June 11 - Great celebrations - Rev 11:10
June 11 - Great celebrations - Rev 11:10
Vs 10 -
For the those who dwelt on the earth these two prophets reminded them
about a God they did not want or care for.
They had been tormented because of these two witnesses. They expressed their joy over their death by
having parties, celebrations and sending gifts to each other. The world loves its sin. That which has become wrong is right and that
which is right has become wrong. These
two witnesses reminded them and were representatives of a God who in their mind
hated and despised them. People who live
for God will be haters, bias, bigots and racist in the eyes of the world. We see that now in the West. They were tormented by the two witnesses
because they refused to stop sinning and they have pledged allegiance to the
beast and his system. When the church is
gone there is no restraining force for evil, only judgment which these two
witnesses brought.

June 10 - Three days - Rev 11-8-9
June 10 - Three days - Rev 11-8-9
Vs 8-9 – Now their dead bodies lie in the
street of Jerusalem and it is called Sodom and Egypt because it has rejected
the Lord, His Christ and the witnesses.
Sodom is representative of the vile and evil practices of the
world. Egypt represents the worldly
system. Both have bowed to the god of
this world and his presentative.
Jerusalem is identified because it is the city in which the Lord Jesus
Christ died.
Now
the people all over the world shall see their dead body for three days. Their bodies are left as a reminder of what
will happen to all who oppose the beast.
With the advent of television and the internet the entire world will see
this event in real time. This must have
been amazing to John as a first century man where communication was basic and
crude. Wireless communication, smart
devices and computers will enable the beast to create a worldwide system to
monitor and impose his will on the planet.
This scene of the dead bodies will remind all that he has absolute power
and authority.

June 9 - Life and death - Rev 11:7
June 9 - Life and death - Rev 11:7
Vs 7 – Now when they had finished their work
and testimony the became vulnerable. Up
to this point they have been able to
defeat the forces of the beast who is the anti-christ. The personal incarnation of satan on the
earth. The beast who has come from the
bottom of the pit was now able to make war against them. This beast is mentioned nine times in the
book of Revelation. The witnesses and
the beast were at war for a long time.
The witnesses were successful in defeating the forces of hell until the end
of their time period. Now the beast was
able to overcome them. He would then
kill them. The ones who had not died
were now entering the same portal as all mankind. Death comes to all of us even those who had
not yet perished. This was the reason
Enoch and Elijah had not died. They had
one great task ahead of them. Like them
we have only a short time left. We must
tell all in our world about the coming of the Lord. We must share with power, authority, might
and dominion that God will execute judgment on this planet. This is not the time for timidity but
courage. Our loved ones and friends are
at stake. The devil wants to destroy them
as he did the witnesses. We are at war
make no mistake about it. We overcome by
the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Life and death are at stake.
