Historical Sites

They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." - Act 1:11 NASB

Our nation is dotted with historical sites that commemorate where something happened, or even an important individual in history.  These monuments commemorate great lives and events that effected the course of history right down to the present moment.   While the mount of olives is far removed from most of our local experiences it is a real place, where one of the most amazing events in human history occured.  Zechariah tells us that it is also the same place to which He will return.  In Jesus Christ, God Almighty took on flesh and walked upon the earth that He created!  How remarkable indeed, that there is an actual location where He last touched the earth, and we know He will next touch the earth in that same place!  God is not distant and far off, He is near and will return to this earth at exactly the right moment, and we will be with Him!
