Prophet Zachariah prophesied about the splitting of Jerusalem into two in the end-times using prophetic symbol. Prophecy cannot fulfill all exactly word for word, paragraph by paragraph but meaning are similar on fulfillment which varies from one generation to another as I earlier stated in my article, “NOTE ON HISTORICAL AND PROPHETIC ERROS”
In Zachariah chapter 14:1-6 was explaining symbolically what Jerusalem will become to the nations of the world. He described it as a burden to all the nations of the world (Zechariah chapter 12). The reason is that it had become the holy city to both the Jews in Judaism and the Moslems each claiming full ownership . Jerusalem is indeed a threat to world peace in the middle east; therefore the Psalmist said, “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem”.
In as much as these two religious group are fighting for total control, there will be no peace in the middle east as a result the city Jerusalem will be split into two as the prophecy of Zachariah implied and as also prophesied in the book of Revelation chapter 11.
Zachriah chapter 14:1-6 is a compound prophecy. This I mean that the prophecy contain three major items to be fulfilled in the end-time. The first is about the current state of Jerusalem of which part of it will become the Palestinian Capital City upon its division in order to restore peace in the middle east regions. The second is about the structure of the New Jersusalem whose description is similar to the New Jerusalem which is Cape Town in South Africa in as much as ancient Jerusalem will lost its status to the Muslims upon it division. For more detail, read my article on ‘CAPE TOWN: THE NEW JERUSALEM OF THE GENTILES’
Thirdly, is about the second coming of Christ who shall come with the saints after the division of Jerusalem.
Now let us go into details: We shall figure out the meaning of Zarachiah prophecy only which is the splitting of Jerusalem into two base on the current situation and circumstances surrounding Jerusalem in our days which has proved similar to the fulfillment of the bible prophecies and not on how he explain it word for word, sentence by sentence in the bible as not all prophecies fulfill in that way judging from past experience.
In the prophecy of Zachriah chapter 14, Mount Olive was mentioned as the portion left for Israel after the division of Jerusalem in as much of Mount olive is part of Jerusalem. The rest of the part of Jerusalem will be given over to the Palestinians to become their capital city. Furthermore, Prophet Zachriah described what caused the splitting of Jerusalem to two using prophetic symbols. According to him great earthquake will spilt Jerusalem into two from the east to west facing northward and southward.
The earthquake is symbolic in meaning and not an actual earthquake that will effect the change. The earthquake is the agreement reached between Israel and the Palestinans, the United Nations represented by the United States, Russia and all other Arab nations involved to spilt Jerusalem into two in which Israel will loose part of Jerusalem to the Arab world in order to restore peace in the middle east. THAT IS THE EARTHQUAKE IMPLIED.
Consequently, the rest part of Jerusalem which include the very site of the temple will be handed over to the Palestinian to become their capital city while Mount olive will be left for Israel; therefore, Prophet Zachariah indicated that the warrior King referring to King David feet will stand on Mount Olive to fight as in the days he used to fight in the battle filed implying that the rest of Jerusalem will be spilt away Mount Olive.

Furthermore, Prophet Zachariah explained that there will be a wide valley between mount olive and the rest of Jerusalem as a result of the division. However not all as explained by Zachariah will fulfill exactly but the real meaning of his prophecy is that Jerusalem will be spilt into two parts. That is all.
SPILTING JERUSALEM CONNETED REVEALTION CHAPTER 11.
Now let’s go over to the book of Revelation chapter 11 as Apostle John was given his own version in connetion to the spiling of Jerusalem. The book of Revelation written by Apostle John is a reflection of most of the end-time bible prophecies of the old testament prophets contained in the scroll of whom the angel said” You must again prophecy about many peoples, nations. Tongues and kings’.
SPILTING JERUSALEM CONNETED REVEALTION CHAPTER 11.
Now let’s go over to the book of Revelation chapter 11 as Apostle John was given his own version in connetion to the spiling of Jerusalem. The book of Revelation written by Apostle John is a reflection of most of the end-time bible prophecies of the old testament prophets contained in the scroll of whom the angel said” You must again prophecy about many peoples, nations. Tongues and kings’.
Therefore Revelation chapter 10 is connected to chapter 11 which reveals the ministry of the end-time two witnesses in whose period Jerusalem will be divided as a signal of their arrival. The book of Zarachiah and the book of Revelation spoke about the arrival of the two witnesses in the end-times standing before the Lord of the earth( Zachariah 4:11-14).
In Revelation chapter 11, Apostle was told” Rise and Measure the temple of God and the alter and those who worship there. But do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out for it is given over to the gentiles…..”
Apostle John was prophesying about the temple mount and those who worship there generally. According to him the temple mount worshippers are of two groups. Now let us go over to Israel. One group worshiping there are the Jews in Judaism. The accient temple of Jerusalem was located here but was destroyed by Romans soldiers in AD 70 but what is still standing there as a witness is the half wall. The Jews in Judaism come here to pray facing the half wall believing that one day their Messiah(not Jesus Christ)will come and rebuild it and are waiting for his arrival. Apostle John called it “the inner temple” containg the alter that was destroyed. Now look forward! What do you see? Is another temple; that is a mosque called 'Doom of the Rock' for all moslim worshippers. That is the court outside the temple – according to Apostle John, the court outside the temple is given over to the gentiles for worship. The gentiles are the none Jews. So there are two set of people worshiping on the very holy mountain of Jeusalem and each group claiming ownership. According to the Moslems, that is the place Prophet Mohammed ascended into heaven.
According to Prophet Zachariah, the whole of the temple sight will be given over to the Moslems which will become the capital city of the Palestinians in which already a mighty Mosque had been built; while prophet John in the book of Revelation stated that the outer court will be given over to the gentiles during the ministry of the two witnesses.
