Title Two Witnesses
Contents: Two Witnesses
Text: Revelation 11: 3-13
During the 7-year tribulation, the church cannot do evangelism or missions. It is absolutely impossible because the tribulation is so great and the persecution is so severe, but God does this through two witnesses as an ultimatum. The Lord also sent out evangelism two by two. The two prophets called two olive trees and two churches. Although he is not Elijah, he opens and closes the gates of heaven like Elijah, but he is not Moses, but he acts as if he turned water into blood, and when God gives great authority to harm them, fire comes out of his mouth and destroys them. When the testimony was nearly finished, a beast came up out of the abyss, and began a war, and the two prophets died. They rejoiced because they tormented them, so they refused to bury the corpses in the streets, and they sent gifts to each other.
The church is subject to suspension of conduct, abolishing the daily sacrifices, prohibiting Sunday holy water and worship, and being banned from singing, praying, evangelism, and missions. At the time of the Lord's return, some say that the church does not participate in this tribulation. As he ascended to heaven in the great tribulation, he sang, "Goodbye, world. I am going. Before the 7 year tribulation comes, I am going."
However, in Matthew 24:29-31, the church participates in tribulation. It was said that after the tribulation there was a sign of the Son of Man. Also, it is said that they will participate in the tribulation to the end, but the tribulation was reduced in Matthew 24:22 because the tribulation three years after the tribulation was so great that there was no one to be saved. He will come at the beginning of the next three and a half years.
Looking at 9 and 11, after three and a half days, three and a half years before, the Lord comes and ascends into heaven through the rapture. Let's not be shaken in the slightest as false prophets and antichrists set the date arbitrarily like the blind man and deceive the second coming.
The conditions of the seven years of tribulation are famine and famine, where they eat their own children, plagues spread throughout the country, and there are many earthquakes that are reminiscent of wars. In the world war, all kings and all men participated in world wars. All weapons appear, and the world becomes a sea of fire, blood, and tears. The work of the great tribulation is to be done in the Lord's economy and providence, and we must do what our church is supposed to do. Since the Lord said that He is coming like a thief, the first priority is to prepare a lamp to welcome the bridegroom (Matthew 25:1), and in 2 Peter 3:10, the heavens will depart with a loud noise, and all your constitutions will be dissolved. What kind of person should you be? Longing for the day of the Lord to be revealed in holy deeds and reverence. In that day long for the Lord's day to be revealed by the archangel's shout and reverence. On that day, when the Lord comes on the clouds with all the angels with the command of the archangel and the trumpet of God, when he tells the saints on earth to come up into the streets, I pray that all of you will be raptured so that you will be able to receive all the blessings promised.
