Zechariah 14:4 (ESV Strong's)
On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward.
Truth: Christ will return one day to reign supreme.
Perhaps the greatest hope for believers is the greatest ignored truth by the non-believing world. It is the great Christian hope that Christ will return to the earth to establish His ultimate reign over men, spiritual powers and Satan, himself. The non-believer chooses to either ignore this truth or ridicule it, or both. It is so motivating for the believer to remember that Christ will return one day to establish His kingdom. This is the purpose of God and the reason for Christ's death, burial and resurrection. He defeated death, by death, and now reigns spiritually. The above verse states that He will also reign on this physical earth. That is a truth that frightens the spiritual world but is largely ignored by the physical world. Today's kings and monarchs and government officials rule as though they and their cohorts will be in charge forever. Yet, the truth for all believers is that God will reign supreme ... both in heaven and on earth. That is motivational for our lives as we realize God has won the war and conquer all foes. He simply is waiting for those who don't believe to come to that truth before He returns to establish His reign.
