*A
Heavy Weight Upon the Nations
Zechariah 12:1-3
“The burden of the
Word-of-Yehovah [Jesus is the Word]
concerning Israel. Thus declares Yehovah [Jesus
is Yehovah] who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the
earth, and forms the spirit of man within him, Behold, I am going to make
Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the
siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. And it will come
about in that day that I will make Jerusalem
a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be
severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.” (John 1:1➔ Rev 19:13)
Zecheriah 14:2-4 "For I will
gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city
will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished, and half
of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off
from the city. Then Yehovah will go forth and fight against those
nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. And in that day His
feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of
Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its
middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the
mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the
south."
Acts 1:9-11
"And after he had said these things, He was lifted up while they
were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And as
they were gazing intently into the sky while He was departing,
behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them; and they also
said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This
Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just
the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." Then they
returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near
Jerusalem, a a Sabbath day’s journey away."
