Mount of Olives

This morning we went to the Mount of Olives. It is as it has been for hundreds of years. Some of these olive trees r more than 2,000 years old. This is where Jesus went to get away from the crowds. He walked thru this area teaching His disciples. He told them about the end times (Matthew 24) but before that Zachariah predicts that the on the day that the Messiah comes He will "stand on the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will b split in to from east to west, forming a great valley w half the mountain moving north and the other half moving south" The ascension of The Lord occurred btw Jerusalem and Bethany.
