My Sheep Hear My Voice

My Sheep Hear My Voice

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

Revelation Chapter 11

The Temple of God and the Two Witnesses

(Parenthetical Rev. 11:1-13)

This parenthetical passage includes from (Rev. 10:1-11:13) continues with the measuring of the temple of God and the revelation of the two witnesses, who will be on earth the last three and one-half years of Daniel's Seventieth Week.

The Two Witnesses

"And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Eighteen Facts Identifying the Two Witnesses:

1. They are two men, not covenants, dispensations, etc. (Rev. 11:3, 11:7-12).

2. They are Christ’s witnesses (Rev. 11:3).

3. They will be given power in the future when they come to earth (Rev. 11:3). This does not require them to be men who have already exercised this power.

4. They will be prophets (Rev. 11:3, 11:10).

5. They will prophesy the last 42 months, 1260 days, 3 1/2 years of this age (Rev. 11:2-3; 12:6, 12:14; 13:5; Dan. 7:25; 12:7).

6. They will be clothed in sackcloth (Rev. 11:3).

7. They are symbolized by two olive trees and two candlesticks which stand before God (Rev. 11:4; Zec. 4:11-14).

8. They were already in heaven when Zechariah prophesied, about 500 years before Christ (Zec. 4:11-14).

9. John saw them in heaven about 96 A.D., so whoever they are they are two men translated to reside in heaven at least 500 years before Christ (Rev. 11:4; Zec. 4:11-14; Mal. 4:5-6). This will exclude John the Baptist, John the Apostle, and every other man living after 500 B.C.

10. They will be invincible for the 3 1/2 years of their ministry (Rev. 11:5-7).

11. They will have power to destroy their enemies the same way their enemies seek to destroy them (Rev. 11:5).

12. They will be able to cause fire to come out of their mouths to devour their enemies (Rev. 11:5).

13. They will have power to stop rain all the days of their prophecy (Rev. 11:6).

14. They will have power to turn the water into blood and smite the earth with plagues as often as they will (Rev. 11:6).

15. When the 1260-day ministry is finished the supernatural angelic spirit out of the abyss will use the human Antichrist to kill them (Rev. 11:7).

16. Since it is appointed unto man once to die (Heb. 9:27), it is certain that they are two men who have never died so that they can die at the hands of the Antichrist in the future. This excludes Moses or any other man who has already died as one of the witnesses.

17. They will remain dead for 3 1/2 days and then be resurrected (Rev. 11:8-11). This further proves that they are two men who have never died and that they will not be resurrected, immortal men when they come from heaven to begin their ministry.

18. There would seem to be only two men in the Bible who could fulfil these facts about the two witnesses. They are Enoch and Elijah. That Elijah will be one of them is clearly predicted in Mal. 4:5-6. John the Baptist was never Elijah, fulfilling this prophecy. He said that he was not Elijah (John 1:21). He only came in the same spirit and power of Elijah to prepare the hearts of people for the Messiah’s first coming in the way that Elijah will prepare their hearts for the second coming of the Messiah (Luke 1:17). Enoch is the only other man transported so that he would not experience death in his lifetime on earth (Gen. 5:21-24; Heb. 11:5; 2Ki. 2:1-25). Both were prophets of judgment (Jude 1:14-15; 1 Kings 17-18). Both must come back and die their own appointed death on earth, as all men must who live before the rapture (Heb. 9:27; 1Co. 15:51-58). If either Enoch or Elijah had been transported in immortal, glorified bodies, they would have been the firstfruits of the resurrection instead of Christ (1Co. 15:20-23). This proves they are in heaven in their natural bodies. They will continue there until their return to fulfil Rev. 11:1-19. The lives of Enoch and Elijah are parallel in every sense, so their cases rise or fall together as to being the two witnesses.

And I will... Two of the most colorful characters in all biblical prophecy may be the supernatural prophets that burst on the scene for the second half of the Tribulation. According to (chapter 11 of Revelation), these two are dressed in sackcloth, prophesy, dispense astonishing miracles and witness to the grace of God in the evilest culture known to mankind.

Though some believe Elijah and Enoch are the two witnesses, some Bible scholars consider them to be Moses and Elijah. Proponents of the Moses and Elijah argument point out these two Old Testament characters where the most influential Hebrew men of their respective times. Moses introduced God’s written Law to Israel, and Elijah was the first of the writing prophets and even started the school for the prophets. In fact, whenever the Jews said “Moses and Elijah”, they usually meant “the law and the prophets”.
Together with the 144,000 witnesses, the two witnesses of Revelation 11 will have awesome power and impact in producing the enormous soul harvest of the these 42 months of the Tribulation described (in Revelation chapter 7). They will provide the millions of Jews in the Holy Land a spiritual bridge to the Christian gospel. God will demonstrate His mighty power and existence through these two prophets over whom the Antichrist will have no power until the God-appointed time. Before that designated time, the two witnesses will be untouchable, and anyone who threatens them will be killed (Rev. 11:5).
These two witnesses of Revelation 11 will have awesome power and impact, together with the 144,000 witnesses, in producing the enormous soul harvest. They will provide the millions of Jews in the Holy Land a theological and spiritual bridge to the Christian gospel. Many of the souls harvested at that time will be the sons and daughters of Abraham.
a thousand two hundred... Forty-two months or 3-1/2 years (compare 12:6; 13:5; see verse 2).

clothed in sackcloth... Coarse, rough cloth made from goat or camel hair. Wearing garments made from it expressed penitence, humility, and mourning (compare Gen. 37:34; 2 Sam. 3:31; 2 Kings 6:30; 19:1; Esther 4:1; Isa. 22:12; Jer. 6:26; Matt. 11:21). The witnesses are mourning because of the wretched wickedness of the world, God’s judgment on it, and the desecration of the temple and the holy city by the Antichrist.
