ZECHARIAH 14:4 “And His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split at its middle toward the east and toward the west into a very great valley, so that half of the mountain will remove to the north and half of it to the south.”
ACTS 1:12 “Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.”
The Mount of Olives is one of three peaks of a mountain ridge which runs for 3.5 kilometres just east of the Old City across the Kidron Valley. The peak to its north is Mount Scopus, at 826 metres, while the peak to its south is the Mount of Corruption, at 747 m. The highest point on the Mount of Olives is At-Tur, at 818 m. The ridge acts as a watershed, and its eastern side is the beginning of the Judean Desert.
Mount Olives has been a major site of pilgrimage for Christians. Several key events in the life of Jesus took place on the Mount of Olives. In Acts it is described as the place from which Jesus ascended to heaven. This means that He will also come back to the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:11-12).
撒迦利亞書十四4『那日，祂的腳必站在耶路撒冷前面東邊的橄欖山上；橄欖山必從中間分裂，自東至西成為極大的谷，山的一半向北挪移，一半向南挪移。』
使徒行傳一12『有一座山名叫橄欖山，離耶路撒冷不遠，有安息日可走的路程，當下門徒從那裡回耶路撒冷去。』
橄欖山(Mount of Olives)得名於滿山的油橄欖樹，是耶路撒冷城東的一條小山脈，兩者間有汲淪溪相隔，長約 3.5 公里，共有三個山峰，最高的北峰海拔 826公尺，中間的山峰 et-Tur海拔818公尺，一般所稱的橄欖山就是指這段地區。南段則是今日的 Silwan 村。因主耶穌在世上的最後一段時日，常在橄欖山上教導人、行神蹟、禱告和休息，故此地很快就成為基督徒的朝聖地。
根據聖經的啟示，基督很快就要再來。主公開回來的地點，就是駕雲來到地上。（啟一7，十四14，太二四30，亞十四4，徒一11～12。）主怎樣升到天上去，也要怎樣來。祂既然是從橄欖山升上去的，祂也必回到橄欖山。但是，我們不是盼望等候與祂在橄欖山相見，我們乃是盼望先在三層天的寶座前與祂相會，然後和祂一同回到橄欖山。
