"And the same hour was there a great earthquake." The same earth quake we have in the Book of Zechariah, It is called the day of the Lord. Because God is directly leading the events. It is recalled in the v.5. "and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee."(Ze.14:5) Jesus speaking on the end times had warned, " But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."(Matt.24:36)
This hour is not to be seen according to earth time but according to the time which God has set in relation to Israel. Time times and a half time is set in the Command Number Ten. Zechariah tells us "And half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.:(14:4)
Here we can understand the significance of Ze.1:16 The line is stretched the holy city from the city under judgment. The voice from heaven commands the dead, and it is rapture, " great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them."(Re.11:12). This holy city is 'lifted up" (Ze.14:10). The usage of 'cloud' evokes the holy angels accompanying the Son of man in his glory.
Here we have the hour again mentioned. The angel warns,"Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come."(Re.14:7) and the next verse, "And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, " Jerusalem and Babylon in post-rapture is interchangeable. These are the Gentiles earmarked for the court in the new heaven and new earth.
"And the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand"
The tenth part in v.13 refers to Israel as the ten horns of the dragon.(12:2)
"And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one." That day is the day of Regeneration." (Ze.14:9)
