Zechariah 14:4
King James Version
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.
When will JESUS return?
How shall He return?
What happens when He does?
Scripture tells us what we need to know.
Like, when JESUS will come back:
Matthew 24:36
King James Version
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels of heaven,
but my Father only.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-4
King James Version
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren,
ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord so cometh
as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety;
then sudden destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child;
and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness,
that that day should overtake you as a thief.
We know that JESUS was taken up to heaven this way:
Mark 16:19
King James Version
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them,
he was received up into heaven,
and sat on the right hand of God.
We also know JESUS will return this way:
Acts 1:11
King James Version
11 Which also said,
Ye men of Galilee,
why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
this same Jesus,
which is taken up from you into heaven,
shall so come in like manner
as ye have seen him go into heaven.
And when the LORD returns, expect this:
Zechariah 14:1
King James Version
14 Behold,
the day of the Lord cometh,
nd thy spoil shall be divided
in the midst of thee.
Zechariah 14:2
King James Version
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.
Zechariah 14:3

and fight against those nations,
as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zechariah 14:4

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.
Zechariah 14:5
King James Version
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,
Zechariah 14:6-7
King James Version
6 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

not day, nor night:
but it shall come to pass,
that at evening time it shall be light.
Zechariah 14:8

and from the tower of Hananeel
unto the king's winepresses.

and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
Zechariah 14:13

on the hand of his neighbour,
and his hand shall rise up
against the hand of his neighbour.

and come not, that have no rain;
there shall be the plague,

and the punishment of all nations that come not up
to keep the feast of tabernacles.

upon the bells of the horses,
Holiness Unto The Lord;

shall be like the bowls before the altar.

shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts:
and all they that sacrifice
shall come and take of them,
and seethe therein:
and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite*
in the house of the Lord of hosts.
