the two witnesses of the end times are about to speak imagine turning on the news one day and seeing two mysterious figures standing in Jerusalem performing Miracles calling the world to repentance and warning of coming judgment they aren't politicians they aren't celebrities they aren't religious leaders we've ever seen before but here's the catch these two men have power not the kind of power that comes from governments or wealth but Power Straight from Heaven fire comes from their mouths plagues fall at their command and for 1,260 days the entire world will watch in awe and in
Terror but who are these two witnesses why do they appear during the end times and what happens when the world finally turns against them stick with me because this story is one of the most intense and mysterious prophecy is in the Bible the story of the two witnesses comes straight from The Book of Revelation 11 let's take a look at what it says and I will grant authority to my two witnesses and they will prophesy for 1260 days 42 months 3 and 1/2 years dressed in sackcloth these Witnesses are the two olive trees and the
two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the Earth and if anyone wants to harm them fire comes out of their mouth and devours their enemies so if anyone wants to harm them he must be killed in this way Revelation 11: 3-5 what you're about to hear could be the most shocking Prophecy in the Bible and as we go deeper The Mystery of the two witnesses only grows more intense at the beginning of the church age John on Patmos is the prophet at the end there will be two witnesses who will prophesy in the city
of Jerusalem there is a sense of impending disaster in the spectacular appearance of these two they will prophesy in Jerusalem but what if Jerusalem itself has become too corrupt to listen between the sixth and seventh trumpets attention is focused on the human channels through which the Divine Revelations are communicated this introduces two more interesting characters of Revelation the two witnesses the nature of their Ministry is prophetic as evidenced by the fact that they will prophesy they preach and display repentance as seen by their wearing sackcloth and they have an effective ministry as we read I
will give power the two witnesses indeed served with power such power in fact that they can witness for over a thousand days despite the world's resistance and if anyone wants to harm them fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies this is only the beginning wait until you see what else they can do fire from their mouths could their mission be one of the most dramatic moments in the entire Bible it does not sound like just self-defense it sounds like Divine judgment first this is a sign of God's power throughout the Bible fire represents
God's judgment and presence think about Mount Si where God appeared to Moses in a blazing fire or the prophets of Bal humiliated by Elijah when fire from heaven consumed his offering the two witnesses Firepower is a direct message God is real and he is not to be ignored this fire from their mouth is a warning to the world fire may come from their mouths but can even that keep them safe from the growing Wrath of the Antichrist because what's coming next will push them to their absolute limit the world at this time will be ruled
by the Antichrist a figure who deceives Nations into worshiping him and remember we haven't even gotten to their final confrontation with the Antichrist but before that we need to see why their message is so Danger dangerous the witnesses stand as a final warning calling people to repentance before it's too late but when people try to silence them they are met with instant judgment this fire Miracle is a preview of what's coming the Bible tells us that fire will play a major role in the final judgment by the same word the present heavens and earth are
reserved for fire being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly could it be that the fire from the witnesses is just a preview of The real fire that will come when God judges The World God has given the two witnesses special protection similar to Elijah they are Untouchable until they aren't who will be the first to try to take them down and when that moment comes the entire world will witness a shocking betrayal all of the nouns you used to refer to the two witnesses In this passage are masculine in ancient
Greek grammar the two witnesses are two men the two witnesses in the Book of Revelation will have miraculous powers to accompany their message and no one will be able to stop them in their work they have power now but what happens when their enemies finally find a way to stop them Revelation 11:6 says these two witnesses have the power from God to shut up the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophesying regarding judgment and salvation and they have power over the waters Seas rivers to turn them into blood and
to strike the Earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish but if these two are so wonderful why will the entire world celebrate their deaths the two witnesses will have miraculous power but they will be killed when their work is completed and what happens next is something no one especially their enemies will see coming the Wicked World Will Rejoice allowing the bodies of the Fallen prophets to lie in the streets but their celebration will be cut short in the most terrifying way imaginable Revelation 11 says when they have finished their testimony and
given their evidence the Beast that comes up out of the Abyss bottomless pit Will wage war with them and overcome them and kill them and their dead bodies will lie exposed in the open Street of the great City Jerusalem which in a spiritual sense is called by the symbolic and allegorical names of Sodom and Egypt where also their lord was crucified those from the peoples and tribes and languages and Nations look at their dead bodies for 3 and a half days and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb and those
non-believers who live on the earth will gloat over them and rejoice and they will send gifts in celebration to one another because these two prophets tormented and troubled those who live on the earth and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt where also our Lord was crucified picture this the entire world throwing the biggest party in history fireworks parades celebrations in every nation people giving gifts to each other as if it were Christmas but here's the twist this isn't a holiday this is a
reaction to two men lying dead in the street why would the world Rejoice over some 's death the media will spread lies about them twisting their message what if no one is left to defend the truth governments call them a threat to World Peace why because they speak truth and the world doesn't want the truth and as you'll soon see the price for speaking the truth in the end times is death Jesus warned us about this in John 3 light has has come into the world but people loved Darkness instead of light because their deeds
were evil these witnesses will shine a light on the darkness and the world will do everything it can to shut them up but here's the kicker they can't be stopped not yet a city unlike any other a city so wicked so rebellious that the Bible Compares it to both Sodom and Egypt Sodom the name itself is enough to make you shudder Genesis 19 tells us that Sodom was Infamous for its sexual immorality pride and violence when God sent two angels to investigate the men of the city tried to assault them their wickedness was so great
that God destroyed Sodom with fire and brimstone now here's the big question why would Revelation compare this future city most most likely Jerusalem to Sodom the answer is chilling it means that by the time of the end this city will have become spiritually corrupted filled with immorality godlessness and Defiance against God and the Bible calls where they also died Egypt in the Bible Egypt represents something different bondage oppression and Rebellion against God it was in Egypt that Pharaoh enslaved God's people and refused to let them go it was in Egypt that false gods and idolatry
Ruled the Land when Revelation 118 calls this city Egypt it's telling us that it will become a place of Oppression could it mean literal slavery possibly but it could also mean spiritual slavery bondage to sin deception and Total Control under the antichrist's rule imagine a world where people are not just physically enslaved but mentally and spiritually chained forced to bow to a false Messiah could this prophecy be a warning that by the end times the world will fall under a system of total spiritual Darkness just like Egypt this is a Divine setup the same God
who allowed them to die has something planned that no one especially the anti Christ sees coming truth is often hated those who stand for God will be persecuted but just like these two men we are called to be faithful no matter the cost Jesus himself said then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to Death and All Nations will hate you because of me the question is when the time comes will we stand for Christ like the two witnesses did and something strange is prophesied here it is so subtle that many miss
it it is possible that the fact that people see this of All Peoples tribes tongues and Nations is an indirect foreshadowing of how current mass media works it is incredible and not far-fetched at all to think of a live worldwide broadcast on new channels and over the internet and see the Fantastic scene described here the idea is also that the world treats these two witnesses humiliatingly to have his dead body lie in view of all was the worst humiliation a person could suffer from his enemies however God cannot be mocked everything is about to change
the media that has spread lies about them is about to witness something Monumental but but after 3 and 1/2 days the Breath of Life from God came into them and they stood on their feet and great fear and panic fell on those who were watching them but that fear it's only the beginning because something even greater is about to happen and the two witnesses heard a loud voice from Heaven saying to them come up here then they ascended into heaven in the cloud and their enemies watched them when the two are resurrected in full view
of everyone the relief will turn to Terror their Ascension will be triggered by a loud voice from Heaven saying come up here this isn't fiction this isn't a movie this is prophecy the resurrection of the two witnesses as foretold in the Book of Revelation will be one of the most terrifying and awe inspiring events in human history the world which had spent days celebrating their deaths is now paralyzed with fear some people scream others fall to the ground in shock the cameras capturing the event Shake as reporters scramble to make sense of what's happening the
fear is so intense so overwhelming that many will realize too late that they were wrong because the Earth was Unworthy of these two witnesses God simply summoned them and they ascended to heaven in a cloud come up here a cold wind sweeps through the streets of Jerusalem the sky once bright and filled with celebration suddenly turns dark the laughter that once echoed through the city is replaced by stunned silence can you imagine the terror the news cameras broadcasting their lifeless bodies are now showing something that cannot be explained this is not an illusion this is
not a trick this is the power of the Living God it is quite a sight to imagine imagine a TV news anchor visibly shaken stuttering over their words a live broadcast shows the witnesses standing their eyes filled with something the world does not understand Divine Purpose the world has no words the Antichrist who claimed victory over them is silent his followers once filled with pride now feel the first Tremors of fear this is it the Final Act a voice from Heaven commands them and without hesitation they obey this is not just an escape this is
a Divine declaration these two men stood for God when no one else would they faed the hatred of the world the Wrath of the Antichrist and the forces of Hell itself but now they are being called home you can even imagine how the world reacts some reach out as if trying to pull them back others drop to their knees trembling but the lives of the two witnesses should remind you of someone the greatest man who ever lived in fact this person was God this person is Jesus Christ the two witnesses preach for for 1,260 days
about 3 and 1/2 years that number should sound familiar because Jesus's public Ministry also lasted about 3 and 1/2 years and just like Jesus these two witnesses will perform Miracles as a sign of God's power does that sound familiar it should Jesus also performed miraculous signs but while Jesus's Miracles showed God's mercy Mercy the witness's Miracles will demonstrate God's judgment they will preach boldly they will expose lies and just like Jesus they will be hated for it Jesus even said if the world hates you keep in mind that it hated me first the religious leaders
of Jesus day saw him as a threat he exposed their corruption challenged their power and Drew crowds they couldn't control the same will happen to the two witnesses they will call out the evil of the antichrist's kingdom and the world will rage against them but here's where it gets even more shocking they also have a resurrection and an Ascension it is impossible to ignore the startling similarities between the deaths of the two witnesses and that of Jesus this is a picture of what will happen to all who stand and firm in Christ though the world
may persecute though evil may seem to Triumph the final word always belongs to God but God isn't finished yet in the same hour there was a great earthquake an earthquake brings judgment and inspires many to praise God but it remains to be seen whether this will result in genuine repentance leading to Salvation when people leave the city a strong earthquake will have already destroyed one tenth of the buildings there and slain 7,000 of the city's inhabitants imagine this the ground Beneath Your Feet begins to shake violently the Earth splits buildings crumble and Chaos erupts earthquakes
are often linked to Divine judgment in the Bible when Jesus died on the cross the earth quaked and the temple curtain was torn in two and in Revelation earthquakes signal major events in God's end times timeline could today's increasing seismic activity be a warning of what's coming the Bible tells us to watch for birth pains signs that something bigger is coming Matthew 24:7 says there will be famines and earthquakes in various places all these are the beginning of birth pains 7,000 people were were killed in the earthquake and the survivors were terrified and gave glory
to the god of Heaven this isn't just any Quake it's a final wakeup call a world that refused to listen is now forced to acknowledge the power of God now while I was saying this story did any person come to mind or I will put it in a better way do the two witnesses remind you of anyone in particular before you hear my theories write yours in the comments you might just see a name that surprises you now there are three primary theories on the identity of the two witnesses in Revelation the first theory is
Moses and Elijah because John makes specific references to the Miracles that the witnesses would accomplish many people believe that Moses and Elijah could be the two witnesses Moses witnessed more miracles than Abraham Isaac and Jac jaob combined with several Miracles occurring one after another as God interceded on behalf of his people you remember the 10 plagues of Egypt right in Exodus 7:20 Moses lifted his staff and the Nile river turned into blood plagues of frogs locusts and darkness followed bringing an Empire to its knees now compare that to Revelation 11:6 they have power to turn
the waters into blood and to strike the Earth with every kind of plague as often as they want this isn't a coincidence the two witnesses will call down plagues just like Moses did in Egypt and just like Pharaoh resisted Moses the world will resist these two Messengers but in the end God's power will always win the witnesses will have the power to convert water into blood rep LIC ating one of Moses's most famous Miracles then there is Elijah this Prophet wasn't just a messenger he was a force of nature in First Kings 17 Elijah declared
that there would be no reign in Israel for three and A2 years sound familiar that's the exact same ability given to the two witnesses then in First Kings 18 Elijah stood against 450 prophets of Baal in a Showdown for the ages he called down fire from heaven to prove that Yahweh was the one true God now look back at Revelation 11 the two witnesses have the same power if anyone tries to harm them fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies imagine that two figures walking through the streets of Jerusalem confronting the most powerful
leaders on Earth calling down fire on those who try to silence them that's not just biblical it's cinematic but why do the two witnesses have the same Miracles as Elijah and Moses could it be because these two prophets actually return in the end times at the Transfiguration of Jesus in Matthew 17:3 who appeared alongside him Moses and Elijah they weren't just figures of the past they were standing there alive talking with Jesus about his coming Mission some believe this is proof that Moses and Elijah are the two witnesses returning to finish their work but this
where the theories get even more intense people also theorize that the two witnesses are Enoch and Elijah because of the extraordinary events surrounding each of their deaths Enoch and Elijah are often considered potential candidates for the roles of the two Witnesses from what we understand God has only ever brought two people directly to heaven without their first having to go through the process of dying the passage in Hebrews 9:27 which states that it is destined for all men to die once is cited by supporters of this perspective it would appear that the fact that Enoch
and Elijah have not yet been put to death qualifies them for the role of the two witnesses who will both be put to death once they have completed their respective tasks since neither Enoch nor Elijah died a natural death but were instead carried to heaven and Hebrews 9:27 states that it is appointed for men to die once some people believe that the two witnesses must be Enoch and Elijah they reason that since it is set for men to die once Enoch and Elijah must return to the Earth to die there this interpretation of Hebrews 9:26
s is incorrect since the verse outlines a principle rather than an absolute and unchangeable law for example Lazarus and others were raised from the dead and apparently died twice yet this does not disprove Hebrews 9 Hebrews 9th: 27 is a principle and there are a few notable exceptions that ultimately serve to prove rather than deny the rule there may be good reasons to regard Enoch and Elijah as the two witnesses but the principle of Hebrews 9: 27 is not one of them in addition both Enoch and Elijah were prophets who pronounced God's judgment Enoch lived
before the flood a time of great evil and Corruption he was the first to prophesy about God's coming judgment in fact Jude 1 tells us exactly what Enoch preached behold the Lord comes with 10,000 of his holy ones to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness doesn't that sound exactly like what the two witnesses will do they will stand in a world full of sin and Rebellion calling people to repent before judgment Falls now there is one final theory that may surprise you because of the absence
of detail in Revelation 11 two individuals who have not been identified are considered candidates for the roles of the two witnesses scripture does not provide a name list for the two witnesses and no famous person is mentioned in connection with their appearance it is entirely within God's ability to take two Believers considered ordinary and Empower them to accomplish the same signs and wonders as Moses and Elijah did there is nothing in Revelation 11 that compels us to assume a famous identity for the the two witnesses there is an intriguing chapter located in Zechariah 4 that
provides us with a model for the two witnesses that are mentioned in Revelation in a vision that Zachariah gets he sees a lampstand made entirely of solid gold a bowl of olive oil sits a top this structure and an olive tree can be found on either side the olive oil drips down from the trees into the bowl and maintains a steady supply thus the lampstand never needs to be tended to by a person to keep its light burning in other words God's power to sustain his work flows through two people who have been designated for
the task the two witnesses of revelation will have God's power flowing through them to accomplish God's work so who are the two Revelation Witnesses the Bible is silent on the subject all three of the above interpretations are valid and plausible for Christians and Christians should not be dogmatic about the identity of the two witnesses we don't know who these two witnesses are and all attempts to identify them are pure conjecture we must wait and see who they are but it does not matter what they do and what is done to them are important things after
the resurrection of the witnesses the final judgments of God will be unleashed the Antichrist will double down on his Reign of Terror the final battle the battle of Armageddon will be set in motion and From This Moment On The World will never be the same again this isn't just about the past what we're about to see has everything to do with the return of Jesus himself but here's the thing no matter how powerful the Antichrist appears his time is running out the bridegroom arrives but but what a sight this is a side of Jesus that
no one has seen before he's complex and now we're seeing him in a completely new way one thing is clear while Jesus was not a fighter during his first visit to Earth he will be when he comes again you can't put Jesus in a box or label him as just one thing he's a Warrior when he needs to be the Son of God Goes Forth to war War the first time Jesus came to Earth he rode a donkey that symbolized peace but the second time he won't be on a donkey he'll be on a horse
the Mount of a warrior he's coming to fight the difference between his two comings is this the first time he came to save and heal the second time he's coming to judge and fight let's look at this picture of him first look at the horse horse it's a war horse a charger not a donkey a donkey isn't useful in battle but a horse is he has an army with him too look at his titles faithful and true he keeps his promises and his word look at his purpose he's coming to judge and make war in
righteousness some people laugh at the idea of a just War but here it is the first and maybe the only truly just war in history this war will be righteous look at his weapons a sword and a rod the sword comes from his mouth Jesus fights with his words and his words can heal or destroy above all look at his title king of kings and Lord of lords no matter how many kings have existed he's the Supreme King here there is a shocking part where an angel calls out to the birds saying come gather together
for the great supper of God so that you may eat the Flesh of Kings generals and Mighty Men of horses and their Riders and the Flesh of all people free and slave small and great why are so many lying on the battlefield it's because they thought they could fight Jesus and win anyone who thinks they can defy the king of kings and Lord of lords is a fool these people led by the world's dictator and the false prophet the leader of paganism gather to challenge Christ when they hear he is coming but they lose the
battle together it's over for them the Beast and the false prophet are taken away forever they don't die they are thrown alive into something far worse the Kings die the generals die and Jesus wins the last World War this is a different picture of Jesus isn't it but this is the Jesus who is coming he is the same Jesus who came on Palm Sunday and he is the Jesus who will come again Hallelujah for our Lord God Almighty Reigns he will have the victory the main message is that even with everything happening there is still
a place on Earth where God's people are worshiping it is a church where God's people are praising and from that group who can be counted come two preachers these two preachers will make one last attempt to warn the world that God is going to judge some have asked if they are Moses and Elijah they are certainly like them in the way they act and speak but we are not told exactly who they are some have said they are Calvin and Luther but that is because they thought the 15 century was the end of the world
even though we do not know who they are we do know that God will make sure there are preachers at the very end to make sure people hear the message clearly God sends two witnesses their words will be backed up by Miracles but still people will not listen in the end these two preachers will be killed their bodies will be mistreated and left out in the open for everyone to see and make fun of for for days but then God will do one last great miracle he will bring them back to life and take them
up to heaven for the first time in these two chapters we see people become afraid of God and give him glory many seem to be confused because they do not understand the Book of Revelation however what if there was an animation showing the entire book well we created that and to watch that click here
