I got my head wrapped around politics and the end of the world at the moment.
Although being plucked out of the fire could be a very good analogy of our upcoming future as a human race.
Where are the two witnesses?
What is their job?
Rev 11:3 And I will give
power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred
and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
clothed in sackcloth... why not clothed in glory? why sackcloth?
Gen 37:34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put
sackcloth upon his loins, and
mourned for his son many days.
2Sa 3:31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that
were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with
sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David
himself followed the bier.
1Ki 21:27
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put
sackcloth upon his flesh,
and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
Psa 69:11 I made
sackcloth also my garment; and I became
a proverb to them.
Isa 50:3 I clothe the heavens with
blackness, and I make
sackcloth their covering.
Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
These two witness are to prophecy 1260 days. clothed in sackcloth.
Mourning, fasting, proverbial, blackness...
sounds like lamentations and woe.. to me.
Rev 11:6 These have
power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have
power over waters to turn them to blood,
and to smite the earth with all plagues,
as often as they will.
rain can be rain like from the sky or rain can be the spirit of the Lord and his doctrine from heaven.
These have power that it rain not during the days of these 2 witnesses prophecying.
waters can mean rivers, lakes, oceans, or it can mean peoples and nations.
These have power over the waters to turn them to blood.
turn them to blood.... by killing or covering with?
to smite the earth with plagues,.. man earthy or the panet earth?
So, I'm kind of walking in the firmament right now between spiritual and earthy understanding of what I'm seeing happening in the carnal world, yet also trying to understand the spiritual significance and where it's heading at the moment.
I feel like there is going to be a convergence soon where earth meets spirit, and they come face to face.
No more veil, no covering.
At the same time the two witnesses make their appearance, after 1260 days of prophecying,
Then the beast makes war with them.
Rev 11:7 And when they shall 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.
Is this beast a system? Is it a global system or more national and local?
I believe it's global.
This system is going to attack these two witnesses clothed in mourning and fasting after 1260 days of their testimony.
What is their testimony?
Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
brand, branch... snatched up, escaped, rescued, saved... out of the fire.
Not from the fire, but out of it.
Jde 1:23 And others save with fear,
pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
fire, judgement, fire, temptation, fire..
Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city:
and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Lev 10:1 And
Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and
put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
Lev 10:2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
Rev 11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Rev 11:5 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 this manner be killed.
Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but
rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance
is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Isa 63:4 For the day of vengeance
is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
I'm a bit scattered today. Lots of things coming out in the political world today as well as military, economic, global...
And it's all interconnected physical and spiritual, and it's happening NOW.
So I'm a bit distracted and find myself comparing spiritual with spiritual...
because I feel something is knocking at the door.
And I'm not sure if it's a good knock or a bad knock, but something is close.
