Hi all,
First time here I am Allen 71 years old and been a Christian for many years and like to understand and search the scriptures to find the answers to the hard stuff.
Things like I assumed the 2 whitenesses in revelation must be Enoch and Elijah because they are the only 2 people in the Bible that didn’t die and because of the scripture that everybody has to die once human logic then assumes the 2 whitenesses would be them.
But I have now gone back to the old assumption of them being Moses and Elijah ( representative of the Law and the Prophets ) because in the Bible there are 5 raptures Enoch, Elijah, Jesus, the rapture of all the Christians those asleep in Jesus and most importantly those who are alive and DON’T DIE plus the 2 whitenesses themselves.
Dear friend, the two witnesses represent gentil and Jewish believers the only two peoples of Elohim. Their three day death was during the Roman Empire and Catholic era 300 years.

Many thanks for your input no body knows we will have to wait and see and it doesn’t really matter it is just of great interest to those of us that like to find answers if possible in Gods word as we are only given what the Lord wants us to know at any given time.
The Transfiguration also fascinates me being Jesus Moses and Elijah
1 because Moses was not allowed to go to the promised land and there he is in the promised land.
2 Moses actually meets Jesus in the flesh
3 Jesus is discussing with them about what was about to happen to Him ( Luke 9 who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.) maybe He was preparing them for his coming to collect them after His resurrection.

It's difficult to lay down a doctorate in theology in a chat box, but a lot of what people argue for the rapture pre-tribulation etc; That's just a European philosophy.

Each to their own what they want to believe because doctorate in theology always causes arguments but I read the scriptures and take on peoples views and decide what my own mind and hopefully with guidance from the holy spirit and accept that unless someone points out a different view that is a better fit than previously accepted.
All of this is only to further interest and knowledge of the Bible if like me I like to learn Gods Word and the truths therein but it all doesn’t matter really as long as you have been saved and know it that's all you need.

I did the same thing until the Holy Spirit gave me this doctorate. I have a GED.

Brother, I can`t teach you anything; read the bible and ask Jesus.
