The Two Witnesses - Revelation 11

Revelation 11 - 3.....

I will send my two witnesses dressed in sackcloth, and they will proclaim God's message during those 1260 days."
The two witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lamps that stand before the Lord of the earth.
If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths and destroys their enemies; and in this way whoever tries to harm them will be killed.
They have authority to ....

According to Christian Sacred Text there will be two prophets who will make their presence known to mankind someday. These special agents are here to prepare the world for the second coming of the Christians Lord of Lords. The two prophets will have special gifts for a time where they will be able to almost miraculously defeat anyone who gets in the way of their mission but in the end they will be killed.

The Bible is a book for Christians and the first coming was that of the Son of God,Jesus Christ, according to Christians. This is a great problem in Israel today has Jihad wars are being fought over a piece of land where that is believed to belong to God. But who's God and who are the elect?

Israel is to the Jews according to Old testament prophecy and according to new world Zionists. The torah or Sacred book of the jews describes a time of tribulation announced by the birth of a red heffer.

Israel was reborn in 1948 through the United Nations.

Islamic Moslems may see the Israelites or the Christians as the apostate churches and to them they are the chosen ones of Allah. Of course Islam doesn't deny the existence of Jesus, they have him in the same archaic class as Abraham and Moses and other prophets. To them Jesus is not Messiah. Only Allah is God.

If one subscribes to the two witnesses theory in the context of the Book of Revelation from the Christion Bible then one could expect some wicked things to pass once these modern day prophets make their presence known. They are not welcomed on the global scene as Revelation 11 states. Once they are killed the world cheers but this is when the trouble really starts. The story goes on to say that soon after the two prophets are gone then God releases his wrath on the world in the form of seven plagues.

But no one but God himself knows the time, not even Jesus knew, according to Biblical Sacred text.

11

1. I was then given a stick that looked likea measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count those who are worshipping in the temple


2. But do not measure the outer courts, because they have been given to the heathen, who will trample on the Holy City for forty-two months.


3. I will send my two witnesses dressed in sackcloth, and they will proclaim God's message during those 1260 days."


4. The two witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lamps that stand before the Lord of the earth.


5. If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths and destroys their enemies; and in this way whoever tries to harm them will be killed.


6. They have authority to shut up the sky so that there will be no rain during the time they proclaim God's message. They have authority also over the springs of water, to turn them into blood; they have authority also to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.


7. When they finish proclaiming their message, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will fight against them. He will defeat and kill them,


8. and their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, where their lord was crucified. The symbolic name of that city is Sodom, or Egypt.


9. People from all nations, tribes, languages, and races will look at their bodies for three and a half days and will not allow them to be buried.


10. The people of the earth will be happy because of the death of these two. They will celebrate and send presents to each other, because those two prophets brought much suffering upon mankind.


11. After three and a half days a life giving breath came from God and entered them, and they stood up; and all who saw them were terrified.


12. Then the two prophets heard a loud voice say to them from heaven, "Come up here!" As their enemies watched they went up into heaven in a cloud.


13. At that very moment there was a violent earthquake; a tenth of the city was destroyed, and seven thousand people were killed. The rest of the people were terrified and praised the greatness of the God in Heaven.


14. The second horror is over, but the third horror will come soon!
