Revelation 11:4\u00a0 <\/span>These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed. They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire.<\/p>\n

Zechariah 4:11-14<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Then I said to him, \u201cWhat are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0And a second time I answered and said to him, \u201cWhat are these two branches of the olive trees, which are beside the two golden pipes from which the golden oil is poured out?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0He said to me, \u201cDo you not know what these are?\u201d I said, \u201cNo, my lord.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Then he said, \u201cThese are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The two witnesses for God have been given great power in their testimony to those who live in and have overtaken Jerusalem with abominations, (horror, disgrace, obscenity, evil, crime, hatred, hostility, and contempt)\u00a0 <\/span>During this 3 1\/2 years they will perform many signs and wonders as often as they desire to change the hearts of the Israelites and to cause judgment on those who would try to harm them.\u00a0 <\/span>The Holy Spirit is gone, Christians are gone, and the world is in chaos.\u00a0 <\/span>People have turned to their most basic sinful selfish desires.\u00a0 <\/span>There is no want to serve God, know God, or repent from this evil.\u00a0 <\/span>These two witnesses, like Moses when he performed signs and wonders before pharaoh are given the power to do that which can only be done at the hand of and authority of God.\u00a0 <\/span>We know the outcome of this, hardening of the heart, retaliation, denial, and rejection of the message\/witness of these two sent by God.\u00a0 <\/span>Think of all that has transpired on earth already; the rapture of Christians, wars, death, earthquakes, sought, famine, disease, high costs of living, the mark of the beast, vegetation destroyed, etc\u2026.\u00a0 <\/span>In all of this people still will not acknowledge God\u2019s judgment, wrath, and anger.\u00a0 <\/span>In all of this, they still reject Him with all of their soul.<\/p>\n

Jump back to our time now.\u00a0 <\/span>We have it just the opposite.\u00a0 <\/span>We live in the time of the presence of the Holy Spirit on earth and within those who believe and trust in Jesus Christ with all of their heart, mind, and soul.\u00a0 <\/span>We live in a time of grace, peace, mercy, and love.\u00a0 <\/span>We live in a time of God restraining His wrath and anger and judgment.\u00a0 <\/span>And yet, there are fewer and fewer people seeing the need for forgiveness, salvation, redemption, and Jesus Christ.\u00a0 <\/span>It seems as though He is rejected in both prosperity and hardship.\u00a0 <\/span>We have been given these words of God so that by them our hearts might see our sinful nature, hope found in and through Jesus Christ, and what is in store for those who reject such a great salvation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
