Also notice that do not stay “in the clouds”, but we stay “with the Lord”.
And WHERE is the LORD going ?
” 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. “
>>A hearty AMEN from me! Jesus was standing on the mount of Olives with the disciples when he was taken to heaven, “a cloud receiving him out of their sight.” Acts 1:9-12 goes on to say: “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.”
His feet will return to the place he left. He left from the mount of Olives, he will return to the mount of olives (the passage from Zech. 14 you quoted).
When he left the mount of Olives, it was in one movement from earth to heaven, when he returns it will be in one movement - from heaven to earth, per Zech. 14 to the mount of Olives from whence he left.
When he left, it was in the clouds of heaven (Acts 1:9), when he returns it will be in the clouds of heaven, Dan. 7:13, Matt. 24:29-31, 1 Thess. 4:17, Rev. 1:7.
His one-event parousia will be in a post-tribulational setting (the setting in Zech. 14 is post-tribulational).
I have pointed out repeatedly on this thread that it does not take two separate events, Acts 1:9-12 with Zech. 14:1-5 agrees, it has it being done in one event.
