THE SONS OF OILRevelation 11:1 And there was given me a reed (NOT A ROD FOR MEASUREMENT, BUT A REED TO PUNISH) like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the Temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
SATAN IS SITTING IN IT.
11:2 But the court which is without the Temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles (NATIONS): and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
ANY PROPHECY GIVEN IN MONTHS (MOONS) IS WRITTEN FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT.
FORTY TWO MOONS = THREE AND A HALF YEARS (CHRIST SHORTENED IT TO FIVE MONTHS; MARK 13:20, REV. 9:10-11).
MOONS ARE TEN DAYS SHORTER IN THE SOLAR CALENDAR.
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 (SYMBOLIC FOR MOURNING).
ANY PROPHECY GIVEN IN DAYS IS WRITTEN FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE DAY (HIS PEOPLE). IT'S TEN DAYS LONGER THAN THE FORTY TWO MONTHS.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE TWO WITNESSES WILL BE HERE TEN DAYS BEFORE THE BAD ONE APPEARS.
GOD ALWAYS FOREWARNS.
ZECHARIAH SPEAKS OF THESE TWO WITNESSES:
Zechariah 4:11 Then answered I, and said unto him, "What are these olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof ?"
4:12 And I answered again, and said unto him, "What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves ?"
4:13 And he answered me and said, "Knowest thou not what these be ?" And I said, "No, my lord."
4:14 Then said he, "These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
THE TWO ANOINTED ONES = THE TWO SONS OF OIL IN THE HEBREW.THEY ARE THE TWO WITNESSES OF REV. 11.
WHO ARE THESE TWO WITNESSES ?
ELIJAH IS ONE (GOD TOOK HIM; HE DIDN'T DIE), AND I BELIEVE THE SECOND ONE IS MOSES, THE LAW GIVER. HOWEVER, IT CAN ALSO BE ENOCH (HE DIDN'T DIE EITHER).
MAKE A NOTE OF GEN. 5:24, II KINGS 2:1, MALACHI 4.
LET'S GO BACK TO REVELATION 11.
Revelation 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.
GOD WILL GIVE SUPERNATURAL POWERS TO THESE WITNESSES.
11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters (SYMBOLIC OF PEOPLE; REV. 17:15) to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
AND AGAIN, THEY HAD SUPERNATURAL POWERS.
11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast (SATAN; REV. 17:8) that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
IT WILL HAPPEN ON THE 6TH SEAL, SIX TRUMP.
SATAN WILL KILL THE TWO WITNESSES.
11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street (PLATEIA IN THE GREEK = SQUARE) of the great city (JERUSALEM), which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt (GOLGOTHA= SCULL), where also our Lord was crucified.
11:9 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.
WHY ? BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY TOLD THE PEOPLE THEY WILL RESURRECT IN THREE AND A HALF DAYS, AND THE KENITES (SATAN'S OFFSPRING) DID NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN, LIKE IT DID WITH JESUS.
11:10 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 dwell on the earth.
THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD (INCLUDING DECEIVED CHRISTIANS) ARE PARTYING BECAUSE THE TWO WITNESSES WERE KILLED.
11:11 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 (PARALYZING FEAR IN THE GREEK) fell upon them which saw them.
AT THAT TIME, THEY REALIZED THEY WERE DECEIVED.
THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THE SCRIPTURES, BUT FOLLOWED MEN'S DOCTRINES, AND THOUGHT THEY WILL BE RAPTURED AWAY FROM HERE. THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THAT THE FIRST ONE COMING IS A FAKE.
11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, "Come up hither." And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud (GOD'S VEHICLE ; EZ. 1); and their enemies beheld them (SAW THEM).
THEIR MISSION HERE ON EARTH WAS DONE.
11:13 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 (GOD DESTROYS THE SEVEN THOUSAND FALLEN ANGELS THAT WERE HERE WITH SATAN): and the remnant were afrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
11:14 The second woe is past; and behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
11:15 And the seventh angel sounded (THE 7TH TRUMP); and there were great voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of the world are become the kingdoms of our LORD, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever."
CHRIST HAS RETURNED (AFTER THE TRIBULATION).
11:16 And the four and twenty elders (THE 12 PATRIARCHS AND THE 12 APOSTLES), which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
11:17 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.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN HEAVEN.
11:18 And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead (SPIRITUALLY 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 (REVERENCE) Thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy (CORRUPT) the earth."
JUDGMENT FOR HIS SERVANTS IS REWARD.
11:19 And the Temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His Temple the ark of the testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail (THESE ARE THE TWO WARS : ARMAGEDDON* AND HIMMENGOG*).
THE ARK OF THE COVENANT IS IN HEAVEN. IT WENT BACK WITH ELIJAH BECAUSE MEN WEREN'T FIT TO HAVE IT.
ARMAGEDDON = Jerusalem and its surroundings will be destroyed upon Christ's return.
Why ? Because the "unclean" (Satan) was sitting in His temple playing God.
Make a note of Matthew 24:2.
HIMMENGOG = The other battle which takes place in Alaska.
Russia along with its allies will attack the U.S. through Alaska. However, God will put a stop to it as soon as it starts. We are all changed into our spiritually body at the time.
Make a note of Ezekiel 38.
GOD BLESS
