The day of the LORD comes when Jerusalem is captured and half the city exiled, but then the LORD goes forth to fight against the nations. His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which splits in two; living waters flow from Jerusalem summer and winter. The LORD becomes king over all the earth - one LORD and His name one. All survivors from the nations will worship annually at the Feast of Tabernacles, and everything in Jerusalem will be holy to the LORD.

The Mount of Olives is a mountain ridge east of Jerusalem with profound significance in Jesus' life. He often went there to pray, delivered the Olivet Discourse about end times, and spent his last night in the Garden of Gethsemane at its base. Jesus ascended to heaven from this mountain, and Zechariah prophesied that the Messiah would return there.

Egypt plays a significant role throughout the Bible, from the time of Abraham to the flight of the Holy Family. Joseph was sold into slavery there and rose to become second to Pharaoh, saving his family during famine. The Israelites were enslaved in Egypt for 400 years before God delivered them through Moses in the Exodus. Jesus' family fled to Egypt to escape King Herod, fulfilling the prophecy "Out of Egypt I called my son."
