He will come again to the Mount of Olives with these saints
- 9 And when he had spoken these things,
- while they beheld, he was taken up;
- and a cloud received him out of their sight.
- 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up,
- behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
- 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.
- 12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet,
- which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
- 1 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.
- 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, and all the saints with thee.
