Article copyright © 2002 by Ekkehardt MŸller. The Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 Ekkehardt MŸller Biblical Research Institute Revelation 11:1Ð13 contains two scenes, the first one focusing on an act of measuring and the second one dealing with two witnesses. The latter scene, one of the most difficult passages in Revelation, has been explained in a number of ways. The two witnesses have been understood as representing Enoch and Eli- jah, Moses and Elijah, Elijah and Jeremiah, eschatological prophets not directly identified with OT prophets, Peter and Paul, Stephen and James the Just, James and John, John the Baptist and Jesus, James the Just and James the son of Zebe- dee, the high priests Ananias and Joshua, the OT and the NT, the Law and the Prophets, the prophetic witness of the church, Òthe true spiritual value of the Israelite religion preserved intact in Christianity,Ó and the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ.1 It is obvious that the passage Rev 11:3Ð13 is highly symbolical, as is true for the entire apocalyptic part of Revelation (chapters 4Ð22a). This leaves us with two main options. Either the two witnesses point to the church or the church and the synagogue, or the two witnesses represent the OT and the NT. Although many expositors identify the two witnesses with two historical per- sons, mainly from the OT, nevertheless they oftentimes regard them as repre- sentatives of the church.

  • Revelation 10 Good Morning Church. Let Us Pray… the Apostle Paul in the Very Last Letter He Penned, to a Young Pastor Named Timothy Spoke These Words
    P a g e | 1 Revelation 10 Good Morning Church. Let us pray… The Apostle Paul in the very last letter he penned, to a young pastor named Timothy spoke these words. 2 Tim 4:1-5 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. Understand this time that Paul warned about is upon us. P a g e | 2 Today, many people do not want to endure sound doctrine or Bible teaching. Instead, they desire uplifting and positive messages. And many popcorn preachers today cater to the ‘good vibes’ people desire and demand. I say popcorn preachers, because they pop through the scriptures, picking delightful treats, and tantalizing morsels throughout the Word. Today preachers actually will not talk about hell and the consequences of sin. The reality of all of that really is to depressing. Today entertainment and good energy have taken a prominent place in ministries. Fables and wonderful stories have captivated many Christian Churches.

  • Revelation 10 a Mighty Angel; No Further Delay; the ‘Little’ Book: Sweet to Eat – Bitter to Digest
    Revelation 10 A Mighty Angel; No Further Delay; The ‘Little’ Book: Sweet to Eat – Bitter to Digest This section of Revelation, starting at Rev. 10:1 and which continues to Rev. 11:14, follows the book’s given narrative pattern and comprises a supplemental interlude between the sounding of the 6th and 7th TRUMPETS [as chapter 7 did for the 6th and 7th SEALS]. This portion of scripture describes the general events and conditions prevailing during the final Tribulation ‘week’ prophesied by Daniel’s 70x70 Weeks of Years {Dan. 9:24-27} which span the seven year peace treaty of the anti-Christ. These events bridge the 1st and 2nd half of this ‘seventieth week’ of Daniel’s prophecy – the latter includes the period of time related to the 1st thru 6th TRUMPET JUDGMENTS during the GREAT TRIBULATION – JACOB'S TROUBLE. The following is a summary of these events: • Another ‘mighty angel’ appears holding an opened ‘little scroll’, who evidently claims the earth and sea on behalf of Heaven and its King, the LORD Jesus Christ. • There will be no more delay; the ‘MYSTERY OF GOD’ is to be finished. • The ‘little scroll’ which is opened and John is told to eat. It tastes sweet as honey in the mouth, but it causes heartburn (sour stomach). • John is told he must prophecy again (i.e. in further detail) about many peoples, nations, tongues and kings. • The Temple, the altar of prayer and worshipers are measured. But the ‘outer court’ is excluded and given to the Gentiles for 42 months. • Two Witnesses prophecy for 1260 days (42 months or 3 ½ years).

  • Revelation Jon Paulien
    The Facebook Commentary on Revelation Jon Paulien Revelation Chapter 10 Each post begins with “Rev”, then the chapter number, if the comment is of general significance, and then a verse reference, if the comment is specific to that verse (ex: Rev 10:4: ). Since I hope to write a book on Revelation 10-14 soon, Revelation 10 is the first chapter to be written on. Rev 10:1 - 11:13 Introduction– For me, Revelation 10:1-11:13 has been as difficult to interpret as any other part of Revelation. This passage seems at first to separate the sixth from the seventh trumpets and is of a different character than that of the trumpets. Instead of horrific judgments and natural catastrophies, there is prophecy, preaching, and the experience of God's people. As a result, this passage is often called an “interlude” or change of pace in the midst of the seven trumpets. Whereas the trumpets express judgments on the opponents of God’s people, the interlude focuses on the people of God themselves. The “interlude” in the seven trumpets is similar to one in Revelation 7 (the sixth seal ends at the close of Revelation 6 but the seventh seal is not broken until Revelation 8). Revelation 7 answers the question of Revelation 6:17: When the wrath of the Lamb comes to the world “Who will be able to stand?” Both interludes, therefore, offer views of what the people of God are doing as they face opposition just before Jesus’ return. Is the material in Revelation 10-11 part of the seven trumpets or is it separate from them? This is a question we can answer with certainty.

  • Revelation 10:1-11)
    “The Bittersweet Book” (Revelation 10:1-11) Why does God allow human suffering and death? Why does He allow evil to go unpunished? When will He break the silence and punish the wicked? Have you ever been asked such questions? I have. Have you personally asked any of these questions? I have. This may be the most difficult biblical question to answer this side of eternity. It is the one question that no Christian wants to be asked. After all, many people say they can’t accept a God who stands by and lets evil continue in the world. Even Christians have fallen away from Christ because they couldn’t harmonize the reality of evil and suffering with a God of love. Yet, for those that are interested, the Bible provides an answer to this dilemma in Revelation 10:1-11. 1 Before we delve into our passage, let’s get our bearings. Revelation 10:1-11:14 is a parenthetical vision. The opening of the seventh seal was preceded by two visions (7:1-8; 11-17), so here, the sounding of the seventh trumpet is preceded by two visions (10:1-11; 11:1-14). The emphasis shifts temporarily from the outpouring of God’s wrath on unbelievers to the consolation and encouragement of believers. 1. Trust and Time God’s promises (10:1-7). In 10:1, John sees “another 2 strong 3 angel 4 coming down out of heaven.” A “strong angel” is referred to three times in Revelation (see also 5:2 and 18:21).

Revelation 17 & 18 Revelation 17: In this chapter of Revelation, John draws our attention to a city, the “great harlot” also known as Babylon the Great! • Descriptions of the “great harlot” are: the mother of harlots-“harlotry is the standing symbol in the word of God for a debauched or perverted worship, idolatry, and false devotion.” She is the influence of fornications, clothed in purple scarlet, gold, precious stoned and pearls. She holds a golden cup full of abominations and filthiness and is drunk with the blood of the saints and martyrs of God. She is the false church! • Babylon the Great: begins in Gen. 9:22-26,10:8-10, 11:2-4 “Ham begat a son named Cush, and he became the father of Nimrod who was the first one after the Flood to organize rebellion against God (the tower of Babel). From that rebellion came the mysteries of idolatry, and every heathen system in the world. • From Babylon a mysterious religion spread to all the surrounding nations as the years went on, and the world was populated by the sons of Noah.

    Revelation Revisited, Session 8 1 THE BOOK OF REVELATION, REVISITED 2 Wednesday, December 16, 2020/First Assembly of God/Ft. Myers, FL 3 with Pastor Dan Betzer 4 5 DEADLY INTERLUDE (Chapter 10) 6 7 God’s wrath in the Tribulation is divided into three sets of judgments: 8 9 1. The Seal Judgments – Chapters 6 to 8 10 2. The Trumpet Judgments – Chapters 8 - 10 11 I N T E R L U D E 12 3. The Vial Judgments – Chapters 16-18 13 14 Today we study Revelation 10 to 12: The Interlude just prior to the Vial 15 Judgments. As of this study, we have passed into the second half of the 16 seven-year period known better, perhaps, as The Great Tribulation. 17 18 Chapter ten is the hiatus, the interlude between the sixth and seventh 19 trumpets. In this section, three personalities are introduced including the 20 two witnesses who are not identified. 21 22 Revelation 10:1 23 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with 24 a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were 25 the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire… 26 27 Is this mighty angel Jesus? Most great scholars say, “No.” It is as the 28 scripture clearly points out, a mighty angel. Christ does not appear in 29 Revelation as an angel. He is clothed in what appears to be a cloud and a 30 rainbow was upon his head. His face was bright as the sun is bright.

  • Revelation 2014 Edition Dr
    Notes on Revelation 2014 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable Introduction HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The opening verses of the book state that "John" wrote it (1:1, 4, 9; cf. 22:8). From the first century to the present day almost all orthodox scholars have concluded that this means the Apostle John.1 Two noteworthy exceptions were Luther and Zwingli. Today many scholars who accept the divine inspiration of the book believe the Apostle John wrote it. Others, of course, believe some other John wrote the book.2 Some of the early church fathers (Clement of Alexandria, Eusebius, Irenaeus, and Victorinus) wrote that the Apostle John experienced exile on the island of Patmos during Domitian's reign (1:9).3 They wrote that the government allowed John to return to Ephesus after this emperor died. Domitian died in A.D. 96. Consequently many conservative interpreters date the writing of this book near A.D. 95 or 96.4 Kenneth Gentry argued that John wrote Revelation in the late 60s.5 Several writers have refuted this preterist view.6 "Perhaps more than any other book in the NT, the Apocalypse enjoyed wide distribution and early recognition."7 Where did John get the revelation that he wrote down in this book? He said that he received it from Jesus Christ through angelic mediation (1:1). Most of the details of this revelation were undoubtedly new to John. However there are remarkable parallels between this revelation and the Lord Jesus' teaching in the Olivet Discourse (Matt. 24— 25; Mark 13; Luke 21). The Book of Revelation clearly builds on that foundation and 1See Robert L.

  • In Revelation 11,18 – Who Are They?
    The “Destroyers of the Earth” in Revelation 11,18 – Who are they? Eliezer González Abstract Revelation 11,18 is a verse that is commonly cited specifically in connection with caring for the earth and its natural resources. This paper will argue that in its appropriate context, the destruction of the earth to which Rev 11,18 refers is not the degradation of the natural environment of the earth. Rather, it refers to the outpouring of the seven plagues, for which ultimate responsibility, although it is God’s action, is attributed to the nations under the leadership of the beast. It is therefore exegetically inappropriate to use Rev 11,18 as a de-contextualized proof- text to urge environmental responsibility. Key Words Revelation – Two Witnesses – Ecology – Environment – Plagues – Destruction – Exegesis Resumen Apocalipsis 11,18 es un texto que se cita comúnmente en relación con el cuidado de la tierra y sus recursos naturales. Este artículo mostrará que, en su contexto apropiado, la destrucción de la tierra a la que se refiere Ap 11,18 no es la degradación del medio ambiente natural de la Tierra. Más bien, se refiere al derramamiento de las siete plagas, cuya responsabilidad última, aunque es una acción de Dios, se atribuye a la nación que está bajo el liderazgo de la bestia. Por lo tanto, es inadecuado exegéticamente usar Ap 11:18 como un texto prueba descontextualizado para instar a ser responsables con el medio ambiente. Palabras clave Apocalipsis – Dos testigos – Ecología – Medio ambiente – Plagas – Destrucción – Exégesis Introduction Revelation 11,18 is a verse that has been popularly used in some interesting contexts that were probably not in mind when the words were written.

    Naked Bible Podcast Episode 378: Revelation 10 Naked Bible Podcast Transcript Episode 378 Revelation 10 May 29, 2021 Teacher: Dr. Michael S. Heiser (MH) Host: Trey Stricklin (TS) Episode Summary Revelation 10 is a hiatus from the trumpet judgments. The chapter describes a “mighty angel” who holds a scroll that the awestruck John will take from his hand and eat. This odd language has Old Testament precedent in Ezekiel. However, it is the angel that has drawn the most attention from scholars. This angel is simultaneously described with phrases that have occurred earlier in the book—in descriptions of God and Jesus. Is this confusion on John’s part, or a theological contradiction? This episode addresses those questions. Transcript TS: Welcome to the Naked Bible Podcast, Episode 378: Revelation 10. I’m the layman, Trey Stricklin, and he’s the scholar, Dr. Michael Heiser. Hey, Mike! What's going on? MH: Hey! What's going on? Well, I think it’s better to say, “What almost went on?” TS: Uh oh. MH: I almost… No, it’s not… You’re thinking the beach. It’s not that. So you’re still safe with the “under.” Alright? But I almost went in our pool. What I mean by that is, the thought entered my mind. [TS laughs] Then I got distracted. [laughs] Seriously. TS: I was going to say you might’ve almost fallen in. MH: No, no, I was acting with intention, like, “It’s hot today; I think I’ll go in the pool for the first time.” But then I got distracted.
