I have now revealed I am on a mission from the future to you all

I am not 'hiding' from any of you, I took some time out to reveal to Shanice, Denise and Bernard that I am a time traveller from the future sent back in time by God to save the unsaved before the Rapture happens. We prayed together and they now stand firm behind me in the continuing mission even though it appears God has changed the mission and the timings to suit a new plan. Perhaps I have travelled back in time BEFORE to a different reality, only God can know, for he is an awesome God.

I am still convinced that the final 7 years are here now!

RED ALERT THE ENDING DATE OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION--ARMAGEDDON--PROPHECY 2012 PREDICTION 110% CORRECT AS REVEALED BY GOD

As many of you know I retired early some years ago, around the same time my wife began visiting her sister more regularly, giving me ample time alone with my calculator. This has allowed me to gain an amazing insight into God's Word which He has encoded into the Bible itself.
I have sent this information out via email and via my trusted friends at Five Doves. However I need to ensure as many people as possible get to read the message of the Lord before He marries His Bride (the Church) and the Rapture occurs. So for those of you who contact me the 'Bride' I am talking about is The Church (which must be a spotless Bride) and NOT Mrs Reese. Admittedly she is an excellent wife, and always ensures I have a great selection of TV dinners at the trailer for when I am working.

THE ENDING DATE OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION--ARMAGEDDON--

                                               START OF MILLENNIUM

 Today's message is Part 2 of "Daniel 12--The Keys to the Rapture and the Start of the Great Tribulation". Part 1 is a MUST read before reading today's message. Part 1 is linked below:

http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2012/ronr52.htm

We pick up today's message where we left off from Part 1. In Part 1, we learned that Daniel 12 is really the key Chapter in the Word in establishing the timing of the Rapture, and the start of the Great Tribulation. I believe the Lord would first have us take a serious look at the ending date of the Great Tribulation, before attempting to establish the starting date. Once the ending date is established, we can then proceed to count backwards from that date, to establish the starting date.

Keep in mind that the X FACTORS that were not considered in the original 2008-- 2015 timeline are Day 1290 and Day 1335. We read in Daniel 12:12, "Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days." Day 1335 is one of the 2 X FACTORS. Today's message focuses on Day 1335, the Final Day.

In the original 2008--2015 timeline, the Battle of Armageddon, and the Final Day of the Great Tribulation, was to take place on Day of Atonement, Sept. 23, 2015. This would be the Final Day, Day 2520 of the Final 7 Years. Personally, I believe this no longer can be the case. The reason for this is that the Antichrist's 1260-day reign has not yet begun, there is no evidence that the two witnesses have begun their 1260-day ministry, and the remnant of Jews have not fled to the wilderness (Petra?), for 1260 days.

But the X FACTORS of Day 1290 and Day 1335 allow for a potential 75 more days from Apr. 11, 2012, for these things to develop, and still hold true to the 2008--2015 timeline. When World War 3 starts, these events will transpire very quickly.

As we discussed in Part 1, the Mega--Earthquake Day of Apr. 11--12th, VALIDATED that day as Day 1260, or the mid-point Day of the Final 7 Years. With the Megaquakes of 8.6 and 8.2, and the substantial number of large earthquakes on that day, the Lord marked the Day of Apr. 11th, just as He did with the three different comets on the very same day of the year. By VALIDATING APRIL 11, 2012, I believe the Lord was also VALIDATING THE STARTING DATE OF OCT. 29, 2008, AND THE ENDING DATE OF DAY OF ATONEMENT, SEPT. 23, 2015.

Therefore, the 2008--2015 timeline has not really changed. It is only the X FACTORS of Day 1290 and Day 1335 that have changed. In the original timeline, the Final Day of the Great Tribulation, and the Day of the Battle of Armageddon, was Day of Atonement, Sept. 23, 2015. Because Apr. 11th did not START the Great Tribulation, this means that Sept. 23, 2015, cannot END the Great Tribulation.

Before, we just tacked these extra 75 Days in Daniel 12, onto Sept. 23, 2015, and made Day 1335, Dec. 6--7. 2015, the starting date for the Millennial Reign of Christ. Originally, we determined that Apr. 11, 2012, was the starting date of the Great Tribulation, and that Sept. 23, 2015, was the ending date of a 1260-day Great Tribulation.

I am here today to tell you that there is a better day, a more appropriate day, a more fitting day, and A MORE BIBLICAL DAY, for the Battle of Armageddon. THE ENDING DATE FOR THE GREAT TRIBULATION, AND THE DAY OF THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON IS DAY 1335!!!!!! It is NOT Day 1260, or Day 2520, as most Bible Prophecy students, including me, have believed. Daniel 12 establishes Day 1335 as the Final Day, the End of Days. And there is another Chapter in the Word of God that I believe further establishes this very same day as the Day of the Battle of Armageddon.

Day 1335, is the very same day as we had projected in the original timeline. Only in the original timeline, we tacked the extra 75 days onto the Day 1260, which we thought would be the Day of the Battle of Armageddon, Sept. 23, 2015, and did NOT include it as part of the Great Tribulation. Day 1335 remains the same. It is Dec. 6--7, 2015, Hanukkah Eve. The difference is that it is now part of the Great Tribulation. IT IS THE CULMINATION DAY, THE FINAL DAY, OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION.

We established in Part 1 that the theme of Daniel 12 was the time and the timing, of the Rapture and the Great Tribulation. Nowhere in that Chapter is Day 1260 mentioned. Instead, the end of the Chapter points us DIRECTLY to Day 1290 and Day 1335, as the End of Days. The End of Days, the End of the Great Tribulation, the Final Day, the Day of the Battle of Armageddon, and the probable starting Date of the Millennial Reign of Christ, all happen on the very same day--DAY 1335!!!

Gerry Almond has put a whole lot of work into paralleling Noah's 120-year timeline with the Final 120 Years before the Milliennium begins. You can read all about it in previous posts on www.fivedoves.com . The number 120, which is 40 + 40 + 40, means Divine period of probation. The number 40 means trial, testing, and probation. Israel has always been God's prophetic timepiece. In 1897, the very first Jewish Congress was established. This was Israel's starting date. The date was in August (27th?). Going forward EXACTLY 120 Prophetic years does not take us to 2016, or 2017, or 2018, or 2019, or any other year. Nor does it take us to Day 1260, Sept. 23, 2015.

AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH, SO SHALL IT ALSO BE IN THE DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN!!! THE NOAHIC COUNTDOWN OF 120 YEARS TAKES US EXACTLY TO THE DAY OF DEC. 6--7, 2015, RIGHT TO THE DAY!!!!!!! This is the culmination day, the end day, the Final Day of the Great Tribulation! This is also the Final Day of the 120--Year countdown of the Noahic countdown, our current world's Divine period of probation.

This day of Hanukkah Eve, Dec. 6--7, 2015, the anniversary day of Pearl Harbor, points us DIRECTLY to the perfect day to start the Millennium. According to Haggai 2:18, this is the day of the year, when the foundation of the Lord's Temple was laid. This anniversary day is a day of celebration every year for the Jews. What a perfect day for the Lord to begin, and celebrate, his Millennial Reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords in HIS NEW TEMPLE, the very anniversary day of the laying of the foundation of the original Lord's Temple. Dec. 6--7th of 2015 is the absolute perfect fit!

Today, for the first time ever, I am strongly suggesting to you that the Word of God, in all probability, points us DIRECTLY to this very day of the year as the Day of the Battle of Armageddon! We have discussed Haggai 2 in the past, but always in the same light as Grant Jeffrey as proposed, which is that Haggai 2 may be referrring to the Battle of Gog and Magog. I have always deferred to Mr Jeffrey's analysis on this matter.

But I have always felt that it could be the Battle of Armageddon, rather than the Battle of Gog and Magog. Marilyn Agee, and other Prophetic scholars, believe these two Battles are one and the same. I have never gone along with this theory, but now I am not so sure. Regardless, I now believe Haggai 2 is pointing us DIRECTLY to the day of the year of the Battle or Armageddon, because the day of the year of this Battle, in Haggai 2, is emphasized THREE TIMES, as Kislev 24.

In 2015, Kislev 24 falls EXACTLY on Hanukkah Eve, Dec. 6--7, 2015. That is correct.

Day 1335, using the 2008--2015 timeline, and Kislev 24, of the Battle of Armageddon, in Haggai 2, are the EXACT SAME DAYS IN 2015!!! You cannot convince me that this is just a coincidence. The Battle of Armageddon HAS to be part of the Great Tribulation. We cannot just attempt to add these extra 75 days onto the end of the Great Tribulation.

When the events, which we expected to transpire during the first days of April this year, did not happen, several of us who believe this 2008--2015 timeline is God's timeline, began seeking the Lord, and exchanging emails, regarding our thoughts on just where we were now , in regards to this timeline. The Lord immediately directed my attention to Daniel 12. Below are excerpts from two of those emails. I felt a strong annointing, as I wrote them, so I want to share them with you:

1st Email:

Can you see how Gerry's 120-Year Noahic timetable conclusion date of Kislev 24, Dec. 6--7, 2015, and the Haggai 2 Battle of Armageddon date is THE VERY SAME DATE. The Battle of Armageddon cannot be separate from the Great Tribulation. It has to be the concluding event of the Great Tribulation. This makes Kislev 24, Hanukkah Eve, Dec. 6--7, 2015, the concluding date of the Great Tribulation!!!!!!!

HAGGAI 2 GIVES US THE DATE!!!!!!! IT IS THE VERY SAME DATE THAT CONCLUDES THE FINAL 1335 DAYS in our 2008--2015 timeline!!!!!!! IT IS THE VERY SAME DATE THAT CONCLUDES THE 120-YEAR NOAHIC TIMELINE!!!!!!! IT IS THE VERY SAME DAY OF THE YEAR THAT THE JEWS CELEBRATE THE REBUILDING OF THEIR TEMPLE EVERY YEAR!!!!!!! IS THIS NOT THE PERFECT DAY FOR JESUS TO START HIS MILLENNIAL REIGN IN HIS NEW TEMPLE?!!!!!!! HANUKKAH IS THE VERY HOLIDAY THAT THE JEWS CELEBRATE, FOR THEIR MIRACULOUS INTERVENTION BY GOD. THIS IS WHAT THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON IS--A MIRACULOUS INTERVENTION BY GOD, TO SAVE ISRAEL FROM THE ARMIES OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!

The Lord is showing to us how Dec. 6--7, 2015, Hanukkah Eve, the Biblical date of Haggai 2, is the perfect day for ALL of the above fulfillments. We just never looked at it before, as also fulfilling the Scriptures that point directly to the Battle of Armageddon. Day of Atonement can no longer be that day. Dec. 6--7, 2015, Kislev 24, Hanukkah Eve, IS THAT DAY!!!!!!!

2nd Email:

Now, for the real reason that I believe the Great Tribulation ends on Hanukkah of 2015, rather than Atonement, of 2015. IT IS ALL ABOUT HAGGAI 2. Please read that chapter. It is all about Kislev 24. I now believe this chapter is referring to the day of the year of the Battle of Armageddon. It may also be the Battle of Gog and Magog, as Grant Jeffrey believes. They may be one, and the same, as Marilyn Agee, and others believe. At this late hour, neither Battle has yet happened.

Nowhere in Scripture can we pinpoint the Battle of Armageddon at any particular day of the year, other than Kislev 24, Hanukkah Eve, in Haggai 2. Here are the key verses in Haggai 2:

Verses 6--7--"For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, AND THE DESIRE OF ALL NATIONS (JESUS) SHALL COME : and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts."

Verse 10--"IN THE FOUR AND TWENTIETH DAY OF THE NINTH MONTH (Kislev 24)...came the word of the Lord, by Haggai the prophet."

Verses 18--19--"Consider now from this day and upward, FROM THE FOUR AND TWENTIETH DAY OF THE NINTH MONTH (Kislev 24), even from the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, consider it. From THIS DAY (Kislev 24) will I bless you."

Verses 20--22--"And again the word of the Lord came unto Haggai IN THE FOUR AND TWENTIETH DAY OF THE MONTH (KISLEV 24), saying I WILL SHAKE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH; AND I WILL OVERTHROW THE THRONE OF KINGDOMS , AND I WILL DESTROY THE STRENGTH OF THE KINGDOMS OF THE HEATHEN; AND I WILL OVERTHROW THE CHARIOTS AND THOSE WHO RIDE IN THEM, AND THE HORSES AND THEIR RIDERS SHALL COME DOWN, EVERY ONE BY THE SWORD OF HIS BROTHER."

Three times the Lord emphasizes Kislev 24. Kislev 24, 2015, is the culmination date of Gerry Almond's 120-year Noah timeline, right to the day. Kislev 24, 2015,

has all the potential to be the culmination day of the Great Tribulation, 2015, at the Battle of Armageddon. It is Biblical Day 1335 from Apr. 11, 2012. We have not yet arrived at the day that is 1260 days before Dec. 6--7, 2015. 1260 days for the Antichrist. 1260 days for the two witnesses. 1260 days for the remnant of Israel.

So, the 2008--2015 remains VERY MUCH alive. From every angle, Dec. 6--7, 2015, Hanukkah Eve, Kislev 24, looks like the culmination day. And I believe the Word of God, in Haggai 2, confirms it. I honestly believe that the Lord has now revealed one of the Final pieces that we have needed in this 2008--2015 timeline, with all of its extremely compelling evidence.

In conclusion, EVERYTHING POINTS TO THE VERY SAME DAY, KISLEV 24, HANUKKAH EVE, DEC. 6--7, 2015. IT IS DAY 1335 OF THE 2008--2015 TIMELINE, WHICH IS THE FINAL DAY REFERRED TO IN DANIEL 12. DAY 1335 IS THE END OF DAYS. Dec. 6--7, 2015, IS THE FINAL DAY OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION. HAGGAI 2 POINTS US DIRECTLY TO THIS DAY OF KISLEV 24, AS THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON. THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON HAS TO BE THE CULMINATION OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION. IT SIMPLY CANNOT BE SEPARATE FROM IT.

HANUKKAH IS THE TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN THE JEWS CELEBRATE BEING RESCUED BY THE HAND OF GOD. WHAT GREATER RESCUE CAN THERE BE THAN BEING RESCUED BY THE KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS, RIDING A WHITE HORSE, WITH ALL OF THE ARMIES OF THE WORLD COMING AGAINST YOU?!!!

DEC. 6--7, 2015, IS THE EXACT ENDING DATE OF THE 120--YEAR TIMELINE OF NOAH. IT IS MY OPINION THAT GOD,THE ONE WHO HAS SET THE DATES AND THE SIGNS, HAS ORDAINED, AND CO-ORDINATED, ALL OF THIS, JUST LIKE HE HAS GIVEN US SO MUCH COMPELLING EVIDENCE OF THE EXACT START DATE, MIDPOINT DATE, AND ENDING DATE, OF THE FINAL 7 YEARS. AND NOW HE IS FILLING IN THE FINAL PIECES, GIVING US THE KEYS TO THE FINAL PIECES OF THE END-TIME PROPHETIC PUZZLE. THE X FACTORS OF DAY 1290, AND DAY 1335, ARE NOW COMING TOGETHER, TO GIVE US A MORE COMPLETE PICTURE OF THE FINAL PROPHETIC PUZZLE. AND THEY ARE HARMONIZING PERFECTLY. THEY ARE FITTING LIKE A GLOVE.

IN PART 3, YOU WILL SEE HOW THEY HARMONIZE EVEN MORE, AS WE BACK UP FROM DAY 1335, DEC. 6--7, 2015, TO ATTEMPT TO PUT THE FINAL PIECES IN PLACE, FOR THE POSSIBLE TIMING OF THE RAPTURE, AND THE START OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION. We have now entered the two-month period of May and June of 2012, when we should be EXPECTING THE RAPTURE ANY DAY NOW!

In Matthew 24:33, Jesus says, "So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, KNOW THAT IT IS NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS."

We can KNOW, fellow watchers.

Maranatha!

 

As previously stated via the angels - my messengers from God - this is 110% correct, you can know that (The Rapture) is near, even at the doors.

April 11th - I told you it was imporatnant

Earthquakes of magnitude 8.6 and 8.2 were felt off the western coast of Indonesia on April 11, 2012. In the period of one year there may be one earthquake above magnitude 8.0 on average, if at all. The last earthquake in this category was the one at magnitude 9.0 that occurred off Japan on March 11, 2011. However, here we have two in one day followed by other fairly significant earthquakes around the world. Naturally, this seems suspicious to those of us watching these earthquakes as signs of our Lord’s coming.

In Chapter 6 of Signs of the End, the significance of April 11th was documented. Other researchers had discovered that Comets Hyakutake (1996) and Hale-Bopp (1997) had formed a crossing point at right angles at the star of Algol one year apart on April 11th. So Comet Hyakutake was at Algol on April 11, 1996 and Comet Hale-Bopp was at Algol on April 11, 1997. Algol is known as the unluckiest star and it means “evil spirit”. It is located in the constellation Perseus in the decapitated head of Medusa or properly known as the head of Satan being decapitated by the Coming Prince. In 1998, April 11th coincided with Passover in Israel’s 50th year since May 14, 1948.

In the book it was then searched to see when other Passover’s coincided with April 11th. The following years were the only years to have Passovers (Day of Unleavened Bread) fall on April 11th. Those years were 1914, 1933, 1998, and 2017. The next nearest years for April 11th Passovers are 1865 and 2028. It was also shown that the likely time of Christ’s fulfilled Day of Unleavened Bread was also April 11, AD 32. So with this background, two large earthquakes on the same day of concern would seem to be significant.

If April 11th is the solar anniversary of Christ being buried for our sins, then with Christ being “tabernacled” among us (John 1:14), it is believed that Christmas better represents the approximate time Jesus would have been conceived. On December 26, 2004, the third largest recorded earthquake in history also hit off of the west coast of Indonesia killing nearly a quarter million people. By doing a day count it was then found that the April 11, 2012 earthquakes came on day 2,664 from that “Christmas” earthquake.

This number is peculiar since this number has been a topic of concern before. In one of the calculations it was determined that by using the number 666 using our clocks that contain 1,440 minutes in a day, 666 days would equal 959,040 minutes. If one minute represents one day, then it would correspond to 959,040 days. Applying this span of time from the time of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the Gentile Kingdoms (603 BC) will transpire in the year 2024 when such kingdoms may end. Converting 959,040 days into 360 day years results in 2,664 360-day years. “Coincidently” this is the same number of days between the 2004 and 2012 earthquakes. But what may be even more astonishing is that from September 11, 2017 until December 26, 2024 is also 2,664 days with December 26, 2017 being the first day of Hanukkah and Day 1335 in the 2017-2024 scenario. 2,664 years can also be broken down to 4 x 666 possibly representing the Four Beasts (Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome) seen by Daniel to span the period covered by Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream.

Therefore, these are the following coincidences seen so far:

April 11, 32 - Passover fulfilled by Jesus Christ.

April 11, 1914 - Passover and the year World War I begins.

April 11, 1933 - Passover and Hitler passes first anti-Semitic laws on that very Passover.

April 11, 1996 - Comet Hyakutake crosses the star Algol.

April 11, 1997 - Comet Hale-Bopp crosses the star Algol.

April 11, 1998 - Passover and Israel’s 50th year and 50th Passover.

April 11, 2012 - 8.6 and 8.2 earthquakes off of Indonesia. These are also the 49th and 50th magnitude 8+ quakes since 1948.

There are 2,664 days from the December 26, 2004 earthquake until the April 11, 2012 earthquakes.

There are 2,664 days from September 11, 2017 until December 26, 2024 (Hanukkah).

There are 2,664 360-day years from Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream in 603 BC until 2024.

In doing the many calculations, it was first found that forty 360-day years (14,400 days) from June 7, 1967 landed on November 8, 2006 and the Hebrew day of Heshvan 17, which is the anniversary day of the Flood. By continuing another 1,440 days, time landed on October 18, 2010 and the corresponding Hebrew day of Heshvan 10, which is the day on which Noah was sealed into the Ark seven days before the Flood. Continuing the stepped down day counts, 144 more days led to March 11, 2011 and the day of the Japanese Tsunami. However, it was also discovered that seven 360-day years from October 18, 2010 would lead to September 11, 2017. September 11, 2017 comes 2,664 days before December 26, 2024. December 26, 2024 is the day theorized to be Day 1335, which begins the blessing of the Millennium. September 11, 2017 now seems more significant given the same day counts from December 26, 2004 until April 11, 2012. But that is not all.

Colors of the Rapture

I have been having some very vivid rapture dreams recently

In them is the color WHITE, BLUE and RED very prominently

I prayed to God for clarity and He confirmed

WHITE is the color of the Bride

BLUE is the sky we will fly thru

RED is the fire of destruction and the reign of the AC

What do you think about this? Are you seeing / dreaming the same?

Even so, come Lord Jesus!

Ron

Labor Completed

As many of you know God commanded me to evangelize to the backsliders, atheists, satanists and pretend-Christians on Aliens V UFOs, a secular and unGodly web forum out in the uncharted regions of the internets. I did not take on this task lightly and have shown them many truths, sadly I fear many of their hearts are unchanged and they are not saved. Indeed many of them repeated practically the same message to me (or thereabouts) about me not being correct in my predictions and that my Bible Code Of Math is incorrect, whereas it is glaringly obvious that it isn't.
Fortunately God has now told me I can move on to other websites and abandon these heathen satanists to their flying saucer worship.
Praise Jesus!

THE TWO WITNESSES--TAKE IT LITERALLY

When attending Bible School, many years ago, in Hermeneutics class, we learned about the 23 principles one should use in interpreting Scripture. One of those principles is called "The Direct Statement Principle". The definition is, "That principle under which God says what He means, and means what He says. This is an important principle, and we enunciate this because of the attempts of many people to spiritualize the Word of God, and to make it a mystical book. To many people, God's Word is not to be taken literally at all."

When we start to spiritualize, or allegorize, or interpret Scripture to not be literal, we are standing on dangerous ground. Many liberal denominations, and liberal churches do this all of the time. Once one starts down this road, it is a very slippery slope. If we do not like the literal interpretation of a certain Scripture, we start to take license, and liberty, to attempt to change it to our liking. Soon one is left with believing those Scriptures which suit his fancy, and ignoring the rest. The Word says that, "ALL Scripture is given by inspiration of God."

To carry "The Direct Statement Priciple" one step further, it means to take every Scripture literally, unless it is not possible to do so. This includes the Book of Revelation, which, to many, is to be taken only as an allegory, or a mystic book. The purpose of this email is to encourage all Bible students to believe that the two witnesses in the Book of Revelation are literally two men.

We have no legitimate reason to believe these two witnesses are the 144, 000, or that they are the Jews and the Church, or anything other than two men. When the Word gives us great detail, PROVING CONCLUSIVELY that these are two men, why should anybody doubt the Word of God, and try to twist the Scripture into meaning something other than what is so obviously stated?

Here is what the Word of God says about the two witnesses, PROVING CONCLUSIVELY that they are LITERALLY TWO MEN:

1. Rev. 11:3--It gives us the exact length of their ministries, and prophecies, of 1260 days.

2. Rev. 11:3--It tells us what they would be wearing--clothed in sackcloth.

3. Rev. 11:5--Fire proceeds out of their mouths, and destroys their enemies. This same thing happened literally in the O.T.

4. Rev. 11:6--These same TWO witnesses have power to stop it from raining.

5. Rev. 11:6--These same TWO witnesses have power to turn water into blood.

6. Rev. 11:6--These same TWO witnesses have power to smite the earth with all plagues. God does not need ALL of the Church, and ALL of the Jews, or 144,000 people, to performed these things in # 3--# 6. All He needs is TWO PROPHETS.

7. Rev. 11:10--This verse should remove ALL doubt in anybody's mind that these two witnesses are literally TWO MEN. It reads, "...THESE TWO PROPHETS tormented them who dwelt on the earth." It is a witness to the awesomeness of God's power, that so much could be accomplished with just TWO PROPHETS.

8. Rev. 11:8--This verse gives us even more detail, by describing the city of Jerusalem, where these TWO PROPHETS are killed.

9. Rev. 11:9--This verse gives us the length of time the TWO PROPHETS lay in the streets of Jerusalem--three and one-half days.

10. Rev. 11:10--The people of the earth shall rejoice over the dead bodies of these TWO PROPHETS, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another.

11. Rev. 11:11--The Spirit of life from God entered into them, and these TWO PROPHETS stood upon their feet, and great fear fell on them which saw them.

12. Rev. 11:12--A great voice said unto the TWO PROPHETS, "Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them."

When the Word of God gives us this much detail about the lives and ministries nd deaths of these two witnesses, and refers to them as TWO PROPHETS, let's not doubt that God says what He means, and means what He says. Anything other than a literal interpretation of these two witnesses, is simply doubting God's ability to communicate to us what He is so obviously saying.

Let us not become like the liberal theologians, and try to spiritualize, or allegorize, the Book of Revelation. We should always take the Scriptures literally unless there is a very good reason not to.

Over the past 40 years, I have read so much speculation on the identity of these TWO MEN, OR TWO PROPHETS. Most, but not all, believe that one of these men is Elijah. The leading candidates to be the other man appear to me Moses, Enoch, and John, although other candidates have been mentioned.

I have read all of reasons why Moses just HAS to be one of them, including that he appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration with Elijah. There are three main reasons why I do not believe that Moses is one of the two witnesses:

1. Moses has already died once.

2. Moses was not a good speaker. His brother, Aaron was his spokesperson. He seems like an unlikely candidate to be seen prophesying, with his mouth, for three and one-half years.

3. The main reason that I don't think Moses is a good fit is that God wants to glorify His Son. He wants the Jews and the rest of the world to be drawn to His Son, Jesus. The Jews would worship Moses, almost like a cult hero, if he should be one of the two witnesses. Moses is a very popular figure in Jewish history.

I maintain that there has to be a reason for God to only Rapture two people in the Old Testament, the same as the number of witnesses in the New Testament. The Word tells us that one of those two, Elijah, would be sent to earth, by God, in the last days. It only makes perfect sense that the only other man to be Raptured, without dying, was Enoch. It is my contention that the two witnesses are probably Elijah and Enoch, but with different modern names, possibly Ernie and Bert.

Maranatha!
