What About The Rapture?

[Liberated by Faith]

The prophecy of Zechariah 14 was not of the destruction of the Temple in 70AD. Zechariah was speaking of the battle in Megiddo, not the events of 70AD.

There is no mention in 70 AD of this event happening:
Zechariah 14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.


The consuming of flesh, eyes and tongues while one was standing on one's feet never happened in 70AD. Those who destroyed the Temple lived to fight another day. Do a study of the history of the ones who headed this destruction and you will find that they did not die while standing on their feet and their tongues, eyes and flesh was eaten away.

The argument that the events of 70AD were the fulfilment of Zechariah's prophecy are shot down in light of what Zechariah said would happen.
