzog said he did not expect it at all.

“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.
