What a horrifically EXPONENTIAL amazing time is just before us in which the world of today is absolutely oblivious to (1 Thess. 5:2-3). The Day of the Lord is at hand in which the godlessness, lawlessness and violence of man will reach its EXPONENTIAL zenith (2 Thess. 2:2:8-12, Rev. 6-19)! What is amazing is that the very world leaders we see today raging and conspiring against Israel and Almighty God's RIGHTEOUSNESS most likely will be the very ones who will give their power and authority to the upcoming beast (aka- Anti Christ - 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 13, 17:12-17).
These present day world leaders may also be the very ones who - during the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation period - will seek to destroy Israel and Israel's Divine protectors (the TWO Lamp Stands of Almighty God- Rev. 11:2-6). It will be at the end of Almighty God's Two Witnesses 3 1/2 year ministry that these world leaders will rejoice greatly in their new godless leader's (aka -the Anti Christ) assassination of Almighty God's indestructible Two Witness's temporal demise (Rev. 11:2-7). So VEXED, so TORMENTED, so ENRAGE will this war ravished world and their leaders be at Almighty God's Two Witnesses and their RIGHTEOUS message that when their 3 1/2 year ministry finally comes to and end (Rev. 11:7) the world and its leaders will REJOICE exceedingly and give their FULL allegiance to the risen Beast (Anti Christ) who will now DOMINATE the world stage for the last 3 1/2 years (2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 11:7-14, Rev. 13, Rev. 17:13-17).
The "SUPER NATURAL" of this seven year period will be as common as the "non-super natural" of our day. MOSES and ELIJAH (the Two Witnesses) will zealously protect Israel, EVEN in Israel's unbelieving state (Ezek. 39:26, Rev. 11:9) from the world’s enraged nations and demonic legions (Rev. 9, 11:5-6). It is our personal belief that Moses and Elijah (Almighty God's Two Witnesses) will be used of Almighty G-d to bring about the massive destruction of Gog of the land of Magog and his Islamic confederacy and armies (Ezek. 38-39, Rev.11:5-6).
As the Two Witnesses of Almighty God's ravished bodies lay in the streets of Jerusalem for 3 1/2 days, the remaining world will EXCEEDINGLY rejoice and praise the Beast saying, "Who can make war with the beast? - Rev. 13:1-4)". However... the Two Witnesses greatest VICTORY is about to be seen! Can you imagine the glorious godless mood of the world at this time when these Two Men are finally disposed of? In the world's godless hearts and minds there is now no limit to what their godless imaginations will take them, for they TRULY believe that they have finally rid the world of Almighty God and His Two Witnesses (Gen.11:6, 2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 11:10-13).
"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. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven." Rev. 11:10-13
With Moses and Elijah's resuscitation and ascension in front of all their enemies into Almighty God's presence they have now WONDROUSLY confirmed and affirmed all of what they have stated for the last 3 1/2 years! All what they have stated WILL come to pass and the Devil himself can NEVER stop it (Dan. 43-44, 7:13-14, Rev. 11:15, 17:17, 19:11:21, 20:1-10)! What is most astounding and amazing about this future event is that the godless world leaders and their peoples at this time will NOT repent, but sell their souls to the Anti Christ and partake of the abomination which leads to ETERNAL desolation all the way to the Battle of Armageddon and ETERNAL Damnation (Zech.14:1-4, 2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 14:9-11, 16:13-16, 19:11-21).
WOE, WOE, WOE.... to those in that Day!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
You’re going to get some debate on identities. Moses is recorded to have died. Elijah was not. Enoch was not. Therefore a great many Christians believe Enoch and Elijah will be the two witnesses. Not a huge point of contention and certainly open to interpretation among fellow believers. And it will be, lol.
Ummm. We’re dealing with God here, it could be anyone. Moses is dead? No problem.
It’s appointed unto man once to die according to the Word of God. The two witnesses die. Moses is long dead. He’d die twice, contradicting scripture.
Enoch and Elijah are long dead too then, according to scripture.
No, they’re not. Maybe you could read it and find out.
The Bible never says if he is dead or alive.
Maybe you could read and find out.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Hebrews 11:5
may i suggest the following?
Israel - those “in Christ” see Galatians 3:29
the two witnesses = the Church. after nearly 2,000 years of witnessing to the world, the great falling away Paul tells us will occur in 2 Thessalonians 2 at the end of the world and the loosening of Satan from his chains has been happening for about 50 years now. Satan is sitting in the temple of God as the Church preaches a different Gospel than the true Faith. there is still a small remnant that holds the historic Apostolic Faith. the world is rejoicing as the Church is effectively dead, dead in preaching a Jesus that is not the ONLY way to God, but one of many ways to God. Judgement for this apostasy is at hand.
how is the world blessed? by national Israel, Jewish people?
or rather, are they blessed by the true Israel, the true offspring of Abraham, namely those in Christ?
the world is blessed by the Gospel, by proclaiming the good news that Jesus Christ came to live a sinless life and therefore was the perfect Lamb of God who died to take away the sins of the world. some Jews have historically accepted the Good News and became part of the true Israel of God. unfortunately most Hebrews rejected Jesus and according to Jesus in John 8:24, died in the sins.
what denomination are you?
It’s all about Israel ba..by!
Also the Church when Raptured millions will never see death, and many saw death and were raised from the dead to die again. It's best that we do not limit God and say He can not or will not. But I hear where you are coming from.
Thanks,
Dave
