Chuck Smith discusses the prophetic significance of Zechariah 14:10, focusing on the second coming of Christ. He emphasizes that Jesus will stand on the Mount of Olives, splitting it to create a new valley and healing the Dead Sea, marking His triumphant return. Smith contrasts Christ's first coming, where He was rejected, with His second coming, where every knee will bow and acknowledge Him as King over all the earth. He highlights the ongoing spiritual conflict between God's kingdom of light and Satan's kingdom of darkness, urging believers to recognize the necessity of submitting to God's reign. Ultimately, Smith expresses hope for a future where one God rules over all, restoring harmony to creation.
