Manna Ministries with Patrick Sims - Lesson 64 - Death and Resurrection of the Two Witnesses - Revelation 11

Revelation 11 presents a powerful prophetic vision centered on God’s authority, witness, judgment, and ultimate victory during the final days. The chapter opens with John being given a measuring rod and instructed to measure the temple of God, the altar, and the worshippers, symbolizing God’s ownership, protection, and judgment over what is truly His. The outer court is left unmeasured and given to the Gentiles, who will tread down the holy city for forty-two months, representing a period of tribulation and opposition. At the heart of the chapter are the Two Witnesses, divinely appointed prophets who testify for 1,260 days (three and a half years). They are described as two olive trees and two candlesticks, standing before the God of the earth. These witnesses are granted extraordinary power:Fire proceeds from their mouths against their enemiesThey can shut heaven so it does not rainThey can turn waters to bloodThey can strike the earth with plaguesWhen their testimony is finished, the beast from the bottomless pit makes war against them, overcomes them, and kills them. Their bodies lie in the street of the great city—spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where also the Lord was crucified. The world rejoices over their deaths, celebrating and exchanging gifts. After three and a half days, the spirit of life from God enters the two witnesses. They stand on their feet, terrifying those who see them, and are then called up to heaven in a cloud. A great earthquake follows, destroying a tenth of the city and killing seven thousand people, causing the survivors to give glory to God. The chapter concludes with the sounding of the seventh trumpet, marking a turning point in Revelation. Loud voices in heaven proclaim: “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” (KJV) The twenty-four elders worship God, declaring that the time has come for judgment, reward for God’s servants, and the destruction of those who corrupt the earth. The chapter ends with the temple of God opened in heaven, revealing the ark of His testament, accompanied by lightning, voices, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail—symbols of divine presence and final authority.For more Episodes of this show and all shows produced, broadcasted and syndicated from REL-MAR McConell Media Company and The 'X' Zone Broadcast Network and the 'X' Zone TV Channell, visit www.xzbn.net.
