In Zechariah 14:2-4 nations are to be gathered against Israel and that the city (Jerusalem) wil be taken, the houses rifled and the women ravished and that half the city will be taken into captivity but the residue of her people will not be cut off from the city. In the past and even currently there have been plans by many nations to carve up the holy land to accomadate the palestinian arabs and give them half of Jerusalem as a capitol. Everyday the political and religious climate there becomes more tense. Given what is said in Zechariah should we expect a palestinian uprising to try and regain Jerusalem and if so would this be the final event that occurs before the Lord steps down to defend his people. Zechariah 14:3-4 describes this and I wonder if this is the final straw. I am not trying to date set or anything along those lines. I am simply trying to stay vigilant.
