Christ's Return Is Imminent--Know This

 Zachariah 14:3 describes the imminent return of Christ. The prophet begins describing the fall of the Gentile nations who have come to make war against the remnant of God's people, the Jews. A small group of Jews have been saved from destruction during the Tribulation Period. They have been protected from war, famine, pestilence and sicknesses. The Novae of the sun hasn't touched these Jews because the protection from God to bring a small group of His people to salvation has arrived.

Hosea 5:15

 In this verse, God, through the prophet Hosea, gives us a clear picture of the salvation of the Jews who are left. Hosea tells you as he speaks for Jesus, "I will go away and return to My place until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; in their affliction they will earnestly seek Me."

Finally, the small group of Jews who are backed up against a mountain where there is no escape, acknowledge that their only means of salvation comes from the Lord. As did their forefathers who were led to the promised land by God's glory, the small group of Jews have been brought through an impossible period of time without any way of escape. They have been miraculously saved from destruction by an unseen hand. It takes a huge army of men coming against them before they realize that they are without help except in the Name of the Lord.

When they confess their total dependency on Christ, He appears as described in Zachariah 14 to save them. The mountain splits, they escape through the valley created by the division of the mountain. Then Christ comes and fights for them. You know this event as the Battle of Armageddon. It's actually a campaign that begin in Bozrah and ends at Megiddo. Paul tells us in 2 Thessalonians that Christ wins with the "Brightness of his coming and the sword of his mouth."

The Millennial Reign of Christ.

When this battle is over, Jesus will reign supreme for 1000 years. He will be the God of the newly saved believer Jews and those to come to him during this time. Even Egypt and Ethiopia will come to him for salvation.

As the battle ends, the new Temple comes down from Heaven according to Ezekiel. The Temple will sit on either side of the split in the mountain that allowed the remnant to escape. From under the throne, a river of living water will flow east to the Jordan and west to the Mediterranean Sea. The Jordan empties into the Dead Sea, which will come alive with induction of the living water. Fishermen will cast their nets from Engedi to Eneglaim, (Ezekiel 47:3-10).
