Act 1:11 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.
Jesus was standing on the Mount of Olives in a fleshy body, and will return in like manner in a glorified body and stand on the Mount of Olives.
Zec 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Zec 14:2 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.
Zec 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zec 14:4 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.
Zec 14:5 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.
All nations shall go against Jerusalem, not only the Roman Empire.
Zec 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
Zec 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

Jer 46:28 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
The kingdom will be restored to Israel in the millennial reign of Christ, and God will make a full end of all Gentile governments, their rulership, but not make a full end of Israel, and so all Israel shall be saved.
Israel will rebuild their temple, and go back to animal sacrifices, and the world will go against Jerusalem, the Jews, and God will come back with the saints and defeat the world, and save Israel.
So it would appear that the Jews would need a red heifer to purify the temple, and utensils.
The 70 weeks could not have been fulfilled for Israel as a nation has not turned to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah, and Jesus said the kingdom will be restored to Israel in the future at the time appointed of the Father.
Some people have a wrong interpretation of the Bible giving them a wrong foundation, and they try to fit scriptures in to that wrong foundation.
And there is nothing they can say about it for it is obvious, and it is amazing how the Bible proclaims something, and they say it is not so.
Mormon, Christian Science, Scientology, the new age movement, and many others, amazing how people believe what they want to believe.
Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Daniel could not understand what was told him, which the book is sealed unto the time of the end, for they will understand it at that time, for many shall run to and fro, advanced travel, and knowledge shall be increased, advanced technology, which the world knows about each other, and can travel to each other, which allows the saints to be able to see, and hear, and know what is happening on earth, and how the world can come together as one.
Some people say how do we know we are in the end time, because we can see, hear, and know what the world is doing, and the new age movement is here that will lead the people that does not love God to the beast kingdom.
The beast has power over all nations, kindreds, and tongues, so it involves the whole world.
