3.3 --- The final attack of the nations against
Jerusalem.
The final attack of
the nations against Jerusalem will culminate with the final victory of God against
the enemies of his people. Because of its importance, I repeat here what it
says in Zechariah 14: 1-4, about this great battle: “The day when the Lord will sit in judgment is near. Then Jerusalem
will be looted, and the loot will be divided up before your eyes. The Lord will
bring all the nations together to make war on Jerusalem. The city will be
taken, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half of the people will go into
exile, but the rest of them will not be taken away from the city. Then the Lord
will go out and fight against those nations, as he has fought in times
past. At that time he will stand on the Mount of Olives, to the east of
Jerusalem. Then the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west by a
large valley. Half of the mountain will move northward and half of it
southward”.
Mount of Olives.
…There are many more places in the bible which
refer to this final moment. The texts here referred to are clear and do not
require more explanation.
