Amos 3:7 says God does nothing without revealing it to His prophets. Has God stopped doing things? Not all prophecies of God are recorded in the Bible as we can see in the Bible. If prophecy has ceased, how will the two witnesses prophesy?

Who do you say the two witnesses are?

How does that respond to his post? How can he know who they are? And even if he did he never claimed to

I know who they are, but most here are still not able to received it.

There are only 2 because one can either be for or against a particular thing. There are only true witnesses and false. And both have power.

Huh?

How did you come up with that? Yeah, I know there are two but the other stuff makes no sense. Where in Scripture does it say whatever you just said?

No man can serve two masters. But to God, both types of people are His witnesses Having both died according to that which has power over death. This is how they witness to us. By doing the same things that got them in the grave, it can only lead us into the same place as well. Something has to change, and together we will bring heaven on earth.

For this reason alone I find my joy, to see heaven with my own eyes.

OK. How about this one. First off, Rev 11:3-4 is allegorical. Correct? Obviously, you will not be seeing a candlestick and a olive tree moving about doing their stuff. It obviously is identifying something else. What is it? Rev 1:20 holds one answer. The other is in Rom 11:10-24. Romans is talking about the olive tree (Jews) having branches graffed into the olive tree (Gentiles). Since one of the two witnesses is the olive tree, (Jews), and the other one is the candlestick, (church), these are your two witnesses. The church and the Jews. The Bible will give you the definition somewhere in it.

You are correct in that the Olive tree being Israel, but as Paul describes, they're two trees. One wild and one natural. These are your witnesses that make up all of Israel, both Jew and Gentile according to the flesh. Vessels of mercy have their power from God. Vessels of wrath also have their power from God.

Read it again. I did not say the olive tree was Israel. That's the fig tree in Matt 24:32 and Mark 13:28. I said the olive tree is the Jews. That's the people. Not the land. Israel is not going to prophecy. The state of Israel can't speak. Jews can. The church can.
