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
These
are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the
God of the earth. Rev
11:4
The
description of the two witnesses as olive trees and lampstands has an
Old Testament background (Zec. 4:2-14). The two witnesses in this
passage were Joshua the high priest and Zerubbabel the governor.
Their connection to the lampstands was that they were empowered by
the Holy Spirit, symbolized by the olive oil. In a similar way the
two witnesses of Rev. 11:1-19 will be empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Like
prophets of old the two witnesses will be able to do supernatural
miracles, and fire will destroy those who will try to harm them (Rev.
11:5). Like Elijah they will have power to stop rain, and will have
power like Moses to turn water into blood and to bring on plagues
(Rev. 11:6). In the midst of the unbelief, apostasy, and satanic
power of the Great Tribulation these two witnesses will be a threat
to the entire wicked world for a literal period of 1,260 days.
This
imagery is drawn from Zech. chapters 3 and 4 (see notes there).
Zechariah’s vision had both a near fulfillment (the rebuilding of
the temple by Joshua and Zerubbabel), and a far future fulfilment
(the two witnesses, whose ministry points toward Israel’s final
restoration in the Millennium).
two
olive trees,... Olive oil was commonly used in lamps; together the
olive trees and lampstands symbolize the light of spiritual revival.
The two witnesses’ preaching will spark a revival, just as Joshua’s
and Zerubbabel’s did in Israel after the Babylonian captivity.What a dynamic and compelling message from God these two amazing witnesses will bring to "all nations!" No one can write them off as crazies, for they display incredible supernatural powers and defy the Antichrist and his underlings to stop them. No doubt they will be seen daily on international television in every corner of the earth as they warn mankind of God's coming judgment.
standing before the... They will perform miracles similar to those performed by Moses (compare Exodus 7:14-20; 8:12), and Elijah (1 Kings 17:1; 2 Kings 1:10-12; Luke 4:25; James 5:17). They are protected from harm for three and a half years. Their miraculous powers are apparently for the purpose of authenticating their divine message (as in the case of Jesus and His apostles). Their message will be twofold:
(1) Jesus is the Lamb of God (Savior); and
(2) Jesus is the King (Ruler).
The
miracles show that the King is coming again to set up His kingdom,
and therefore Israel must repent.
