Zechariah 14
King James Version (KJV)
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.
There is alot of information going on in these four verses. What I would like to focus on are "the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city (Mount Zion)" and more significanctly that Christ (the LORD) is going to fight (on The Day of the LORD) to protect these inhabitants. of Mount. In other words, we see
1. a pocket of "believers" physically alive at
2. Mount Zion in Jerusalem
3. With Christ on "the Day of the LORD."
The only other place in the Bible where you see:
1. a pocket of "believers" physically alive at
2. Mount Zion in Jerusalem
3. With Christ on "the Day of the LORD" is
Revelation 14
King James Version (KJV)
14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
IMO, these "the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city" and the group known as the 144,000 are one in the same.
