SUBJECT:  Two Witnesses

 

QUESTION:  How soon to the Return of Christ and the First Resurrection is the resurrection of the two witnesses as shown in Revelation 11?

 

ANSWER:

 

Here is an excerpt from the booklet, "Can You Understand Bible Prophecy?" which is posted at the site:

 

The Tribulation, Heavenly Signs (Revelation 6-7), and Day of the Lord all fall within the same three-and-one-half year period!  Notice that the abomination of desolation is set up, and continues "until the consummation," or three and one-half years! The two witnesses prophecy for three and one-half years, and are killed only days prior to Christ’s return! The sanctuary is "trodden down" for three and one-half years, and then "cleansed" by Christ’s return!

Here is an excerpt from the booklet, "Coming Soon--An Invasion from Space", posted at the web site:

 

 "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" [this is a special resurrection just prior to the arrival of Christ. They ascend up into the clouds, where they can be SEEN, not to the "third heaven" of God's throne].

"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 [the earthquake is no doubt the same one which will occur just before Christ's return, mentioned in Zechariah 14].

Here is an excerpt from the booklet, "Who, What is the "Beast" of Revelation", which is posted at the site:

God shows that the beast power will hold sway for three and one-half years. The great tribulation and the day of the Lord occupy three and one-half years! The two witnesses prophesy for a period of three and one-half years, and it is obvious from the latter verses of Revelation 11 that the Second Coming of Christ follows very swiftly after the martyrdom of the two witnesses!
