Two Witnesses

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. –Revelation 11:3-12

Two hundred years ago, it was inconceivable how this Scripture would be fulfilled. To those who relied on mail delivery as their only means of long-distance communication, it was impossible to foresee how people of all nations could, all at the same time, see the bodies of God’s two witnesses for three and a half days. Today, of course, with mass communication, we can clearly understand how this can occur – through the Internet, webcam, TV, cell phones, etc.

Dear ones, we may very well be trembling on the brink of the fulfillment of these prophecies. Let’s exhort one another to more faithfulness and obedience to God and His Word.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. –Luke 21:28
