Oh, when the actual two witnesses appear (and I don’t intendtot be here for the events), the world will know it and will rejoice en masse when the antichrist murderers them in the street. I sure hope you are expecting to be here when Rev 11:10 is actually unfolding.
The two witnesses represent the Church , which for almost two thousand years has plundered Satan’s kingdom by preaching the Gospel and baptizing souls. Matthew 24 and 2 Thessalonians are clear, there will be a mass apostasy at the end, such that Jesus questioned if he would find faith on the earth when he returned. The great tribulation is spiritual in nature, the falling away from the faith........it will not be persecution ( that has always existed and will continue to exist )
Jesus instructs us to flee to the mountains ( in other words, pray!! )
It is stunning the way this is all happening at a rapid pace, the two witnesses have indeed been killed.
