REVELATION 11: 3-14: “And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in like manner be killed.
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophesy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will (want).
And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them.
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of that great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall SEE their dead bodies three days and an half and shall not suffer (permit) their dead bodies to be put in graves.
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth.
And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear feel upon them which saw them.
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud: and their enemies beheld them.
And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted (rest were afraid) and gave glory to the God of heaven.
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.”
The last verse wasn’t really part of what we are dealing with in this post, but I thought you might like a place marker to know about where we are when this comes to pass.
Like many of you, as I have watched these sickening protests that are taking over the world screaming against Israel and chanting their little demonic chat.
Schools and colleges clamoring as they climb on the latest social bandwagon, most I suspect not even having a clue as to what on earth they are even saying, much less who it is they actually fight against, carrying their little signs, feeling all superior because they think they know so much and should be so privileged as to just demand that Israel lay down and be trampled over by her enemies.
I am always so curious as to know what their chant would be if these same monsters came to commit the same atrocities against them, against their people.
Who are these people anyway? Who could laugh and give out candy in celebration of Jewish deaths? Who could call for their deaths, in the streets?
Refresher course.
ROMANS 1:18-32: “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge (denied His existence), God gave them over to a reprobate mind‘ to do those things which are not convenient (not beneficial to their well-being);
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whispers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding ,covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
They have so hardened their hearts that they no longer possess even the basic common human decency.
They have given themselves over to the devil so much so that God has literally given their minds over to their own destruction.
And as they love and celebrate those that are evil and the enemies of God and all that is good, they will also be given over to those same enemies that they have so praised.
JUDE 1:16: “These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouths speak great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage. (making a show to try to gain prestige).”
Confess to standing for whatever they think will be most noticed by those whom they wish to impress.
2 PETER 2:12, 13, &17- 19: “But these, as natural brute beats, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption.
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
Speaking, rioting, and beguiling, leading others through their words and action into the same destruction.
“These are wells without water, clouds that are carried away with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were escaped from them who live in error.
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.”
Sounds about right, people taking up causes that are not even theirs, promising freedom that is not theirs to give and screaming about the rights of a country whose tyranny they have never endured. Ignorantly calling for the deaths of innocent people with those great swelling words.
The groups that hide the same antisemitism under the banner of freedom for Palestine while conveniently confessing themselves to be Jewish are the ones I find most disturbing.
People can lay claim to any name to fulfil their agenda, it does not make them part of the group they falsely represent.
REVELATION 3:9: “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
Whatever the motive, no matter the agenda, nothing is hidden from God.
Being on the devil’s side doesn’t spare you from the devil and coddling and praising terrorists is not going to protect you from them, although I do think that’s how that game is sometimes played.
Pretty clear to see from our beginning passage from Revelation that this is merely the tip of the iceberg, as the whole world will see and will celebrate and will consider the death of the two prophets a gift-giving occasion.
As I watched a live feed from Israel a couple of days ago, I could only think of that passage.
Those who would argue the legitimacy of the Bible would do very well to try to explain how John could have possibly known nineteen hundred and twenty-eight years ago, that in the last days, there would come a time in which the entire world could see the entire world at a single moment in real time, had it not been given by true, divine revelation.
So, hang on, keep your eyes on Jerusalem and pray for her and her people, her leaders and those who are held captive, her deliverance will come, and these events are those things which have been foretold long ago, just watch, as it all unfolds.
Genesis 12:3: “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Watch the those of world as they rave, and shout, dance with glee with every atrocity, so deceived, so deadened that they don’t even realize that they bring about their own condemnation.
