Dear all,
Revelation 11 has such an important message to us.
V 1:
I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told,
Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshippers there. But excluse the outer court ; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.
You all know that there are a thousand ways to explain Revelation. Give me a chance to give to you the thousand-and-first way.
In the last days, when the antichrist is ruling , in awaitance of the everlasting kingdom of Lord Jesus, which is about to arrive, there is only one place to be save. That is: being in the immediate presence of the Lord in his unvisible temple. Being filled with his Holy Spirit, thinking the way God is thinking, looking to the world in the way he is looking to the world.
But the Christianity, who have not had the idea in their brain to be filled with the Holy Spirit of the Lord.....they are not IN the temple, but they are in the outer court, where it is NOT safe to be. Even the five foolish virgins from Matthew 25 are in the outer court, vainly trying to get into the temple.
They made their way to meet the bridegroom, but they did not have enough oil of the Holy Spirit in their lamps.
In the outer court the devils reign for a bad period of one 'year', for a worse period of ' one year' and for an utmost worse periode of 'a half year', symbolically.
V 3: And I will give power to my two witnesses. and they will prophesy for 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth.
The question is : who are these two witnesses ?
- They are NOT Joshua and Zerubbabel, , mentioned in Zechariah 4 v14 .
They are only alike to them on a bigger scale. These two men from the Old testament built up the temple after the exile.
The ´two witnesses' build up the new temple of the Lord, the invisible temple of the Lord.
And that after those long, long years of misunderstanding from the first coming of Jesus, till his second coming.
They are NOT Moses and Eliah. They are only alike to them on a bigger scale
Eliah had the power to shut up the sky so that it would not rain.
But they have the power to shut up the world of the Lord, so that heavenly rain cannot fall down upon mankind, loosing the sight on the real purpose of the Lod to build a new heavenly temple.( v 6)
Moses had the power to turn the waters into blood and to do other great miracles in Egypt.
But the two witnesses have the power to withold the blessings of the Lord from the earth in those days coming..trhose days of big revolt of a part of mankind, inspired by the antichrist.
But who ARE the two witnesses.
They are YOU, when you go on with 'filling your lamps with the oil of the Holy Spirit and finding the way to the feast with the bridegroom NOT blocked by your own negligence.
If any one tries to harm YOU, fire comes from YOUR mouth and devours YOUR enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm YOU , must die, (5).
But who are the people who want to harm you. Those people are not the people, being indifferent to Christianity, bur these are the Christians , not having reached all the possibilities,the Lord has ready.
The good things are always enemous to the better things.
So the persevering followers of the Lord will be the most hindered by the no persevering Christians. The most enemous of these 'backsliders' or 'not adult' believers will have become so reluctant that they even want to destroy you, perseverers. But ...spiritually they are destroyed themselves by the words of love, salvation AND fire coming from your mouth, words of grace and mercy, that do not reach them as such.
Now at the end of YOUR testimony the 'backsliders' will hand you over to the beast, the inhabiting evil spirit in the antichrist and the beast will kill you (7).
And all the people, living with their mind on this earth and not in the heavenly realms, will have big feast, because they only have thought of you as ' bores, naggers and so on'.
But in fact they are glad you are dead, because you always made an appeal to their deeper knowing:
"They are right and I am wrong. I should like to be with them, but I am forced to be bitterly against them".
Big feast during 3½ days. Everyone knows you are absolutely dead after such a period.
But after those 3½ days.....: A breath of life from God entering you !!!! Now you stand on your feet. Terror everywhere, (11).
And....just like Lord Jesus after 3 days.....
He drank the bowl on thursday-evening and from then filled with all the bad things of all people of all times, even with the sins of the grandchildren of your grandchildren..... he was spiritually dead from that moment
......they entered into the invisble world in an cloud, just like Lord Jesus.
And then there is a big, last revival. Many people seing this.... say " NO" and perish in an earthquake, symbolically...
they have lost their last chance
..... but others , belonging to the 'backsliders', the ' non perserverers', say "YES" and are saved at the very last moment.
Oh my dear friends...try to belong to the witnesses. Don't venture that you say "Yes" on the very last moment. Imagine that you should say "No".
Greetings
Ger
