I said the context must include Micah 4 which flows into the next chapter where it briefly mentions his birth and mission.
Even AI has more discernment than you:

Micah 4 provides a message of future hope, promising the restoration of Zion (Jerusalem) as the center of worldwide worship, peace, and divine justice under the Messiah's reign. Contrasting with previous prophecies of doom, it envisions nations flocking to God's mountain to learn His ways, resulting in disarmament ("swords into plowshares") and security.

Key Themes and Interpretations of Micah 4:

  • Future Exaltation of Zion (vv. 1-2): The Lord's temple will be established as the highest mountain, representing the ultimate triumph of God's kingdom over worldly powers.
  • Universal Peace and Justice (vv. 3-5): The Messiah will rule, causing nations to stop training for war and live in peace, sitting under their own vine and fig tree, which symbolizes prosperity and security.
  • The Remnant and Restoration (vv. 6-8): God promises to gather the "lame" and afflicted remnant of Israel, transforming them into a strong nation, with Jerusalem regaining its former dominion.
  • Deliverance from Babylon (vv. 9-10): While predicting the exile to Babylon, the prophecy promises that the Lord will rescue His people from there.
  • Victory Over Enemies (vv. 11-13): Zion is encouraged to "thresh" (overcome) the nations gathered against her, consecrating their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.

Key Takeaways:
  • Messianic Age: Many commentators see this chapter as a direct prophecy of the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ, when perfect peace and justice will prevail on earth.
  • Present Application: While fully realized in the future, believers are encouraged to walk in the name of the Lord today, experiencing the peace of His kingdom
As I have implied, I see no false picture of Christ returning and then landing on earth, to sit in a rebuilt Jewish temple on earth "made by hands". NOooooo..., absolutely not!
You all have misunderstood Zechariah 14 entirely!

The powerful one word in KJV 2 Thes. 1:7-10 is the word "WHEN" spoken two times, thus revealing that Jesus' Glorious return will be a simultaneous event of salvation for all his born again saints and the destruction of all the unsaved. All taking place in one literal 24 hour Day. Luke 17:28-30.

Learn about the story of Lot and how Abraham was a witness to the burning of Sodom and Gamorah in the morning of Lot's arrival in Zoar.
Hmmm...when did Lot finally leave Sodom?
How many hours had passed for him to reach Zoar? (see Abraham's witness vs. 27-28). Gen. 19:15-28.

Edit: In my post #19, I trust that you understand what Jesus meant by those who are of "the synagogue of satan". It's those who are Zionists of Israel, and have infiltrated Christ's church, corrupting many with the false doctrine that you espouse.

The Bible says His feet will touch the ground and the Mt. Of Olives will divide. It says He will sit on the throne of David physically and rule - it's prophetic, it Covenant theology as well. Christians worldwide from all nations will annually travel to Jerusalem to visit and worship our King. Do you need the scriptures ... I'm sure you've read them?

I agree with His Coming and our Rapture, but that will happen at the last trumpet (#7); which means the Bowls of Wrath are then released consuming more time then 24 hours.

So because you think we are wrong, Satan has us, led us astray? Think what you want. Maybe try reading Romans 11. God is not dine with the Jews/ Israel yet.

In Zech. 14, The day of the Lord is described.
1. Spoils are divided - therefore not destroyed. Which brings to mind Jesus words: the meek shall inherit the earth.
2. God gathers nations against Jerusalem.
3. The city is taken.
4. "The remnant of the people shall not be cut off".
5. The Lord fights against those nations. His feet stand on the Mount of Olives! The mountain splits.
6. Probably nuclear war (vs. 12)
7. Light will be diminished in those days.
8. Living water will flow out of Jerusalem (after they experiencing waters of death, poisoned during the GT). Waters turn to blood, 1/3 of the fish died. So now life comes back.

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 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. Zech.” 14:2-4

Earburner: "It is very apparent to me that John the Baptist, is the witness to who Jesus IS, and Jesus is the witness to who God the Father IS. Thus fulfilling Zech. 4:11-14. Then said he, these are the two anointed ones, that shall stand by the Lord of the whole earth."

I don't deny that both John the Baptist and Jesus are witnesses for the Kingdom of God, but limiting the two witnesses only to them fails to explain them as "two olive trees, and two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth" ???

Revelation 11:3-4 (KJV) And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

Unfortunately, I perceive that you hold to a religious understanding, that has been promoted by church-ianity.
Please remember, the joint ministry of John the Baptist and Jesus were the only ones ever physically born with the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit (anointed from within). Prior to them, no one else was.

This doesn't explain how John the Baptist and Jesus are two olive trees and two candlesticks???

Zechariah Chapter 14 Is The "Eternal Kingdom" Don't Be Deceived

Zechariah 14:1-12 below shows the Lords return to earth in fire in final judgement.

(Verse 1) shows "The Day Of The Lord" also seen in 2 Peter 3:10-13 "Fire Judgement" below

(Verse 2) Shows that all nations are gathered for the final battle of armageddon.

(Verses 3-5) shows the Lords return, and his eternal feet touch down on the earthly Mt, of Olives, and in the "Twinkling Of An Eye" 1 Cor 15:52 takes place, in the catching up, resurrection, final judgement by fire, and the New Heavens, Earth, and Jerusalem being revealed for eternity, judgement complete, eternity begins.

(Verses 6-7) Eternal light seen, in the eternal kingdom, Rev 22:1-5

(Verse 8) The river of life is seen, Rev 22:1-5

(Verse 10) The New creation is being revealed, the plain is lifted up.

(Verse 12) "The Day Of The Lord" showing the "Last Day" judgement by the Lords fire, as men are consumed as they stand on their feet, 2 Peter 3:10-13

2 Peter 3:10KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Revelation 22:1KJV
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

"The Eternal Kingdom"!

Zechariah 14:1-12KJV
14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 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.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 but it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the Lordshall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

It says He will sit on the throne of David physically and rule
Your claim is "False"

Jesus Christ Warned His Followers, Concerning Him Being On This Earth In A Millennium (Beware)!​


Many claim Jesus will literally return and rule "On This Earth" In A Millennium, this being false in deception

Jesus warned his followers against this teaching, Jesus wont be found anywhere upon this earth as many claim

The Antichrist will be in Jerusalem, claiming to be Messiah Returned, "Beware"!

"Believe It Not" "Go Not Forth"

Matthew 24:23-27KJV
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Revelation 13:13-14KJV
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

Revelation 19:20KJV
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Zechariah 14:1-12 below shows the Lords return to earth in fire in final judgement.
Judgement yes, for those on earth during and at the end of the Great Tribulation soon coming; but not His final Great White Throne Judgment. The Day if the Lord lasts 1000 years ... as scripture implies a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like a day to the Lord. So as there are two resurrection, sonshall there be two judgments, one before the Millennial Kingdom and one after.
Verses 3-5) shows the Lords return, and his eternal feet touch down on the earthly Mt, of Olives, and in the "Twinkling Of An Eye" 1 Cor 15:52 takes place, in the catching up, resurrection ...
.
Good up till the resurrection, which is the 1st resurrection. The rest of the paragraph is separated by 1000 years.

2 Peter 3:10 describes God's final GWT judgment, where Hades (and everyone in it), Death, 1st Earth and 1st heavens are destroyed in a fervent heat. THEN the EW Jerusalem (a new heavenly earth) will replace it.

False. You have the two witnesses as being two renegade vigilantes who defy Christ's command that He gave His followers to love our enemies and you have them killing their enemies instead. You are utterly failing to take other scripture into account when interpreting the passage about the two witnesses and are causing contradictions in scripture as a result.

You disregard the very scripture before your eyes, "God's" in control of the plagues seen below that will torment the unsaved wicked world in judgement

Revelation 16:1-11KJV
1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

As for Jesus feet touching the Mount of Olives that is after the millenium.
1 Thess 4:17"then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord." We shall meet the Lord in the air--how can we do that if He is on the ground?

He descended from Heaven, was seen in the clouds, trumpet sounded, we were changed THEN He stood on the Mt of Olives as the GT continued. Of course there are many views.

You are trying to relate two unrelated passages. Where does this passage indicate that God is using the two witnesses to bring about these plagues? Nowhere. Instead, it shows Him using His angels to do so. Again, you have Jesus telling two of His followers to go and kill people despite the fact that He tells His followers to love our enemies. You are not honest enough to deal with this contradiction.

The Angel's are in the unseen spiritual world, the (Two Witnesses) will be in this physical earthly realm where the plagues will take place

The (Two Witnesses) will have power to smite the earth with "All Plagues" as often as they will, the unsaved wicked will be "Tormented"

The plagues brought by the (Two Witnesses) will torment the unsaved wicked world, read it again and again before your eyes

Revelation 16:4-6KJV
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Revelation 11:6-10KJV
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

You never address my arguments. That other passages refers to angels carrying out the plagues by God's command, not the two witnesses, and you won't even address that. I can only assume it's because you're afraid to do so. If you take all of that in Revelation 11 literally then you have two individuals completely ignoring Jesus's command to love our enemies and they kill their enemies instead. You are obviously not honest enough to address this contradiction because you just believe what you want to believe whether it makes any sense or not. You are like Premils in that you try to interpret the most highly symbolic book in the entire Bible as literally as you possibly can.

5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Revelation 11:6-10KJV
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

If you take all of that in Revelation 11 literally then you have two individuals completely ignoring Jesus's command to love our enemies and they kill their enemies instead.
Revelation Chapter 11 covers 1260 literal days of God's judgement on this earth, it will be the warm up act for the grand finale seen in the Lord's second coming (The End)

Your living in a fairy tale, trying desperately to disregard God's words of truth, by distracting from God's judgement with a passage of "Love Your Enemy" absolutely "Laughable"!

The (Two Witnesses) will be literal prophets returned, they will bring literal plagues upon this literal world representing God that "Torment" the literal unsaved wicked world, a literal duplication of Moses/Aaron against Pharaoh of Egypt

(Love Your Enemy)

2 Thessalonians 1:7-8KJV
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

The Angel's are in the unseen spiritual world, the (Two Witnesses) will be in this physical earthly realm where the plagues will take place

The (Two Witnesses) will have power to smite the earth with "All Plagues" as often as they will, the unsaved wicked will be "Tormented"

The plagues brought by the (Two Witnesses) will torment the unsaved wicked world, read it again and again before your eyes

Where does the Revelation 16 passage say anything about the two witnesses? Nowhere, of course. It talks about an angel bringing the plagues, not the two witnesses. But, details like that obviously mean nothing to you because you insist on just believing whatever you want to believe whether it's taught in scripture or not. And you insist on having the two witnesses kill their enemies rather than love them as Jesus commands His followers to do. Taking all of that literally results in utter nonsense and contradictions, but you are too blinded by your hyper-literalism to see that.

You consider Christ's command to love our enemies to be laughable. How foolish.

The (Two Witnesses) will be literal prophets returned, they will bring literal plagues upon this literal world representing God that "Torment" the literal unsaved wicked world, a literal duplication of Moses/Aaron against Pharaoh of Egypt

We are to love our enemies, not take vengeance on them. Vengeance is the Lord's, not ours. You continue to contradict scripture with your nonsense. You are completely missing the symbolism in Revelation 11 because you have foolishly decided to try to interpret the most highly symbolic book in the Bible as literally as you possibly can. A mistake that Premils make often, but Amils are normally much more discerning than you are when it comes to differentiating between literal and symbolic text.
