Summery of Zechariah's Prophecies?

Here is a quick rundown of some of his prophecies.

At some point in the future there will be more wars and tumult in the Middle East. Then there will be a time of peace.

Then shortly after that all the countries around Israel will attack it - Russia from the north, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and a lot of other countries around there will attack..there will be untold thousands of deaths - this could be a nuclear war, because it talks about deaths that are horrible and things that have never been seen before (in Zechariah's lifetime he never heard of nuclear weapons or guns or bombs).

The moon and sun will no longer light the sky. There will be darkness - nuclear winter perhaps?
Thousands of people will die.

Then Jesus will descend to earth as he ascended. When He descends there will be a bright light, lighter than anything we have ever seen. He will descend onto the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. When his feet touch the mountain there will be a massive earthquake more powerful than any other one we have ever experienced. The mountain will be split in two and a valley will form in between the two pieces.

Jesus will set up his Kingdom on earth in what is now Jerusalem. All those that have died through the centuries will be resurrected and judged good or evil. Those judged good will live forever in the Kingdom on earth - our mortal bodies will be no more, we will have bodies like the angels - no need for food, marriage, etc.
