Who are the two witnesses in the book of Revelation?
“And after three days and an half the RUACH of life from G-d entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.” —Revelation 11:11
They will know their JAHOVAH . They shall be strong and do exploits.
As pressure for an “international” solution to the Middle East problem mounts with each passing bullet, let us consider what the prophecies forecast for the times just ahead.
. There will be a war in heaven(-7th month of 5777). sa-tan will be forbidden access to heaven and will no longer be able to function as the “accuser of the brethren.”after s-atan will be cast out into the earth after that beast will walk into JAHOVAH temple, stop the sacrifices and claim to be Mašijah and G-d. This event, called in the Bible the “abomination of desolation,” will trigger Satan’s 3 1/2 year war against the saints. This time of great tribulation is described in Revelation 13:5-7.
“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against JAHOVAH , to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
It appears that this time of tribulation will come first upon the Jewish settlers of Judea, and then will spread from there to Christians the world over (Revelation 12:13,17). But that’s only half of the picture. The other half, much overlooked, is recorded in Daniel 11:32: “And they that know their JAHOVAH shall be strong and do exploits.” Who is this referring to? Let’s look closer.
Daniel 11:31 records the abomination of desolation. That is when Sa-tan begins his 3 1/2-year power trip. But it’s also the same time that two prophets from HAKADOŠ JAHOVAH receive power from on high for the same 3 1/2 years. This is recorded in Revelation 11:3: “And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days.” The great tribulation will feature the classic battle-good vs. evil.
The time for the ministry of the Two Witnesses is close(YEAR 5777 STARTS IN MOUNTH Of ABIB !!!). They are certainly alive on earth right now, but we don’t yet know who they are.
The account of the Two Witnesses comes to us sandwiched in the midst of the account of the Seven Trumpets of Revelation. Specifically, we read of them between the 6th and 7th Trumpets. Their ministry, therefore, begins after the 6th Trumpet war and continues until the sounding of the 7th Trumpet. Much debate has raged over these two special prophets of JAHOVAH . Who are they?
Is one of the two witnesses Elijahu?
Some have argued very persuasively that one of the Two Witnesses must be Elijahu. In Malachi 4:5 we have this prophecy: “Behold, I will send you Elijahu the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the JAHOVAH .”
It is because of this prophecy that the Jewish people have long looked for Elijahu to come, announcing the arrival of the mašijah.
Back to Malachi’s “I will send you Elijahu before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the JAHOVAH .”
Many of the Juda people of the 1st Century puzzled over whether or not this man named Ješua was, in fact, the Mašijah. He fed 5,000 with five loaves and two fish. He raised the dead, walked on water, opened blind eyes…What more would Mašijah do when He came?
One day the disciples came to JEŠUA asking, if you are Mašijah , then where is Elijahu? They knew the prophecy said that Elijahu must come before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the JAHOVAH EL AVRAHAM JICCHAK JAKOV.
MARK 9:9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijahu must first come?12 And he answered and told them, Elijahu verily cometh first, and restoreth all things(ordinary man who comes in ruach Elijahu); and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.13 But I say unto you, That Elijahu is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed ,as it is written of him.
ELISHA RECIEVED DOUBLE OF THE RUACH(SPIRIT) OF ELIJAHU ,BUT HE WAS NOT ELIJAHU!!!
JEŠUA answered in Matthew 17:12-13:”But I say unto you, That ELIJAHU is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that He spake unto them of JOCHANAN John the Baptist.”
lukas 1:11 and there appeared unto him an angel of the JAHOVAH standing on the right side of the altar of incense.12and when Zakari saw him he was troubled ,and fear fell upon him13 But the angel said unto him ,Fear not ,Zakari :for thy prayer is heard,and thy wife Eliševa shall bear thee son ,and thou shalt call his name JOCHANAN -john14And thou shalt have joy and gladness,and many shall rejoice his birth.15For he shall be great in the sight of the JAHOVAH ,and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink,and shall be filled with RUACH HAKADOŠ -SPIRIT ,even from his mother womb
16and many of the children of Jisrael shall he turn to the Jahovah their EL.
17And he shall go before him in the RUACH (SPIRIT)AND POWERS OF ELIJAHU ,to turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just ,to make ready people prepared for the JAHOVAH.
SO JOCHANAN THE BAPTIST WAS NOT ANATOMY ELIJAHU ,BUT IN HIS RUACH!!! SO AS ELISHA .
JOCHANAN THE BAPTIST HIMSELF IN JOCHANAN jOHN 1:21 SAID THAT HE IS NOT ELIJAHU NOR PROPHET (JEŠUA) WHEN LEVI ASKED HIM ,BUT JEŠUA HAMAŠIJAH CONFIRMED HIM THAT HE IS ELIJAHU !!!HOW???.ACCORDING THE BODY HE WAS NOT ELIJAHU ,BUT HE HAD ELIJAHU RUACH !!!!SO AS ELISHA RECIEVED DOUBLE OF THE RUACH(SPIRIT OF ELIJAHU ,BUT HE WAS NOT ELIJAHU!!!
TODAY ELIJAHU IS ORDINARY MAN WHO IS NOT ELIJAHU ACCORDING OF THE BODY, BUT HE HAS RUACH OF ELIJAHU!!!!!
MALAKI 4
Mentioned above was the prophecy of Malachi 4:5-6 that “Elijahu” the prophet would be sent with a warning message “before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the JAHOVAH .” The “day of the JAHOVAH ” will not occur until the very end of this age when Divine intervention occurs and JEŠUA HAMAŠIJAH returns. However, JEŠUA HAMAŠIJAH himself stated that this prophecy had another, previous fulfillment. In both MATITJAHU-Matthew 11:14 and 17:11-12, Ješua declared that John the Baptist was the “Elijahu” who had come on the scène just prior to Ješua hamašijah ’s ministry. Christians need to take this at face value.Jochanan - John the Baptist’s ministry was an earlier fulfillment of this prophecy as well. However, it is equally obvious that the “day of the Jahovah ” did not occur during or immediately after the ministries of John the Baptist and Ješua hamašijah . The obvious conclusion is that Malachi 4’s prophecy will have a dual fulfillment. It should also be pointed out that ješua’s words that John the Baptist (not Elijahu) fulfilled a prophecy about “Elijahu” confirms that Malachi 4’s prophecy does not mean Elijahu himself will be resurrected to reprise his role as a prophet in the latter days. Just as John the Baptist was not the resurrected prophet named Elijahu, neither of the two witnesses will be the resurrected Elijahu either.
2 kings:1:9
9When they had crossed over, Elijahu said to Elisha, “Request whatever I might do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha answered, “May I receive a double portion of your RUACH -spirit.” 10 He replied, “You have asked something that is not easy. Still, if you see me taken up from you, your wish will be granted; otherwise not.” 11 As they walked on still conversing, a fiery chariot and fiery horses came between the two of them, and Elijahu went up to heaven in a whirlwind, 12 and Elisha saw it happen. He cried out, “My father! my father!JISRAEL chariot and steeds!” Then he saw him no longerHe gripped his own garment, tore it into two pieces, 13 and picked up the mantle which had fallen from Elijahu. Then he went back and stood at the bank of the Jordan. 14 Wielding the mantle which had fallen from Elijah, he struck the water and said, “The adonaj , the Jahovah EL of Elijahu—where is he now?” He struck the water: it divided, and he crossed over.15 The guild prophets in Jericho, who were on the other side, saw him and said, “The RUACH spirit of Elijahu rests on Elisha.” They went to meet him, bowing to the ground before him
ELISHA recieved RUACH OF ELIJAHU ,BUT HE WAS NOT ELIJAHU!!!
Every person must die
Many have insisted that Elijahu must be one of the Two Witnesses because he was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind and did not experience death. Hebrews 9:27 teaches that it is appointed unto men once to die. They contend that Elijahu’s required death will be accomplished when he dies as one of the Two Witnesses.
There is a glaring flaw in this logic. Scripture teaches that the saved on earth at the time of the rapture will never see death. I Corinthians 15:51-54 tells us that we shall not all sleep (die), but that we shall all be changed from mortal to immortality at the last trump. Once we are immortal, we will certainly not be able to come back later and die. If we don’t have to come back to die after the rapture, then Elijahu certainly doesn’t have to come back and die either.
Are the two witnesses Moše and Elijahu?
Another reason many have thought Elijahu would be one of the Two Witnesses is found in MATITJAHU(Matthew) 17:1-3. It says, “And after six days Ješua taketh Petros, James, and Jochanan his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moše and Elijahu talking with him.” Here, on the Mount of Transfiguration, both Moše and Elijahu appeared with Ješua.
Revelation 11:4 describes the Two Witnesses as “the two olive trees” and “the two candlesticks,” which stand before the HAKADOŠ JAHOVAH of the earth. Since Moše and Elijahu appeared with Ješua on the Mount of Transfiguration, many have concluded that they are these “two olive trees.”
Another factor that adds credence to the possibility is found by studying Revelation 11:5-6. In these verses we find the Two Witnesses performing the same miracles that Moše and Elijahu were noted for during their ministries. If any man tries to hurt them, fire will proceed out of their mouths and devour their enemies.
Remember that Elijahu pulled down fire from heaven and devoured his enemies at one point. The Two Witnesses will have power to cause a drought for the 3 1/2 years of their ministry. Elijahu had the power to do the same. They will have power to turn waters into blood. Moše did that in micrajimThe Two Witnesses will have the power to smite the earth with all plagues. This again reminds of the ministry of Moše.
Now for the problems with this view: The Bible states that Moše died and JAHOVAH buried him. If Moše were to be one of the Two Witnesses, he would have to be reincarnated and then die the second time. Elijahu would also have to be reincarnated since by now he would be nearly 3,000 years old.
We don’t have one example of reincarnation in the Bible. We also don’t have any record where a person from a previous generation came back to earth to preach. These factors preclude, in my mind, the possibility of Moše and Elijahu returning to earth as the Two Witnesses.
Do Two Witnesses symbolize Israel and the church?
Another very prominent opinion states that the Two Witnesses represent the Jewish and the Gentile church. This is not illogical since symbols are used prominently throughout the book of Revelation. Here is the reason some people believe this theory:
In Romans 11:24-25, the Apostle ŠAUL refers to Israel as the tame olive tree and to the Gentiles as a wild olive tree. Revelation 11:4 says the Two Witnesses are “the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the JAHOVAH G-d of the earth.” From these two passages it has been deduced that there would be, in the end time, a Gentile church and a Jewish church witnessing in the earth.
To some, this is quite a persuasive argument. However, the prophecy concerning the Two Witnesses calls them two prophets. It also says they will be killed and lie in the street for three and one-half days. I see no logical way that a nation or a church could be killed and lay in the streets. These two prophets will be two literal men.
Conclusion
The Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 will not be the Jewish and the Gentile church. They will not be Moše and Elijahu reincarnated.
Jochanan John the Baptist was not literally Elijahu; yet Ješua hamašijah said that he fulfilled the Elijahu prophecy because he came in the ruach(spirit) and power of Elijahu. Likewise, the Two Witnesses will be two ordinary people that apparently come in the spirit and power of EL ŠADAJ THAT Moše and Elijahu had . These two prophets are for sure live on this earth right now, and are being prepared by Jahovah for the ministry for which they have been ordained.
The time for the revelation of the Antichrist and False Prophet is near(TWO BEASTS!!!!). These two men will be sa-tan’s two witnesses.
HAKADOŠ JAHOVAH has an answer for Satan’s move. He will present also His Two Witnesses to the world. They will preach the full truth of hakadoš JAHOVAH Word for three and one-half years. They will then die in Jerusalem. After 3 1/2 days, they will be resurrected and caught up into the šamajim kingdom of heaven.
Yes, sa-tan’s messengers will deceive the world and corrupt the people of the world by his flatteries. But, the people who know theirHAKADOŠ JAHOVAH shall be strong and do exploits!
