Afterthoughts to the Word, “The Days of Elijah;” concerning “the Mount.”
The Mount of Olives was used, by the Lord, as (1) a pulpit; (2) a platform of prophecy; and will be used as (3) a point of return.
As a 'pulpit,' the Lord used the Mount to teach what is called “the Beatitudes;” aka The Blessed's. [Matt 5:1-16]
As a 'platform of prophecy,' Jesus “sat upon the Mount of Olives” and answered the disciples inquiry into the signs of His return; and the end of the world. [Matt 24:3-22]
The prophet Zechariah foretold that “the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the East,” would be the Messiah's 'point of return.' [Zechariah 14:4]
Hebrew Legend, and scripture, affirms that the Eastern gate of the Temple “shall remain shut” until the glory of the Lord reappears; but, in the meantime it must be left untouched. [Ezekiel 44:1-3]
