Elijah the Tishibite turned the heart of Israel from Baalim/Jezebelism (false religion corrupting the Church then) back to the Lord their God on MT Carmel Just before he ran before King Ahab to Jezreel, QUITE A HERALD! Mal 4:5,6 is a two-fold prophecy; John turned the Heart of the fathers to the children (Luk 1:17) by calling them out of the Pharisaic/Sadducee apostasy back to the "wisdom of the just" ..... yep... justification by faith but not by traditional religious works!, the end time Elijah turns the heart of the children from Christian apostasy back to the apostolic fathers as he runs from "Carmel" to "Jezreel" before the King. Remember the Christian Church is full of Baal-ism or "balaamism" and Jezbelism as clearly stated in Rev chap 2. Oh, it has to be a dynamic work involving dissecting the whole Church from apostolic times to date, and the scriptures that have to pertain to such a monumental work must be centered on the SEVEN CHURCH AGES AND THE SEALS! BY THIS DOUBLE-AGED SWORD ELIJAH ONCE MORE DESTROYS CHRISTIAN BAALISM AND JEZEBELISM from the elect, ON MT CARMEL ... well John John pointed to the Lamb that takes away the sin of the world, end time Elijah should point us to the King, the headstone, the Son of prosperity ... heralding the coming JOSEPH ... with a trumpet crying ..."bow the knee! bow the knee ... JOSEPH .. OH NO!... JESUS IS COMING! LORD OF LORDS, KING OF KINGS. ( even so come Lord Jesus!)
Oh, I HOPE YOU DON'T GET TIRED READING ME!.........WITH A TWO-EDGED SWORD OF THE KING.........ELIJAH DESTROYED literally the apostate clergy! Elisha and Jehu followed suit! sure we need the three man again!
The great bible themes runs from Gen. to Rev. To get it correctly one has to run the chain-link without splitting hairs. The ministry of the two witnesses is such a theme. It runs from Gen to Rev.
- You can see them with the LORD visiting Abraham to confirm the convent to him,
- Then the two heads to Sodom to confirm the cry about it.
- Moses made two cherubim upon the ark of the covenant over against the mercy seat
- Solomon made the same out of an olive tree…sign of oil…the anointing
- Daniel made with a messenger like that of Rev 10 in Dan 10 and in Dan 12 they appear with Him on either side of the river.
- Clearly Zechariah and Haggai prophesied under the anointing OF THE TWO during the rebuilding of the temple: the two olive trees, the two branches, the two lamp stands.
- So revelation 11 is quite supported!!
The ministry of the two is clearly stated in the phrase: “My Witnesses”
- A witness is to confirm a covenant
- Is to testify about the same
- Must be an eye-witness ………………………. That is why all have at least two eyes?
Yes, in the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be settled……………….??
No true covenant is to be confirmed by one witness. It must be two and the two must agree ……..the way our eyes perfectly agree … oh, yes …. Even our hands too?? What of our legs??? Do they agree? And the ears????..........the eyes sees, the ears hears, the legs steps over and our hands reaches out…….perfectly in agreement! My! I see it!
- That which was from the beginning
- Which we have heard…….ears?
- Which we have seen…..well, eyes??
- Which we have looked upon……..a closer view …… walk closer, legs! Don’t criticize from far… a true witness has to come around! you might change your mind/opinion as you approach……. By the way “Is there anything good from Nazareth?” … “come and see!”
- And our hands have handled of the Word of life ………for life was manifested and we have seen it and now bear witness…? Oh what a wonderful group of witnesses!
Sorry, well, that is only by the way….
But notice the ministry of a herald is not to witness but to prepare the way…..he is a crier! Oh, he has a trumpet on his mouth announcing the soon arrival of a King…..bow the knee! Joseph is almost here! It is the mouth that cries and by the way, any being has only one mouth, cause to have more is hideousness……..so a forerunner must be a one-man ministry!
Eye witnesses ………….a herald….quite different!
INTERESTING enough:
- Jesus called Christ---anointed one---died being crucified in Jerusalem to establish Gods Covenant to Abraham and his seed? He was killed and raised within 3 days………….
- The two witnesses arrive in a city called Egypt and Sodom where our Lord was killed with a testimony to confirm the covenant in three and half years? … and they are olive trees, anointed like Christ Himself? christs not Christs … Killed and raised within 31/2 days?
