Day 18
The 2 witnesses during the End Time
Did anyone of you ever think of seeing any 1 of the people in the Bible in your lifetime beside Jesus? Imagine you could see Moses or Paul or Abraham. You may see Paul going to Disneyland. Moses climbing the Great Wall of China. Abraham coming to Singapore for the Great Singapore sales to get some clothes for Sarah or even maybe for Hagar and Ishmael. Haha....
In the book of Zechariah, The bible say that Zechariah saw 2 trees. trees in the bible are always symbolic of men. See Zec 4:11-14. During the tribulation, God is going to rise up 2 men that will speak up against the darkness in the land. The 2 witnesses will prophesy against the kingdom of darkness in the end times for 3 n a 1/2 years. How would the 2 men fight the onslaught of the enemy?
1. Power to call fire down from heaven
2. Power to withhold rain
3. Power to turn water into blood
4. Power to send plagues
So who will be these 2 witnesses???
Based on the above 4 points, Elijah is the better candidate. Read the book of Kings. In Mal 4:5, the bible gives a better picture... Therefore 1 of the 2 witnesses must be Elijah. So who is the 2nd witness? Many of the theologian think it is either Moses, Enoch or John the Apostle.
Elijah - Had the abilities based on the 4 points and Mal 4:5
Moses - Had the abilities based on the 4 points
Enoch - Did not die (Gen 5:24)
John - 7 compelling reasons
As we know Elijah did not die at all because he was taken up in a whirlwind therefore we can say he must be 1 of the witness. Moses died at Mount Pisgah and human can only die once. Yes, Enoch did not die (Gen 5:24) but the bible never mention that he will come back in the end time at all some more he did not have the abilities based on the 4 points.
Some think it is John the Apostle and is very likely is him
1. The obvious hint from God's word (Jn 21:24-25, V15-19)
2. The message of the 7 thunders (Rev 10:1-4, Is 55:10-11)
3. The message of the little book (Rev 10:8-10, Ezk 2:9-3:1)
4. The Spirit of Elijah in John (Lk 9:51-56)
5. The prophecy of Jesus (Mk 10:35-40, Lk 13:33-35)
6. The New Testament witness
7. The name of John
So I can conclude that Elijah and John will come from heaven to earth to fight with the Antichrist. Eventually they will be killed by them and 3 n a 1/2 days later, the Rapture will take place. It is hard to understand by reading it so if you guys got any question feel free to ask me yeah?? I never dream of seeing the people from bible live in my life time. God is amazing. SO AMAZING!! I can say that 9 out of 10 people will not know this event. Is going to be very interesting as we move towards the end of time.
Last night I had a wonderful time in the presence of God. I pray for 1 hr++. I thought I only pray for 20mins or so. It is so true lor that when bad things happen in your life or you feel "emo" it is God drawing us to seek His face once again. Remember this : When you pray, you open the door for God to work in your life!! God have been burning this into my heart which was to prepare an offering message. I have 2 offering message now and is rather easy to prepare compare to my 1 sermon which i took about a month. Friday... beside going for PM, I will go for another shopping. Mostly likely will be alone ba... hai...
