ZECH. 14 HOW JESUS WILL RETURN

MOUNT OF OLIVES



Another possibility is to rejoice with those who rejoice that the end is near. Despite all the predictions that have so far fallen short of the mark, many people insist that Jesus will return at any moment. The pre- and post-millennialists are all but selling tickets for an Apocalyptic Super Bowl. Hal Lindsey in The Late Great Planet Earth even calls in data from an oil company to support the return of Jesus:
Jesus’ feet will first touch the earth where they left the earth, on the Mount of Olives. The mountain will split in two with a great earthquake the instant Jesus’ foot touches it. The giant crevice which results will run east and west through the center of the mountain. It will go east to the north tip of the Dead Sea and west to the Mediterranean Sea (Zech. 14).
It was reported to me that an oil company doing seismic studies of this area in quest of oil discovered a gigantic fault running east and west precisely through the center, of the Mount of Olives. The fault is so severe that it could split at any time. It is awaiting the foot [p. 163].
