Ok, to the people who say that Pastor Doug started out talking about the 2 witness but went off on a different topic about the 10C's. Did you guys not listen to the video??. First off, this is a small piece taken from a Prophecy Seminar called "The Prophecy Code", which is an hour or longer, it is cut very short because the program only airs 20 mins at a time of the actual study.. Hes going into a full study on the topic and he starts off with making his case of one of the witness' being the law. So, hes building the case for why the law is still true today, so that no one can discredit the teaching by simply saying the law was done away with... By the way, what was taken away was the penalty of the law... not the law itself. The fact that so many of you cant figure this out amazes me.
I have had encounters with people who will agree with me that we should not kill or commit adultery and that we should honor our parents and they agree. But as soon as I say "the seventh day is the Sabbath" suddenly they say "you're under the law, I'm under grace."
they're right, you are under the law. Galatians 3 Wherefore the law was our Schoolmaster to bring us to Christ that we might be justified by faith but after that faith has come we are no longer under a Schoolmaster(law) Even baby Christians under we are under grace and are justified by faith not the law. Plus it was given to Jews, the church didn't exist till after the cross. Jesus is our rest Hebrews 4:11 Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief
I always thought based on past lessons, it was the old and new testaments. They tried to get rid of the Holy Bible. However, God preserved His Holy word, and It resurfaced.
It’s really simple. During the Great Tribulation, God’s Ten Commandments will measure our actions. The Holy Spirit will see our motives. Together, they will report to Jesus and He will pass judgment on each person.
If you chose to view this video in hopes of discovering the answer to the question, "Who are the two witnessed?", you will be disappointed.The honest and faithful brother teaching here, does NOT know that answer to this question. But, instead, gives a good lesson on other topics. I won't go further with why he is not honest about not knowing and simply states that God has not yet opened this part of Revelation to those seeking the answer.
Royalty and Priesthood. Joseph, the husband of Mary, was both of the seed of David Matthew 1:1, 16, and Luke 3:23-24, and of Levi. Elizabeth, of the daughters of Aaron, is the cousin of Mary, Luke 1:36,5. Mary, the mother of John, Matthew 27:56. They are all of the Aaronic Priesthood lineage. So, the Apostle John is of the Aaronic Priesthood lineage as well. Daniel was one of the Princes- descendants of King David, taken to Babylon. They both meet the criteria for the Candlestick and Lampstand prophecy, as the two witnesses of God, they Anointed Ones standing before the presence of God.
wow Amazing Mission! You used a title that gets attention yet you talk about something completely aside from the main topic! Could it be you have no idea and improvised? Hum. For one thing you are gaining off of people for your own gain and making it look like you are doing it for people! Proof is the way you set it up to claim one thing and do another. Think, think, think. You are not the last say in this or that and frankly take that mirror and look deeper into it for a lot longer in private!
no its not. every thing isn't all symbols. the old and new testament wasn't killed in the street. It is literally two people. Re read Revelation chapter 11 as it is. God literally said he will give power to my witnesses and they shall prophesy. and they 2 will be killed and their dead bodies will literally be in the street and God spirit will literally enter them and they will literally stand. In Genesis, God made the heavens and earth. was that all symbols or literall. You cant pick a scripture and say oooooh ummm it's a symbol ! and that's that's.
Read the whole chapter of revelation 11 and take it as it is. Not everything is in symbols. Doug is a false teacher leading people astray . The two witnesses are literally two people to prophets who ended up dead and God Spirit entered them and they stood up..this has nothing to do with France and if so the scripture would say France.
The two witnesses are the same as the two olive trees and the two candlesticks. The angel explains this to John in Rev. 11:4. The northern and southern kingdoms of Israel are the two olive trees, the two candlesticks and the two witnesses.
The Two Witnesses 👥 Apocalypse of Elijah 4:7-14 (Apocryphal Old Testament) "Then when Elijah and Enoch hear that the shameless one has revealed himself in the holy place, they will come down and fight with him saying, Are you indeed not ashamed? When you attach yourself to the saints, because you are always estranged. You have been hostile to those who belong to heaven. You have acted against those belonging to the earth. You have been hostile to the thrones. You have acted against the angels. You are always a stranger. You have fallen from heaven like the morning stars. You were changed, and your tribe became dark for you. But you are not ashamed, when you stand firmly against God you are a devil. The shameless one will hear and he will be angry, and he will fight with them in the market place of the great city. And he will spend seven days fighting with them. And they will spend three and one half days in the market place dead, while all the people see them, But on the fourth day they will rise up and they will scold him saying. "O shameless one, O son of lawlessness. Are you indeed not ashamed of yourself since you are leading astray the people of God for whom you did not suffer? Do you not know that we live in the Lord?" 🔥🔥 The Apocalypse of Peter - The Ethiopic Text (Apocryphal New Testament) "Enoch and Elias shall be sent to teach them that this is the deceiver which must come into the world and do signs and wonders to deceive. And therefore shall they that die by his hand be martyrs, and shall be reckoned among the good and righteous martyrs who have pleased God in their life. [Hermas, Vision III.i.9, speaks of 'those that have already been well-pleasing unto God and have suffered for the Name's sake'.]" 👣👣 Revelation 11:3-6 (Canonical New Testament) God: "I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth”... They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want." 💫 Elijah's ministry before the end: 📝 Mark 9:12 (Canonical New Testament) "Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things." 📝 Malachi 4:4-6 (Canonical Old Testament) God: "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers *[of God the Father] to the children *[the people], and the heart of the children *[the people] to their fathers *[to God the Father], lest I come and smite the earth with a curse *[smite the earth with destruction]." *[Correct concordance definition] 🌊 This is one of the main reasons why 'Natural Disasters' (Supernatural Disasters) are and will be happening on Earth! 🔮 Jeremiah 6:14 (Canonical Old Testament) "This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Let them glean the remnant of Israel as thoroughly as a vine; pass your hand over the branches again, like one gathering grapes.” To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed a so they cannot hear. The word of the Lord is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it. But I am full of the wrath of the Lord, and I cannot hold it in. “Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together; both husband and wife will be caught in it, and the old, those weighed down with years. Their houses will be turned over to others, together with their fields and their wives, when I stretch out my hand against those who live in the land,” declares the Lord. “From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them,” says the Lord." 👣 John 14:15 (Canonical New Testament) Jesus: "If you love me, keep my commandments." 💥 Revelation 14:7 (Canonical New Testament) Angel: "Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come.

It's not something that is kept. It is you for you ate a law unto yourself, as it is written on your tablets of flesh, that is the heart. God bless you
If you want an answer from the Bible, never leave the job to a seventh day adventist. The two witnesses are Moses and Elijah. If you don’t agree it’s because you don’t know how to read.
@@michaelledden1992 Well..I don't see how the two witnesses could be the Law and the prophets. that doesn't make much sense. The laws of God are the 10 Commandments. Is He saying God's Law were killed and was risen up to Heaven?.. These Men were indeed Prophets' But they were not All of the Prophets. The Bible clearly explains that these 'Two; Witnesses are 'Two' Men. I more agreement these two Men were JESUS, And John the Baptist.
@@valeriewilliams410 yes I know that it says they die meaning the word of God will to the world not to individuals just like during reformation the Bible was outlawed
@@michaelledden1992 Moses was given the Law (The 10 Commandments) by God,,The 10 Commandments are not Moses Commanments. They are God,s Commandments given to Moses by God to give to the people so that they know how to follow and observe God's Laws..
This topic is not easy to understand unless one actually STUDIES in the Bible. I've read much conjecture here on this issue on who or what the "two witnesses" are but did you know that the Bible DOES answer who the witnesses are and is not based from "man's understanding?" See the following UA-cam video entitled, "Kenneth Cox 01 The Two Witnesses." He (Kenneth) actually starts talking about Revelation 11 at the 5:30 mark in the video.
I proclaim to still be an Adventist but, we definitely have this wrong... the two witnesses are Enoch and Elijah..... as proclaimed in Revelations 11, the two witness are in heaven. We already know that Mal 4, mentions that Elijah will come to teach before the coming of the Lord. (John the Baptist only came in the spirit of Elijah)... Enoch will be with him as the second witness, they will be slain after a period and resurrected. it's Enoch and Elijah folks. Josephus writings and the early church all attest to that fact....(though, they may differ on the how.) In Acts 1, the apostles thought Jesus was going to sit on the throne, but he told them its not the season,.... which means upon his second coming, Elijah must present himself to prepare the way of the Lord. Enoch will teach... It is appointed for man once to die and then the judgement. (Heb 9:27) Enoch and Elijah must taste death for the word of God to be fulfilled.. Peace and Blessings. See you in the kingdom .. be vigilant.
you seem to be smart. If I was you, I would leave that cult and find a real bible believing church. Doug is a wolf leading sheep. if he can Revelation 11 wrong, what else is he getting wrong? I dont feel at ease when he preach, it's the Holy spirit in me. I read my bible and take it literally, you cant pick and choose what scripture you want to be symbols.

Elijah was disappointed with God for not dealing with Jezebel, and he, had to single-handedly kill all the 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah. He fled from the threats of Jezebel, forgetting how God had been keeping him thus far. The fearful Shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven Revelation 21:8, that was one of the reasons why he couldn't die at the time. God proved Himself to him, by sending a bird of prey, to be the very one which brought him meat twice a day. And just like He did to Jonah, the brook dried up, and he was on his way to the second mission: to give hope to a hopeless wife of a deceased prophet of God. He was a proof to the widow of Zarephath that God hadn't forgotten Israel despite their rebellion and idolatry, and God seemingly permitting Jezebel to replace His priests with false prophets, wreaking havoc in the land. 1 kings 17:12 she referred to God as "...As the Lord THY God liveth...", not making God personal to her, because she had reached the end of her faith...but God just added another extension! She was harboring a sort of guilt that had been consuming her, and believed that she didn't deserve the miracle of provision and preservation by God, and which got her son killed verse 18. Elijah also blamed God, because he wasn't really expecting much from God as well, at that period of time verse 20. Unconsciously, they both exhibited rare faith in God- the woman, by going to Elijah, seemingly to invoke the power of His God that had proven Himself by providing them sustenance throughout the drought, and Elijah, by carrying the supposedly dead child to lay his own bed, and cried to God, by letting God know that evil shouldn't be used to repay good. Still, in bitterness of heart, He cried out again to the Lord, this time, asking for specific miracle, believing that He would be heard. verses 22-24. He now had sufficient faith to finally meet Ahab, from whom he had been hiding. He found out that while he was fleeing, God had been using others, like Obadiah, to hide the prophets of God, while feeding them from the king's very supplies, during the drought. This bolstered his courage and was rewarded by God making His presence and power known on mount Carmel, and the subsequent abundance of rainfall 18:1-39. Unfortunately, he may have been too bold, to think that the people were hailing him, instead of praising God verse 39 "Elijah, Elijah", but " The Lord is God, the Lord is God". Thus began his downward spiral- God will never share His glory with anyone! He decided to kill all the false prophets verse 30, without asking God (like Moses and David). God made His presence known to all Israel, but he failed to bring them back to fellowship with Him, as His people. Thus, he began to flee again, incurred the wrath of God. He had to cut short his commission, and got Elisha to do the tasks resulting from his failure and zeal without knowledge. God put some new plans in motion: to anoint Hazael, a heathen king of Syria; Jesus to take over from Ahab, and destroy his whole reign, including Jezebel chapters 19-22. (That's why John the Baptist had to begin from where he left off, Malachi 4).
I want to comment, not to criticize. With all due respect to Pastor Doug, but I spoke to you on a live call in radio show this Sunday night, Oct. 5th, 2014 on WMCA AM. I brought up the topic of the 2 witnesses of Revelation 11:10 to Doug and asked him if he had ever considered that passage referred to the 2 witnesses being murdered during the week of Christmas. Doug hesitated and asked me what I meant. I told him that Rev. 11:10 read very cryptically as to the time of the year when the 2 witnesses would likely be killed. How is that, Doug asked. I recited the verse from the KJV: "...AND THEY THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH SHALL REJOICE, MAKE MERRY & SEND GIFTS ONE TO ANOTHER...." I stated to Doug that the disciple John, who wrote Revelation, appeared to be describing not just the circumstance surrounding the murders of the 2 witnesses but also the exact season or time of the year when their murders would occur, as if God intended for John's words to act as a cryptic hint, providing us with a clue when these event would occur. Doug said he had never thought about it before, prior to my brining it to his attention but then somehow linked Rev. 11:10 to the French Revolution and atheism for no clear cut reason and from that point onward, ignored my original suggestion that the way John phrased his words, REJOICED, MAKE MERRY AND SENT GIFTS ONE TO ANOTHER...signified the 2 witnesses would be killed just before Christmas. As you can see in this You Tube video, Doug begins to speak about the 2 witnesses with the implication they might turn out to be Moses and Elijah but then ignores the subject altogether for the rest of the video, instead talking about legalism and the law of Moses, with no further mention of the 2 witnesses. Why was Doug not abled to stay focused on the topic of the 2 witnesses when his You Tube video was in fact entitled, The Two Witnesses? On the radio show on Oct. 5th, 2014, Doug did not give me a chance to make a follow-up comment or ask another question and told radio listeners they could order his booklet about the Two Witnesses. I had intended to discuss with Doug the possibility that one of the 2 witnesses might indeed be John, the disciple. Why John? In the chapter before Rev. 11:10, in Rev. 10:11, an angel of the Lord tells John that he must prophesy again to many peoples, nations, tongues and kings. And yet John was an old man when he wrote Revelation and as far as the history of the Christian church is concerned, John never left the island of Patmos a free man and apparently died there, still a prisoner of the Roman Empire. But if you look at John 21:22, Jesus asked Peter what did it matter to him if Jesus wanted John to be alive on Earth at Christ's Second Coming. Jesus asked this of Peter because Peter told Jesus there were rumors among the disciples that Jesus said John would not die until Jesus returned to Earth from Heaven. Are we to assume that it is impossible for God to return a soul who once lived on Earth as a man (John) to the Earth again to live a second life twenty-one centuries after his death if his rebirth on Earth is to fulfill a mission by God? Many Bible teachers flirt with teaching about the 2 witnesses because they just do not know all the facts concerning the identity of these two people. One could well turn out to be a woman for all we know but that remains to be seen. It may well turn out to be John and another man, perhaps an Old Testament prophet like Isaiah. I believe anyone who honestly has the word of God and speaks the things God tells them to speak would indeed be viewed by God as being representative of golden lampstands. To assume that the 2 witnesses will be Moses and Elijah simply because they may have been previously referred to as the two golden lampstands is not enough evidence to warrant our belief they will be the 2 witnesses. They may be but maybe not. Why, in Rev. 10:11, would the angel tell John he would prophesy again in the future to many in the world when he himself was physically trapped on Patmos? It appears to me the angel had given John a prophecy about his future in a futuristic time setting so far into the future that even John could not fathom or comprehend the sum total of the angel's words. Interestingly, in Rev. 11:3, God declares that He will appoint His two witnesses and then it goes on to describe the mission of these two witnesses. But in Rev. 11:10, they are murdered by the beast... AND THEY THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH REJOICED, MADE MERRY AND SENT GIFTS ONE TO ANOTHER.... Therefore, if these two witnesses are indeed murdered during the Christmas time of any given year, we must count backward 3 and 1/2 years to zero in on the time of the year when their mission would likely begin, probably around the month of June. When droughts usually begin and the 2 witnesses' ability to cause droughts as a judgment against unrepentant mankind will be one of the signs that these two witnesses indeed have the testimony of God in their mouths. If many pastors like Doug have been blindsided to these implications, then we have to ask, are they teaching error, as good as their intentions may be? Because men like Doug have the title of Pastor and have theological degrees from a seminary school does not mean they know it all. After all, even the religious Jews of Herod's Temple were blind to Jesus' identity and misunderstood the prophecies concerning him, as learned in the Old Testament as they were. And I agree with other comments here: the two witnesses are not the Old and New Testament. They will be human beings who have been born into this world just as Jesus was, minus the virgin birth aspect. They will be born into this world just as the prophets and disciples were. There will come a point in time when these two people will begin to preach we must repent and that we are in the last days and that salvation can only be found in Jesus Christ but they will also prove to the world their mission is appointed to them by God by being able to shut the skies from raining, causing droughts and famines as judgments. Whoever tries to kill the 2 witnesses will be killed themselves by FIRE and not by any other manner, as previously suggested by some Bible teachers who have misunderstood that prophecy. The enemies of the 2 witnesses who try to kill them will be destroyed by fire, not by guns, poison or knives but by fire and fire alone. This will signify God's guiding hand upon the 2 witnesses as a sign to those who might believe and understand the scriptures. Stick with the original KJV as it is the purest translation of the Bible in it's original wording, which has basically remained unchanged for 400 years or so. Let us remember this as well: the 2 witnesses may not actually work as a team but independently of one another. That remains to be seen. They may work as a duo or they may work singularly. Something to bear in mind because if they work independent of each other, at first they will be harder to identify as being the 2 witnesses, until their preaching is followed by droughts and other things mentioned in Revelation 11 and not mentioned...
Nyshroud. Awesome expression in words. I'm not sure about the answer of who they are and frankly I don't wonder about it much. I'm deep in the word and blown away by the Melchizedek priesthood revelations at Torah To The Tribes. Today is day 14 counting the omer. To celebrate holy days and not drunken holidays is the way our creator tells us to walk. Amien and Amien brother. Shabbat Shalom. P.S. I'm not sure about a teacher who avoids your questions and or one who has all the answers. Torah To The Tribes has a saying. Don't join a denomination, join a priesthood. Would love to chat the good news. How amazing is our Abba?
nyshroud.com -- I admit tis a curious thing claiming we are to be killed during the time of Christmas. Acknowledging that it may be likely June when we do begin. However, the world's people will rejoyce our deaths... So... Though our end could be in the month of December... It will not be an inclusion of Christmas.
I can agree with you that our Brother Batchelor does NOT answer the question, Who are the two witnesses. My thought is, he does NOT know. The texts in Revelation give so many statements to help describe who they are that no one has yet given a clear and unambiguous explanation. I too, have done a great deal of study in Revelation. Any one studying John's wonderful prophetic message must remember that he wrote as he was directed to write the visions he was given. He clearly states at the very beginning that his visions were given to him by Jesus Christ, himself. Christ knowing that men would attempt to destroy the true meaning of his visions, he cleverly encoded some of his information to foil any attempts to change or destroy his prophecies. This is one of those encoded parts. I have not been able to find a sound, working explanation yet. Time will be our friend, because Christ assured us, that we would understand when it was time to use this knowledge.
thank you, Jesus is that rest. I don't follow man teachings and traditions. Hebrews 4 Let us Labour therefore to enter into that rest lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief
Two Olive Trees- a) Joshua the High Priest -Israel - Levitical Priesthood b) The Apostle John -The Church (Jesus and members of His body). The two Candlesticks- Royalty- David (Jeremiah 30:9). a) Zerubbabel b) Daniel The books of Zechariah and Daniel were not concluded... Olive Tree- Priesthood Anointing (Produces Oil, Religious) Candlesticks, (Uses Oil) or Lamp- Royalty (Political, Royalty) 1 Kings 15:4 Joshua, the high priest (Religious), from the tribe of Levi, descendant of Kohath and Zadok- 1 Chronicles 6:12-15; End-time Ministers of God: Ezekiel 44:15-16...Zechariah 3:1; Jeremiah 33:21; Revelation 11:4; Numbers 25-7-13 Zerubbabel, the governor (not king, though the descendant of king David, but the promises to David will be fulfilled in the end, to always have a Seed in the throne. 2:Samuel 7:16; Jeremiah 30:9), the last seed of David, born in babylonian captivity, Ezra:3:2; Matthew1:12; 1 Chronicles 3:17; Nehemiah12:1; Hagai 12:1; 1 Chronicles3:17-19; (Political) Zechariah 4; given power over the religious and political powers during the tribulation to show the supremacy of God in heaven and in the earth, thus no physical power can hurt them, they are the anointed of God, for the end time!. Zechariah chapters 3 and 4. They signifed the end of law and the beginning of the promise of coming grace, through faith, in the coming Messiah, and also heralded the advent of the Messiah, Zechariah 14, and the conclusion of the world system, and the establishment of the Millennium reign and the final judgment, and the new heaven and earth- Isaiah 65, Revelation chapters 19-21; Isaiah 66:24; Lastly- the rewards Revelation 22. The Lord never leaves any thing hanging. The two books of Ezra and Nehemiah were the only ones not concluded, as the 70th week year will continue from where they stopped and the book was shut in Daniel 12:4. God always performs and perfects His purposes and promises. He is Faithful and True, He has exalted His word above all His name, so none of His word will go back to Him void! He is God All by Himself, as some would say! All glory and praises to His Holy name! Amen! Galatians 4:29-30! It's always been like this right from the beginning, right from the garden, then Genesis chapters 6,14:17-24; 21:9-10- Jacob and Esau; Pharez and Zerah; Pharaoh/Moses; David/Absalom; Jezebel, Athaliah, Haman, Herod, Hitler, Antichrist/false prophet. This has to play out till the end for all to know, without a shadow of doubt, that God rules in the midst of the heathen, the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell in them, and that He is Lord of all!The millennium is the end of the cycle of the end of sin. Man had a thousand years curse the day Adam and Eve disobeyed God. A day is like a thousand years. The oldest man was Methuselah, he lived 969 years, and the last Adam lived 30 years as the Son of man, a human- Jesus Christ, then He was filled with the Holy Spirit, to become the Son of God 100%God and 100% man, just like the first Adam, who was created flesh and God breathed into his nostrils, to have 100% God in 100% man. Thus, when the mystery of iniquity is dealt with, after the 70th week year of Israel, then the whole world will be destroyed at the second coming of Jesus Christ. This will usher in the kingdom of God, for which Jesus Christ came to preach to Israel, before the gospel of grace- for both Israel and the gentiles, because they rejected their King. The scriptures are going back in cycles, we're now in Genesis 6, 11 and 47.It is like going back to the garden of Eden Isaiah 65; Genesis 5, when man will have to live out the whole 1000 years curse, which ends the wages of sin- death, which ends the cycle of creation, until the new heavens and the new earth is established, where there's no more sin and death. Then the judgment and rewards, abd the institution of mandatory pilgrimage to the New Jerusalem, and then, the Sabbath will be observed, signifying the end of work of both Creation and Redemption of the lost soul of man. Isaiah 66. Every nation will worship God, because there will no longer be evil or Satan present. All have been judged and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone- including death, hell, satan, the antichrist and his false prophets and those that bare his mark. The world will be as God in tended it right from the beginning, after the old earth and the heavens are completely destroyed by fire. 2 Peter 2:10-13; Isaiah 65:17; 66:,15-16, 22; 30:30;9:5 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Thessalonians 2:8; Joel 2:10;; Nahum 1:5; Zephaniah 1:15-28; 3:8: Ezekiel 32:7-9; Revelation 20:1; Revelation 20:9-11, etc.
that's right, you have to read Revelation chapter 11 and take it literally. this chapter has nothing to do with France and it's not a symbol, people really need to take God's words literally or they'll be lost. France is not used in Revelation one time. Doug is a false teacher
God was to deliver Israel after 400 years, but Moses acted without God's approval 10 years earlier than expected, and though the people didn't know, it added 40 extra years; Israel was in captivity for 70 years, at 69 years Daniel prayed to remind God, (no one knew), but because the people were still not ready, they couldn't be restored into the promised land without further punishment, thus, God saw it fit to give a hiatus, to bring in the Messiah, through whom they can be covered and get back into the earthly kingdom, if they were willing to accept Him as Messiah, King and royal Priest, but they killed Him instead. So the last 7 years would be that of God's vengeance for the world, after which the Messiah, as the Head of the body- the Church, will return to rescue the remnants of Israel, and the rest judged during the armageddon war. God personally forgive Israel, put His fear and love in their hearts, and making them all know Him. The dead are resurrected, judged and rewarded, or punished. Thus, the return of Jesus to take up all Believers in rapture could definitely occur according to the various predictions, but God in His infinite mercy could be holding back, to see maybe, some would decide to leave their pernicious ways and be converted and be saved- you see, it doesn't please God for sinners to die. Many people do actually love the Lord, but they're not in His fold. Many are still in bondage under mega churches doctrines, thinking they're in "the Way," but not. The Lord is waiting for the scales to fall off their eyes because they're blinded by religion. "Come out of them, touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." The "Acceptable Year of the Lord " is still in force, but it's quickly ending to give way to "The Day of Vengeance of our God.""" God is not willing for anyone to perish, so rapture is being delayed, maybe for a day, week, month, year, decade, etc. He alone knows, all we need to do is be prepared and get ready - or not! Some are praying for the salvation of the soul of the world, and they don't know! Moses came, but it didn't seem like he could get them out, until the due date, when they had to hurriedly prepare, eat their bread unleavened, with bitter herbs, and set out from the land of their captivity when they least expect. Jesus Christ will appear when we least expect, so we must always be prepared, watch, and pray, so we don't miss that moment as "the twinkling of the eye.""" No time for do-over! So thank God for all who are predicting His return, even though He seems not to be returning as predicted, still "be prepared " because it will definitely be too late by the time we actually realize that it's absolutely too late!
Israel was baptized unto Moses, by crossing the Red sea, and by being under the cloud covering, until Moses decided to replace the cloud covering with the physical ark, which signified the presence of God, as he, in utter disobedience and unbelief, was too eager to show his father-in-law, his position of leadership and authority (far from the fugitive who had married his daughter)- Numbers 9:15-23; Exodus 40:34-38; Numbers 10:28-36). Then the spirit of murmuring entered the camp and there was no mention of the cloud covering from then on, and Moses made more mistakes upon mistakes until the whole congregation were destroyed in the wilderness, except for Joshua and Caleb and the young generations. 1 Corinthians 10:1-2. Believers are baptized into Christ, by the Holy Spirit, through the faith of the Believer in Christ. Galatians 3:24-29; Romans 6:2-10; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, all are talking about baptism by faith, not water. Whosoever puts their faith and trust in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, is already circumcised and baptized into Him by the very circumcision and baptism of Jesus Christ. He already perfected everything that pertains to life and godliness for all Believers until He returns as promised to redeem His purchased possession and present them faultless before the presence of God the Father, in heavenly places! Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians chapters 1-5; Colossians chapters 1-4 etc.
Elijah didn't complete his mission to restore Israel to God. He single handedly killed 850 priests of Baal and Asherah. He fled from the threat of Jezebel - a queen and a princess 1 Kings 16:31, and asked God to kill him (but no one under God's mission or promises can ever die). He was taken up in a whirlwind, as the horses and chariot of fire parted both Elisha and himself. 2 Kings 2 8-14. Elijah returned to complete his mission to reconcile Israel back to faith in God, as John the Baptist, who came in the spirit of Elijah Luke 1:17. John was also threatened and killed by a queen and a princess, Matthew 14:3-12. He couldn't understand why Jesus Christ, being the Messiah and his cousin, wouldn't get him out of the prison, and doubted if He was really the expected Messiah, for whom he was sent to prepare His way. Matthew 11:2-14. The only person noted specifically in the scriptures that didn't die, was Enoch. There are also many others who were not mentioned to have died- Ezra, Nehemiah, Paul, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos etc. Jonah sort of died and was restored, Daniel slept and was called up to complete his prophecy Daniel 12:13; Revelation 4:1 etc.
John the Baptist already came to finish the commission that Elijah couldn't complete, and he asked God to let him die 1 Kings 19:14, and God grantedit- in a way but was restored in Matthew 17:1-2; but he already came : Matthew 17:12. John the Baptist was beheaded to complete Elijah's act of beheading all the 450 prophets of baal and 400 prophets of asherah at the brook of Kison. 1 Kings 18:28; 2 Corinthians 5:10. That was why Jesus ignored him and made him to doubt if He was actually the Messiah, despite the fact that he was the one who got Him baptized and witnessed to Him as the Lamb of God, who came to save the world. He doubted: that made him small before God. Abraham BELIEVED the Lord, and it was accounted to him for righteousness Galatians 3:6-9; Romans 4:3. Enoch was God's proof of a perfect man, born into a fallen estate, to show that man, even in His fallen estate, can still receive acceptance, contrary to what satan thought, since he can never be forgiven, that is one of the most compelling reasons why satan hates man, and all he does is mutilate and genetically re-engineer the flesh to scorn God. Moses couldn't get into the promised land and fell short of God's grace, he asked God to kill him as well, out of the frustration of doing the work of the Spirit, in the flesh, like Elijah Numbers 11:14-15, God honored his request as well, but God preserved his body because he had been in close contact with God and His glory. He and Elijah were restored to glory on the mount of transfiguration, where they witnessed God's answer for the redemption of the fallen man, who they both became frustrated with, and thought they were beyond salvation. Matthew 17:1-2. The same way He revealed Jesus to Daniel, because he couldn't understand, no matter how much of the prophesies he received, so he was made to shut the book Daniel 12:4, until all the prophecies were fulfilled and He saw the risen savior in the book of Revelation (which I believe was written also by both Him (for Israel), and John (for the Church), as he was told to rest till the time of the end, when all prophecies would have been fulfilled, and he would then understand what he wasn't able to at that time. The prophesies in the book of Revelation had their root in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, and the Apostle John wasn't privy to that. Unless, of course, he was there to confirm it- as a witness (out of the mouth of two or three witnesses, a matter is established), all that which had been hidden was now revealed to Daniel for his understanding. The scriptures had nothing to show as a background for John being the writer of the book of Revelation, though. The whole scenario is also similar to that in the book of Daniel - the angels, the island, etc. ; just like how Jesus Christ was eventually revealed to the Apostle Paul - His last desciple, in Acts 9, to fulfill his deferred mission for which he was called in Luke 18:18-22. No other person received Jesus's call after this. God never leaves anything unfinished. Jesus couldn't be killed until He finished the whole work of salvation that God began when He got up from His 7 day sabbatical rest, from the work of salvation, until the cross John 5:17, 19:30, until He returns for the redemption of His purchased possession Ephesians 1:14; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-58, for which cause He sent His Holy Spirit to keep and teach and energize everyone that puts their trust in Him till the end John 20:22; Romans 8:9, 14; John 14:26. Who is the One holding off that man of sin, until all the sheep in the fold are ready and complete to be taken up and out in order to be presened faultless before the presence of God the Father, with exceeding joy! No Holy Spirit (with evidence of speaking in tongues, no God, no redemption, no salvation, no Jesus, no matter who you are) Mark 16:16-18. Jesus's death burial and resurrection - for both those who believed before and after His life on earth, can only be believed without proof, but simply by faith- believing without seeing, which is the bedrock of the Christian faith Matthew16:16- Peter's confession of Jesus being the Christ. His profession was declared by believing his brother, Andrew's account that they have seen the Messiah, even though he never personally witnessed the heavens open during Jesus's baptism, and the Father declared Jesus Christ as His only Begotten Son. John 1:41, and Peter simply believed - like Abraham, the father of faith - and it was imputed to him as righteousness. Believe without seeing! Hebrews 11:6- WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD...
The reason the world will not permit the two witnesses to be buried. The reason they're not allowed to be buried, is so that they can watch and see how, and if God will raise them up like He did Jesus, but no one witnessed this, and they reported that the Apostles had stolen His body and claimed that He was risen from the dead. So, the whole world rejoiced because they had believed that they had finally overcome the so called people of God, and they now have the power over God, since they have been rebelling against Him from the beginning of creation. But they will be gravely mistaken, as they have always been, since the world began! They will have a rude awakening, when their destruction comes upon them unexpectedly after they see them ascend up to heaven! They will try to hide from the eye staring at them from the sky, and they will ask the mountains to cover them, but the mountains will suddenly grow legs and run away from them Psalm 114:5; Revelation 14:16: 16:20! Weird stuff will be happening in the world at this time! 100 lb hail mixed with fire will fall on them, and that's all before the real judgment! No wonder it's called the "Wrath of God", the cup of trembling etc. Now is the time to choose or change sides! Whose side are you going to be? Like Phineas, please choose the Lord's side!
Elijah's mission was to bring Israel back to God, the Son, back to the Father, but didn't complete his mission, but instead, asked God to kill him.1 Kings 19. God's word must be fulfilled, so, he was temporarily taken up, and his mission was completed by John, who came baptizing Israel, reminiscent of their crossing the sea, and returning to the promised land. Thus, water baptism is only for the Jews, Believers in Christ are infilled or baptized into the death of Jesus Christ Romans 6:3-11, and into His body of Christ at His coming Galatians 3:27. Matthew 3:11, fire for unbelievers. Thus, only Israel has to repent, turn and be converted from rebellion into obedience to the will of God.
I thought this video is about the two witnesses? why is it almost all about the Sabbath again?.... so much redundancy may trace desperation and insecurity too, you know....brothers... peace to you all though....
Did you not listen to the video??. First off, this is a small piece taken from a Prophecy Seminar called "The Prophecy Code", which is an hour or longer, it is cut very short because the program only airs 20 mins at a time of the actual study.. Hes going into a full study on the topic and he starts off with making his case of one of the witness' being the law. So, hes building the case for why the law is still true today, so that no one can discredit the teaching by simply saying the law was done away with... By the way, what was taken away was the penalty of the law... not the law itself. It amazes me that you clearly didnt listen, he lays this out in the beginning of the video.
Moses didn't escape death but corruption. Since dust is the meat of the serpent, he can only feed on dead men who become corrupted and return to dust. ( That's why David asked God not to let him see corruption, Psalm 16:10). Elijah was taken to heaven but both Moses and himself couldn't die because they didn't finish their commission, and were given opportunity to be restored back glory on the mount of transfiguration, after Elijah had already paid for killing all the 850 prophets of baal and asherah, with His head. 2 Corinthians 5:10. He paid by also getting killed by the queen princess, reminiscent of Jezebel - a queen and a princess, from whom he fled after the mount Carmel experience. Many people didn't die in the Bible, and many are still alive from their time till today. Simeon, Anna- Luke 2:25-27, kept by the power of the Holy Spirit, even before He descended on Jesus Christ at His baptism. Luke 9:27; John 11:25-26; 8:51. We don't know how or where, but God is keeping them all until the rapture, according to His word. He is Faithful and True to perform all His promises. If you can simply believe!
witness is the same as testament.. two witnesses = two testament the old and the new testaments... it pretty simple when you look at it without making it a complexed issue!
'Angelus 'A ... What about the part where they are killed, after 42 months/3.5 years, & the world watches as their bodies ly in the streets for 3 days?...Or, am I misinformed here?
'Angelus 'A -- Since this will be the only time like this and since you claim we are the old and new testament... Why is there not 3 witnesses...because there will be a third testament or more.
In Revelations chapter 1 verse 20 the angel tells you what the Stars the Seven stars are there angels and he also tells you what the two candlesticks are are the Church the true church and that is for the Jews and the Gentiles there's two and the two olive trees it is not just two individuals it is God's true church the Gentiles and the Jews Zec 11:3,11,12 Rom 11,17,24 Jam 3:12
Olive Tree- Priesthood Anointing (Produces Oil, Religious) Candlesticks, (Uses Oil) or Lamp- Royalty (Political, Royalty) 1 Kings 15:4 Joshua, the high priest (Religious), from the tribe of Levi, descendant of Kohath and Zadok- 1 Chronicles 6:12-15; End-time Ministers of God: Ezekiel 44:15-16...Zechariah 3:1; Jeremiah 33:21; Revelation 11:4; Numbers 25-7-13 Zerubbabel, the governor (not king, though the descendant of king David, but the promises to David will be fulfilled in the end, to always have a Seed in the throne. 2:Samuel 7:16; Jeremiah 30:9), the last seed of David, born in babylonian captivity, Ezra:3:2; Matthew1:12; 1 Chronicles 3:17; Nehemiah12:1; Hagai 12:1; 1 Chronicles3:17-19; (Political) Zechariah 4; given power over the religious and political powers during the tribulation to show the supremacy of God in heaven and in the earth, thus no physical power can hurt them, they are the anointed of God, for the end time!. Zechariah chapters 3 and 4. They signifed the end of law and the beginning of the promise of coming grace, through faith, in the coming Messiah, and also heralded the advent of the Messiah, Zechariah 14, and the conclusion of the world system, and the establishment of the Millennium reign and the final judgment, and the new heaven and earth- Isaiah 65, Revelation chapters 19-21; Isaiah 66:24; Lastly- the rewards Revelation 22. The Lord never leaves any thing hanging. The two books of Ezra and Nehemiah were the only ones not concluded, as the 70th week year will continue from where they stopped and the book was shut in Daniel 12:4. God always performs and perfects His purposes and promises. He is Faithful and True, He has exalted His word above all His name, so none of His word will go back to Him void! He is God All by Himself, as some would say! All glory and praises to His Holy name! Amen! Galatians 4:29-30! It's always been like this right from the beginning, right from the garden, then Genesis chapters 6,14:17-24; 21:9-10- Jacob and Esau; Pharez and Zerah; Pharaoh/Moses; David/Absalom; Jezebel, Athaliah, Haman, Herod, Hitler, Antichrist/false prophet. This has to play out till the end for all to know, without a shadow of doubt, that God rules in the midst of the heathen, the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell in them, and that He is Lord of all!
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and Dreadful day of the Lord. I don't know about the other one, some say Enoch or Moses. But we do know one is Elijah. And the 2 witnesses are literally two people who are prophets.You gotta take Revelation 11 literally or you'll just be lost. Doug is a false teacher in the church who doesn't take his bible literally. if he can get that wrong, what else is he getting wrong?
@@jessy4464 Good Day.. The two Witnesses were those who witness the Events of JESUS.. Did Elijah witness these things? Not unless John the Baptist whom JESUS said is Elijah is considered One of the Witnesses. In (Acts 1:8) . But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is Come upon you: and ye shall be Witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Also in Revelation 3:14) Unto the angel 9f the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.... So from these verses, the Apostles are the witnesses of JESUS, And JESUS is the True witness of Creation..
@@jessy4464 The Great Day of the LORD has nothing to do with the two Witnesses..We are discussing Who are these two Witnesses? These two Witnesses are not Witnessing the Day of the LORD; They are Witness to see JESUS came in the flesh as the Prophets prophesied in the days of Old..
@@jessy4464 I believe the Great Day of the LORD is when JESUS rose from the dead. The wrath of God will be when the wicked people will die And they will be judged,. Maybe in death.. The Bible says there will come a time when the dead hears the voice of God; and will be judged..
Dear Brother Batchelor. You said, "Can anyone be saved by keeping the Law. No!" Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: *but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments* . You quoted the words of the Savior in every other instance but here. And you should be commended for your excellent delivery. But how hard is it to grasp this simple point. This is where Adventist theologians fail. They alter the words of God. Did not the Savior say this? Mat_16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and *then he shall reward every man according to his works* . We cannot afford to be inconsistent. Everything else you said was on target, but our theologians have lost their minds. If you keep God's Law *you will be saved* . The Savior promised that in Mat 19:17. Keeping God's law implies that your intentions will be questioned to establish your works. Actions are not necessarily Works. No man's works are acceptable if the intent is askew. A work is not a motion. If what a man does is just cogitations of the body, then the cogitations cannot be rendered as works. We call it Epilepsy. And if any motion a man makes is powered by intent, then judgment will review that work and the inherent intent. Our theologians have failed or they have been invaded, I leave it to you to decide, but they cannot figure out how to get around the Evangelical "Saved by Grace". In every utterance, the Savior said that by works is how a man will be saved. Rev_14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; *and their works do follow them* . Works are the only medium via which man's intentions are made known. Only a work reveals the heart within. That is why the Savior said: Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that *I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works* . How many times does God have to say that for us to believe it? That is also how it was in the Old Testament: Jer_17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and *according to the fruit of his doings* . For heaven's sake, we are not saved by Grace. The Savior never mentioned Grace at all. Grace is useful only to allow a sinner to approach God without perishing. But that does not translate to Salvation. The Pharisees did nearly nothing according to God's Law. They did not keep God's Laws. They made their own laws to make it easy to sin all they want. Jas_2:24 Ye see then how that *by works a man is justified* , and not by faith only. And this is a verse poorly translated. It should have been translated as follows. Jas_2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and *not by faith alone* . It is time to wake up Brother. Legalism does not define a man who keeps God's Law to be saved. All people will be saved by works: Rev_20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, *according to their works* . Rev_20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man *according to their works* . Rev_22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, *to give every man according as his work shall be* . Rev_2:2 *I know thy works, and thy labour* , and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: Rev_2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and *repent, and do the first works* ; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. Rev_2:9 *I know thy works* , and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Rev_2:13 *I know thy works* , and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. Rev_2:19 *I know thy works* , and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. Rev_2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and *I will give unto every one of you according to your works* . Rev_2:26 *And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end* , to him will I give power over the nations: Rev_3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; *I know thy works* , that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead . Rev_3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for *I have not found thy works perfect before God* . Rev_3:8 *I know thy works* : behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Rev_3:15 *I know thy works* , that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. Salvation is not by works? Maybe someone should inform the Savior. Keep in mind that the Savior never mentioned "Grace". Grace has a place but it is not a replacement for God's Mercy.
2 Corinthians 3 But if the ministration of death written and Engraving in Stones was glorious so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses. God made us able Ministers of the New Testament not of the letter but of the spirit for the letter kills but the spirit gives life. We are truly under grace and not law. Doug is a wolf talking to the sheep and Jesus said my she hears my voice and follows me. If the seventh day adventists continue to follow what man says and not the bible in it contexts, then they will continue to follow the wolf. Trust Jesus not yourselves or Doug
The two witnesses will appear at the conclusion of the world system. They are both representing both the church and Israel. At this time, we're gathering together to confirm that the 2 witnesses could be the Apostle John and Daniel. Their mission overlap as both represent the Church and Israel, respectively. Revelation 1:1-2, equally applies to both of them- Daniel was referred to as "Greatly beloved " 10:111, 19, as well as John referred to himself as "the desciple whom Jesus loved " John 21:7; 13:23; 20:2. They both received direct Revelation from the risen Jesus Christ. John 16:25; Daniel 8:17; 20:1, 8-9; Revelation 1:17 (Daniel chapters 8-12. (Daniel chapter 10=Revelation 1, Jesus Christ came to give them the vision, from the Father). Revelation 10:11 signified the end of all written prophecies, both old and new testaments, and now they must be orally proclaimed, which continues into chapter 11, about the mission of the two witnesses. Daniel once "rested" until the manifestation and completion of the prophecy, which he couldn't understand - about the suffering and killed Messiah. John was called up in Revelation 4, and I believe the same goes for Daniel, called up from his rest. Thus, it's highly probable that they both were the ones prophesying for 1,260 days- for both the remnants of Israel and the left behind Christians, and as witnesses to the whole world as the "mystery of iniquity" is being concluded Revelation 11:2, and the world system is being prepared for final judgement. They had to do to fulfill the word that says, "It is appointed to man, once to die, and then judgment." They died, but according to 1 Corinthians 15:51-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; death's sting had no effect on them, and the grave couldn't be victorious over them! They were finally called back up, and they ascended into heaven Revelation 11:7-12 to be in the presence of the Lord as "The Two Anointed Ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth " - The two Candlesticks and two Olive Trees!!! It has always been about the Royal-Priesthood: Royal- House of David; Priesthood: House of Levi- Aaron-Zadoc , Zechariah 6:9-15; 1 Samuel 30:7-8 ( 2:28; 21:1-6; 2 Samuel 6:7-14). ZECHARIAH 4:11- REVELATION 11:4! Fulfilling God's original plan, even the mystery which had been hid from the foundation of the world, finally settled in heaven! Exodus 19:6; 1 Peter 2:9-10- Israel and the Church becomes One New Man, in Christ Jesus, who stood in the midst of the seven Candlesticks Revelation 1:13! Fulfilling Zechariah 4:14! Man, who was made in the image and likeness of Christ Jesus, was covered in glory at Creation, then lost this glory. Jesus Christ left His glory to save the soul of fallen man, and for the promised glory, went to the cross died and resurrected from the dead and restored man to glory John 17:22; 1 Peter 5:10. This is the anointing upon both Israel and the Church because of the faith of Abraham. Man now has a place before the presence of God as: 1) In Christ - Head plus His Body - the ransomed and redeemed, the Church, in the midst of the Candlesticks, Revelation 1. 2) As the 2 Olive Trees and 2 Candlesticks- Joshua the High Priest, Zerubbabel, the Apostle John and Daniel, representing Israel and the Church, 3) The 24 Elders representing men of old, 12 elders of the 12 tribes, and 12 elders of the Church, 4) The 144,000, who were never defiled, even with women, but had the original body undefiled by Satan and the world. The story is simply about the restoration of man into glory, despite the devils shenanigans over the ages. In conclusion, the 2 witnesses represent both Israel as a nation and the Church as the body of Christ, for the subsequent coming of the kingdom of God on earth. Let the Lord shed light on His mystery in Jesus' name!
There is only ONE Gospel: The Gospel of Reconciliation. All other gospels are accursed. Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself. We are the fallen angels kept in DNA chains of darkness. If you do not confess being a fallen angel in Lucifer's kingdom, then you are an unbeliever. Unbeliever = those that claim to be made in the image of God.
Amazing Facts? Really? I mean Really? Do you really know who the two witnesses foretold in Revelation ch II are? Hmmm I bet not! Now I will go watch some... Also... Neither Moses nor Elijah nor ANY Ancient Prophet, Saint, Apostle or Deciple are the Two Witnesses. Not one of them are asked or required to give up their heritage and more.
@@clementmakondi1773 Well, there is a very good reason one can read my comments in a wide variety of UA-cam videos with their WRONG ideas about us (the 2 Witnesses). First, I am one of the 2 Witnesses and who would know more about us than one of us? All these folks out here claiming they know who the two Witnesses are, do this for monetary gain. (Although I agree a man is worthy of his hire... I still have not out up video posts. (I am dirt floor poor but I don't chase money.) We... The 2 Witnesses are pale Christian Gentiles men. We are proof that in Heaven Gentiles are equal to Jews. This is the only physical proof that Gentiles are accepted in Heaven as equals to God's Chosen. God chose the Jews and Gentiles chose God... This is how equality is readily accepted. Jews seeing and knowing we (the Witnesses are Prophets of their God is validation the Jews will accept, but not until they see us ascend to Heaven. Think you can show me how Gentiles in Heaven and on earth will be gladly accepted by Jews, I mean other than what I just described? Good luck with that. So... I am quite certain I missed nothing. Jews will recognize Christian Believers as their brothers and sisters.
I thought this was supposed to be a teaching on the identity of the two witnesses, shame on you, very very deceptive. I love God's law, it is perfect for what it was intended, to point us to Jesus as God almighty, creator of all.
Thats the questions the devil always use so that people think they can't never keep the 10 commandments..But the Bible says all things are possible with God matthew 19:26, Mark 10:27, Luke 18:27 etc.. In Hebrew mind, the idea of one didn’t mean numerical quantity but it meant one unit. There’s unity in the word one. For example, Genesis 1:26 and 3:22, God is referred in Plural form “us” which means Father, Son and Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. Hebrew uses the word “Elohim” as a phrases for God and it is a plural word not singular. The word “Trinity” can’t be found in the Bible just like the word “Bible” can’t be found in the Bible itself. Bible is a Latin word for “Book” used to refer the Words of God in Old and New Testaments. While, Trinity is a Latin word for “Three Entities” used to refer the Three Entities of God. In Matthew 3, you can find about baptism where Father is in heaven saying, This is my beloved Son to Jesus while He is in the water and the Holy Spirit is coming down in the form of dove. You can see the Three Entities of God or Trinity here. You also can see about the Trinity in prayer where we are asking something that we want from Father(Matthew 6:6) in the name of Jesus the Son(John 14:13-14) while our prayer is lead by the Holy Spirit(Romans 8:26). Jesus did teach about Trinity or Three Entities of God during his time. In Matthew 28:19 , Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit work together in unity as One God. One example is time, which one do you think is time? Past, present or future? You can’t choose which one because all of these is Time. What do you think God created in the beginning? He created our universe which made up of time, space and matter. Why time, space and matter? This is His way to tell us how three-in-one works, through nature.
Two Witnesses are ordinary sinners who have become believers and as a result of believes they have also become witnesses of JESUS. You can notice the squence of their positions as sinner, believers and witnesses. First & foremost the Title "Witnesses" was given only to early Apostles in Acts 1:8. But all of these Apostles had become witnesses only by the Reception of the Holy Spirit into them on a Pentecostal day, though they were with JESUS since the beginning of His ministry, seeing what He was speaking & performing miracles but still they didn't become witnesses, only at the Pentecostal day. So the very important criteria to become a Witness of JESUS is to receive the Holy Spirit into the physical body and it's only possible by the Removal of the Parent's Spirit from the physical body, in fact this Parent's Spirit in inherited through sinful and it's unclean and satanic. So, no leading Christian believers ever confessed that they have inherited an unclean Spirit from his Parent's, therefore imagining the Reception of the Holy Spirit into the physical body is never been realised but they believe that they have received the Holy Spirit but it's not a matter of beliefs but it's a phenomenon. Therefore, if anybody received the Holy Spirit into the physical body in these days would eventually become a witness of JESUS, and fit to the descriptions of Revelation 11 & the life example of JESUS. Thus, the witnesses of JESUS is able to claim to exist before 2000 years and fulfill Mark 9:1. Since only these SOME or TWO repented sinners received the Holy Spirit, and that the age of the Holy Spirit is as of now 1988 years and it's eventually applicable to them, therefore they can claim to exist before 2000 years and fulfill Mark 9:1 as of JESUS did in John 8:58. 2ndly, these SOME or TWO might challenge the power of death or weapons since their physical bodies are the Temple of God that can't be destroyed by deadly diseases like cancer or accidents or Covid or even bullets as of JESUS did in John 2:19. As of now these SOME or TWO described in Mark 9:1, Matt 16:28 & Luke 9:27 & Revelation 11 exist in South India, having their roots from Jerusalem and has become ONE AMONG the early Apostles b/c only these Apostles and now these two received the Holy Spirit back then and now respectively entitled to the title as WITNESSES OF JESUS. How do they perform what's described in Revelation 11? Skip Pauley How do these SOME or TWO perform what's described in Rev 11? Rev 11 & the Two Witnesses are the only guys SAVED, and all others are believers. So, once SAVED then it's impossible for any power ot challenge them and such sort of a Salvation only JESUS bought by shedding his blood on the cross, so Salvation is great and that's the secret of the reference sackcloth, and they start testify the LORD JESUS CHRIST by starting where early Apostles left off and accomplish the rest by meeting the Lord in the heaven but it's outlandish to the believers around the world. These TWO are capable of stopping the rain from heaven, how? During the testimony of these two, they are able to stop the rain from heaven, what is it says is that the False Doctrines developed by the believers is showering like a rain from heaven, that would be stopped by the witnesses. Doctrines are portrayed in the Bible as Rain and dews, and would be stopped when a true doctrine of the Bible is testified by these two witnesses in whom only the Holy Spirit indwells. They are to turn the water into blood, how and what it says is that the blood of Jesus was shed on this planet and the purpose is to destroy the works of devil and ultimately death and destruction as in the case of water turned blood killed all the water borne beings in Egypt and the same here happens but only the death and destruction to the works of devil that happens precisely in men. They have a power to fire their assailants, since they're the Temple of God and no power can hurt or destroy anywhere else and that would be terrible challenge to atheists, skeptics and ungodly wicked world of 21st century, and that the physically demonstrate proof of God/Jesus, if anybody fire a bullet then those bullets shall be bounce back and redirected towards the assailants and they shall be killed instantly. The God of the Holy Bible is consuming fire and that would only be known when someone fire at the witnesses objectively. However, there's an exception if anybody fire a bullets when the witnesses are in the city of Jerusalem, their assailants shall be spared and the two witnesses shall be killed and nobody ury b/c of their challenging testimony throughout the world, and after 3 and half days they shall be resurrected and ascend to heaven to meet the Lord and that's when His commandment " Thou Follow me" shall be accomplished and the lord returns back to the Olivet. These all shall be carried out objectively with world now filled with online, tv, twitter, internet etc., So, the point is that the TWO WITNESSES are pretty much exist now in the world, they have interacting with a false believers, leaders for the past 7 or 8 years, they have visited Jerusalem and interacted with Rabbis the way JESUS did and if the world recognizes them then that's all countdown for the climax shall begin with all terror and tension. The believers have made a mess of false doctrines and gone deep in deception by saying the two witnesses were Elijah, Enoch. Moses etc., and all other doctrines of the Holy Bible.
John the Baptist already came to finish the commission that Elijah couldn't complete, and he asked God to let him die 1 Kings 19:14, and God grantedit- in a way but was restored in Matthew 17:1-2; but he already came : Matthew 17:12. John the Baptist was beheaded to complete Elijah's act of beheading all the 450 prophets of baal and 400 prophets of asherah at the brook of Kison. 1 Kings 18:28; 2 Corinthians 5:10. That was why Jesus ignored him and made him to doubt if He was actually the Messiah, despite the fact that he was the one who got Him baptized and witnessed to Him as the Lamb of God, who came to save the world. He doubted: that made him small before God. Abraham BELIEVED the Lord and it was accounted to him for righteousness Galatians 3:6-9; Romans 4:3. Enoch was God's proof of a perfect man, born into a fallen estate, to show that man, even in His fallen estate, can still receive acceptance, contrary to what satan thought, since he can never be forgiven, that is one of the most compelling reasons why satan hates man, and all he does is mutilate and genetically re-engineer the flesh to scorn God. Moses couldn't get into the promised land and fell short of God's grace, he asked God to kill him as well, out of the frustration of doing the work of the Spirit, in the flesh, like Elijah Numbers 11:14-15, God honored his request as well, but God preserved his body because he had been in close contact with God and His glory. He and Elijah were restored to glory on the mount of transfiguration, where they witnessed God's answer for the redemption of the fallen man, who they both became frustrated with, and thought they were beyond salvation. Matthew 17:1-2. The same way He revealed Jesus to Daniel, because he couldn't understand, no matter how much of the prophesies he received, so he was made to shut the book Daniel 12:4, until all the prophecies were fulfilled and He saw the risen savior in tue book of Revelation (which I believewas written also by Him as he was told to rest till the time of the end, when all prophecies would have been fulfilled, and he would then understand what he wasn't able to at that time. The prophesies in the book of Revelationhad their root in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, and the Apostle John wasn't privy to that. Unless of course, he was there to confirm- as a witness, all what was revealed to Daniel. The scriptures had nothing to show as a background for him being the writer of the book of Revelation. The whole scenario also is similar to that in the book of Daniel- the angels, the island etc. ; just like how Jesus Christ was eventually revealed to the Apostle Paul- His last desciple, in Acts 9, to fulfill his mission for which he was called in Luke 18:18-22. No other person received Jesus's call. God never leaves anything unfinished. Jesus couldn't be killed until He finished the whole work of salvation that God began when He got up from His 7 day sabbatical rest, from the work of salvation, until the cross John 5:17, 19:30, until He returns for the redemption of His purchased possession Ephesians 1:14, for which cause He sent His Holy Spirit to keep and teach and energize everyone that puts their trust in Him till the end Romans John 14:26; 8:9, 14, Who is the One holding off that man of sin, until all the sheep in the fold are ready and complete- No Holy Spirit (with evidence of speaking in tongues, no God, no redemption, no salvation, no Jesus, no matter who you are) Mark 16:16-18. Jesus's death burial and resurrection- for both those who believed before and after His life on earth, can only be believed without a proof. Believe without seeing, which is the bedrock of the Christian faith Matthew16:16- Peter's confession of Jesus being the Christ. His profession was declared even though he never witnessed the heavens open and the Father declared Jesus Christ as His only Begotten Son, at baptism. His brother, Andrew was the one that told him they had found the Messiah, John 1:41, and Peter simply believed- like Abraham, the father of faith, and it was imputed to him as righteousness. Believe without seeing! Hebrews 11:6- WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD...
Ok, to the people who say that Pastor Doug started out talking about the 2 witness but went off on a different topic about the 10C's. Did you guys not listen to the video??. First off, this is a small piece taken from a Prophecy Seminar called "The Prophecy Code", which is an hour or longer, it is cut very short because the program only airs 20 mins at a time of the actual study.. Hes going into a full study on the topic and he starts off with making his case of one of the witness' being the law. So, hes building the case for why the law is still true today, so that no one can discredit the teaching by simply saying the law was done away with... By the way, what was taken away was the penalty of the law... not the law itself. The fact that so many of you cant figure this out amazes me.
I have had encounters with people who will agree with me that we should not kill or commit adultery and that we should honor our parents and they agree. But as soon as I say "the seventh day is the Sabbath" suddenly they say "you're under the law, I'm under grace."
they're right, you are under the law. Galatians 3
Wherefore the law was our Schoolmaster to bring us to Christ that we might be justified by faith but after that faith has come we are no longer under a Schoolmaster(law)
Even baby Christians under we are under grace and are justified by faith not the law. Plus it was given to Jews, the church didn't exist till after the cross.
Jesus is our rest
Hebrews 4:11
Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief
@@jessy4464 They are wrong, just as much as you are..
The grace of God enables individual to obey God's commandments, not violate them.
I’m glad that Jesus loves me, because I know not much else that’s certain
Who ever you are You picked the wrong guy on a wrong night
The subject is about the two witnesses but he's more talking about Law and sabbath
excellent description of ten commandments but not the two wittnesses
In the LDS church what does hie to Kolob mean?
I always thought based on past lessons, it was the old and new testaments. They tried to get rid of the Holy Bible. However, God preserved His Holy word, and It resurfaced.
It’s really simple. During the Great Tribulation, God’s Ten Commandments will measure our actions. The Holy Spirit will see our motives. Together, they will report to Jesus and He will pass judgment on each person.
This pastor is like a Jewish rabbi
If you chose to view this video in hopes of discovering the answer to the question, "Who are the two witnessed?", you will be disappointed.The honest and faithful brother teaching here, does NOT know that answer to this question. But, instead, gives a good lesson on other topics. I won't go further with why he is not honest about not knowing and simply states that God has not yet opened this part of Revelation to those seeking the answer.
Royalty and Priesthood.
Joseph, the husband of Mary, was both of the seed of David Matthew 1:1, 16, and Luke 3:23-24, and of Levi.
Elizabeth, of the daughters of Aaron, is the cousin of Mary, Luke 1:36,5. Mary, the mother of John, Matthew 27:56. They are all of the Aaronic Priesthood lineage.
So, the Apostle John is of the Aaronic Priesthood lineage as well.
Daniel was one of the Princes- descendants of King David, taken to Babylon. They both meet the criteria for the Candlestick and Lampstand prophecy, as the two witnesses of God, they Anointed Ones standing before the presence of God.
I'm glad you think so ! :D
wow Amazing Mission! You used a title that gets attention yet you talk about something completely aside from the main topic! Could it be you have no idea and improvised? Hum. For one thing you are gaining off of people for your own gain and making it look like you are doing it for people! Proof is the way you set it up to claim one thing and do another. Think, think, think. You are not the last say in this or that and frankly take that mirror and look deeper into it for a lot longer in private!
Wait... He "removes" the beast's mark? No! All who take the Mark follow the beast.
Your right and Brother Robert breaker explains who the 2 witnesses and the mark pretty good.
The two witnesses are the old and new testaments.
no its not. every thing isn't all symbols. the old and new testament wasn't killed in the street. It is literally two people. Re read Revelation chapter 11 as it is.
God literally said he will give power to my witnesses and they shall prophesy. and they 2 will be killed and their dead bodies will literally be in the street and God spirit will literally enter them and they will literally stand.
In Genesis, God made the heavens and earth. was that all symbols or literall.
You cant pick a scripture and say oooooh ummm it's a symbol ! and that's that's.
Good teaching however what happened to the witness laying out for 3 days?
Read the whole chapter of revelation 11 and take it as it is. Not everything is in symbols. Doug is a false teacher leading people astray .
The two witnesses are literally two people to prophets who ended up dead and God Spirit entered them and they stood up..this has nothing to do with France and if so the scripture would say France.
The two witnesses are the same as the two olive trees and the two candlesticks. The angel explains this to John in Rev. 11:4. The northern and southern kingdoms of Israel are the two olive trees, the two candlesticks and the two witnesses.
Can the 2 witness be America & Israel?

Apocalypse of Elijah 4:7-14 (Apocryphal Old Testament)
"Then when Elijah and Enoch hear that the shameless one has revealed himself in the holy place, they will come down and fight with him saying,
Are you indeed not ashamed? When you attach yourself to the saints, because you are always estranged.
You have been hostile to those who belong to heaven. You have acted against those belonging to the earth.
You have been hostile to the thrones. You have acted against the angels. You are always a stranger.
You have fallen from heaven like the morning stars. You were changed, and your tribe became dark for you.
But you are not ashamed, when you stand firmly against God you are a devil.
The shameless one will hear and he will be angry, and he will fight with them in the market place of the great city. And he will spend seven days fighting with them.
And they will spend three and one half days in the market place dead, while all the people see them,
But on the fourth day they will rise up and they will scold him saying. "O shameless one, O son of lawlessness. Are you indeed not ashamed of yourself since you are leading astray the people of God for whom you did not suffer? Do you not know that we live in the Lord?"

To whom can I speak and give warning?
Who will listen to me?
Their ears are closed a so they cannot hear.
The word of the Lord is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it.
But I am full of the wrath of the Lord, and I cannot hold it in.
“Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together; both husband and wife will be caught in it, and the old, those weighed down with years.
Their houses will be turned over to others, together with their fields and their wives, when I stretch out my hand against those who live in the land,” declares the Lord.
“From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit.
They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.
Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them,”

And in force the stoning by death if any one violates the law
If u have to keep the Law u also have to keep the law of moses
It's not something that is kept. It is you for you ate a law unto yourself, as it is written on your tablets of flesh, that is the heart. God bless you
If you want an answer from the Bible, never leave the job to a seventh day adventist.
The two witnesses are Moses and Elijah.
If you don’t agree it’s because you don’t know how to read.
Good Evening..Did the Pastor say the two witnesses' are, The Law and the Prophets?
Yes
@@michaelledden1992 Well..I don't see how the two witnesses could be the Law and the prophets. that doesn't make much sense. The laws of God are the 10 Commandments.
Is He saying God's Law were killed and was risen up to Heaven?..
These Men were indeed Prophets' But they were not All of the Prophets.
The Bible clearly explains that these 'Two; Witnesses are 'Two' Men.
I more agreement these two Men were JESUS, And John the Baptist.
@@valeriewilliams410 yes I know that it says they die meaning the word of God will to the world not to individuals just like during reformation the Bible was outlawed
Read Malachi 4:4-5 Moses represent law Elijah the prophets Isaiah 8: 20 to the law and the prophets
@@michaelledden1992 Moses was given the Law (The 10 Commandments) by God,,The 10 Commandments are not Moses Commanments. They are God,s Commandments given to Moses by God to give to the people so that they know how to follow and observe God's Laws..
This topic is not easy to understand unless one actually STUDIES in the Bible. I've read much conjecture here on this issue on who or what the "two witnesses" are but did you know that the Bible DOES answer who the witnesses are and is not based from "man's understanding?" See the following UA-cam video entitled, "Kenneth Cox 01 The Two Witnesses." He (Kenneth) actually starts talking about Revelation 11 at the 5:30 mark in the video.
I proclaim to still be an Adventist but, we definitely have this wrong... the two witnesses are Enoch and Elijah..... as proclaimed in Revelations 11, the two witness are in heaven. We already know that Mal 4, mentions that Elijah will come to teach before the coming of the Lord. (John the Baptist only came in the spirit of Elijah)... Enoch will be with him as the second witness, they will be slain after a period and resurrected. it's Enoch and Elijah folks. Josephus writings and the early church all attest to that fact....(though, they may differ on the how.) In Acts 1, the apostles thought Jesus was going to sit on the throne, but he told them its not the season,.... which means upon his second coming, Elijah must present himself to prepare the way of the Lord. Enoch will teach... It is appointed for man once to die and then the judgement. (Heb 9:27) Enoch and Elijah must taste death for the word of God to be fulfilled.. Peace and Blessings. See you in the kingdom .. be vigilant.
They can shut heaven?
you seem to be smart. If I was you, I would leave that cult and find a real bible believing church. Doug is a wolf leading sheep. if he can Revelation 11 wrong, what else is he getting wrong? I dont feel at ease when he preach, it's the Holy spirit in me. I read my bible and take it literally, you cant pick and choose what scripture you want to be symbols.

But they do have the sabbath right. And so do the Jews. Lol.
Elijah was disappointed with God for not dealing with Jezebel, and he, had to single-handedly kill all the 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah.
He fled from the threats of Jezebel, forgetting how God had been keeping him thus far.
The fearful Shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven Revelation 21:8, that was one of the reasons why he couldn't die at the time.
God proved Himself to him, by sending a bird of prey, to be the very one which brought him meat twice a day. And just like He did to Jonah, the brook dried up, and he was on his way to the second mission: to give hope to a hopeless wife of a deceased prophet of God. He was a proof to the widow of Zarephath that God hadn't forgotten Israel despite their rebellion and idolatry, and God seemingly permitting Jezebel to replace His priests with false prophets, wreaking havoc in the land.
1 kings 17:12 she referred to God as "...As the Lord THY God liveth...", not making God personal to her, because she had reached the end of her faith...but God just added another extension! She was harboring a sort of guilt that had been consuming her, and believed that she didn't deserve the miracle of provision and preservation by God, and which got her son killed verse 18.
Elijah also blamed God, because he wasn't really expecting much from God as well, at that period of time verse 20.
Unconsciously, they both exhibited rare faith in God- the woman, by going to Elijah, seemingly to invoke the power of His God that had proven Himself by providing them sustenance throughout the drought, and Elijah, by carrying the supposedly dead child to lay his own bed, and cried to God, by letting God know that evil shouldn't be used to repay good. Still, in bitterness of heart, He cried out again to the Lord, this time, asking for specific miracle, believing that He would be heard. verses 22-24.
He now had sufficient faith to finally meet Ahab, from whom he had been hiding.
He found out that while he was fleeing, God had been using others, like Obadiah, to hide the prophets of God, while feeding them from the king's very supplies, during the drought.
This bolstered his courage and was rewarded by God making His presence and power known on mount Carmel, and the subsequent abundance of rainfall 18:1-39.
Unfortunately, he may have been too bold, to think that the people were hailing him, instead of praising God verse 39 "Elijah, Elijah", but " The Lord is God, the Lord is God".
Thus began his downward spiral- God will never share His glory with anyone!
He decided to kill all the false prophets verse 30, without asking God (like Moses and David).
God made His presence known to all Israel, but he failed to bring them back to fellowship with Him, as His people. Thus, he began to flee again, incurred the wrath of God. He had to cut short his commission, and got Elisha to do the tasks resulting from his failure and zeal without knowledge.
God put some new plans in motion: to anoint Hazael, a heathen king of Syria; Jesus to take over from Ahab, and destroy his whole reign, including Jezebel chapters 19-22.
(That's why John the Baptist had to begin from where he left off, Malachi 4).
I want to comment, not to criticize. With all due respect to Pastor Doug, but I spoke to you on a live call in radio show this Sunday night, Oct. 5th, 2014 on WMCA AM. I brought up the topic of the 2 witnesses of Revelation 11:10 to Doug and asked him if he had ever considered that passage referred to the 2 witnesses being murdered during the week of Christmas. Doug hesitated and asked me what I meant. I told him that Rev. 11:10 read very cryptically as to the time of the year when the 2 witnesses would likely be killed. How is that, Doug asked. I recited the verse from the KJV: "...AND THEY THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH SHALL REJOICE, MAKE MERRY & SEND GIFTS ONE TO ANOTHER...."
I stated to Doug that the disciple John, who wrote Revelation, appeared to be describing not just the circumstance surrounding the murders of the 2 witnesses but also the exact season or time of the year when their murders would occur, as if God intended for John's words to act as a cryptic hint, providing us with a clue when these event would occur.
Doug said he had never thought about it before, prior to my brining it to his attention but then somehow linked Rev. 11:10 to the French Revolution and atheism for no clear cut reason and from that point onward, ignored my original suggestion that the way John phrased his words, REJOICED, MAKE MERRY AND SENT GIFTS ONE TO ANOTHER...signified the 2 witnesses would be killed just before Christmas.
As you can see in this You Tube video, Doug begins to speak about the 2 witnesses with the implication they might turn out to be Moses and Elijah but then ignores the subject altogether for the rest of the video, instead talking about legalism and the law of Moses, with no further mention of the 2 witnesses. Why was Doug not abled to stay focused on the topic of the 2 witnesses when his You Tube video was in fact entitled, The Two Witnesses?
On the radio show on Oct. 5th, 2014, Doug did not give me a chance to make a follow-up comment or ask another question and told radio listeners they could order his booklet about the Two Witnesses. I had intended to discuss with Doug the possibility that one of the 2 witnesses might indeed be John, the disciple. Why John?
In the chapter before Rev. 11:10, in Rev. 10:11, an angel of the Lord tells John that he must prophesy again to many peoples, nations, tongues and kings.
And yet John was an old man when he wrote Revelation and as far as the history of the Christian church is concerned, John never left the island of Patmos a free man and apparently died there, still a prisoner of the Roman Empire. But if you look at John 21:22, Jesus asked Peter what did it matter to him if Jesus wanted John to be alive on Earth at Christ's Second Coming. Jesus asked this of Peter because Peter told Jesus there were rumors among the disciples that Jesus said John would not die until Jesus returned to Earth from Heaven.
Are we to assume that it is impossible for God to return a soul who once lived on Earth as a man (John) to the Earth again to live a second life twenty-one centuries after his death if his rebirth on Earth is to fulfill a mission by God? Many Bible teachers flirt with teaching about the 2 witnesses because they just do not know all the facts concerning the identity of these two people. One could well turn out to be a woman for all we know but that remains to be seen. It may well turn out to be John and another man, perhaps an Old Testament prophet like Isaiah. I believe anyone who honestly has the word of God and speaks the things God tells them to speak would indeed be viewed by God as being representative of golden lampstands.
To assume that the 2 witnesses will be Moses and Elijah simply because they may have been previously referred to as the two golden lampstands is not enough evidence to warrant our belief they will be the 2 witnesses. They may be but maybe not.
Why, in Rev. 10:11, would the angel tell John he would prophesy again in the future to many in the world when he himself was physically trapped on Patmos? It appears to me the angel had given John a prophecy about his future in a futuristic time setting so far into the future that even John could not fathom or comprehend the sum total of the angel's words. Interestingly, in Rev. 11:3, God declares that He will appoint His two witnesses and then it goes on to describe the mission of these two witnesses. But in Rev. 11:10, they are murdered by the beast...
AND THEY THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH REJOICED, MADE MERRY AND SENT GIFTS ONE TO ANOTHER....
Therefore, if these two witnesses are indeed murdered during the Christmas time of any given year, we must count backward 3 and 1/2 years to zero in on the time of the year when their mission would likely begin, probably around the month of June. When droughts usually begin and the 2 witnesses' ability to cause droughts as a judgment against unrepentant mankind will be one of the signs that these two witnesses indeed have the testimony of God in their mouths.
If many pastors like Doug have been blindsided to these implications, then we have to ask, are they teaching error, as good as their intentions may be? Because men like Doug have the title of Pastor and have theological degrees from a seminary school does not mean they know it all. After all, even the religious Jews of Herod's Temple were blind to Jesus' identity and misunderstood the prophecies concerning him, as learned in the Old Testament as they were.
And I agree with other comments here: the two witnesses are not the Old and New Testament. They will be human beings who have been born into this world just as Jesus was, minus the virgin birth aspect. They will be born into this world just as the prophets and disciples were. There will come a point in time when these two people will begin to preach we must repent and that we are in the last days and that salvation can only be found in Jesus Christ but they will also prove to the world their mission is appointed to them by God by being able to shut the skies from raining, causing droughts and famines as judgments.
Whoever tries to kill the 2 witnesses will be killed themselves by FIRE and not by any other manner, as previously suggested by some Bible teachers who have misunderstood that prophecy. The enemies of the 2 witnesses who try to kill them will be destroyed by fire, not by guns, poison or knives but by fire and fire alone. This will signify God's guiding hand upon the 2 witnesses as a sign to those who might believe and understand the scriptures. Stick with the original KJV as it is the purest translation of the Bible in it's original wording, which has basically remained unchanged for 400 years or so.
Let us remember this as well: the 2 witnesses may not actually work as a team but independently of one another. That remains to be seen. They may work as a duo or they may work singularly. Something to bear in mind because if they work independent of each other, at first they will be harder to identify as being the 2 witnesses, until their preaching is followed by droughts and other things mentioned in Revelation 11 and not mentioned...
Nyshroud. com. Ellen White did not know understand that either so he can't know nor make the connection of given gifts and making merry.
Nyshroud. Awesome expression in words. I'm not sure about the answer of who they are and frankly I don't wonder about it much. I'm deep in the word and blown away by the Melchizedek priesthood revelations at Torah To The Tribes. Today is day 14 counting the omer. To celebrate holy days and not drunken holidays is the way our creator tells us to walk. Amien and Amien brother. Shabbat Shalom. P.S. I'm not sure about a teacher who avoids your questions and or one who has all the answers. Torah To The Tribes has a saying. Don't join a denomination, join a priesthood. Would love to chat the good news. How amazing is our Abba?
nyshroud.com response to you below. Shalom
nyshroud.com -- I admit tis a curious thing claiming we are to be killed during the time of Christmas. Acknowledging that it may be likely June when we do begin. However, the world's people will rejoyce our deaths... So... Though our end could be in the month of December... It will not be an inclusion of Christmas.
I can agree with you that our Brother Batchelor does NOT answer the question, Who are the two witnesses. My thought is, he does NOT know. The texts in Revelation give so many statements to help describe who they are that no one has yet given a clear and unambiguous explanation. I too, have done a great deal of study in Revelation. Any one studying John's wonderful prophetic message must remember that he wrote as he was directed to write the visions he was given. He clearly states at the very beginning that his visions were given to him by Jesus Christ, himself. Christ knowing that men would attempt to destroy the true meaning of his visions, he cleverly encoded some of his information to foil any attempts to change or destroy his prophecies. This is one of those encoded parts. I have not been able to find a sound, working explanation yet. Time will be our friend, because Christ assured us, that we would understand when it was time to use this knowledge.
We now have a spiritual sabbath it's Yeshua
Sabbath is from friday sundown to saturday sundown
thank you, Jesus is that rest. I don't follow man teachings and traditions.
Hebrews 4
Let us Labour therefore to enter into that rest lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief
Two Olive Trees-
a) Joshua the High Priest -Israel - Levitical Priesthood
b) The Apostle John -The Church (Jesus and members of His body).
The two Candlesticks- Royalty- David (Jeremiah 30:9).
a) Zerubbabel
b) Daniel
The books of Zechariah and Daniel were not concluded...
Olive Tree- Priesthood Anointing (Produces Oil, Religious)
Candlesticks, (Uses Oil) or Lamp- Royalty (Political, Royalty)
1 Kings 15:4
Joshua, the high priest (Religious), from the tribe of Levi, descendant of Kohath and Zadok- 1 Chronicles 6:12-15; End-time Ministers of God: Ezekiel 44:15-16...Zechariah 3:1; Jeremiah 33:21; Revelation 11:4; Numbers 25-7-13
Zerubbabel, the governor (not king, though the descendant of king David, but the promises to David will be fulfilled in the end, to always have a Seed in the throne. 2:Samuel 7:16; Jeremiah 30:9), the last seed of David, born in babylonian captivity, Ezra:3:2; Matthew1:12; 1 Chronicles 3:17; Nehemiah12:1; Hagai 12:1; 1 Chronicles3:17-19; (Political) Zechariah 4; given power over the religious and political powers during the tribulation to show the supremacy of God in heaven and in the earth, thus no physical power can hurt them, they are the anointed of God, for the end time!. Zechariah chapters 3 and 4. They signifed the end of law and the beginning of the promise of coming grace, through faith, in the coming Messiah, and also heralded the advent of the Messiah, Zechariah 14, and the conclusion of the world system, and the establishment of the Millennium reign and the final judgment, and the new heaven and earth- Isaiah 65, Revelation chapters 19-21; Isaiah 66:24; Lastly- the rewards Revelation 22.
The Lord never leaves any thing hanging. The two books of Ezra and Nehemiah were the only ones not concluded, as the 70th week year will continue from where they stopped and the book was shut in Daniel 12:4. God always performs and perfects His purposes and promises. He is Faithful and True, He has exalted His word above all His name, so none of His word will go back to Him void! He is God All by Himself, as some would say! All glory and praises to His Holy name! Amen!
Galatians 4:29-30! It's always been like this right from the beginning, right from the garden, then Genesis chapters 6,14:17-24; 21:9-10- Jacob and Esau; Pharez and Zerah; Pharaoh/Moses; David/Absalom; Jezebel, Athaliah, Haman, Herod, Hitler, Antichrist/false prophet.
This has to play out till the end for all to know, without a shadow of doubt, that God rules in the midst of the heathen, the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell in them, and that He is Lord of all!The millennium is the end of the cycle of the end of sin.
Man had a thousand years curse the day Adam and Eve disobeyed God.
A day is like a thousand years.
The oldest man was Methuselah, he lived 969 years, and the last Adam lived 30 years as the Son of man, a human- Jesus Christ, then He was filled with the Holy Spirit, to become the Son of God 100%God and 100% man, just like the first Adam, who was created flesh and God breathed into his nostrils, to have 100% God in 100% man.
Thus, when the mystery of iniquity is dealt with, after the 70th week year of Israel, then the whole world will be destroyed at the second coming of Jesus Christ. This will usher in the kingdom of God, for which Jesus Christ came to preach to Israel, before the gospel of grace- for both Israel and the gentiles, because they rejected their King. The scriptures are going back in cycles, we're now in Genesis 6, 11 and 47.It is like going back to the garden of Eden Isaiah 65; Genesis 5, when man will have to live out the whole 1000 years curse, which ends the wages of sin- death, which ends the cycle of creation, until the new heavens and the new earth is established, where there's no more sin and death. Then the judgment and rewards, abd the institution of mandatory pilgrimage to the New Jerusalem, and then, the Sabbath will be observed, signifying the end of work of both Creation and Redemption of the lost soul of man. Isaiah 66.
Every nation will worship God, because there will no longer be evil or Satan present. All have been judged and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone- including death, hell, satan, the antichrist and his false prophets and those that bare his mark.
The world will be as God in tended it right from the beginning, after the old earth and the heavens are completely destroyed by fire.
2 Peter 2:10-13;
Isaiah 65:17; 66:,15-16, 22; 30:30;9:5
1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Thessalonians 2:8; Joel 2:10;; Nahum 1:5; Zephaniah 1:15-28; 3:8: Ezekiel 32:7-9; Revelation 20:1; Revelation 20:9-11, etc.
A book or a group of people don't have individual powers to shut up the heavens. But we will see.
that's right, you have to read Revelation chapter 11 and take it literally. this chapter has nothing to do with France and it's not a symbol, people really need to take God's words literally or they'll be lost. France is not used in Revelation one time.
Doug is a false teacher
God was to deliver Israel after 400 years, but Moses acted without God's approval 10 years earlier than expected, and though the people didn't know, it added 40 extra years; Israel was in captivity for 70 years, at 69 years Daniel prayed to remind God, (no one knew), but because the people were still not ready, they couldn't be restored into the promised land without further punishment, thus, God saw it fit to give a hiatus, to bring in the Messiah, through whom they can be covered and get back into the earthly kingdom, if they were willing to accept Him as Messiah, King and royal Priest, but they killed Him instead. So the last 7 years would be that of God's vengeance for the world, after which the Messiah, as the Head of the body- the Church, will return to rescue the remnants of Israel, and the rest judged during the armageddon war.
God personally forgive Israel, put His fear and love in their hearts, and making them all know Him.
The dead are resurrected, judged and rewarded, or punished.
Thus, the return of Jesus to take up all Believers in rapture could definitely occur according to the various predictions, but God in His infinite mercy could be holding back, to see maybe, some would decide to leave their pernicious ways and be converted and be saved- you see, it doesn't please God for sinners to die.
Many people do actually love the Lord, but they're not in His fold. Many are still in bondage under mega churches doctrines, thinking they're in "the Way," but not.
The Lord is waiting for the scales to fall off their eyes because they're blinded by religion.
"Come out of them, touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you."
The "Acceptable Year of the Lord " is still in force, but it's quickly ending to give way to "The Day of Vengeance of our God."""
God is not willing for anyone to perish, so rapture is being delayed, maybe for a day, week, month, year, decade, etc. He alone knows, all we need to do is be prepared and get ready - or not!
Some are praying for the salvation of the soul of the world, and they don't know!
Moses came, but it didn't seem like he could get them out, until the due date, when they had to hurriedly prepare, eat their bread unleavened, with bitter herbs, and set out from the land of their captivity when they least expect.
Jesus Christ will appear when we least expect, so we must always be prepared, watch, and pray, so we don't miss that moment as "the twinkling of the eye.""" No time for do-over!
So thank God for all who are predicting His return, even though He seems not to be returning as predicted, still "be prepared " because it will definitely be too late by the time we actually realize that it's absolutely too late!
Israel was baptized unto Moses, by crossing the Red sea, and by being under the cloud covering, until Moses decided to replace the cloud covering with the physical ark, which signified the presence of God, as he, in utter disobedience and unbelief, was too eager to show his father-in-law, his position of leadership and authority (far from the fugitive who had married his daughter)- Numbers 9:15-23; Exodus 40:34-38; Numbers 10:28-36). Then the spirit of murmuring entered the camp and there was no mention of the cloud covering from then on, and Moses made more mistakes upon mistakes until the whole congregation were destroyed in the wilderness, except for Joshua and Caleb and the young generations.
1 Corinthians 10:1-2.
Believers are baptized into Christ, by the Holy Spirit, through the faith of the Believer in Christ. Galatians 3:24-29; Romans 6:2-10; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, all are talking about baptism by faith, not water.
Whosoever puts their faith and trust in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, is already circumcised and baptized into Him by the very circumcision and baptism of Jesus Christ.
He already perfected everything that pertains to life and godliness for all Believers until He returns as promised to redeem His purchased possession and present them faultless before the presence of God the Father, in heavenly places!
Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians chapters 1-5; Colossians chapters 1-4 etc.
Elijah didn't complete his mission to restore Israel to God. He single handedly killed 850 priests of Baal and Asherah. He fled from the threat of Jezebel - a queen and a princess 1 Kings 16:31, and asked God to kill him (but no one under God's mission or promises can ever die). He was taken up in a whirlwind, as the horses and chariot of fire parted both Elisha and himself. 2 Kings 2 8-14. Elijah returned to complete his mission to reconcile Israel back to faith in God, as John the Baptist, who came in the spirit of Elijah Luke 1:17. John was also threatened and killed by a queen and a princess, Matthew 14:3-12. He couldn't understand why Jesus Christ, being the Messiah and his cousin, wouldn't get him out of the prison, and doubted if He was really the expected Messiah, for whom he was sent to prepare His way. Matthew 11:2-14.
The only person noted specifically in the scriptures that didn't die, was Enoch. There are also many others who were not mentioned to have died- Ezra, Nehemiah, Paul, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos etc. Jonah sort of died and was restored, Daniel slept and was called up to complete his prophecy Daniel 12:13; Revelation 4:1 etc.
John the Baptist already came to finish the commission that Elijah couldn't complete, and he asked God to let him die 1 Kings 19:14, and God grantedit- in a way but was restored in Matthew 17:1-2; but he already came : Matthew 17:12. John the Baptist was beheaded to complete Elijah's act of beheading all the 450 prophets of baal and 400 prophets of asherah at the brook of Kison. 1 Kings 18:28; 2 Corinthians 5:10.
That was why Jesus ignored him and made him to doubt if He was actually the Messiah, despite the fact that he was the one who got Him baptized and witnessed to Him as the Lamb of God, who came to save the world. He doubted: that made him small before God. Abraham BELIEVED the Lord, and it was accounted to him for righteousness Galatians 3:6-9; Romans 4:3.
Enoch was God's proof of a perfect man, born into a fallen estate, to show that man, even in His fallen estate, can still receive acceptance, contrary to what satan thought, since he can never be forgiven, that is one of the most compelling reasons why satan hates man, and all he does is mutilate and genetically re-engineer the flesh to scorn God.
Moses couldn't get into the promised land and fell short of God's grace, he asked God to kill him as well, out of the frustration of doing the work of the Spirit, in the flesh, like Elijah Numbers 11:14-15, God honored his request as well, but God preserved his body because he had been in close contact with God and His glory. He and Elijah were restored to glory on the mount of transfiguration, where they witnessed God's answer for the redemption of the fallen man, who they both became frustrated with, and thought they were beyond salvation. Matthew 17:1-2. The same way He revealed Jesus to Daniel, because he couldn't understand, no matter how much of the prophesies he received, so he was made to shut the book Daniel 12:4, until all the prophecies were fulfilled and He saw the risen savior in the book of Revelation (which I believe was written also by both Him (for Israel), and John (for the Church), as he was told to rest till the time of the end, when all prophecies would have been fulfilled, and he would then understand what he wasn't able to at that time. The prophesies in the book of Revelation had their root in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, and the Apostle John wasn't privy to that. Unless, of course, he was there to confirm it- as a witness (out of the mouth of two or three witnesses, a matter is established), all that which had been hidden was now revealed to Daniel for his understanding. The scriptures had nothing to show as a background for John being the writer of the book of Revelation, though. The whole scenario is also similar to that in the book of Daniel - the angels, the island, etc. ; just like how Jesus Christ was eventually revealed to the Apostle Paul - His last desciple, in Acts 9, to fulfill his deferred mission for which he was called in Luke 18:18-22. No other person received Jesus's call after this.
God never leaves anything unfinished. Jesus couldn't be killed until He finished the whole work of salvation that God began when He got up from His 7 day sabbatical rest, from the work of salvation, until the cross John 5:17, 19:30, until He returns for the redemption of His purchased possession Ephesians 1:14; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-58, for which cause He sent His Holy Spirit to keep and teach and energize everyone that puts their trust in Him till the end John 20:22; Romans 8:9, 14; John 14:26. Who is the One holding off that man of sin, until all the sheep in the fold are ready and complete to be taken up and out in order to be presened faultless before the presence of God the Father, with exceeding joy! No Holy Spirit (with evidence of speaking in tongues, no God, no redemption, no salvation, no Jesus, no matter who you are) Mark 16:16-18.
Jesus's death burial and resurrection - for both those who believed before and after His life on earth, can only be believed without proof, but simply by faith- believing without seeing, which is the bedrock of the Christian faith Matthew16:16- Peter's confession of Jesus being the Christ. His profession was declared by believing his brother, Andrew's account that they have seen the Messiah, even though he never personally witnessed the heavens open during Jesus's baptism, and the Father declared Jesus Christ as His only Begotten Son. John 1:41, and Peter simply believed - like Abraham, the father of faith - and it was imputed to him as righteousness. Believe without seeing! Hebrews 11:6- WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD...
The reason the world will not permit the two witnesses to be buried.
The reason they're not allowed to be buried, is so that they can watch and see how, and if God will raise them up like He did Jesus, but no one witnessed this, and they reported that the Apostles had stolen His body and claimed that He was risen from the dead. So, the whole world rejoiced because they had believed that they had finally overcome the so called people of God, and they now have the power over God, since they have been rebelling against Him from the beginning of creation. But they will be gravely mistaken, as they have always been, since the world began! They will have a rude awakening, when their destruction comes upon them unexpectedly after they see them ascend up to heaven! They will try to hide from the eye staring at them from the sky, and they will ask the mountains to cover them, but the mountains will suddenly grow legs and run away from them Psalm 114:5; Revelation 14:16: 16:20! Weird stuff will be happening in the world at this time! 100 lb hail mixed with fire will fall on them, and that's all before the real judgment! No wonder it's called the "Wrath of God", the cup of trembling etc.
Now is the time to choose or change sides! Whose side are you going to be? Like Phineas, please choose the Lord's side!
What about the two witnesses
This is actually not the full video..the full video is like 1 hour long
Elijah's mission was to bring Israel back to God, the Son, back to the Father, but didn't complete his mission, but instead, asked God to kill him.1 Kings 19. God's word must be fulfilled, so, he was temporarily taken up, and his mission was completed by John, who came baptizing Israel, reminiscent of their crossing the sea, and returning to the promised land. Thus, water baptism is only for the Jews, Believers in Christ are infilled or baptized into the death of Jesus Christ Romans 6:3-11, and into His body of Christ at His coming Galatians 3:27. Matthew 3:11, fire for unbelievers.
Thus, only Israel has to repent, turn and be converted from rebellion into obedience to the will of God.
I thought this video is about the two witnesses? why is it almost all about the Sabbath again?.... so much redundancy may trace desperation and insecurity too, you know....brothers... peace to you all though....
It needs to be re taught. Until we get it.
Because it’s the commandment forgotten
As usual they talk about the law and the sabbath and not the subject! Big surprise!
Did you not listen to the video??. First off, this is a small piece taken from a Prophecy Seminar called "The Prophecy Code", which is an hour or longer, it is cut very short because the program only airs 20 mins at a time of the actual study.. Hes going into a full study on the topic and he starts off with making his case of one of the witness' being the law. So, hes building the case for why the law is still true today, so that no one can discredit the teaching by simply saying the law was done away with... By the way, what was taken away was the penalty of the law... not the law itself. It amazes me that you clearly didnt listen, he lays this out in the beginning of the video.
He starts by talking about Moses AND Elijah. 1+1=2 human witnesses. Then he goes into study about what they witnessed. Listen and understand.
resurrection witnesses are two witnesses
Moses didn't escape death but corruption. Since dust is the meat of the serpent, he can only feed on dead men who become corrupted and return to dust. ( That's why David asked God not to let him see corruption, Psalm 16:10).
Elijah was taken to heaven but both Moses and himself couldn't die because they didn't finish their commission, and were given opportunity to be restored back glory on the mount of transfiguration, after Elijah had already paid for killing all the 850 prophets of baal and asherah, with His head. 2 Corinthians 5:10. He paid by also getting killed by the queen princess, reminiscent of Jezebel - a queen and a princess, from whom he fled after the mount Carmel experience.
Many people didn't die in the Bible, and many are still alive from their time till today. Simeon, Anna- Luke 2:25-27, kept by the power of the Holy Spirit, even before He descended on Jesus Christ at His baptism. Luke 9:27; John 11:25-26; 8:51.
We don't know how or where, but God is keeping them all until the rapture, according to His word.
He is Faithful and True to perform all His promises. If you can simply believe!
witness is the same as testament..
two witnesses = two testament
the old and the new testaments... it pretty simple when you look at it without making it a complexed issue!
'Angelus 'A ... What about the part where they are killed, after 42 months/3.5 years, & the world watches as their bodies ly in the streets for 3 days?...Or, am I misinformed here?
'Angelus 'A -- Since this will be the only time like this and since you claim we are the old and new testament... Why is there not 3 witnesses...because there will be a third testament or more.
In Revelations chapter 1 verse 20 the angel tells you what the Stars the Seven stars are there angels and he also tells you what the two candlesticks are are the Church the true church and that is for the Jews and the Gentiles there's two and the two olive trees it is not just two individuals it is God's true church the Gentiles and the Jews
Zec 11:3,11,12 Rom 11,17,24
Jam 3:12
Olive Tree- Priesthood Anointing (Produces Oil, Religious)

1 Kings 15:4
Joshua, the high priest (Religious), from the tribe of Levi, descendant of Kohath and Zadok- 1 Chronicles 6:12-15; End-time Ministers of God: Ezekiel 44:15-16...Zechariah 3:1; Jeremiah 33:21; Revelation 11:4; Numbers 25-7-13
Zerubbabel, the governor (not king, though the descendant of king David, but the promises to David will be fulfilled in the end, to always have a Seed in the throne. 2:Samuel 7:16; Jeremiah 30:9), the last seed of David, born in babylonian captivity, Ezra:3:2; Matthew1:12; 1 Chronicles 3:17; Nehemiah12:1; Hagai 12:1; 1 Chronicles3:17-19; (Political) Zechariah 4; given power over the religious and political powers during the tribulation to show the supremacy of God in heaven and in the earth, thus no physical power can hurt them, they are the anointed of God, for the end time!. Zechariah chapters 3 and 4. They signifed the end of law and the beginning of the promise of coming grace, through faith, in the coming Messiah, and also heralded the advent of the Messiah, Zechariah 14, and the conclusion of the world system, and the establishment of the Millennium reign and the final judgment, and the new heaven and earth- Isaiah 65, Revelation chapters 19-21; Isaiah 66:24; Lastly- the rewards Revelation 22.
The Lord never leaves any thing hanging. The two books of Ezra and Nehemiah were the only ones not concluded, as the 70th week year will continue from where they stopped and the book was shut in Daniel 12:4. God always performs and perfects His purposes and promises. He is Faithful and True, He has exalted His word above all His name, so none of His word will go back to Him void! He is God All by Himself, as some would say! All glory and praises to His Holy name! Amen!
Galatians 4:29-30! It's always been like this right from the beginning, right from the garden, then Genesis chapters 6,14:17-24; 21:9-10- Jacob and Esau; Pharez and Zerah; Pharaoh/Moses; David/Absalom; Jezebel, Athaliah, Haman, Herod, Hitler, Antichrist/false prophet.
This has to play out till the end for all to know, without a shadow of doubt, that God rules in the midst of the heathen, the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell in them, and that He is Lord of all!
I was wondering, if the two witnesses', the two olive trees..Where indeed..JESUS Christ, and John the Baptist
Malachi 4:5
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and Dreadful day of the Lord.
I don't know about the other one, some say Enoch or Moses. But we do know one is Elijah.
And the 2 witnesses are literally two people who are prophets.You gotta take Revelation 11 literally or you'll just be lost.
Doug is a false teacher in the church who doesn't take his bible literally. if he can get that wrong, what else is he getting wrong?
@@jessy4464 Good Day..
The two Witnesses were those who witness the Events of JESUS..
Did Elijah witness these things?
Not unless John the Baptist whom JESUS said is Elijah is considered One of the Witnesses.
In (Acts 1:8) . But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is Come upon you: and ye shall be Witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Also in Revelation 3:14) Unto the angel 9f the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God....
So from these verses, the Apostles are the witnesses of JESUS, And JESUS is the True witness of Creation..
@@jessy4464 The Great Day of the LORD has nothing to do with the two Witnesses..We are discussing Who are these two Witnesses? These two Witnesses are not Witnessing the Day of the LORD; They are Witness to see JESUS came in the flesh as the Prophets prophesied in the days of Old..
@@jessy4464 I believe the Great Day of the LORD is when JESUS rose from the dead.
The wrath of God will be when the wicked people will die And they will be judged,. Maybe in death..
The Bible says there will come a time when the dead hears the voice of God; and will be judged..
Dear Brother Batchelor. You said, "Can anyone be saved by keeping the Law. No!"
Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: *but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments* .
You quoted the words of the Savior in every other instance but here. And you should be commended for your excellent delivery. But how hard is it to grasp this simple point. This is where Adventist theologians fail. They alter the words of God. Did not the Savior say this?
Mat_16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and *then he shall reward every man according to his works* .
We cannot afford to be inconsistent. Everything else you said was on target, but our theologians have lost their minds. If you keep God's Law *you will be saved* . The Savior promised that in Mat 19:17. Keeping God's law implies that your intentions will be questioned to establish your works. Actions are not necessarily Works. No man's works are acceptable if the intent is askew. A work is not a motion. If what a man does is just cogitations of the body, then the cogitations cannot be rendered as works. We call it Epilepsy. And if any motion a man makes is powered by intent, then judgment will review that work and the inherent intent. Our theologians have failed or they have been invaded, I leave it to you to decide, but they cannot figure out how to get around the Evangelical "Saved by Grace". In every utterance, the Savior said that by works is how a man will be saved.
Rev_14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; *and their works do follow them* .
Works are the only medium via which man's intentions are made known. Only a work reveals the heart within. That is why the Savior said:
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that *I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works* .
How many times does God have to say that for us to believe it? That is also how it was in the Old Testament:
Jer_17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and *according to the fruit of his doings* .
For heaven's sake, we are not saved by Grace. The Savior never mentioned Grace at all. Grace is useful only to allow a sinner to approach God without perishing. But that does not translate to Salvation.
The Pharisees did nearly nothing according to God's Law. They did not keep God's Laws. They made their own laws to make it easy to sin all they want.
Jas_2:24 Ye see then how that *by works a man is justified* , and not by faith only.
And this is a verse poorly translated. It should have been translated as follows.
Jas_2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and *not by faith alone* .
It is time to wake up Brother. Legalism does not define a man who keeps God's Law to be saved. All people will be saved by works:
Rev_20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, *according to their works* .
Rev_20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man *according to their works* .
Rev_22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, *to give every man according as his work shall be* .
Rev_2:2 *I know thy works, and thy labour* , and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
Rev_2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and *repent, and do the first works* ; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Rev_2:9 *I know thy works* , and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Rev_2:13 *I know thy works* , and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Rev_2:19 *I know thy works* , and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last
to be more than the first.
Rev_2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and *I will give unto every one of you according to your works* .
Rev_2:26 *And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end* , to him will I give power over the nations:
Rev_3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; *I know thy works* , that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead .
Rev_3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for *I have not found thy works perfect before God* .
Rev_3:8 *I know thy works* : behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Rev_3:15 *I know thy works* , that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Salvation is not by works? Maybe someone should inform the Savior. Keep in mind that the Savior never mentioned "Grace". Grace has a place but it is not a replacement for God's Mercy.
💛💙 ❤👍🙏Absolutely
Thank you for writing this.
What book is Jas? Never heard this book before. I read NKJV.
2 Corinthians 3
But if the ministration of death written and Engraving in Stones was glorious so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses.
God made us able Ministers of the New Testament not of the letter but of the spirit for the letter kills but the spirit gives life.
We are truly under grace and not law.
Doug is a wolf talking to the sheep and Jesus said my she hears my voice and follows me.
If the seventh day adventists continue to follow what man says and not the bible in it contexts, then they will continue to follow the wolf.
Trust Jesus not yourselves or Doug
pastor you forget the topic
I am one of the two with 5400 subscribers to my testimony. Will you hear?
The two witnesses will appear at the conclusion of the world system.
They are both representing both the church and Israel.
At this time, we're gathering together to confirm that the 2 witnesses could be the Apostle John and Daniel.
Their mission overlap as both represent the Church and Israel, respectively.
Revelation 1:1-2, equally applies to both of them- Daniel was referred to as "Greatly beloved " 10:111, 19, as well as John referred to himself as "the desciple whom Jesus loved " John 21:7; 13:23; 20:2.
They both received direct Revelation from the risen Jesus Christ. John 16:25; Daniel 8:17; 20:1, 8-9; Revelation 1:17 (Daniel chapters 8-12. (Daniel chapter 10=Revelation 1, Jesus Christ came to give them the vision, from the Father).
Revelation 10:11 signified the end of all written prophecies, both old and new testaments, and now they must be orally proclaimed, which continues into chapter 11, about the mission of the two witnesses.
Daniel once "rested" until the manifestation and completion of the prophecy, which he couldn't understand - about the suffering and killed Messiah. John was called up in Revelation 4, and I believe the same goes for Daniel, called up from his rest.
Thus, it's highly probable that they both were the ones prophesying for 1,260 days- for both the remnants of Israel and the left behind Christians, and as witnesses to the whole world as the "mystery of iniquity" is being concluded Revelation 11:2, and the world system is being prepared for final judgement.
They had to do to fulfill the word that says, "It is appointed to man, once to die, and then judgment." They died, but according to 1 Corinthians 15:51-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; death's sting had no effect on them, and the grave couldn't be victorious over them!
They were finally called back up, and they ascended into heaven Revelation 11:7-12 to be in the presence of the Lord
as "The Two Anointed Ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth " - The two Candlesticks and two Olive Trees!!!
It has always been about the Royal-Priesthood: Royal- House of David;
Priesthood: House of Levi- Aaron-Zadoc , Zechariah 6:9-15; 1 Samuel 30:7-8 ( 2:28; 21:1-6; 2 Samuel 6:7-14).
ZECHARIAH 4:11- REVELATION 11:4! Fulfilling God's original plan, even the mystery which had been hid from the foundation of the world, finally settled in heaven! Exodus 19:6; 1 Peter 2:9-10- Israel and the Church becomes One New Man, in Christ Jesus, who stood in the midst of the seven Candlesticks Revelation 1:13!
Fulfilling Zechariah 4:14!
Man, who was made in the image and likeness of Christ Jesus, was covered in glory at Creation, then lost this glory. Jesus Christ left His glory to save the soul of fallen man, and for the promised glory, went to the cross died and resurrected from the dead and restored man to glory John 17:22; 1 Peter 5:10. This is the anointing upon both Israel and the Church because of the faith of Abraham.
Man now has a place before the presence of God as:
1) In Christ - Head plus His Body - the ransomed and redeemed, the Church, in the midst of the Candlesticks, Revelation 1.
2) As the 2 Olive Trees and 2 Candlesticks- Joshua the High Priest, Zerubbabel, the Apostle John and Daniel, representing Israel and the Church,
3) The 24 Elders representing men of old, 12 elders of the 12 tribes, and 12 elders of the Church,
4) The 144,000, who were never defiled, even with women, but had the original body undefiled by Satan and the world.
The story is simply about the restoration of man into glory, despite the devils shenanigans over the ages.
In conclusion, the 2 witnesses represent both Israel as a nation and the Church as the body of Christ, for the subsequent coming of the kingdom of God on earth.
Let the Lord shed light on His mystery in Jesus' name!
There is only ONE Gospel: The Gospel of Reconciliation.
All other gospels are accursed.
Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself.
We are the fallen angels kept in DNA chains of darkness.
If you do not confess being a fallen angel in Lucifer's kingdom, then you are an unbeliever.
Unbeliever = those that claim to be made in the image of God.
Amazing Facts? Really? I mean Really? Do you really know who the two witnesses foretold in Revelation ch II are? Hmmm I bet not! Now I will go watch some...
Also... Neither Moses nor Elijah nor ANY Ancient Prophet, Saint, Apostle or Deciple are the Two Witnesses. Not one of them are asked or required to give up their heritage and more.
Who are they?
I love the teachings of Amazing Facts, but on this Two Witnesses you miss the interpretation.
Helena go to AoC Network, there you will understand who the Two Witnesss are.
@@clementmakondi1773 Well, there is a very good reason one can read my comments in a wide variety of UA-cam videos with their WRONG ideas about us (the 2 Witnesses). First, I am one of the 2 Witnesses and who would know more about us than one of us? All these folks out here claiming they know who the two Witnesses are, do this for monetary gain.
(Although I agree a man is worthy of his hire... I still have not out up video posts.
(I am dirt floor poor but I don't chase money.)
We... The 2 Witnesses are pale Christian Gentiles men. We are proof that in Heaven Gentiles are equal to Jews. This is the only physical proof that Gentiles are accepted in Heaven as equals to God's Chosen. God chose the Jews and Gentiles chose God... This is how equality is readily accepted. Jews seeing and knowing we (the Witnesses are Prophets of their God is validation the Jews will accept, but not until they see us ascend to Heaven.
Think you can show me how Gentiles in Heaven and on earth will be gladly accepted by Jews, I mean other than what I just described? Good luck with that.
So... I am quite certain I missed nothing.
Jews will recognize Christian Believers as their brothers and sisters.
Malachi 4
Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and Dreadful day of the Lord
I thought this was supposed to be a teaching on the identity of the two witnesses, shame on you, very very deceptive.
I love God's law, it is perfect for what it was intended, to point us to Jesus as God almighty, creator of all.
May I asked u dough are you holy? are you the one thinking sinless? Apply that to yourself . And by the way is trinity in the Bible?
Thats the questions the devil always use so that people think they can't never keep the 10 commandments..But the Bible says all things are possible with God matthew 19:26, Mark 10:27, Luke 18:27 etc..
In Hebrew mind, the idea of one didn’t mean numerical quantity but it meant one unit. There’s unity in the word one. For example, Genesis 1:26 and 3:22, God is referred in Plural form “us” which means Father, Son and Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. Hebrew uses the word “Elohim” as a phrases for God and it is a plural word not singular.
The word “Trinity” can’t be found in the Bible just like the word “Bible” can’t be found in the Bible itself. Bible is a Latin word for “Book” used to refer the Words of God in Old and New Testaments. While, Trinity is a Latin word for “Three Entities” used to refer the Three Entities of God.
In Matthew 3, you can find about baptism where Father is in heaven saying, This is my beloved Son to Jesus while He is in the water and the Holy Spirit is coming down in the form of dove. You can see the Three Entities of God or Trinity here. You also can see about the Trinity in prayer where we are asking something that we want from Father(Matthew 6:6) in the name of Jesus the Son(John 14:13-14) while our prayer is lead by the Holy Spirit(Romans 8:26).
Jesus did teach about Trinity or Three Entities of God during his time. In Matthew 28:19 , Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit work together in unity as One God. One example is time, which one do you think is time? Past, present or future? You can’t choose which one because all of these is Time.
What do you think God created in the beginning? He created our universe which made up of time, space and matter. Why time, space and matter? This is His way to tell us how three-in-one works, through nature.
Two Witnesses are ordinary sinners who have become believers and as a result of believes they have also become witnesses of JESUS. You can notice the squence of their positions as sinner, believers and witnesses.
First & foremost the Title "Witnesses" was given only to early Apostles in Acts 1:8.
But all of these Apostles had become witnesses only by the Reception of the Holy Spirit into them on a Pentecostal day, though they were with JESUS since the beginning of His ministry, seeing what He was speaking & performing miracles but still they didn't become witnesses, only at the Pentecostal day. So the very important criteria to become a Witness of JESUS is to receive the Holy Spirit into the physical body and it's only possible by the Removal of the Parent's Spirit from the physical body, in fact this Parent's Spirit in inherited through sinful and it's unclean and satanic.
So, no leading Christian believers ever confessed that they have inherited an unclean Spirit from his Parent's, therefore imagining the Reception of the Holy Spirit into the physical body is never been realised but they believe that they have received the Holy Spirit but it's not a matter of beliefs but it's a phenomenon.
Therefore, if anybody received the Holy Spirit into the physical body in these days would eventually become a witness of JESUS, and fit to the descriptions of Revelation 11 & the life example of JESUS.
Thus, the witnesses of JESUS is able to claim to exist before 2000 years and fulfill Mark 9:1. Since only these SOME or TWO repented sinners received the Holy Spirit, and that the age of the Holy Spirit is as of now 1988 years and it's eventually applicable to them, therefore they can claim to exist before 2000 years and fulfill Mark 9:1 as of JESUS did in John 8:58.
2ndly, these SOME or TWO might challenge the power of death or weapons since their physical bodies are the Temple of God that can't be destroyed by deadly diseases like cancer or accidents or Covid or even bullets as of JESUS did in John 2:19.
As of now these SOME or TWO described in Mark 9:1, Matt 16:28 & Luke 9:27 & Revelation 11 exist in South India, having their roots from Jerusalem and has become ONE AMONG the early Apostles b/c only these Apostles and now these two received the Holy Spirit back then and now respectively entitled to the title as WITNESSES OF JESUS.
How do they perform what's described in Revelation 11?
Skip Pauley How do these SOME or TWO perform what's described in Rev 11?
Rev 11 & the Two Witnesses are the only guys SAVED, and all others are believers. So, once SAVED then it's impossible for any power ot challenge them and such sort of a Salvation only JESUS bought by shedding his blood on the cross, so Salvation is great and that's the secret of the reference sackcloth, and they start testify the LORD JESUS CHRIST by starting where early Apostles left off and accomplish the rest by meeting the Lord in the heaven but it's outlandish to the believers around the world.
These TWO are capable of stopping the rain from heaven, how?
During the testimony of these two, they are able to stop the rain from heaven, what is it says is that the False Doctrines developed by the believers is showering like a rain from heaven, that would be stopped by the witnesses. Doctrines are portrayed in the Bible as Rain and dews, and would be stopped when a true doctrine of the Bible is testified by these two witnesses in whom only the Holy Spirit indwells.
They are to turn the water into blood, how and what it says is that the blood of Jesus was shed on this planet and the purpose is to destroy the works of devil and ultimately death and destruction as in the case of water turned blood killed all the water borne beings in Egypt and the same here happens but only the death and destruction to the works of devil that happens precisely in men.
They have a power to fire their assailants, since they're the Temple of God and no power can hurt or destroy anywhere else and that would be terrible challenge to atheists, skeptics and ungodly wicked world of 21st century, and that the physically demonstrate proof of God/Jesus, if anybody fire a bullet then those bullets shall be bounce back and redirected towards the assailants and they shall be killed instantly. The God of the Holy Bible is consuming fire and that would only be known when someone fire at the witnesses objectively.
However, there's an exception if anybody fire a bullets when the witnesses are in the city of Jerusalem, their assailants shall be spared and the two witnesses shall be killed and nobody ury b/c of their challenging testimony throughout the world, and after 3 and half days they shall be resurrected and ascend to heaven to meet the Lord and that's when His commandment " Thou Follow me" shall be accomplished and the lord returns back to the Olivet.
These all shall be carried out objectively with world now filled with online, tv, twitter, internet etc.,
So, the point is that the TWO WITNESSES are pretty much exist now in the world, they have interacting with a false believers, leaders for the past 7 or 8 years, they have visited Jerusalem and interacted with Rabbis the way JESUS did and if the world recognizes them then that's all countdown for the climax shall begin with all terror and tension.
The believers have made a mess of false doctrines and gone deep in deception by saying the two witnesses were Elijah, Enoch. Moses etc., and all other doctrines of the Holy Bible.
John the Baptist already came to finish the commission that Elijah couldn't complete, and he asked God to let him die 1 Kings 19:14, and God grantedit- in a way but was restored in Matthew 17:1-2; but he already came : Matthew 17:12. John the Baptist was beheaded to complete Elijah's act of beheading all the 450 prophets of baal and 400 prophets of asherah at the brook of Kison. 1 Kings 18:28; 2 Corinthians 5:10.
That was why Jesus ignored him and made him to doubt if He was actually the Messiah, despite the fact that he was the one who got Him baptized and witnessed to Him as the Lamb of God, who came to save the world. He doubted: that made him small before God. Abraham BELIEVED the Lord and it was accounted to him for righteousness Galatians 3:6-9; Romans 4:3.
Enoch was God's proof of a perfect man, born into a fallen estate, to show that man, even in His fallen estate, can still receive acceptance, contrary to what satan thought, since he can never be forgiven, that is one of the most compelling reasons why satan hates man, and all he does is mutilate and genetically re-engineer the flesh to scorn God.
Moses couldn't get into the promised land and fell short of God's grace, he asked God to kill him as well, out of the frustration of doing the work of the Spirit, in the flesh, like Elijah Numbers 11:14-15, God honored his request as well, but God preserved his body because he had been in close contact with God and His glory. He and Elijah were restored to glory on the mount of transfiguration, where they witnessed God's answer for the redemption of the fallen man, who they both became frustrated with, and thought they were beyond salvation. Matthew 17:1-2. The same way He revealed Jesus to Daniel, because he couldn't understand, no matter how much of the prophesies he received, so he was made to shut the book Daniel 12:4, until all the prophecies were fulfilled and He saw the risen savior in tue book of Revelation (which I believewas written also by Him as he was told to rest till the time of the end, when all prophecies would have been fulfilled, and he would then understand what he wasn't able to at that time. The prophesies in the book of Revelationhad their root in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, and the Apostle John wasn't privy to that. Unless of course, he was there to confirm- as a witness, all what was revealed to Daniel. The scriptures had nothing to show as a background for him being the writer of the book of Revelation. The whole scenario also is similar to that in the book of Daniel- the angels, the island etc. ; just like how Jesus Christ was eventually revealed to the Apostle Paul- His last desciple, in Acts 9, to fulfill his mission for which he was called in Luke 18:18-22. No other person received Jesus's call.
God never leaves anything unfinished. Jesus couldn't be killed until He finished the whole work of salvation that God began when He got up from His 7 day sabbatical rest, from the work of salvation, until the cross John 5:17, 19:30, until He returns for the redemption of His purchased possession Ephesians 1:14, for which cause He sent His Holy Spirit to keep and teach and energize everyone that puts their trust in Him till the end Romans John 14:26; 8:9, 14, Who is the One holding off that man of sin, until all the sheep in the fold are ready and complete- No Holy Spirit (with evidence of speaking in tongues, no God, no redemption, no salvation, no Jesus, no matter who you are) Mark 16:16-18.
Jesus's death burial and resurrection- for both those who believed before and after His life on earth, can only be believed without a proof. Believe without seeing, which is the bedrock of the Christian faith Matthew16:16- Peter's confession of Jesus being the Christ. His profession was declared even though he never witnessed the heavens open and the Father declared Jesus Christ as His only Begotten Son, at baptism. His brother, Andrew was the one that told him they had found the Messiah, John 1:41, and Peter simply believed- like Abraham, the father of faith, and it was imputed to him as righteousness. Believe without seeing! Hebrews 11:6- WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD...
