Today we read Ezekiel 29-32 and Revelation 11.
In Revelation 11 God sends out his two witnesses. Two witnesses are better than one. They are 'bonafide.' Charges would not be seriously charged without two witnesses in the day Revelation was written. Therefore, you need two for it to be legitimate. Notice something else: they have power concerning the rain. Who does that sound like? Elijah had such authority, remember? Elijah has always been the 'chief' prophet. That witness represents the prophets.
Did you notice what else they can do? The plagues of blood...who does that sound like? Remember Moses and his struggle with Pharoah. God used Moses to bring the law to the people and he has always represented the law. In the day that Revelation was written God's Word was referred to as 'the law and the prophets.' Therefore, we understand that these olive tree lampstands proclaim the Word of God or shed light on the Word of God. Notice what happens when the world tries to snuff out the Word of God. You can see it in Revelation 11.11- But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
What is the message to all the ages? You cannot snuff out the Word of God. The testimony of the Lord may grow dormant in one region for a time or another region for another time, but God's Word will always stand and it can never be stopped.
You can let your life stand on It and share It as you go without any hesitation. Let's do that today!
