    Two Witnesses - A Biblical Perspective

    Why Does Scripture Mention Their “Feet”? This detail is important! Throughout Scripture, feet are associated with being sent forth with the Gospel: And: Therefore, when the Spirit causes the Two Witnesses to stand upon their feet, the picture is one of God's people becoming mobilized again...

    Two Witnesses - A Biblical Perspective

    Who Are the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11? The Bible does NOT teach that the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 are two literal men who suddenly appear at the end of the world or even the first century. Revelation itself identifies them symbolically: Elsewhere Scripture identifies the...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    Ahem... You just repeated yourself. I already broke down the article point by point above — Israel and the Gentiles, the Old Covenant riches, the "poor in spirit," the crumbs and the dogs tied to Matthew 15, Abraham's bosom as the covenant people. None of that got a response. You just came back...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    You missed the point. Parable was there for our learning, not for us to figure out what it looks like for Rich man in hell and or random man called Larazus in heaven. Read the article.

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    That is pretty weak because your interpretation is based almost entirely on speculation. It actually demonstrates that you do not understand what the parable is communicating. No, the parable is not talking about the conscious state of some random group of ten literal, physical virgins. You are...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    No. I believe that the parable indeed must be interpreted in light of scripture, itself, and considering everything (including time spans) that God has incorporated into it. To my thinking, that means it's a parable about the differing actions of diverse virgins, preceding the wedding. For...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    So apparently, believers can lose their salvation by refusing—or supposedly accepting—a physical mark on their hand or forehead? And Matthew 25:44–46 is somehow a test of whether Christians can keep their salvation during a future seven-year tribulation? Sigh… this is exactly what happens when...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    That is not quite correct. Did you actually read the article? The central argument is that Jesus is using a parable with spiritual symbolism, particularly concerning Israel, the Gentiles, the Old Covenant, and the New Covenant—not giving a literal description of people consciously burning in...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    No, God has given us His Word in a way that requires us to seek the spiritual meaning through Scripture itself. We don’t simply make up interpretations as we go along. The meaning must be established by the Word of God. Paul says, “the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God...

    (The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) Will Be On This Earth Together For 3.5 Years (Then Cometh The End)

    You are getting closer to my doctrine on Revelation 11. That is correct. The Two Witnesses represent the body of Christ—Spirit-filled believers proclaiming God’s Word ever since Pentecost, not two literal individuals in the first century or in the future. Jesus said His people would be His...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    Post #71 still exists. Read the article first so you’ll know what the name Lazarus Jesus refers to.

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    Nah, the Lord judges and I am comfortable with that!

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    In symbolic book of Revelation chapter 11, you believe the Two Witnesses spew literal fire out of their mouths literally. The bodies of two individuals lie down on physical street of the city. And they went up into literal clouds. Yeah, got it. :laughing:

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    I think you still misunderstood! Here is why: 2 Kings 1:10 has a much deeper point than simply claiming that “Elijah could make literal fire come down.” 2 Kings 1:9 KJV Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    Very unlikely. You have not really refute my position yet as you shall see. The real question is... have you allow Scripture to interpret scripture regarding the cloud? I do not think so. The cloud in scripture symbolizes God's Glory. e.g.: Exodus 40:35 "And Moses was not able to...

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    You did not answer well. Okay, take an example in verse 5 which you seemed to avoid: What fire is it that comes out of their mouths? Literal? The answer is somewhere in your Bible that you need to find God's interpretation. Or will you be stuck with your private literal interpretation?

    The Two Anointed Ones = The Two Witnesses

    Sigh! And after all that, you still did not answer the questions. You simply repeated your literal interpretation of Revelation 11 and then pasted Revelation 11:3–12 as though quoting the passage somehow proves your interpretation of it. That is not answering the questions biblically. That is...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    Satan fell? When did I discuss this on this thread? Why did you keep changing subject every time I have refuted your position? You must be confusing me with WPM. But regardless, I’ve seen enough to realize that continuing this discussion would be a complete waste of time. You are so deeply...
