I believe the Two Witnesses will be Enoch and Elijah, two men who never died a natural death, but were taken by God into Heaven for the End Times witnessing...........
Thank you for sharing and reminding.
When anyone who doesn't agree is dismissed as a "hater", it takes away from the strength of the discussion.
What is this doing in News/Activism?
What date do you predict?
21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
No rapture there!!!!!!
Yep. Actually, it pretty much ends any pretense of discussion. And I say this this as someone who does not necessarily disagree with the original premise...just with the prideful, arrogant attitude with which it is shared.
There’s a lot of Godless Christianity about. Posting on FR, for example.
Two Jewish witnesses? My money’s on Adam Sandler/Ben Stiller doing a comedy together.

I agree with you. It’s appointed for every man once to die. Neither of them have.
That was my problem with it, too. There is no question that Scripture says believers will meet Christ "in the air". The question is whether it is before or after a period of tribulation. I fall in the latter camp.
I’ll challenge any person who says there is no rapture and that the true and faithful believers will go through the punishment of the tribulation to find one source in scripture that the true and faithful ever went through that type of punishment from God.
The rapture and the Great White Throne Judgment are two very different events happening at different times.
To be fair some believers and lovers of the Grace of God totally reject it too.
I’ve looked into the question of when the Rapture happens and it’s pretty clear it comes before the Great Tribulation.
Meeting the Lord in the air to go to the banquet feast is a completely different situation than coming straight from Heaven at the battle Armageddon.
And the rapture can happen any moment. Whereas what’s described in the book of Revelation, multiple things must happen first before Christ comes back.
Does Enoch count as Jewish? Wasn’t he back around the time of Noah?
Who said the had to be Jews?.............
Thanks for posting this information.
It’s an important subject and I have often wondered about certain things, like....
What happens to America?
What will be the religion of the false prophet?
And so on.
Well, twenty years ago, I would never have thought that America could drift so far from God. I also remember thinking that the religion of the false prophet would have been something like materialistic atheism, but now I think it is Islam.
Of course I’m not a prophet, so I don’t really know what or when this all will happen, but I know that it will happen, and when it does, the Book of Revelations will be such an amazing read for those left behind.
