4. The object of the cleaving of the mount in two by a fissure or valley (a prolongation of the valley of Jehoshaphat, and extending from Jerusalem on the west towards Jordan, eastward) is to open a way of escape to the besieged (compare Joel 3:12 ; Joel 3:14 ). Half the divided mount is thereby forced northward, half southward; the valley running between. The place of His departure at His ascension shall be the place of His return: and the "manner" of His return also shall be similar ( Joel 3:14- : ). He shall probably "come from the east" ( Joel 3:14- : ). He so made His triumphal entry into the city from the Mount of Olives from the east ( Joel 3:14- : ). This was the scene of His agony: so it shall be the scene of His glory. Compare Ezekiel 11:23 ; Ezekiel 43:2 , "from the way of the east." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-5" class="com-number"
