Two controversial figures, mentioned in the Book of Revelation as two witnesses, two olive trees, two candlesticks, and two prophets, will boldly declare THE JUDGMENTS OF GOD and proclaim THE CONTROVERSY OF THE LORD (Micah 3:8; 6:1-2), delivering a A BROAD MESSAGE and BURNING DOOM – just before it RAINS NUCLEAR FIRE AND BRIMSTONE on those who have rejected GOD’S ULTIMATE (Isaiah 41:27; 30:27)!
The wise will hear this THUNDER and take shelter (Revelation 10; Proverbs 27:12). History is said to repeat itself because no one heard it the first time. Who listens today? Does anyone care? THE MESSAGE IS LOUD AND CLEAR! Another HOLOCAUST is coming! That warning must roar from Jerusalem! That is the sensitive place where God will provoke a NATIONAL DEBATE and ignite an INTERNATIONAL CONTROVERSY! (Jeremiah 15:10; Revelation 11:10).
It will shock the Jews and anger the Germans! Both will want to immediately stop such “incitement” – calling it scary and racist – but such persecution will only fan the flames of this BURNING ISSUE (Isaiah 54:15-16)! God will make sure that everyone, from the smallest to the largest, has had the opportunity to LISTEN AND ATTEND (Jeremiah 5:4-5).
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). The historical precedent has been set. We are not an exception or invincible (Luke 13:3). Europe is already preparing while we are on our deathbeds: victims of tradition. THE UNITED STATES IS GOING TO FOLD, THE BRITISH COMMUNITY IS IN CAPTIVITY, AND ISRAEL IS GOING TO BE OCCUPIED!
Before the invasion and occupation of the State of Israel by Europe, God will have stationed two men, specially trained for this mission, in Jerusalem. They must give notice that Jerusalem and Israel they belong to God. These two men are witnesses that God will choose Jerusalem again. They will not rest until Zion fulfills his call (Isaiah 62:6-7). They can foresee the future with such clarity that it is as if it was made for them (Romans 4:17). Since they know for sure what is going to happen, they can give an accurate forecast!
Why are there two of them? For several reasons: God’s Law requires two or three witnesses to testify before the judge can pass sentence; they are the eyes of Israel, to illuminate them and help them see what is happening; and represent the Church and the State of God.
The prophet Zechariah first mentions these two. He saw them represented as two olive trees, standing next to a gold menorah, one on each side. When he asked the angel of God what it all meant, he was told, “These are the two anointed, who are with the Lord of all the earth” (Zechariah 4:14).
The menorah is understood to represent Israel, which is yet to become a “light to all nations.” Today, the national symbol of Israel is this same candlestick with its two olive branches.
Ancient Israel only had two anointed positions: Priest and King. They were anointed with olive oil, a symbol of God’s Holy Spirit, before taking office (Exodus 30:30). It was a simple gesture asking for God’s merciful guidance and a humble request for inspiration from Heaven (I Samuel 16:13).
God reveals that his men will be on active duty for three and a half years. His mission coincides with the Gentile occupation of Jerusalem. They will witness the atrocities committed against our people, and they will fast and pray. So formal dinners and gala days are gone. The prophets of God will be in mourning and dressed in black: burlap!
Revelation 11:4 states, “These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the God of the earth.” They stand before God, ready and willing to carry out his every command. They are filled with the Holy Spirit and share their LIGHT of understanding with captive Israel (Zechariah 4:12). They will give everything they have, emptying themselves, to try to impart the vision of God and spiritual insight.
Obviously, they are testifying against Europe’s crimes against humanity, because the Beast wants them dead! They warn Europe that their Judgment Day is near and therefore encourage Israel to never fear!
The prophet Malachi assures us: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers toward their children, and the hearts of the children toward their fathers, so that I do not come and smite the earth with a curse” (Malachi 4:5-6).
Who in the Bible is most prominent before the return of Jesus Christ? In the Old Testament we find Elijah. In the New Testament we are introduced to the Two Witnesses. Both are just before the awesome DAY OF THE LORD, the time when God directly intervenes with the SEVEN LAST PLAGUES!
The two representatives of Israel will present their case from Jerusalem. They will confront Europe’s sorcerer pope and would-be divine emperor with the facts and hold them personally responsible for Europe’s atrocities. God’s two witnesses will take the stand and testify against Europe’s cruel and unusual punishment inflicted on our people. They will accuse the Beast and the False Prophet of murder, treason and extortion!
The two anointed positions of Israel were priest and king. The tribe of the priests was Levi and the tribe of the scepter was Judah. Therefore, one of the representatives of Israel will come from the Royal House of David (Judah), and the other will join him as an assistant, from the line of Aaron (Levi). Both will be deeply converted people from the one true Church of God. They represent God’s Church and State, like Moses and Aaron, against Satan’s counterfeit Church and State!
“Elijah” will vigorously oppose the evil empire of Europe and speak out against their corrupt system of government and religion! He will denounce those Israelite nations in Europe that will have merged their markets with the daughter of Babylon. Ahab (pagan Israelites) and Jezebel (the Catholic Church) will have to face Elijah again! Elijah’s successor was promised a double portion of God’s Holy Spirit: it will be shared between the Two Witnesses!
