THE TWO WITNESSES WHO ARE THEY?
The two witness are found in Revelation 11:3-12. WHO ARE THEY, and WHAT IS THEIR TESTIMONY FOR? Is it in fact the FINAL OFFERING TO MAN FOR SALVATION? The word WITNESSES is #3144 in Strong's, and it is the word "martus', which means WITNESS, MARTYR, OR RECORD. It has implications we must look at. These men of God bear THE RECORD OF GOD. They are, in that sense, REPRESENTATIVES OF THE WORD OF GOD. In other words, they would be individuals sent forth that would BEST REPRESENT THE NATURE AND CHARACTER OF GOD. There are two essential characteristics of God's nature that we need to be well aware of:
1. HIS JUDGMENT
2. HIS LOVE.
It is a fact of Scripture, even if REVERSED BY THE FALSE SHEPHERDS OF BABYLON, that THE JUDGMENT OF GOD PRECEDES HIS MERCY. You might think that a false statement, for GOD IS FULL OF MERCY AND EXTENDS IT TO THE VERY LAST MINUTE BEFORE HE LOWERS THE BOOM AND DESTROYS A SOUL. However, if we look at the truth of AUTHENTIC SALVATION, AS TAUGHT BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, WE SEE IN ALL CASES THE JUDGMENT OF GOD PRECEDES HIS GRANTING IMMUNITY THROUGH THE WORK OF CHRIST. That is why Jesus called the GATE STRAIT. That is why He termed the WAY NARROW. It was Christ who said that the HOLY SPIRIT WAS SENT TO JUDGE THE WORLD OF SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ETERNAL DAMNATION.
It is the work of the HOLY SPIRIT TO FIRST JUDGE THE INDIVIDUAL SOUL, AND WHEN THAT JUDGMENT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, THE OFFER OF CLEMENCY THROUGH CHRIST IS GRANTED. God says in many, many places that HE IS A GOD OF JUDGMENT, AND THAT HE LOVES JUDGMENT. He claims He loves to bring the HAUGHTY AND ARROGANT HUMAN HEART DOWN IN JUDGMENT. Why? Because it is the ONLY WAY HE CAN SAVE THE HUMAN SOUL. It has to be BROUGHT DOWN IN JUDGMENT AND DEATH, that it may be RESURRECTED IN NEWNESS OF LIFE. Therefore JUDGMENT PRECEDES MERCY. The Old Testament is a book ABOUT JUDGMENT. It is a book filled with GRAVIES JUDGMENTS AGAINST GOD'S OWN PEOPLE AND THE NATIONS ROUND ABOUT ISRAEL. There are dire warnings of SEVERE JUDGMENT FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HEED THE WORD OF GOD. Therefore it would seem that ONE OF THE WITNESS WOULD BE AN OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET THAT BROUGHT DOWN SEVERE JUDGMENT UPON ALL THAT WAS FALSE.
The other side of GOD is HIS MERCY, and HIS MERCY IS DERIVED FROM HIS LOVE. We can easily prove that the essence of God is HIS AGAPE LOVE. "GOD IS LOVE" says THE NEW TESTAMENT. Might it be possible then that THE OTHER WITNESS MIGHT BE ONE WHO BEST REPRESENTED THAT CHARACTERISTIC OF GOD'S NATURE? Paul describes this DUAL NATURE OF GOD, which has been forgotten by the America Christian
"Behold therefore
GOODNESS
and
SEVERITY
of GOD:
on them which fell,
SEVERITY;
but toward thee,
GOODNESS,
IF THOU CONTINUE
IN HIS
GOODNESS:
OTHERWISE, THOU SHALT ALSO BE
CUT OFF."
(Romans 11:22)
THE WRATH OF GOD IS HIS SEVERITY. THE LOVE OF GOD IS HIS GOODNESS. If God were to witness to the WORLD in the FINAL END OF THINGS, and if it is HIS WILL THAT NONE SHOULD PERISH, then would he not send TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD REPRESENTS BOTH SIDES OF HIS PERSONALITY? Would He not send someone to WARN MANKIND OF IMPENDING DOOM, and yet at the SAME TIME, OFFER A HAND IN LOVE TO ALL THAT WOULD COME? Christians have fought over THE IDENTITY OF THE TWO WITNESSES, but are we able to allow God TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO US? In other words, IF WE JUST READ THE WORD OF GOD CAREFULLY, COULD THE IDENTITY OF THE TWO WITNESSES BE ESTABLISHED AS A SURE THING? The identity of the TWO WITNESSES is almost the same things as attempting to identify the parameters laid down for the ANTICHRIST. We simply WILL NOT ACCEPT WHAT SCRIPTURES SAYS ABOUT IT. We say to ourselves, "This could not possibly BE TRUE." In almost all cases, the witnesses have been identified as MOSES, ELIAS or ENOCH is sometimes mentioned, for HE DID NOT DIE, AND IT IS APPOINTED UNTO ALL MEN ONCE TO DIE.
We can prove directly from the Bible who ONE OF THEM IS, for it clearly stated that He was "Esaias" or ELIJAH. It is interesting to note how Elijah, Moses and Korah form a pattern for the LAST DAYS.
"And Elijah came unto ALL THE PEOPLE, and said,
HOW LONG
HALT YE
BETWEEN
TWO OPINIONS?
If THE LORD BE GOD, FOLLOW HIM;
but IF BAAL,
FOLLOW HIM.
AND THE PEOPLE
ANSWERED HIM NOT A WORD."
(1 Kings 18:21)
Now KORAH AND THE MEN OF RENOWN link up to BAAL IN THE LAST DAYS. It is the LAST AND FINAL SHOWDOWN OF JUST WHO IS THE REAL GOD. All people of the world will have to make a choice: EITHER BAAL AND ANTICHRIST ARE GOD, OR THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL IS GOD.. So how long, then, will the people of the world HALT BETWEEN THESE TWO SUPERNATURAL FORCES?
THE LAMB BEAST CLAIMS IT REPRESENTS GOD AND THE CHRIST. THE UNITED NATIONS CLAIMS IT IS THE LAST HOPE OF HUMANITY, AND QUOTES FROM SCRIPTURE. ALL OF THESE FORCES OF BAAL GATHER TOGETHER. In the case of Elijah, it was ONE AGAINST FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY FALSE PROPHETS, TEACHERS AND EVANGELISTS. In the Tribulation, Elijah will have to prove who the Lord is, all over again to a hardened and skeptical world. Elijah claims that HE ALONE REMAINS THE ONLY PROPHET OF GOD. ALL THE OTHERS ARE PHONIES, LIARS, DECEIVERS.
"And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said,
LORD GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND OF ISRAEL,
LET IT BE KNOWN
THIS DAY
THAT THOU ART
GOD IN ISRAEL,
AND THAT
I AM THY SERVANT,
AND THAT I HAVE DONE ALL THESE THINGS
AT THY WORD.
HEAR ME, O LORD,
HEAR ME,
THAT THIS PEOPLE
MAY KNOW
THAT THOU ART
THE LORD GOD,
AND THAT THOU HAST TURNED THEIR HEART AGAIN."
(1 Kings 18:36-37)
And so the fire fell. And when it did, all of the people fell upon their faces to worship THE REAL GOD. The prophets of BAAL WERE ALL KILLED. It has the same ring to it has MOSES AND KORAH. It has the same ring to it AS REBELLION IN THE CAMP. Does this prove that Elijah is one of the witnesses? No, but there is a direct statement that he is:
"BEHOLD,
I WILL SEND
YOU ELIJAH
THE PROPHET
BEFORE
THE COMING
OF THE
GREAT AND
DREADFUL
DAY OF THE LORD."
. (Malachi 4:5).
Notice it is BEFORE THE DAY OF THE LORD THAT ELIJAH COMES. That alone proves that the FIRST HALF OF THE TRIBULATION IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE "DAY OF THE LORD", for it is a day of judgment, a time of FIRE, OF TROUBLE, OF GLOOM AND DARKNESS. The vast majority of Babylonian prophetic ministries will tell you that THE DAY OF THE LORD INCLUDES DANIEL'S 70th WEEK. It does not. THE DAY OF THE LORD IS ALWAYS PORTRAYED IN SCRIPTURE AS BEING A DAY OF FIRE, WRATH AND DARKNESS, never AS A "CONFIRMATION" OF A COVENANT. As we have already proven that the GREAT DAY OF THE LORD BEGINS AFTER THE TEMPLE ABOMINATION, then ELIJAH AND THE OTHER WITNESS MUST APPEAR AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE TRIBULATION PERIOD. They must witness, it says in Revelation, for 1260 days before they are killed. Thus it is that ELIJAH who is the OLD TESTAMENT WITNESS, comes to do battle with LUCIFER AND THE FALSE PROPHET. Who is the OTHER WITNESS?
In Zechariah, we get a glimpse of who it MIGHT BE.
"And he said unto me, WHAT SEEST THOU? And I said, I have looked, and behold
A CANDLESTICK
ALL OF GOLD,
WITH A BOWL UPON THE TOP OF IT,
AND HIS
SEVEN LAMPS
THEREON, AND
SEVEN PIPES
TO THE
SEVEN LAMPS,
WHICH ARE UPON
THE TOP THEREFOR.
AND
TWO
OLIVE TREES
BY IT,
ONE UPON
THE RIGHT SIDE
OF THE BOWL,
AND THE OTHER
ON THE
LEFT SIDE
THEREOF."
(Zechariah 4:2-3)
So we have CANDLESTICK WITH SEVEN LAMPS MADE OF GOLD. WE ALSO HAVE TWO OLIVE TREES, ONE TO THE RIGHT, AND ONE TO THE LEFT.
"Then answered I, and said unto him, What are THESE TWO OLIVE TRESS
UPON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CANDLESTICK AND UPON THE LEFT SIDE THEREOF?
And I answered again, and said unto him, WHAT BE THESE
TWO OLIVE BRANCHES
WHICH THROUGH
THE TWO GOLDEN PIPES
EMPTY THEMSELVES
And he answered me and said, KNOWEST THOU NOT WHAT THESE BE? And I said, NO, MY LORD.
Then said he, THESE ARE THE
TWO ANOINTED ONES,
THAT STAND
BY THE LORD
OF THE
WHOLE EARTH."
(Zechariah 4:11-14).
Notice we have TWO OLIVE TREES, AND TWO OLIVE BRANCHES, AND TWO ANOINTED ONES. Notice that ONE STANDS UPON THE RIGHT SIDE, THE OTHER TO THE LEFT SIDE. We now move to Revelation and to find out what we can there about all of this:
"And I shall give power unto my
TWO WITNESSES.
AND THEY SHALL
PROPHESY A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREESCORE DAYS, CLOTHED IN SACKCLOTH.
THESE ARE THE
TWO OLIVE TREES,
AND
THE
TWO CANDLESTICKS STANDING BEFORE THE GOD OF THE EARTH."
(Revelation 11:3-4).
Again we find the number TWO. Is the key found in WHERE THEY STAND IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE GOLDEN LAMPSTAND WITH THE SEVEN LAMPS? ONE ON THE RIGHT, THE OTHER ON THE LEFT? Notice that these OLIVE TREES ARE TWO LAMPS. Lamps give off LIGHT. Zechariah said THEY WERE ANOINTED. What GIVES OFF LIGHT THAT IS ANOINTED? Is not the WORD OF THE LORD ANOINTED? DOES IT NOT GIVE LIGHT TO A WORLD IN DARKNESS? It is interesting that the WORD OF THE LORD IS DIVIDED INTO TWO DISTINCT WITNESSES, and that BY TWO OR MORE WITNESSES IS A THING ESTABLISHED.
We have the OLD TESTAMENT, WHICH WAS ANOINTED BY GOD, WHICH WAS THE LIGHT FOR ISRAEL BEFORE CHRIST, WHICH WE WOULD PLACE ON THE LEFT. We then have THE NEW TESTAMENT, THE LIGHT FOR THE CHURCH AGE, AND CHRIST IS ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER. If this be true, THEN THE LEFT OLIVE TREE MOST LIKELY REPRESENTS THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE WORD OF GOD IN IT IS THE ANOINTED ONE OF GOD FOR ISRAEL.
Likewise the OLIVE TREE ON THE RIGHT WOULD REPRESENT THE NEW TESTAMENT, AND WORD OF GOD IS THE ANOINTED ONE FOR THE CHURCH. We therefore have TWO WITNESSES. Both of these witnesses TESTIFY OF THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: JESUS CHRIST. The Old Testament was a TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST BEFORE HIS REVELATION. HE IS FOUND ALL OVER IT. THE NEW TESTAMENT IS A WITNESS TO HIS LIFE, AND FULFILLS THE OLD TESTAMENT. Thus the OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT MEET AT THE CROSS ON CALVARY. THE CROSS ON CALVARY REPRESENTS THE TWO ASPECTS OF GOD:
1. HIS JUDGMENT
2. HIS LOVE.
We are back where we began, to the two PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD. Who then, would best represent those characteristics? But it is obvious that you cannot kill the Word of God, and that we are dealing here with TWO LIVING PEOPLE. THEY ARE TWO OLIVE TREES. Now Israel is called both a FIG TREE and an OLIVE TREE in the OLD TESTAMENT. Paul said that THE CHURCH IS A BRANCH GRAFTED INTO THE OLIVE TREE, AND ALSO CALLED IT A WILD OLIVE TREE. Zechariah said that there are TWO OLIVE TREES, AND TWO BRANCHES. ONE BRACH IS ON THE RIGHT, THE OTHER ON THE LEFT. Paul said we are WILD OLIVE BRANCHES, BEING GRAFTED INTO THE GOOD OLIVE TREE. Because we are of CHRIST, and IN CHRIST, we SIT ON THE RIGHT. We could therefore CONCLUDE THAT ONE OF THE BRANCHES, ONE OF THE TREES IS IN FACT A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. If this is so, then it is also a fact that ELIJAH IS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. Now before Christ came there was A WITNESS CALLED JOHN THE BAPTIST. John the Baptist brought a message of JUDGMENT. He said JUDGMENT WAS ON THE WAY, AND CALLED FOR "REPENTANCE" SO WE COULD ALL AVOID THE COMING JUDGMENT. "Repent" was the message of the day. Christ said that John the Baptist was ELIJAH if the JEWS WOULD HAVE BELIEVED. So we have an IMPLIED REMARK THAT ELIJAH IS ALWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ADVENTS OF THE LORD TO EARTH.
If Elijah is the most representative figure for the OLD TESTAMENT, then who would be the MOST LIKELY FIGURE TO REPRESENT THE NEW TESTAMENT? To answer that one, we need only look at what THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IS, AND WHAT TRUE SALVATION ENTAILS. If we do that on an objective basis, we come up with AGAPE LOVE IS THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, and is THE SPIRIT OF REGENERATION, OF A NEW HEART MADE IN THE "IMAGE" OF GOD. Who, of all of the writers in the NEW TESTAMENT, SPOKE ABOUT, AND TAUGHT ABOUT THE AGAPE LOVE OF CHRIST? Who more than ANY OTHER DID THIS, and WHO WAS THE DISCIPLE THAT CHRIST LOVED? You got it, IT IS THE APOSTLE JOHN. Did you know there is NO RECORD OF THE DEATH OF JOHN? Could it be that HE DID NOT DIE? The odds are very high that John the Revelator will be THE OTHER WITNESS. If this is true, we should find some DIRECT STATEMENTS BY JOHN OR CHRIST TO PROVE IT IS SO. And we should find it in the Old Testament as well!!
Zechariah makes an interesting statement in the discourse about the TWO WITNESSES, THE TWO OLIVE TREES, THE TWO BRANCHES. Read it carefully, for it concerns the SPIRIT OF THE LORD:
"Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerub-ba-bel, saying,
NOT BY MIGHT,
NOR BY POWER,
BUT BY
MY SPIRIT,
SAITH THE
LORD OF HOSTS."
(Zechariah 4:6)
If the battle is to be eventually won NOT BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER, BUT BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, and we know that the SPIRIT OF GOD IS AGAPE, then THE ONE OF THE FINAL BATTLES UPON EARTH WILL INCLUDE THE WEAPON OF AGAPE LOVE. There is no power upon earth greater than THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD. There is a power on earth that all men know and recognize: LOVE. HUMAN LOVE RELEASED. Part of the STRONG DELUSION THAT GOD CASTS DOWN UPON EARTH WILL BE THAT HUMAN LOVE RELEASED IS THE AGAPE LOVE OF GOD. Human UNREGENERATE LOVE WILL BE THE "GLUE" OF LUCIFER AND HIS DOMINIONS.
Peter made this very same mistake in his exchange with the resurrected Christ. Christ confronted Peter with the question AGAPE LOVETH THOU ME? Peter replied YES HE DID, AND THEN SUBSTITUTED NATURAL HUMAN LOVE (PHILEO) FOR AGAPE. This is exactly what the NEW AGE MOVEMENT AND THE RELIGIONS OF MAN ATTEMPT TO DO. The bottom of this whole thing is a REFUSAL TO COMPLY WITH THE COMMANDS OF JESUS CHRIST TO PICK UP THE CROSS AND DIE THE DEATH. Without LOSING YOUR LIFE HERE, you WILL NEVER OBTAIN THE RESURRECTED LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST.
This is why ANTICHRIST CANNOT STAND THE TRUE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY ANOINTED OF GOD TO GIVE MANKIND AGAPE LOVE, AND THUS BE SAVED. The ANTICHRIST HUMAN HEART CANNOT BEAR THAT MESSAGE. It wishes to EXHAULT ITSELF AND CLAIMS IT CAN DO AS PETER DID: LOVE WITH A HUMAN LOVE, WHICH IS, THEY CLAIM, AS GOOD AS THE LOVE OF GOD!! The United Nations is already under the delusion with their phony PEACE, LOVE AND BROTHERHOOD. They invade sovereign nations, they kill, they set up their United Nations approved puppet governments, all in the NAME OF LOVE. LOVE IS THE GLUE OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER. WHEN LUCIFER ARRIVES HE WILL UNLOCK THE FLOOD GATES THAT BAR THE RELEASE OF HUMAN LOVE TO OTHERS.
This RISE OF THE HUMAN BEING TO A NEW LEVEL OF "CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS' brought about by manufactured crisis, WILL BE A HUMAN LOVE RELEASE. You will see more acts of charity and kindness than you ever dreamed possible. LOVE WILL BE THE BYWORD, and is rapidly becoming so in all spheres of human activity. But the love of man is not love at all, but filled with DECEPTION. It will be LOVE that dissolves all the boundaries between the religions of man, and casts aside all the doctrines that divide. The occult has long said it is so, and they know more than the Christians, because the Children of Darkness and wiser than the Children of Light. Now it is a fact that the TRUE ELECT OF THE LORD, HIS CHOSEN ONES, KNOW THE DIFFERENCE between HUMAN LOVE AND THE AGAPE LOVE OF GOD. They know the difference because they walked the walk of THE CROSS, AND DIED, AND WERE THEN SHOWN THE AGAPE LOVE OF GOD, which is ALIEN TO THE HUMAN RACE, UNKNOWN, AND HIDDEN, A GREAT MYSTERY.
Our modern day Church, the church of "Korah", of Cain and of Baal, REFUSED THE STRAIT GATE AND NARROW WAY, AND INVENTED A NEW THEOLOGY THAT BYPASSED THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST. Because they have sidestepped the commands of Jesus Christ, they DO NOT KNOW WHAT TRUE AGAPE IS, FOR IT HAS NEVER BEEN REVEALED UNTO THEM. However, THEY CLAIM THEY DO KNOW WHAT IT IS, AND THAT THEY HAVE IT, that they are REGENERATED AND THE SONS OF GOD. They are UNDER THE STRONG DELUSION, AND THEREFORE MUST AND WILL GO UNDER LUCIFER AND THE FALSE PROPHET'S POWER.
Now if God is full of mercy, and compassion, and it is true that He wishes NOT ANY TO PERISH, is it possible that He would SEND TO EARTH A TRUE REPRESENTATIVE OF AGAPE LOVE, SO THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH COULD SEE IT, WITNESS IT, AND LOOK UPON IT? They had Christ, but REJECTED HIM. Would God send the human race JOHN THE REVELATOR to give them one more look, ONE MORE CHANCE? They COULD THEN MAKE A CHOICE, AND NOT HALT BETWEEN TWO POSITIONS. They could elect YEA OR NAY. The dividing line would be VERY EVIDENT.
Agape love IS NOT viewed as love in the world. Christ was killed because of HIS LOVE. The true Christians have always been killed because of THEIR LOVE. THEIR LOVE REQUIRES THEM TO WITNESS. IT REQUIRES THEM TO WARN. IT REQUIRES THEM NOT TO COUNT THE COST, FOR IT IS UNCONDITIONAL, AND IT IS OF CHRIST. The agape love of Christ will not tolerate false doctrine for it knows that false doctrine can slay the soul for all eternity, and that IT MUST STAND UPON ONLY THE TRUTH. The agape love of Christ is therefore looked upon by man as being INTOLERANT, A FORM OF HATRED, AND IT WILL RISE UP AGAINST IT, AND KILL THE REAL LOVE BRINGERS. It has always been so.
With that, we will now see if we find ANY REFERENCE TO THE FACT THAT JOHN THE REVELATOR MIGHT RETURN TO EARTH TO FULFILL HIS MISSION. After all, if John was coming back, we should find some references to that fact, and they might be very clear and direct, or in implication. We are going to start in John 21, when Christ and Peter had their argument over the AGAPE LOVE, PHILEO LOVE VALUES AND WHAT HUMAN LOVE WAS REALLY WORTH. Peter, in verse 18, was informed that HE was going to DIE ON THE CROSS WHEN HE WAS OLD. Peter was going to GLORIFY GOD BY A DEATH PETER WOULD NOT WANT, BUT WOULD DO ANYWAY.
Peter was sort of upset over all of this, and so he says to Christ:
"Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following;
which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, LORD, AND WHAT SHALL THIS MAN DO?" (John 21:20-21).
Peter, annoyed that he will die as an OLD MAN (which denies imminence), asks Jesus about John, and how JOHN WAS GOING TO DIE. The answer is very strange, top say the least. Read it carefully:
"Jesus saith unto him,
IF
I WILL
THAT HE TARRY
TILL I COME,
WHAT IS THAT TO THEE?
FOLLOW THOU ME."
(John 21:22).
Read it again. Jesus says to Peter, IF IT IS MY WILL THAT JOHN DOES NOT DIE UNTIL MY COMING WHAT IS THAT TO THEE?
The word tarry is " meno" and it means TO CONTINUE, TO ABIDE WITH, TO STAY, TO REMAIN, TO ENDURE, TO DWELL WITH. The word "come" is also interesting. It means to ACCOMPANY, TO APPEAR. So this is indeed a very strange answer to give concerning the death of John. JOHN WILL REMAIN WITH JESUS UNTIL HIS ARRIVAL. This remark was SO STRANGE it disturbed the disciples:
"Then went this saying abroad among the BRETHREN, THAT
THIS DISCIPLE
SHOULD N0T DIE;
YET JESUS SAID
NOT UNTO HIM,
HE SHALL NOT DIE,
BUT, IF I WILL
THAT HE TARRY
TILL I COME,
WHAT IS THAT
TO THEE?"
(John 21:23).
Now the point of the debate between the BRETHREN was that JOHN SHOULD NOT DIE. But Jesus never said HE WOULD NOT DIE, BUT THAT HE WOULD TARRY WITH JESUS UNTIL JESUS CAME TO EARTH AGAIN. HE WOULD THEN, AT THAT TIME DIE. This would be true, because if John is the SECOND WITNESS, HE WILL DIE. It is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment. So we do have a direct statement from Jesus Christ that John will not die until his APPEARING. He will tarry with CHRIST, IN UNION, UNTIL THE ARRIVAL TIME COMES. Are there any other statements that would seem to confirm this fact?
"I John,
who also AM YOUR BROTHER, AND
COMPANION IN
(THE) TRIBULATION,
AND
IN THE KINGDOM
AND PATIENCE OF
JESUS CHRIST,
WAS
IN THE ISLAND
OF PAT-MOS,
FOR THE WORD OF GOD, AND FOR
THE TESTIMONY
OF JESUS CHRIST."
(Revelation 1:9)
The most accurate translation is AND COMPANION IN "THE TRIBULATION". How can John be a companion with us DURING THE TRIBULATION UNLESS HE IS HERE UPON EARTH TO EXPERIENCE IT? Is this a statement direct from John that HE WILL BE BACK AS ONE OF THE WITNESSES? We then find this intriguing statement from John:
"And he said unto me,
THOU
MUST PROPHESY
AGAIN
BEFORE
MANY PEOPLES,
AND NATIONS,
AND TONGUES,
AND KINGS."
(Revelation 10:11).
Now at first glance, one might just think that means John is going to WRITE MORE OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION, but that is not what it says. It very clearly says that JOHN WILL ONCE AGAIN, FOR A SECOND TIME, PROPHESY BEFORE MANY PEOPLES. He did not do so the first time. HE WAS IN EXILE. HE WAS ALONE. HE LEFT BEHIND A BOOK, A RECORD. This book, this record, called THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST, almost did not even get into the Bible, for the Book Of Enoch was also being considered. If this statement is to be taken in the most literal sense, it means EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS: THAT JOHN WILL COME BACK, AND WILL FOR A SECOND TIME PROPHESY TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. How will he do that? MOST LIKELY VIA TELEVISION, FOR THE ARRIVAL OF JOHN AND ELIJAH WILL BE TOP HEADLINE NEWS. THE WAR WILL BE ON!!!
The word "again" is "palin", which means ANEW, ONCE MORE, OR ONCE AGAIN. It implies a SECOND WITNESS, A NEW WITNESS, ANOTHER WITNESS. If we take all of these statement together, we do in fact find great evidence that JOHN IS COMING BACK, AS THE OLIVE BRANCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE TO WITNESS TO THE WORLD, AND TO BE A WITNESS FOR THE AGAPE LOVE OF CHRIST, AS OPPOSED TO THE PHILO LOVE OF LUCIFER, THE ANTICHRIST.
Thus the human race will be able to MAKE A CHOICE, and we are told that MULTITUDES COME TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, but the VAST MAJORITY HATE JOHN, HATE ELIJAH AND IN FACT GIVE PRESENTS TO EACH OTHER UPON THEIR DEATH. The BEAST EVENTUALLY WINS, AND KILLS THEM. So now we have slightly different perspective on who the TWO WITNESSES MIGHT BE, and we WAIT, WE WATCH, WE PRAY ALWAYS THAT WE WILL BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN. But would it not be a WONDERFUL THING TO BE ABLE TO SEE JOHN THE REVELATOR BEFORE OUR VERY EYES? Would that event NOT STIR THE BLOOD OF ALL OF GOD'S TRUE SERVANTS, AND GIVE THEM THE STRENGTH TO STAND AND TO DIE?
STAY TUNED AND LIFT UP YOUR HEAD, FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH!!
AMERICA, GOOD BY!!!
Now you might be wondering, how does all of this tie into the headline about the FALL OF THE UNITED STATES? When God decrees that a nation must fall, as He has openly stated AMERICA BABYLON MUST, WE WILL SEE MANY DIFFERENT THINGS COME DOWN ALL AT ONCE.
Just as KORAH and his group are coming together to forge their BABYLONIAN PRIESTHOOD and the LAMB BEAST, to fight against John and Elijah, so to will political events in the UNITED STATES begin to come to pass that spells the final death of our nation AS WE HAVE ALL KNOWN IT. These events are coming to pass, and with the INTRODUCTION OF THE ULTIMATUM OF LINDA THOMPSON AND HER MILITIA TO CONGRESS AND THE SENATE, ANOTHER PIECE OF THE PUZZLE IS COMING TOGETHER. BE WARNED, FOR AMERICA IS ABOUT TO FALL.
It is no light thing to watch your country fall apart, and not be able to do anything to stop it, for it is DECREED OF THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL THAT AMERICA FALL.
There are many, many Christians who are at heart RECONSTUCTIONISTS AND DOMINIONISTS, for they MIX TOGETHER PATRIOTISM, CHRISTIANITY, AND WANT TO TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK FOR "GOD" AND "CHRIST". They may not all subscribe to the dominionist viewpoints, but at the root of this urge to BRING THE NATION BACK TO THE CONSTITUTION AND TO CHRIST IS IN FACT RECONSTRUCTIONIST. It will fail.
THE TWO WITNESSES
WHO ARE THEY?
Whenever there is a rise of DECEPTION that is massive in nature, God always ALSO BRINGS THE TRUE, so that people have a CHOICE. If KORAH AND THE REBELLION ARE TO COME IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BE IN THIS JUNE THE OR NOT, and if that could be the arrival of LUCIFER, then is it possible we would also se the arrival of THE TWO WITNESSES OF GOD?
The two witness are found in Revelation 11:3-12. WHO ARE THEY, and WHAT IS THEIR TESTIMONY FOR? Is it in fact the FINAL OFFERING TO MAN FOR SALVATION? The word WITNESSES is #3144 in Strong's, and it is the word "martus', which means WITNESS, MARTYR, OR RECORD.
It has implications we must look at. These men of God bear THE RECORD OF GOD. They are, in that sense, REPRESENTATIVES OF THE WORD OF GOD. In other words, they would be individuals sent forth that would BEST REPRESENT THE NATURE AND CHARACTER OF GOD. There are two essential characteristics of God's nature that we need to be well aware of:
1. HIS JUDGMENT
2. HIS LOVE.
It is a fact of Scripture, even if REVERSED BY THE FALSE SHEPHERDS OF BABYLON, that THE JUDGMENT OF GOD PRECEDES HIS MERCY. You might think that a false statement, for GOD IS FULL OF MERCY AND EXTENDS IT TO THE VERY LAST MINUTE BEFORE HE LOWERS THE BOOM AND DESTROYS A SOUL.
However, if we look at the truth of AUTHENTIC SALVATION, AS TAUGHT BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, WE SEE IN ALL CASES THE JUDGMENT OF GOD PRECEDES HIS GRANTING IMMUNITY THROUGH THE WORK OF CHRIST. That is why Jesus called the GATE STRAIT. That is why He termed the WAY NARROW. It was Christ who said that the HOLY SPIRIT WAS SENT TO JUDGE THE WORLD OF SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ETERNAL DAMNATION.
It is the work of the HOLY SPIRIT TO FIRST JUDGE THE INDIVIDUAL SOUL, AND WHEN THAT JUDGMENT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, THE OFFER OF CLEMENCY THROUGH CHRIST IS GRANTED.
God says in many, many places that HE IS A GOD OF JUDGMENT, AND THAT HE LOVES JUDGMENT. He claims He loves to bring the HAUGHTY AND ARROGANT HUMAN HEART DOWN IN JUDGMENT. Why? Because it is the ONLY WAY HE CAN SAVE THE HUMAN SOUL. It has to be BROUGHT DOWN IN JUDGMENT AND DEATH, that it may be RESURRECTED IN NEWNESS OF LIFE. Therefore JUDGMENT PRECEDES MERCY.
The Old Testament is a book ABOUT JUDGMENT. It is a book filled with GRAVIES JUDGMENTS AGAINST GOD'S OWN PEOPLE AND THE NATIONS ROUND ABOUT ISRAEL. There are dire warnings of SEVERE JUDGMENT FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HEED THE WORD OF GOD.
Therefore it would seem that ONE OF THE WITNESS WOULD BE AN OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET THAT BROUGHT DOWN SEVERE JUDGMENT UPON ALL THAT WAS FALSE.
The other side of GOD is HIS MERCY, and HIS MERCY IS DERIVED FROM HIS LOVE. We can easily prove that the essence of God is HIS AGAPE LOVE. "GOD IS LOVE" says THE NEW TESTAMENT. Might it be possible then that THE OTHER WITNESS MIGHT BE ONE WHO BEST REPRESENTED THAT CHARACTERISTIC OF GOD'S NATURE? Paul describes this DUAL NATURE OF GOD, which has been forgotten by the America Christian:
"Behold therefore
GOODNESS
and
SEVERITY
of GOD:
on them which fell,
SEVERITY;
but toward thee,
GOODNESS,
IF THOU CONTINUE
IN HIS
GOODNESS:
OTHERWISE, THOU SHALT ALSO BE
CUT OFF."
(Romans 11:22)
THE WRATH OF GOD IS HIS SEVERITY. THE LOVE OF GOD IS HIS GOODNESS. If God were to witness to the WORLD in the FINAL END OF THINGS, and if it is HIS WILL THAT NONE SHOULD PERISH, then would he not send TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD REPRESENTS BOTH SIDES OF HIS PERSONALITY? Would He not send someone to WARN MANKIND OF IMPENDING DOOM, and yet at the SAME TIME, OFFER A HAND IN LOVE TO ALL THAT WOULD COME?
Christians have fought over THE IDENTITY OF THE TWO WITNESSES, but are we able to allow God TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO US? In other words, IF WE JUST READ THE WORD OF GOD CAREFULLY, COULD THE IDENTITY OF THE TWO WITNESSES BE ESTABLISHED AS A SURE THING? The identity of the TWO WITNESSES is almost the same things as attempting to identify the parameters laid down for the ANTICHRIST. We simply WILL NOT ACCEPT WHAT SCRIPTURES SAYS ABOUT IT. We say to ourselves, "This could not possibly BE TRUE."
In almost all cases, the witnesses have been identified as MOSES, ELIAS or ENOCH is sometimes mentioned, for HE DID NOT DIE, AND IT IS APPOINTED UNTO ALL MEN ONCE TO DIE.
We can prove directly from the Bible who ONE OF THEM IS, for it clearly stated that He was "Esaias" or ELIJAH. It is interesting to note how Elijah, Moses and Korah form a pattern for the LAST DAYS.
"And Elijah came unto ALL THE PEOPLE, and said,
HOW LONG
HALT YE
BETWEEN
TWO OPINIONS?
If THE LORD BE GOD, FOLLOW HIM;
but IF BAAL,
FOLLOW HIM.
AND THE PEOPLE
ANSWERED HIM NOT A WORD."
(1 Kings 18:21)
Now KORAH AND THE MEN OF RENOWN link up to BAAL IN THE LAST DAYS. It is the LAST AND FINAL SHOWDOWN OF JUST WHO IS THE REAL GOD. All people of the world will have to make a choice: EITHER BAAL AND ANTICHRIST ARE GOD, OR THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL IS GOD.. So how long, then, will the people of the world HALT BETWEEN THESE TWO SUPERNATURAL FORCES?
THE LAMB BEAST CLAIMS IT REPRESENTS GOD AND THE CHRIST. THE UNITED NATIONS CLAIMS IT IS THE LAST HOPE OF HUMANITY, AND QUOTES FROM SCRIPTURE. ALL OF THESE FORCES OF BAAL GATHER TOGETHER. In the case of Elijah, it was ONE AGAINST FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY FALSE PROPHETS, TEACHERS AND EVANGELISTS.
In the Tribulation, Elijah will have to prove who the Lord is, all over again to a hardened and skeptical world. Elijah claims that HE ALONE REMAINS THE ONLY PROPHET OF GOD. ALL THE OTHERS ARE PHONIES, LIARS, DECEIVERS.
"And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said,
LORD GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND OF ISRAEL,
LET IT BE KNOWN
THIS DAY
THAT THOU ART
GOD IN ISRAEL,
AND THAT
I AM THY SERVANT,
AND THAT I HAVE DONE ALL THESE THINGS
AT THY WORD.
HEAR ME, O LORD,
HEAR ME,
THAT THIS PEOPLE
MAY KNOW
THAT THOU ART
THE LORD GOD,
AND THAT THOU HAST TURNED THEIR HEART AGAIN."
(1 Kings 18:36-37)
And so the fire fell. And when it did, all of the people fell upon their faces to worship THE REAL GOD. The prophets of BAAL WERE ALL KILLED. It has the same ring to it has MOSES AND KORAH. It has the same ring to it AS REBELLION IN THE CAMP.
Does this prove that Elijah is one of the witnesses? No, but there is a direct statement that he is:
"BEHOLD,
I WILL SEND
YOU ELIJAH
THE PROPHET
BEFORE
THE COMING
OF THE
GREAT AND
DREADFUL
DAY OF THE LORD."
. (Malachi 4:5).
Notice it is BEFORE THE DAY OF THE LORD THAT ELIJAH COMES. That alone proves that the FIRST HALF OF THE TRIBULATION IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE "DAY OF THE LORD", for it is a day of judgment, a time of FIRE, OF TROUBLE, OF GLOOM AND DARKNESS.
The vast majority of Babylonian prophetic ministries will tell you that THE DAY OF THE LORD INCLUDES DANIEL'S 70th WEEK. It does not. THE DAY OF THE LORD IS ALWAYS PORTRAYED IN SCRIPTURE AS BEING A DAY OF FIRE, WRATH AND DARKNESS, never AS A "CONFIRMATION" OF A COVENANT.
As we have already proven that the GREAT DAY OF THE LORD BEGINS AFTER THE TEMPLE ABOMINATION, then ELIJAH AND THE OTHER WITNESS MUST APPEAR AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE TRIBULATION PERIOD. They must witness, it says in Revelation, for 1260 days before they are killed.
Thus it is that ELIJAH who is the OLD TESTAMENT WITNESS, comes to do battle with LUCIFER AND THE FALSE PROPHET. Who is the OTHER WITNESS?
In Zechariah, we get a glimpse of who it MIGHT BE.
"And he said unto me, WHAT SEEST THOU? And I said, I have looked, and behold
A CANDLESTICK
ALL OF GOLD,
WITH A BOWL UPON THE TOP OF IT,
AND HIS
SEVEN LAMPS
THEREON, AND
SEVEN PIPES
TO THE
SEVEN LAMPS,
WHICH ARE UPON
THE TOP THEREFOR.
AND
TWO
OLIVE TREES
BY IT,
ONE UPON
THE RIGHT SIDE
OF THE BOWL,
AND THE OTHER
ON THE
LEFT SIDE
THEREOF."
(Zechariah 4:2-3)
So we have CANDLESTICK WITH SEVEN LAMPS MADE OF GOLD. WE ALSO HAVE TWO OLIVE TREES, ONE TO THE RIGHT, AND ONE TO THE LEFT.
"Then answered I, and said unto him, What are THESE TWO OLIVE TRESS
UPON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CANDLESTICK AND UPON THE LEFT SIDE THEREOF?
And I answered again, and said unto him, WHAT BE THESE
TWO OLIVE BRANCHES
WHICH THROUGH
THE TWO GOLDEN PIPES
EMPTY THEMSELVES?
And he answered me and said, KNOWEST THOU NOT WHAT THESE BE? And I said, NO, MY LORD.
Then said he, THESE ARE THE
TWO ANOINTED ONES,
THAT STAND
BY THE LORD
OF THE
WHOLE EARTH."
(Zechariah 4:11-14).
Notice we have TWO OLIVE TREES, AND TWO OLIVE BRANCHES, AND TWO ANOINTED ONES. Notice that ONE STANDS UPON THE RIGHT SIDE, THE OTHER TO THE LEFT SIDE.
We now move to Revelation and to find out what we can there about all of this:
"And I shall give power unto my
TWO WITNESSES.
AND THEY SHALL
PROPHESY A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREESCORE DAYS, CLOTHED IN SACKCLOTH.
THESE ARE THE
TWO OLIVE TREES,
AND
THE
TWO CANDLESTICKS STANDING BEFORE THE GOD OF THE EARTH."
(Revelation 11:3-4).
Again we find the number TWO. Is the key found in WHERE THEY STAND IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE GOLDEN LAMPSTAND WITH THE SEVEN LAMPS? ONE ON THE RIGHT, THE OTHER ON THE LEFT?
Notice that these OLIVE TREES ARE TWO LAMPS. Lamps give off LIGHT. Zechariah said THEY WERE ANOINTED. What GIVES OFF LIGHT THAT IS ANOINTED? Is not the WORD OF THE LORD ANOINTED? DOES IT NOT GIVE LIGHT TO A WORLD IN DARKNESS?
It is interesting that the WORD OF THE LORD IS DIVIDED INTO TWO DISTINCT WITNESSES, and that BY TWO OR MORE WITNESSES IS A THING ESTABLISHED.
We have the OLD TESTAMENT, WHICH WAS ANOINTED BY GOD, WHICH WAS THE LIGHT FOR ISRAEL BEFORE CHRIST, WHICH WE WOULD PLACE ON THE LEFT. We then have THE NEW TESTAMENT, THE LIGHT FOR THE CHURCH AGE, AND CHRIST IS ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER. If this be true, THEN THE LEFT OLIVE TREE MOST LIKELY REPRESENTS THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE WORD OF GOD IN IT IS THE ANOINTED ONE OF GOD FOR ISRAEL.
Likewise the OLIVE TREE ON THE RIGHT WOULD REPRESENT THE NEW TESTAMENT, AND WORD OF GOD IS THE ANOINTED ONE FOR THE CHURCH. We therefore have TWO WITNESSES. Both of these witnesses TESTIFY OF THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: JESUS CHRIST.
The Old Testament was a TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST BEFORE HIS REVELATION. HE IS FOUND ALL OVER IT. THE NEW TESTAMENT IS A WITNESS TO HIS LIFE, AND FULFILLS THE OLD TESTAMENT. Thus the OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT MEET AT THE CROSS ON CALVARY. THE CROSS ON CALVARY REPRESENTS THE TWO ASPECTS OF GOD:
1. HIS JUDGMENT
2. HIS LOVE.
We are back where we began, to the two PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD. Who then, would best represent those characteristics?
But it is obvious that you cannot kill the Word of God, and that we are dealing here with TWO LIVING PEOPLE. THEY ARE TWO OLIVE TREES. Now Israel is called both a FIG TREE and an OLIVE TREE in the OLD TESTAMENT. Paul said that THE CHURCH IS A BRANCH GRAFTED INTO THE OLIVE TREE, AND ALSO CALLED IT A WILD OLIVE TREE. Zechariah said that there are TWO OLIVE TREES, AND TWO BRANCHES. ONE BRACH IS ON THE RIGHT, THE OTHER ON THE LEFT.
Paul said we are WILD OLIVE BRANCHES, BEING GRAFTED INTO THE GOOD OLIVE TREE. Because we are of CHRIST, and IN CHRIST, we SIT ON THE RIGHT. We could therefore CONCLUDE THAT ONE OF THE BRANCHES, ONE OF THE TREES IS IN FACT A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. If this is so, then it is also a fact that ELIJAH IS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT.
Now before Christ came there was A WITNESS CALLED JOHN THE BAPTIST. John the Baptist brought a message of JUDGMENT. He said JUDGMENT WAS ON THE WAY, AND CALLED FOR "REPENTANCE" SO WE COULD ALL AVOID THE COMING JUDGMENT. "Repent" was the message of the day. Christ said that John the Baptist was ELIJAH if the JEWS WOULD HAVE BELIEVED. So we have an IMPLIED REMARK THAT ELIJAH IS ALWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ADVENTS OF THE LORD TO EARTH.
If Elijah is the most representative figure for the OLD TESTAMENT, then who would be the MOST LIKELY FIGURE TO REPRESENT THE NEW TESTAMENT?
To answer that one, we need only look at what THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IS, AND WHAT TRUE SALVATION ENTAILS. If we do that on an objective basis, we come up with AGAPE LOVE IS THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, and is THE SPIRIT OF REGENERATION, OF A NEW HEART MADE IN THE "IMAGE" OF GOD.
Who, of all of the writers in the NEW TESTAMENT, SPOKE ABOUT, AND TAUGHT ABOUT THE AGAPE LOVE OF CHRIST? Who more than ANY OTHER DID THIS, and WHO WAS THE DISCIPLE THAT CHRIST LOVED?
You got it, IT IS THE APOSTLE JOHN. Did you know there is NO RECORD OF THE DEATH OF JOHN? Could it be that HE DID NOT DIE? The odds are very high that John the Revelator will be THE OTHER WITNESS. If this is true, we should find some DIRECT STATEMENTS BY JOHN OR CHRIST TO PROVE IT IS SO. And we should find it in the Old Testament as well!!
Zechariah makes an interesting statement in the discourse about the TWO WITNESSES, THE TWO OLIVE TREES, THE TWO BRANCHES. Read it carefully, for it concerns the SPIRIT OF THE LORD:
"Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerub-ba-bel, saying,
NOT BY MIGHT,
NOR BY POWER,
BUT BY
MY SPIRIT,
SAITH THE
LORD OF HOSTS."
(Zechariah 4:6)
If the battle is to be eventually won NOT BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER, BUT BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, and we know that the SPIRIT OF GOD IS AGAPE, then THE ONE OF THE FINAL BATTLES UPON EARTH WILL INCLUDE THE WEAPON OF AGAPE LOVE. There is no power upon earth greater than THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD. There is a power on earth that all men know and recognize: LOVE. HUMAN LOVE RELEASED.
Part of the STRONG DELUSION THAT GOD CASTS DOWN UPON EARTH WILL BE THAT HUMAN LOVE RELEASED IS THE AGAPE LOVE OF GOD. Human UNREGENERATE LOVE WILL BE THE "GLUE" OF LUCIFER AND HIS DOMINIONS.
Peter made this very same mistake in his exchange with the resurrected Christ. Christ confronted Peter with the question AGAPE LOVETH THOU ME? Peter replied YES HE DID, AND THEN SUBSTITUTED NATURAL HUMAN LOVE (PHILEO) FOR AGAPE. This is exactly what the NEW AGE MOVEMENT AND THE RELIGIONS OF MAN ATTEMPT TO DO.
The bottom of this whole thing is a REFUSAL TO COMPLY WITH THE COMMANDS OF JESUS CHRIST TO PICK UP THE CROSS AND DIE THE DEATH. Without LOSING YOUR LIFE HERE, you WILL NEVER OBTAIN THE RESURRECTED LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST.
This is why ANTICHRIST CANNOT STAND THE TRUE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY ANOINTED OF GOD TO GIVE MANKIND AGAPE LOVE, AND THUS BE SAVED. The ANTICHRIST HUMAN HEART CANNOT BEAR THAT MESSAGE. It wishes to EXHAULT ITSELF AND CLAIMS IT CAN DO AS PETER DID: LOVE WITH A HUMAN LOVE, WHICH IS, THEY CLAIM, AS GOOD AS THE LOVE OF GOD!!
The United Nations is already under the delusion with their phony PEACE, LOVE AND BROTHERHOOD. They invade sovereign nations, they kill, they set up their United Nations approved puppet governments, all in the NAME OF LOVE. LOVE IS THE GLUE OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER. WHEN LUCIFER ARRIVES HE WILL UNLOCK THE FLOOD GATES THAT BAR THE RELEASE OF HUMAN LOVE TO OTHERS.
This RISE OF THE HUMAN BEING TO A NEW LEVEL OF "CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS' brought about by manufactured crisis, WILL BE A HUMAN LOVE RELEASE. You will see more acts of charity and kindness than you ever dreamed possible. LOVE WILL BE THE BYWORD, and is rapidly becoming so in all spheres of human activity. But the love of man is not love at all, but filled with DECEPTION. It will be LOVE that dissolves all the boundaries between the religions of man, and casts aside all the doctrines that divide. The occult has long said it is so, and they know more than the Christians, because the Children of Darkness and wiser than the Children of Light.
Now it is a fact that the TRUE ELECT OF THE LORD, HIS CHOSEN ONES, KNOW THE DIFFERENCE between HUMAN LOVE AND THE AGAPE LOVE OF GOD. They know the difference because they walked the walk of THE CROSS, AND DIED, AND WERE THEN SHOWN THE AGAPE LOVE OF GOD, which is ALIEN TO THE HUMAN RACE, UNKNOWN, AND HIDDEN, A GREAT MYSTERY.
Our modern day Church, the church of "Korah", of Cain and of Baal, REFUSED THE STRAIT GATE AND NARROW WAY, AND INVENTED A NEW THEOLOGY THAT BYPASSED THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST. Because they have sidestepped the commands of Jesus Christ, they DO NOT KNOW WHAT TRUE AGAPE IS, FOR IT HAS NEVER BEEN REVEALED UNTO THEM.
However, THEY CLAIM THEY DO KNOW WHAT IT IS, AND THAT TREY HAVE IT, that they are REGENERATED AND THE SONS OF GOD. They are UNDER THE STRONG DELUSION, AND THEREFORE MUST AND WILL GO UNDER LUCIFER AND THE FALSE PROPHET'S POWER.
Now if God is full of mercy, and compassion, and it is true that He wishes NOT ANY TO PERISH, is it possible that He would SEND TO EARTH A TRUE REPRESENTATIVE OF AGAPE LOVE, SO THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH COULD SEE IT, WITNESS IT, AND LOOK UPON IT? They had Christ, but REJECTED HIM. Would God send the human race JOHN THE REVELATOR to give them one more look, ONE MORE CHANCE? They COULD THEN MAKE A CHOICE, AND NOT HALT BETWEEN TWO POSITIONS. They could elect YEA OR NAY. The dividing line would be VERY EVIDENT.
Agape love IS NOT viewed as love in the world. Christ was killed because of HIS LOVE. The true Christians have always been killed because of THEIR LOVE. THEIR LOVE REQUIRES THEM TO WITNESS. IT REQUIRES THEM TO WARN. IT REQUIRES THEM NOT TO COUNT THE COST, FOR IT IS UNCONDITIONAL, AND IT IS OF CHRIST. The agape love of Christ will not tolerate false doctrine for it knows that false doctrine can slay the soul for all eternity, and that IT MUST STAND UPON ONLY THE TRUTH. The agape love of Christ is therefore looked upon by man as being INTOLERANT, A FORM OF HATRED, AND IT WILL RISE UP AGAINST IT, AND KILL THE REAL LOVE BRINGERS. It has always been so.
With that, we will now see if we find ANY REFERENCE TO THE FACT THAT JOHN THE REVELATOR MIGHT RETURN TO EARTH TO FULFILL HIS MISSION. After all, if John was coming back, we should find some references to that fact, and they might be very clear and direct, or in implication. We are going to start in John 21, when Christ and Peter had their argument over the AGAPE LOVE, PHILEO LOVE VALUES AND WHAT HUMAN LOVE WAS REALLY WORTH. Peter, in verse 18, was informed that HE was going to DIE ON THE CROSS WHEN HE WAS OLD. Peter was going to GLORIFY GOD BY A DEATH PETER WOULD NOT WANT, BUT WOULD DO ANYWAY.
Peter was sort of upset over all of this, and so he says to Christ:
"Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, LORD, AND WHAT SHALL THIS MAN DO?" (John 21:20-21).
Peter, annoyed that he will die as an OLD MAN (which denies imminence), asks Jesus about John, and how JOHN WAS GOING TO DIE. The answer is very strange, top say the least. Read it carefully:
"Jesus saith unto him,
IF
I WILL
THAT HE TARRY
TILL I COME,
WHAT IS THAT TO THEE?
FOLLOW THOU ME."
(John 21:22).
Read it again. Jesus says to Peter, IF IT IS MY WILL THAT JOHN DOES NOT DIE UNTIL MY COMING WHAT IS THAT TO THEE?
The word tarry is " meno" and it means TO CONTINUE, TO ABIDE WITH, TO STAY, TO REMAIN, TO ENDURE, TO DWELL WITH. The word "come" is also interesting. It means to ACCOMPANY, TO APPEAR. So this is indeed a very strange answer to give concerning the death of John. JOHN WILL REMAIN WITH JESUS UNTIL HIS ARRIVAL. This remark was SO STRANGE it disturbed the disciples:
"Then went this saying abroad among the BRETHREN, THAT
THIS DISCIPLE
SHOULD N0T DIE;
YET JESUS SAID
NOT UNTO HIM,
HE SHALL NOT DIE,
BUT, IF I WILL
THAT HE TARRY
TILL I COME,
WHAT IS THAT
TO THEE?"
(John 21:23).
Now the point of the debate between the BRETHREN was that JOHN SHOULD NOT DIE. But Jesus never said HE WOULD NOT DIE, BUT THAT HE WOULD TARRY WITH JESUS UNTIL JESUS CAME TO EARTH AGAIN. HE WOULD THEN, AT THAT TIME DIE.
This would be true, because if John is the SECOND WITNESS, HE WILL DIE. It is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment.
So we do have a direct statement from Jesus Christ that John will not die until his APPEARING. He will tarry with CHRIST, IN UNION, UNTIL THE ARRIVAL TIME COMES.
Are there any other statements that would seem to confirm this fact?
"I John,
who also AM YOUR BROTHER, AND
COMPANION IN
(THE) TRIBULATION,
AND
IN THE KINGDOM
AND PATIENCE OF
JESUS CHRIST,
WAS
IN THE ISLAND
OF PAT-MOS,
FOR THE WORD OF GOD, AND FOR
THE TESTIMONY
OF JESUS CHRIST."
(Revelation 1:9)
The most accurate translation is AND COMPANION IN "THE TRIBULATION". How can John be a companion with us DURING THE TRIBULATION UNLESS HE IS HERE UPON EARTH TO EXPERIENCE IT? Is this a statement direct from John that HE WILL BE BACK AS ONE OF THE WITNESSES? We then find this intriguing statement from John:
"And he said unto me,
THOU
MUST PROPHESY
AGAIN
BEFORE
MANY PEOPLES,
AND NATIONS,
AND TONGUES,
AND KINGS."
(Revelation 10:11).
Now at first glance, one might just think that means John is going to WRITE MORE OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION, but that is not what it says. It very clearly says that JOHN WILL ONCE AGAIN, FOR A SECOND TIME, PROPHESY BEFORE MANY PEOPLES. He did not do so the first time. HE WAS IN EXILE. HE WAS ALONE. HE LEFT BEHIND A BOOK, A RECORD. This book, this record, called THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST, almost did not even get into the Bible, for the Book Of Enoch was also being considered.
If this statement is to be taken in the most literal sense, it means EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS: THAT JOHN WILL COME BACK, AND WILL FOR A SECOND TIME PROPHESY TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. How will he do that? MOST LIKELY VIA TELEVISION, FOR THE ARRIVAL OF JOHN AND ELIJAH WILL BE TOP HEADLINE NEWS. THE WAR WILL BE ON!!!
The word "again" is "palin", which means ANEW, ONCE MORE, OR ONCE AGAIN. It implies a SECOND WITNESS, A NEW WITNESS, ANOTHER WITNESS. If we take all of these statement together, we do in fact find great evidence that JOHN IS COMING BACK, AS THE OLIVE BRANCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE TO WITNESS TO THE WORLD, AND TO BE A WITNESS FOR THE AGAPE LOVE OF CHRIST, AS OPPOSED TO THE PHILO LOVE OF LUCIFER, THE ANTICHRIST.
Thus the human race will be able to MAKE A CHOICE, and we are told that MULTITUDES COME TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, but the VAST MAJORITY HATE JOHN, HATE ELIJAH AND IN FACT GIVE PRESENTS TO EACH OTHER UPON THEIR DEATH. The BEAST EVENTUALLY WINS, AND KILLS THEM.
So now we have slightly different perspective on who the TWO WITNESSES MIGHT BE, and we WAIT, WE WATCH, WE PRAY ALWAYS THAT WE WILL BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN. But would it not be a WONDERFUL THING TO BE ABLE TO SEE JOHN THE REVELATOR BEFORE OUR VERY EYES? Would that event NOT STIR THE BLOOD OF ALL OF GOD'S TRUE SERVANTS, AND GIVE THEM THE STRENGTH TO STAND AND TO DIE?
STAY TUNED AND LIFT UP YOUR HEAD, FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH!!
AMERICA, GOOD BY!!!
Now you might be wondering, how does all of this tie into the headline about the FALL OF THE UNITED STATES? When God decrees that a nation must fall, as He has openly stated AMERICA BABYLON MUST, WE WILL SEE MANY DIFFERENT THINGS COME DOWN ALL AT ONCE.
Just as KORAH and his group are coming together to forge their BABYLONIAN PRIESTHOOD and the LAMB BEAST, to fight against John and Elijah, so to will political events in the UNITED STATES begin to come to pass that spells the final death of our nation AS WE HAVE ALL KNOWN IT. These events are coming to pass, and with the INTRODUCTION OF THE ULTIMATUM OF LINDA THOMPSON AND HER MILITIA TO CONGRESS AND THE SENATE, ANOTHER PIECE OF THE PUZZLE IS COMING TOGETHER. BE WARNED, FOR AMERICA IS ABOUT TO FALL. It is no light thing to watch your country fall apart, and not be able to do anything to stop it, for it is DECREED OF THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL THAT AMERICA FALL.
There are many, many Christians who are at heart RECONSTUCTIONISTS AND DOMINIONISTS, for they MIX TOGETHER PATRIOTISM, CHRISTIANITY, AND WANT TO TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK FOR "GOD" AND "CHRIST". They may not all subscribe to the dominionist viewpoints, but at the root of this urge to BRING THE NATION BACK TO THE CONSTITUTION AND TO CHRIST IS IN FACT RECONSTRUCTIONIST. It will fail.
