| The Two Witnesses
- Revelation Chapter 11 |
Part 2
Kenites, satan's children in the flesh to deceive you for
this five month period. You are either sealed or you
are not sealed, there is no half way.
Revelation 9:5
5 And to them it was given that they
should not kill them, but that they should be
tormented five months: and their torment was as the
torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
When "a scorpion strikes a man", the damage is
done within the person's own body. The first thing that
shuts down is your mind and central nervous system. The
scorpion has no stomach, and thus the digestive juices
and the process is done within the body of the man that
the scorpion struck. With the mind and nervous system out
of control, the digestive processes of the scorpion takes
place within the person being rendered helpless, and
incapable to defend himself [herself].
This is how the spiritual battle of the end times will
take place, for the battlefield when satan is playing the
role of Antichrist will be in the minds of those people
here on earth. God will allow satan to render the people
spiritually helpless during that five month period of
time, and through satan's lying wonders, and deceiving
tongue, they will believe satan to be Jesus Christ. All
but the elect, and those sealed with the truth sealed
away in their minds, will not see through satan's lies,
and will run to worship him.
Holy Communion will cease for the people, even many
Christians will believe satan to be Christ, and they will
believe that Jesus has returned. In their minds and
through their traditions they will believe satan's system
will be Christ's kingdom here on earth. Yet all this
while, God will have his "two witnesses" in
that time of this great deception [tribulation], and
these "two witnesses" are the subject of this
chapter.
Revelation 11:3
3 And I will give power unto my two
witnesses, and they shall prophesy a
thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed
in sackcloth.
This chapter will focus on the last three and a half days
of the final five months of this age of the flesh which
brings about the last days before our Lord Jesus Christ's
return. The church [many membered body of Christ] is
still here on earth during this period of time. However,
the witnesses will be witnessing for the entire thousand
two hundred and threescore days [shortened
to five months] during this final period.
God is placing these two witnesses on earth for the sole
purpose of witnessing for Him. These two witnesses will
warn all mankind, and "being clothed in
sackcloth" indicates that this warning of the people
of their sins is to be the witnesses only mission.
Daniel 8:23-25
23 And in the latter time of their
kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a
king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark
sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by
his own power: and he shall destroy
wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall
destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also
he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall
magnify himself in his heart, and by peace
shall destroy many: he shall also stand up
against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken
without hand.
Daniel 8:13-25 tells us that when satan
comes, he will bring peace to the world and make the
world to prosper. If your mind is set on prospering and
making money while getting ahead in the things of this
world, you are definitely not clothed in sackcloth. Those
two witnesses will be focused on the things of God, and
not on the gimmicks and promises that the Kenites (who
call themselves "Jews" but do lie) are using,
and their puppets are offering the world.
Notice also that the time of the two witnesses witnessing
are given in days. These witnesses are the children of
the light, and their message is of God. When you
compare the forty two months of Antichrist, from Daniel
9, with the 1,260 days of the two witnesses, they are the
same.
Rev 11:4
4 These are the two olive trees,
and the two candlesticks
standing before the God [Lord] of the earth.
in Zechariah 4:3, 11 and 14 these
"two witnesses" are the "olive trees"
that are spoken of there:
Zechariah 4:11
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two
olive trees upon the right side of the
candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
Zechariah 4:12
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these
two olive branches which through the two golden pipes
empty the golden oil out of themselves?
Zechariah 4:13
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what
these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Zechariah 4:14
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed
ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
This is the answer given by this angel of God to
Zechariah's question as to who the "two olive
trees" are that were in his vision. The two
witnesses are anointed are anointed by God, they that
shall stand by "the Lord in the whole earth".
Not satan, but God the Father. They stand against satan
the Antichrist's one world system [one worldism], and on
the side of God's elect in these final days of this
second earth age of the flesh.
The "candlesticks" represent the
churches", and we saw in Revelation 2 and 3,
that there are only two churches, or types of churches
that God will respect at the close of this earth age.
Jesus is telling John to write the things that he is
revealing to him, and John is revealing to us by the
words of Jesus Christ himself who these candlesticks are.
Revelation 1:19
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things
which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
Those things that John is writing is called the book
of Revelation.
Revelation 1:20
The mystery of the seven stars
which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden
candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven
churches: and the seven candlesticks which
thou sawest are the seven churches.
When you know that the "candlesticks"
represent all of the types of the seven churches of the
final generation, than we know that when the "angel
of God" is talking about "candlesticks",
he is talking about "churches". From Revelation
2:9 and 3:9, God tells us that only two of the seven
churches were acceptable to him. Those were the Churches
of Smyrna and Philadelphia. The reason for their
acceptance was because they knew who the
"Kenites" are, and would not allow the false
doctrine of the Kenites to come into their churches.
So we see, when satan the Antichrist is upon the
earth, the witnesses for God will be the two witnesses
[the "olive trees"].
The churches that give doctrine, and know who the Kenites
are, like the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia [the
two candlesticks]. The "elect"
will come from those types of churches and also all those
saints which understand their doctrine.
