Revelation 11

Revelation 11 - The two witness's are revealed- first you must understand what a witness is-A witness is someone or person who visually or spiritually (as in a vision) observes an event and is able to describe the event as though in a court of law. The first witness observed the system which we know as the law and since is dubbed the "lawgiver" and that is the testimony of Moses and Moses is predicted as a witness since although he departed his body, which we call death, his life force was not abated nor stopped (see: Deuteronomy 34:7-10) as he was made to know the glory (shekinah) of the LORD and his skin did glow or shine. The second witness is that of John the Revelator or John the Beloved of the LORD as he witnessed the system we call "Grace" or unmerited favour of God. John is told he must prophecy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings, however, this could not occur since he was banished to the isle of Patmos and limited in exposure. Jesus denoted John's role as he foretold John would "tarry" until HE would come (again see: John 21:20-25). John also identified himself as in Revelation 1:9 as he declares himself both as a brother and companion in tribulation, the deception is set for the coming of Elijah who had already appeared but was not honoured as such but denied except as the spirit and power of Elijah as John the Baptist, but we all know according to the scripture man has only one spirit not two. John the Beloved, however, did not die but ascended into heaven where he awaits his journey as the second witness. (see: Revelation 4:1-2 & 10:8-11)
