Zecharya (Zechariah) 14

1 Behold, the day of the LORD is coming,
And your spoil will be divided in your midst.
2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then the LORD will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.
4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,
From east to west,
Makinga very large valley;
Half of the mountain shall move toward the north
And half of it toward the south.

So, this is obviously speaking about God Almighty, HaShem, Adonai, Yehovah, Yahweh whatever you want to call Him YHVH YHWH..

But all of the "Yahweh" Verses seem to be applied to Jesus, Yeshua in the New Testament. Which begs the question whose feet is going to be on Mt. Olives ? The reason why I ask this is because...

Acts 1
9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,
11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey.

So Jesus ascended into Heaven from mount of Olives and the angels said that Jesus would COME in the same manner as He WENT(On the mount of Olives.)
, so the question is very simple..

Is the "YAHWEH" verse in Zec. 14 applied to Jesus ?

If not the question is, whose feet is going to be standing on the mount of Olives?

Making Jesus the another Person who is Yahweh. (who is echad via sh'ma.)

Or there will be two comings one of the Father one of the Son. (doubt it, just throwing out the options though)

Dear Definition_ Christ,


I think it is only The CHRIST who will return as the Word says...................Remember what HE said to the disciples, before HIS death, buriel and ressurrrection...............


How long have I been with you.....................and you still don't know ME..............I tell you the Truth, he who has seen ME has seen The FATHER..


So if the FATHER is in The SON and the SON is in The FATHER, then they are one and the same......................


I had wrestled with this concept of FATHER, SON , AND HOLY SPIRIT for many, many years....................So finally one day, I just did as the Word instructs us to do .......................I came to HIM as a child.............innocent, with a genuine question about all of this, and this is what the LORD explained to me..............

This whole TRI-UNE GOD issue is not as complicated as My people have made it.............(With a lot of help from the enemy) It's a FUNCTIONAL AUTHORITY issue..................I said "What does that mean .............and HE said, "It's kind of like a man,

Consider this.......A man is someones son, and yet he is also a father maybe as well, so in a sense this man has 3 FUNCTIONS OF AUTHORITY..........

1. He is a son to his father............

2. He is his own person............

3. He is a father to his children...................ALL 3 OF THESE ARE DIFFERENT, BUT HE IS STILL THE SAME PERSON...............

I don't know if that will help you but it helped me tremendously...................

BLESSINGS ARE YOUR IN HIM.........................And I love your avatar..............good one Coach.....

I think it's talking about Jesus coming back, since I believe Jesus is God. Is that what you were asking?

Yes, well I was starting to understand a lot of the text in the old testament speaking about God would be directly applied to Jesus in the new testament. I agree Jesus is God - however I don't know if I can distinguish when the old testament is not speaking about Jesus, and when it's speaking about the Father.
It's been interesting to study and I think this would be a good proof text to show Jesus is God, however there are hundreds of other verses that could affirm Jesus is God, I think it's good to share in case we run into people such as Mormons, JW's, Muslims - whoever it may be that denies the deity of Jesus.

Showing them that Jesus is God throughout the whole bible, and not some created being. Exegesis is always the foundation for our theology. Not the other way around or reading our theology into the text prior to not getting out theology from out of the text.

I agree with your stance. Y'hovah is a name that can be applied to each mamber of the Trinity.
