The book of Revelation tells us about many events that will happen in the last days, but what can we learn from it today? Although it seems that many of the events described in the book have not happened yet, we can see that the two witnesses of the Apocalypse are already here. These two witnesses are prophets that God has sent into this world to warn people of events to come. If we read the book correctly, we can learn a lot from them and be prepared for what is to come.
What about the two witnesses of the Apocalypse?
The two witnesses of the Apocalypse are an important figure in the book of Revelation. They appear in chapter 11, verses 3-12. They are mentioned as “the witnesses”, “the prophets” or “the two olive trees”.
The two witnesses are prophets who have the power to perform miracles, such as turning water into blood and causing plagues. They will preach for 1,260 days, until an evil being called “the monster that rises from the abyss” will kill them. However, the two witnesses will be resurrected and ascend to heaven on a cloud, leaving their enemies stunned.
Chapter 11 does not say who the two witnesses are, but there is much speculation. Some believe they are Moses and Elijah, since they appeared with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17:3). Other possible identities include the apostles Peter and Paul, or the prophets John the Baptist and John the Evangelist.
Whatever their identity, the two witnesses of the Apocalypse symbolize God’s faithfulness and resistance to the forces of evil. His death and resurrection signal that while evil may triumph for a while, God will always have the last word.
What are the witnesses according to the Bible
The Bible tells us that there are two types of witnesses: eyewitnesses and hearsay witnesses.
Eyewitnesses: Eyewitnesses are those who have seen something with their own eyes. In most cases, they are eyewitnesses to an event. In John 1:14, the apostle John says that he was an eyewitness to the glory of Christ.
Hearsay Witnesses: Hearsay witnesses are those who have not seen something with their own eyes, but have heard about it from a reliable source. In most cases, hearsay witnesses are secondhand witnesses. However, this does not mean that their testimonials are any less valid. In Acts 10:39-41, Peter says that he was an hearsay witness of Christ’s resurrection.
In short, eyewitnesses are those who have seen something with their own eyes, while hearsay witnesses are those who have heard about something from a reliable source. In both cases, the testimonials are valid.
What does the Bible say in Revelation 11 1
In the book of Revelation, chapter 11, verse 1, it reads:
“Then he gave me a reed like a rod, and said to me: ‘Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship there. ‘»
This verse is found in the context of the second coming of Christ, when he will establish his eternal kingdom. In this verse, God tells John to measure God’s temple and altar, and those who worship there. This means that God has a specific plan for those who worship in his temple, and that he has measured and found them acceptable.
Since the beginning of Creation, God has established two witnesses to be present at all important events. In the book of Revelation, we are told that these two witnesses are Enoch and Elijah. Enoch was the first man to be taken up into heaven alive, and Elijah was the prophet who never died. Both witnesses are present in the world today, and they are here to testify of the end times.
