The Absolute Amazing Background to ‘The Two Witnesses of Revelation 11' - By Dr. John Whitcomb - Link to Dr. Whitcomb's Bible study on the Two Witnesses.
Beloved, this absolutely amazing Bible study on the Two Witnesses of Revelation and their three and one half year ministry; which will lead to the repentance; conversion and salvation of Israel at Messiah's glorious Second Coming; fulfilling the Day of Atonement (Zech. 12:10-14; Rom. 9-11; Rev. 19:11-21); is a powerful affirmation and confirmation of the truthfulness and integrity of the Word of Almighty God throughout the ages! In this study, you will see how Almighty God will gloriously use these two saints of old to begin the process of restoration with the God of Israel and the seed of Abraham (Mal. 4; Rev. 11)!
Beloved; the dearest and most amazing man that Almighty God has used in the 20th century has to be Dr. John Whitcomb. A dear, sweet down to earth man who gave all of his genetic genius to his ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and Savior to use for His ETERNAL glory (Gal. 2:20). I got to meet Dr. Whitcomb and pick him up at the airport many times and found him always down to earth, genuine and sincere; Dr. Whitcomb had a great love for his Jesus and a great passion for souls and the Word of Almighty God! This amazing study on the background to the Two Witnesses of Revelation is an absolute masterpiece derived from years of walking with His Savior and countless hours in prayer and in the Word of Almighty God. This study answers all of the tough questions about the Two Witnesses and provides tremendous insight into who they are, their character, and their astonishing ministry in the first half of the seven-year Tribulation after the Rapture of the Church (Rev. 11).
Beloved or "Dear friends" as Dr. Whitcomb would say; be sure to check out this audio sermon on the Two Witnesses, for indeed their neglected ministry by many pre tribbers today is a stain on the prophetic future truths of Almighty God, Israel, and the Kingdom of Almighty God!
Indeed, the Day of the Lord is at hand and Almighty God's Kingdom to follow!
I believe them to be Moses (representing the law) turning the water into blood and bringing plagues (his prior earthly ministry), and Elijah (representing the prophets) bringing fire and stopping rain (his prior earthly ministry).
Elijah never died. Moses died but it appears there was a battle for his body and I believe he was risen from the dead going to Heaven in waiting for such a time as this - Daniel’s 70th Week AKA the 7-year tribulation.
Their ministry in the first half of the 7-year tribulation coincides with the salvation of all of Israel (Revelation Chapt. 7).
God bless.
So many have come forward claiming to be the Witnesses.
William Irvine, who founded the Two by Two sect(Cooneyites) claimed to be one and ended up in Jerusalem waiting for it to happen. It didn’t.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Irvine_(Scottish_evangelist)
He claimed to be the divinely appointed and foretold prophet and Reader of the Book of Revelation.[44] As part of that role, he would eventually become one of (along with the Apostle John) the Two witnesses of Revelation ch.11 who would have special powers to prophesy and perform miracles, and would be killed in Jerusalem and raised up after 3½ days and taken up to heaven in a cloud prior to the return of Christ.[45] He prophesied that there would be a coming great famine, and encouraged his followers to sell their homes and farms and invest their money in food and other provisions that would enable them to survive this impending calamity.[46]
Then there are these two...
Two people, man and woman members of the FOU sect (Foundation of Ubiquity) claimed to be the witnesses and got themselves shot dead on a bridge in Jasper Arkansas years ago.
True; but they have to be oil trees (Jews) and of that time of the Day of the Lord;
It’s a crazy church…..
Maranatha!
John 17:17👌😊☝️👍
Me as well my bro;
Maranatha!
Thanks for sharing 👍☝️
Enoch and Elijha.
The two witneses are Enoch and Elijah the only 2 to never die. jmho
Enoch is somewhat of a mystery.
Although there’s no record of Enoch dying, there will also be no record of those in Christ who will “be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall [we] ever be with the Lord” (1 Thess. 4:17).
It’s possible when the Lord “took him” Enoch got a new body like those who will be “caught up” to meet the Lord (1 Cor. 15:51-54).
Moses makes more sense because what the witness does is the same as Moses’ ministry on earth plus Moses is the representative of the law corresponding with Elijah who represents the prophets.
See post #8.
IMHO the Witnesses will be Moses and Elijah. They have already made the trip.
Matt 17:1-3
1 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
who else to send to last Days Israel; Absolutely and incredible; the ETERNAL sovereignty of Almighty God!
Maranatha!
