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.
