First, a little background. With his armies staging a short distance outside Jerusalem, the AC enters the yet to be built temple in Jerusalem and proclaims himself to be God.
2Thes 2:3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
This single action signals the start of a human wave which floods onto Mount Zion/ the old city of Jerusalem.
Matthew 24:15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand
16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
It also marks the beginning of the GT.
Mattew 24: 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
The AC quickly evacuates and orders his armies to surround and retake the city.
Luke 21:20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
However, the two witnesses and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will be protected from the siege, keeping the AC’s armies at bay for the 1260 days of the GT.
Isaiah 4:5And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
After the 1260 days the two witnesses will be killed by the AC and the protection of Jerusalem will drop.
Rev 11:3And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
The siege restarts and for three and a half days that the bodies of the two witnesses lay in the streets of Jerusalem, the AC’s armies test the walls to the point that a breach is accomplished taking half of the city.
Zechariah 14: 2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Then, Christ returns setting foot on the mount of olives sending an earthquake which split’s the city in half.
Zechariah 14: 3Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
It is the inhabitants that are on the North side that are protected.
Psalm 48
1Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
2Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
It is this earthquake that is used to protect the remaining inhabitants on the north side of Jerusalem.
5And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
Half of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will make it, half will not. This will fulfill the following parables of Christ.
Matthew 25: 1-13 The parable of the ten virgins.
Matthew 24: 40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Matthew 24: 41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
