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

[Truth7t7]

Revelation 13:5KJV (The Beast)
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

Revelation 11:3KJV (The Two Witnesses)
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Scripture teaches that armies surrounding a future Jerusalem will be a sign that Daniel's AOD is near Luke 21:20, this AOD will start the future 3.5 year great tribulation in the Antichrist proclaiming to be God-Messiah in Jerusalem 2 Thess 2:3-4

(The Beast) and (The Two Witnesses) will be on this earth in Jerusalem during the same time frame of 3.5 years, the two prophets returned will bring all plagues upon the wicked world so often as they will, as the Holy Spirit sealed Church is protected Rev 9:4, Eph 1:13, 4:30, a good description of these plagues can be seen in Rev 16:1-11, its going to be a complete remake of Moses/Aaron against Pharaoh of Egypt as the two prophets representing God will torment the unsaved wicked world

When the two prophets have finished their work on earth (The Beast) will kill them, their dead bodies will lay in a literal Jerusalem street for 3.5 days as a wicked world watches in celebration, because the plagues brought by them tormented the world, after this 3.5 days they will be raised from the dead as God lifts them to heaven before the world watching

After the two prophets are raised to heaven (The Same Hour) the great earthquake takes place as the 2nd woe is fulfilled, the 3rd woe comes even quicker in the 7th Angel/Trump sounding as the second coming of the Lord Jesus takes place in final judgement Rev 11:18 (Then Cometh The End)

Conclusion: From the time (The Beast) kills the (Two Witnesses) until the time the 7th trump is blown will be a matter of about 4 days

(The Beast) & (The Two Witnesses) will be on this earth for the same time frame of 3.5 years as clearly shown, simple, clear, easy to understand, (3.5 days + 1 hour + quickly = Roughly 4 days) = (The Last Day) The End

Revelation 11:1-19KJV
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
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.
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.
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.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 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 their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 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 dwelt on the earth.
11 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 fell upon them which saw them.
12 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.
13 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, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Many posters on this board claim that (The Beast) and (The Two Witnesses) are on this earth at separate time periods with (The Two Witnesses) coming first for 3.5 years, then (The Beast) follows them with a time of 3.5 years for a total of 7 years?

The scripture above clearly teaches that (The Beast) and (The Two Witnesses) will be on this earth together during the very same time frame of 3.5 years?

Waiting for your response, so far its been "Crickets"?

Conclusion: From the time (The Beast) kills the (Two Witnesses) until the time the 7th trump is blown will be a matter of about 4 days

Wrong, though you ate closer that the FIRST HALF = 2 witnesses SECOND HALF = Beast types.

You want it to fit sooo bad (because like us all you want God's truths) that you force it a wee bit brother, them your whole grasp on these end times is off kilter.

How about thinking this though, really taking the time to look at it. The Two-witnesses show up BEFORE the DOTL as Malachi 4:5-6 says and as Zech. 13:8-9 shows because the DOTL arrive in the very next verse after the 1/3 repent, in Zech. 14:1-2.

So, what if the 1335 Blessing is the Two-witnesses (2W) showing up 1335 days before ALL THESE WONDERS or THINGS END? (2nd Coming ends the Daniel 11:36-45 vision Daniel was shown) So, first the 2W turn Israel back unto God, then the 1290 happens next, its 1290 days away from the 2nd coming that end all these things/wonders Daniel was shown. Thus since the Beast only conquers 30 days later at the 1260, the AoD is by his right hand man the False Prophet, a Jewish high priest like unto Jason under Antiochus(AE4), he bribed AE4 to become the high priest having his pious HP brother Onias III killed, he then welcomed AE4 into the temple to sacrifice a pig unto Zeus, and MANDATED that all Jews become Helenites (take on Greek culture/serve Greek gods) which led to the Maccabean Revolt. Likewise this man will FORBID Jesus Worship (TAKES AWAY the "real" Sacrifice) and the place an IMAGE of the E.U. President up in the temple, and Israel via the 9:27 Agreement joins the E.U. and this this AC/Little Horn has political sway in Israel. This False Prophet thus places the AoD as Rev. 13 says he does go read it, he gets the people to create an IMAGE of the Beast.....the AoD is not the AC, he only gets it done by a Jesus hater like himself, they have this Jesus hate in common.

Then ono 30 days later does the AC conquer Israel, thus the Jews who repented have 30 days to Flee Judea for the Petra/Bozrah region. Thus he comes on the scene 75 days after the 2 witnesses thus he must die 75 days after they die.

Revelation 11:1-19KJV
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
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.
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.
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.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 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 their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 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 dwelt on the earth.
11 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 fell upon them which saw them.
12 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.
13 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, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

I agree that the beast and the 2 witnesses will be fighting against each other during the same time, 3.5 years, the time of the great tribulation.

This verse, "12 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," I believe is the moment the 3.5 years ends. The death, resurrection, and rapture of the 2 witnesses will fulfill Matthew 24:30 "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven." These 2 witnesses will be in heaven as the sign of the Son of man in heaven. When? Matthew 24:29 " Immediately after the tribulation of those days." Compare the sign of the Son of man in heaven with the sign of Jonah that Jesus fulfilled.

Revelation 11:15-19, the time of the 7th trumpet or 3rd woe is in my opinion, the same period time of given for Revelation chapters 15 and 16, the time of God's wrath, the time period immediately following the great tribulation. The fight between Satan, Michael and their human counterparts will be over at this point and God will pour out his wrath as stated in Revelation 15:1 "And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God." Note that the 7 last plagues are God's wrath. God's wrath is not the great tribulation. God will not pour out more wrath in Revelation 19. God's wrath, whenever it is mentioned in Revelation chapters 6-19 is the same wrath. It always follows the period of great tribulation.

My best guess is that God's wrath will be poured out in 75 days. Daniel 12:12 "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days." 1335 - 1260 = 75.

IMO the two witnesses are Enoch and Elijah, both of whom never died.

IMO the two witnesses are Enoch and Elijah, both of whom never died.

IMO the 2 witnesses are 2 churches. If 7 candlesticks are revealed to be 7 churches, 2 candlesticks must be 2 churches or the symbolism falls apart. Revelation 1:1 "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:" If God is using signs to give us revelation, interpreting the same signs differently brings chaos instead of revelation IMO.

IMO the 2 churches/witnesses are comprised of the 144,000. In Revelation 11, the 2 witnesses are in heaven at the end of the great tribulation, before any others. In Revelation 14:1, the 144,000 are in heaven, before any others, at the end of the great tribulation of Revelation 13. "And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads." This special rapture into heaven is not found anywhere else in the bible to my knowledge, making it hard to believe these are separate groups or people.

There is NO rapture to Heaven written. That idea is from men's doctrines particularly from the false Pre-trib Rapture theory. Paul says caught up into the "air" on Jesus' descent back to earth in the clouds, which is not Heaven.

Deeper...

There exists 2 different dimensions or realms of existence written of in God's Word, this earthly one we live, and the heavenly one where God's Abode and the angels are, invisible behind a symbolic veil.

Per Genesis 2, God was here with His Paradise of the Garden of Eden, literally here on earth. That is our blueprint for the day of Jesus' return back to this earth, and especially Rev.21-22 about the full Godhead returning to live on earth, to include God's River and the Tree of Life.

So I wish folks would start thinking beyond their little flesh bodies, because using the flesh to compare to God's Kingdom is like the thinking of primitive tribes that barely discovered fire.
