THE TWO WITNESSES

Key Verse Revelation 11v3

The two witnesses are dressed in sackcloth in order to lead everyone into the act of contrition and repentance during 1260 days (three and a half years. Two witnesses are sufficient to condemn the Anti-Christ. These two ressemble Joshua and Zerubbabel in Zechariah 4v14 in that they were constantly « standing before the Lord » as those who withheld the power to control the heavens. They also take over the Earth (like the strong angel Revelation 10v2 who take over the planet Earth and John who measured the temple and took it over as well. This will give rose to a lot of hate and threats from their enemies. Who can these two witnesses be ? 1) Enoch and Elijah who died without experiencing a physical death. ( ?) 2) Moses and Elijah. Moses because the Word tasks about « turning the seas into blood… the earth struck by a series of plagues. » Elijah because of the miracle that he did by closing the heavens for 1260 days. These reasons make these the most probable persons chosen as these two witnesses. (also see Matthieu 17v3).  Many people believed the Elijah had to come before Christ. The big beast will arise from the abyss, kill them and put their corpses on display (Revelation 11v7-8a). The once great city of Jerusalem will be renamed Sodom and Egypte, the city of debauchery and of cursed slavery. Did the Lord not say that « the disgusting thing that causes desolation will be standing in the sanctuary ». After having worked wittingly to undo the enemy’s plan, these two of God will have to face the Anti-Christ’s fury and they will gave way under his mighty arm in Jerusalem. Those who live there will not allow their corpses to be put into graves. Hate and rejection of God will see the light at last. « They have given the dead body of your servants as food to the fowls of the heavens ,The flesh of your loyal ones to the wild beasts of the earth. »(Ps 79 :2). 

Behold, after their death ,the two witnesses small arise from the dead. At the time when we least expect it and while the TV cameras film the two corpses, a God’s Spirit of life will fall upon them. A big earthquake will strike Jerusalem and 7000 of the most doubtful will fall. The others will be stupified thus praise God, not because of contrition but because of fear.  Thus the importance of the new and sinister warning «  the second woe is past. The third woe is coming quickly. » The first woe was the opening of the well to the abyss and the locusts invasion. The second was this woe with a part of Jerusalem being destroyed by an earthquake. The this woe is three and a half more years of Satan’s reign against Israel. If we add that all up we reach a total of 7 years of tribulation.
