The Mount of Olives has important prophetic meaning. Jesus Christ ascended to heaven from this location. Also, according to Zechariah 14, He will also return to the Mount of Olives. In Acts 1:12, God tells us that the distance from Jerusalem to the Mount of Olives is a ‘Sabbath Day’s Journey’. Many literalize this statement as simply meaning that the distance that can be traveled on a Sabbath Day is about 2000 cubits. But, there is a much more important spiritual meaning to what God means by a ‘Sabbath day’s journey’. The sabbath points to salvation. Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives also have spiritual meanings.
