Israel: The Prophetic Connection | John Tweedie - Two Prophetic Witnesses | June 9, 2026
  • Could.
  • 00:00:01.929 --> 00:00:02.963
  • Prophets who had died hundreds of years before
  • 00:00:02.963 --> 00:00:05.866
  • Suddenly reappear on earth.
  • 00:00:05.866 --> 00:00:08.002
  • Next on israel, the prophetic connection
  • 00:00:08.002 --> 00:00:11.572
  • Soft music
  • 00:00:11.572 --> 00:00:46.740
  • According to revelation chapter 11.
  • 00:00:47.541 --> 00:00:51.579
  • Two witnesses or prophets are going to appear
  • 00:00:51.579 --> 00:00:55.015
  • And speak for god, as if it were to issue
  • 00:00:55.015 --> 00:00:57.985
  • A final warning to the inhabitants of the earth.
  • 00:00:57.985 --> 00:01:01.288
  • But who are these two mysterious figures?
  • 00:01:01.288 --> 00:01:04.425
  • No one really knows.
  • 00:01:04.425 --> 00:01:05.526
  • But perhaps we can get a clue in mark chapter nine.
  • 00:01:05.526 --> 00:01:09.497
  • Behind me you can see a mound, a mountain.
  • 00:01:09.497 --> 00:01:12.633
  • It's called mount tabor in.
  • 00:01:12.633 --> 00:01:15.536
  • According to the tradition here in israel.
  • 00:01:15.536 --> 00:01:18.139
  • This is the mount of transfiguration.
  • 00:01:18.139 --> 00:01:20.508
  • The place where jesus took peter, james and john.
  • 00:01:20.508 --> 00:01:24.044
  • The bible simply says into a high mountain.
  • 00:01:24.044 --> 00:01:26.714
  • It may have been this one.
  • 00:01:26.714 --> 00:01:28.015
  • And there he was, transfigured before them.
  • 00:01:28.015 --> 00:01:30.784
  • But not only that, two figures appeared.
  • 00:01:30.784 --> 00:01:33.554
  • Moses and elijah,
  • 00:01:33.554 --> 00:01:35.322
  • Two men who had lived hundreds of years before.
  • 00:01:35.322 --> 00:01:38.659
  • Now they were appearing to jesus
  • 00:01:38.659 --> 00:01:40.694
  • Just before he went to jerusalem and to crucifixion.
  • 00:01:40.694 --> 00:01:44.165
  • Here's how the gospel writer mark has it in chapter nine,
  • 00:01:44.165 --> 00:01:47.735
  • Verse two.
  • 00:01:48.035 --> 00:01:49.136
  • Now, after six days, jesus took peter, james, and john
  • 00:01:49.136 --> 00:01:53.340
  • And led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves.
  • 00:01:53.340 --> 00:01:57.011
  • And he was transfigured before them.
  • 00:01:57.011 --> 00:01:59.580
  • In other words, his glory was revealed.
  • 00:01:59.580 --> 00:02:02.116
  • The glory of the father was revealed on him on this
  • 00:02:02.116 --> 00:02:05.819
  • Traditional mountain.
  • 00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:07.821
  • It's interesting to me that john,
  • 00:02:07.821 --> 00:02:10.090
  • With his brother james and peter, they these three,
  • 00:02:10.090 --> 00:02:13.460
  • Were given this glimpse of the glory of god.
  • 00:02:13.460 --> 00:02:17.031
  • The same john we believe that later writes
  • 00:02:17.031 --> 00:02:19.633
  • The book of revelation
  • 00:02:19.633 --> 00:02:21.101
  • And writes of the two witnesses that god's going to send
  • 00:02:21.101 --> 00:02:24.371
  • Will usher a final warning to the people on earth.
  • 00:02:24.371 --> 00:02:33.581
  • The book of revelation is god's
  • 00:02:34.215 --> 00:02:36.050
  • Final warning to a rebellious and unrepentant world.
  • 00:02:36.050 --> 00:02:39.987
  • According to revelation chapter 11.
  • 00:02:39.987 --> 00:02:42.656
  • It is a warning that will be reinforced
  • 00:02:42.656 --> 00:02:44.658
  • In the lips of two end time prophets or witnesses
  • 00:02:44.658 --> 00:02:48.529
  • Who are yet to appear on the streets of jerusalem.
  • 00:02:48.529 --> 00:02:52.166
  • The two witnesses come to jerusalem.
  • 00:02:52.967 --> 00:02:55.269
  • How do we know it's jerusalem? well.
  • 00:02:55.269 --> 00:02:57.104
  • We're told in that passage
  • 00:02:57.104 --> 00:02:58.505
  • That it's the place where our lord was crucified.
  • 00:02:58.505 --> 00:03:01.809
  • So it is the city as we know it today of jerusalem.
  • 00:03:01.809 --> 00:03:04.979
  • Jerusalem today is not a city
  • 00:03:04.979 --> 00:03:08.549
  • That's saved and everyone bowing down to the god of israel.
  • 00:03:08.549 --> 00:03:13.153
  • It still needs to be transformed by the power of god.
  • 00:03:13.153 --> 00:03:17.157
  • It needs the gospel to continue to be preached.
  • 00:03:17.157 --> 00:03:19.493
  • And those witnesses will do that in jerusalem.
  • 00:03:19.493 --> 00:03:22.129
  • Revelation chapter 11 talks about two witnesses that stand
  • 00:03:22.129 --> 00:03:27.201
  • Facing up to the whole world in the end times.
  • 00:03:27.201 --> 00:03:30.037
  • In fact, much speculation as to how news media
  • 00:03:30.037 --> 00:03:33.507
  • Will cover such an event in those times.
  • 00:03:33.507 --> 00:03:35.976
  • Who were these two witnesses?
  • 00:03:35.976 --> 00:03:37.778
  • Or who are these two witnesses to come?
  • 00:03:37.778 --> 00:03:40.581
  • Some say moses.
  • 00:03:40.581 --> 00:03:42.116
  • Others say elijah. enoch.
  • 00:03:42.116 --> 00:03:44.752
  • Maybe somebody else we haven't considered.
  • 00:03:44.752 --> 00:03:47.321
  • Well, i can tell you this
  • 00:03:47.321 --> 00:03:48.355
  • From living in jerusalem for over 35 years,
  • 00:03:48.355 --> 00:03:52.226
  • That these witnesses have been walking around
  • 00:03:52.226 --> 00:03:54.428
  • With briefcases, claiming to be the
  • 00:03:54.428 --> 00:03:56.897
  • One of the last two witnesses.
  • 00:03:56.897 --> 00:03:58.799
  • Maybe it is also the testimony
  • 00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:01.702
  • Of the church and of israel together in the end times.
  • 00:04:01.702 --> 00:04:05.005
  • Maybe it's the messianic body of jew and gentile,
  • 00:04:05.005 --> 00:04:08.776
  • One and messiah, but this event will shake the world
  • 00:04:08.776 --> 00:04:13.113
  • To a point that the world will shudder in fear.
  • 00:04:13.113 --> 00:04:18.118
  • But who are these two witnesses who have the authority
  • 00:04:18.118 --> 00:04:20.921
  • And power of heaven at their disposal?
  • 00:04:20.921 --> 00:04:24.191
  • The two witnesses are a really mysterious pair
  • 00:04:25.159 --> 00:04:29.063
  • Of figures, and a lot has been speculated about them.
  • 00:04:29.063 --> 00:04:33.267
  • But it does say that these are the olive branches.
  • 00:04:33.267 --> 00:04:36.637
  • And i believe that the two olive trees of romans chapter 11
  • 00:04:36.637 --> 00:04:42.176
  • Really might offer us a key to their identity.
  • 00:04:42.176 --> 00:04:45.813
  • Here we have the two olive trees in romans chapter 11,
  • 00:04:45.813 --> 00:04:48.549
  • The cultivated olive tree and the wild olive tree.
  • 00:04:48.549 --> 00:04:50.984
  • The cultivated olive tree of israel,
  • 00:04:50.984 --> 00:04:52.720
  • The jewish people, and the wild olive tree of the gentiles.
  • 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.956
  • And it may be that these two witnesses
  • 00:04:55.956 --> 00:04:58.292
  • Represent the jews and the gentiles.
  • 00:04:58.292 --> 00:05:00.461
  • The the one new man in time body, the bride of christ.
  • 00:05:00.461 --> 00:05:04.298
  • They're the two representatives of the
  • 00:05:04.298 --> 00:05:06.066
  • The fullness of god's people, israel and the nations together
  • 00:05:06.066 --> 00:05:10.137
  • In the end times as a witness.
  • 00:05:10.137 --> 00:05:13.107
  • Before the return of the lord.
  • 00:05:13.107 --> 00:05:15.275
  • If these two end time witnesses are real people,
  • 00:05:15.275 --> 00:05:18.445
  • Then who are they?
  • 00:05:18.445 --> 00:05:20.414
  • We don't know who they are,
  • 00:05:20.414 --> 00:05:22.049
  • But they're reminiscent of
  • 00:05:22.616 --> 00:05:24.051
  • Two great prophets of old moses and elijah.
  • 00:05:24.051 --> 00:05:27.087
  • Both of them had unusual powers.
  • 00:05:27.087 --> 00:05:28.956
  • Moses was able to
  • 00:05:28.956 --> 00:05:30.991
  • Put out his staff and
  • 00:05:30.991 --> 00:05:33.327
  • The red sea parts.
  • 00:05:33.327 --> 00:05:35.229
  • Moses was able to do all kinds of things.
  • 00:05:35.229 --> 00:05:37.197
  • Turn a snake into a staff, and vice versa.
  • 00:05:37.197 --> 00:05:39.867
  • And you've got elijah, who was able
  • 00:05:39.867 --> 00:05:41.368
  • To call down fire from heaven when he prayed.
  • 00:05:41.368 --> 00:05:44.171
  • Rain stopped and prayed again, and the rain started again.
  • 00:05:44.171 --> 00:05:48.409
  • So these are men with incredible power and authority
  • 00:05:48.409 --> 00:05:51.612
  • That arrive on the earth, and they declare the word of god.
  • 00:05:51.612 --> 00:05:54.782
  • We know that moses and elijah appeared on
  • 00:05:54.782 --> 00:05:57.551
  • The mount of transfiguration with jesus and peter.
  • 00:05:57.551 --> 00:06:00.721
  • James and john were there. they saw them.
  • 00:06:00.721 --> 00:06:03.056
  • Whether that was a vision
  • 00:06:03.056 --> 00:06:04.258
  • Or they actually came down for that moment, we don't know.
  • 00:06:04.258 --> 00:06:06.860
  • But it's not surprising that people like moses
  • 00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:09.897
  • And elijah would show up in these latter days to proclaim
  • 00:06:09.897 --> 00:06:12.900
  • That last message before the return of the lord.
  • 00:06:12.900 --> 00:06:16.870
  • And we know that there is a forerunner that comes,
  • 00:06:16.870 --> 00:06:19.907
  • Speaks of it him as elijah.
  • 00:06:19.907 --> 00:06:22.609
  • And so here again, we have forerunners
  • 00:06:22.609 --> 00:06:26.246
  • Ushering in the coming of the lord,
  • 00:06:26.246 --> 00:06:27.848
  • Proclaiming the word of god in boldness against great
  • 00:06:27.848 --> 00:06:31.118
  • Odds.
  • 00:06:31.351 --> 00:06:32.586
  • Persecution is coming upon the city of jerusalem at that time.
  • 00:06:32.586 --> 00:06:36.590
  • But why is the holy city,
  • 00:06:37.157 --> 00:06:38.692
  • Jerusalem, where the witnesses appear?
  • 00:06:38.692 --> 00:06:40.694
  • Also called sodom and egypt.
  • 00:06:40.694 --> 00:06:44.097
  • I believe that the city being referred to as sodom and egypt
  • 00:06:44.097 --> 00:06:48.268
  • May not refer just to a particular city
  • 00:06:48.268 --> 00:06:51.438
  • Or a geographical location,
  • 00:06:51.438 --> 00:06:53.474
  • But has to do with the spirit of the world.
  • 00:06:53.474 --> 00:06:56.310
  • And it has to do with with a society
  • 00:06:56.310 --> 00:06:58.479
  • That is in rebellion
  • 00:06:58.479 --> 00:06:59.646
  • To god, as opposed to the purity of the witnesses
  • 00:06:59.646 --> 00:07:02.683
  • And those who are standing for the lord.
  • 00:07:02.683 --> 00:07:04.685
  • In these last days.
  • 00:07:04.685 --> 00:07:06.253
  • Sodom and egypt are our symbols.
  • 00:07:06.253 --> 00:07:08.989
  • Are our pictures of corruption, of paganism,
  • 00:07:08.989 --> 00:07:13.527
  • Of, of of moral failure and of perversion.
  • 00:07:13.527 --> 00:07:17.631
  • And, god's people are being drawn out of those
  • 00:07:17.631 --> 00:07:22.503
  • Terrible environments
  • 00:07:23.003 --> 00:07:24.905
  • As, as they were drawn out of egypt
  • 00:07:24.905 --> 00:07:26.874
  • And as they were drawn out of sodom.
  • 00:07:26.874 --> 00:07:28.876
  • And i believe that
  • 00:07:28.876 --> 00:07:30.077
  • This is a picture of the world as it will be in the very end.
  • 00:07:30.077 --> 00:07:33.747
  • And it gives us the rationale
  • 00:07:33.747 --> 00:07:35.382
  • For god's judgments that come upon the world,
  • 00:07:35.382 --> 00:07:37.885
  • And why god is bringing such, such terrible judgments and
  • 00:07:37.885 --> 00:07:41.788
  • And bringing actually humanity to its conclusion.
  • 00:07:41.788 --> 00:07:44.992
  • It's because human society has become like egypt
  • 00:07:44.992 --> 00:07:48.862
  • And has become like sodom.
  • 00:07:48.862 --> 00:07:50.564
  • Those biblical symbols
  • 00:07:50.564 --> 00:07:51.698
  • Of perversion and paganism and rebellion against god,
  • 00:07:51.698 --> 00:07:56.103
  • According to chapter 11.
  • 00:07:56.637 --> 00:07:58.438
  • At some point,
  • 00:07:58.438 --> 00:07:59.573
  • God lifts his canopy of protection
  • 00:07:59.573 --> 00:08:01.608
  • From these two witnesses, and they are subsequently killed.
  • 00:08:01.608 --> 00:08:05.612
  • Yet their bodies are not buried.
  • 00:08:05.612 --> 00:08:07.981
  • What follows can
  • 00:08:07.981 --> 00:08:08.982
  • Only be described as a satanic or evil holiday,
  • 00:08:08.982 --> 00:08:13.186
  • As the inhabitants of a thoroughly corrupt world
  • 00:08:13.186 --> 00:08:15.789
  • Exchange gifts and celebrate the demise of these two servants
  • 00:08:15.789 --> 00:08:19.459
  • Of the most high god who had tormented them.
  • 00:08:19.459 --> 00:08:22.629
  • I believe that there's rejoicing on earth,
  • 00:08:23.497 --> 00:08:25.799
  • At the at the death of these two witnesses.
  • 00:08:25.799 --> 00:08:28.902
  • It just shows the perversion of humankind
  • 00:08:28.902 --> 00:08:31.905
  • At this particular time that they're entertainment oriented,
  • 00:08:31.905 --> 00:08:35.742
  • And they're just.
  • 00:08:35.742 --> 00:08:36.743
  • They're just looking for a thrill of any kind
  • 00:08:36.743 --> 00:08:39.313
  • And ready to rejoice in the in the murder of two
  • 00:08:39.313 --> 00:08:42.549
  • Righteous people
  • 00:08:42.549 --> 00:08:43.684
  • That were specifically chosen by god as witnesses.
  • 00:08:43.684 --> 00:08:46.853
  • It shows again that this is the this is the perversion of
  • 00:08:46.853 --> 00:08:50.657
  • Mankind and the depths to which humanity has sunk
  • 00:08:50.657 --> 00:08:53.994
  • And why god is bringing judgment on all the of all the world.
  • 00:08:53.994 --> 00:08:57.497
  • And we can begin to see
  • 00:08:57.497 --> 00:08:58.465
  • The foreshadowing of this
  • 00:08:58.465 --> 00:08:59.967
  • As we as modern society hurtles towards this presbyters.
  • 00:08:59.967 --> 00:09:04.271
  • And, i believe this is,
  • 00:09:04.271 --> 00:09:06.139
  • What is being described to us in the book of revelation.
  • 00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:09.209
  • It's a strange thing that the two witnesses
  • 00:09:09.209 --> 00:09:11.278
  • Are killed, and then the whole world rejoices at their death.
  • 00:09:11.278 --> 00:09:14.881
  • I used to find that hard to believe.
  • 00:09:15.649 --> 00:09:17.317
  • But as i see the gospel
  • 00:09:17.317 --> 00:09:19.586
  • Being proclaimed in the nations today, that there's a mocking
  • 00:09:19.586 --> 00:09:23.090
  • And there's a ridiculing of the preacher,
  • 00:09:23.090 --> 00:09:27.160
  • And there's a ridiculing
  • 00:09:27.694 --> 00:09:29.463
  • Of the people of faith and ultimately a persecution.
  • 00:09:29.463 --> 00:09:32.733
  • And we're seeing the death
  • 00:09:32.733 --> 00:09:34.735
  • Of hundreds of thousands of christians
  • 00:09:34.735 --> 00:09:37.771
  • Now in the middle east at the hand of isis and other,
  • 00:09:37.771 --> 00:09:41.608
  • Radical islamic forces.
  • 00:09:42.109 --> 00:09:44.277
  • And so, to me, i can now envision such a thing
  • 00:09:44.277 --> 00:09:47.781
  • Happening on the planet as this evil spreads.
  • 00:09:47.781 --> 00:09:52.452
  • And we know that the latter days will be a day of gross
  • 00:09:52.452 --> 00:09:56.156
  • Darkness on the earth, spiritually, even physically.
  • 00:09:56.156 --> 00:10:00.727
  • However, we understand the appearance
  • 00:10:01.528 --> 00:10:03.463
  • Of these two end time witnesses, their murders,
  • 00:10:03.463 --> 00:10:06.500
  • And the worldwide celebration of their deaths.
  • 00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:09.269
  • There is much more to come in
  • 00:10:09.269 --> 00:10:10.737
  • The remaining chapters of the book of revelation,
  • 00:10:10.737 --> 00:10:13.473
  • As john
  • 00:10:13.473 --> 00:10:14.708
  • The apostle bears witness to all that christ revealed to him
  • 00:10:14.708 --> 00:10:18.178
  • About god's judgments
  • 00:10:18.178 --> 00:10:19.479
  • On a world that refused to turn from its wicked ways.
  • 00:10:19.479 --> 00:10:22.749
  • A world that repeatedly ignores god's final warnings.
  • 00:10:22.749 --> 00:10:32.626
  • Don't go away.
  • 00:10:32.959 --> 00:10:34.161
  • After this short
  • 00:10:34.161 --> 00:10:35.295
  • Break, doctor john tweedie returns with his teaching.
  • 00:10:35.295 --> 00:10:38.732
  • What has happened in israel over the past two years
  • 00:10:38.732 --> 00:10:41.334
  • Is heartbreaking.
  • 00:10:41.334 --> 00:10:42.269
  • Lives lost, families
  • 00:10:42.269 --> 00:10:43.804
  • Torn apart, children suffering hunger and homelessness.
  • 00:10:43.804 --> 00:10:47.074
  • The people of israel are going through a time of overwhelming
  • 00:10:47.074 --> 00:10:50.177
  • Pain and despair.
  • 00:10:50.177 --> 00:10:51.511
  • But hope can still be found even in the deepest darkness.
  • 00:10:51.511 --> 00:10:55.082
  • Today, as christians, we stand together with god's
  • 00:10:55.082 --> 00:10:58.351
  • Chosen nation to rebuild what has been shattered by war.
  • 00:10:58.351 --> 00:11:01.922
  • We can fulfill god's call to comfort his people
  • 00:11:01.922 --> 00:11:04.725
  • By offering food and humanitarian aid
  • 00:11:04.725 --> 00:11:07.127
  • To those who have suffered during these difficult days,
  • 00:11:07.127 --> 00:11:09.529
  • Including thousands of children who are still at risk.
  • 00:11:09.529 --> 00:11:12.365
  • This is our moment.
  • 00:11:12.365 --> 00:11:13.734
  • Your one time gift of just $25 or more can help meet
  • 00:11:13.734 --> 00:11:17.237
  • These urgent needs and bring real hope
  • 00:11:17.237 --> 00:11:19.539
  • To hurting people of israel.
  • 00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:21.007

  • Today.
  • 00:11:45.398 --> 00:11:48.235
  • As we come to chapter 11 of the book of revelation.
  • 00:11:48.235 --> 00:11:51.571
  • I can't think of a better vantage point for this chapter
  • 00:11:51.571 --> 00:11:54.674
  • Than what you see over my shoulders.
  • 00:11:54.674 --> 00:11:56.977
  • Directly behind me, the valley of kidron that separates
  • 00:11:56.977 --> 00:12:00.447
  • The mount of olives over my right
  • 00:12:00.447 --> 00:12:02.082
  • Shoulder from zion, over my left shoulder,
  • 00:12:02.082 --> 00:12:06.153
  • And of course, among zion, also known as mount moriah,
  • 00:12:06.153 --> 00:12:10.023
  • The golden dome of the rock, a islamic shrine.
  • 00:12:10.023 --> 00:12:14.594
  • But where it stands approximately at least the first
  • 00:12:14.594 --> 00:12:18.398
  • And second temples, the jewish temples once stood.
  • 00:12:18.398 --> 00:12:22.669
  • So this land over my left shoulder, this sacred
  • 00:12:22.669 --> 00:12:26.573
  • Temple mount,
  • 00:12:26.573 --> 00:12:27.941
  • Is much in dispute today because it is sacred to the
  • 00:12:27.941 --> 00:12:31.211
  • Jewish people.
  • 00:12:31.211 --> 00:12:32.445
  • But the muslim people also have a claim on it in these days.
  • 00:12:32.445 --> 00:12:37.784
  • But it's also the setting for chapter 11
  • 00:12:37.784 --> 00:12:40.754
  • Of the book of revelation and the two witnesses
  • 00:12:40.754 --> 00:12:43.223
  • That are to come.
  • 00:12:43.223 --> 00:12:44.591
  • So as i stand here on this jerusalem afternoon,
  • 00:12:44.591 --> 00:12:47.928
  • Chapter 11 has not yet been fulfilled.
  • 00:12:47.928 --> 00:12:51.464
  • But it's part of the visions that john saw
  • 00:12:51.464 --> 00:12:55.001
  • That jesus gave him in the revelation that was to come,
  • 00:12:55.001 --> 00:12:59.206
  • That i was given a reed like a measuring rod.
  • 00:12:59.206 --> 00:13:01.908
  • And the angel stood saying, rise and measure the temple of god,
  • 00:13:01.908 --> 00:13:05.712
  • The altar, and those who worship there,
  • 00:13:05.712 --> 00:13:08.114
  • But leave out the court which is outside the temple,
  • 00:13:08.114 --> 00:13:11.318
  • And do not measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles,
  • 00:13:11.318 --> 00:13:15.555
  • And they will tread the holy city underfoot for 42 months.
  • 00:13:15.555 --> 00:13:19.893
  • And i will give power to my two witnesses,
  • 00:13:19.893 --> 00:13:22.095
  • And they will prophesy 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth.
  • 00:13:22.095 --> 00:13:28.969
  • Now these are 30 day lunar months, months
  • 00:13:28.969 --> 00:13:32.272
  • Measured by the moon phase, which,
  • 00:13:32.272 --> 00:13:34.808
  • Of course, is the way the jewish calendar measures time.
  • 00:13:34.808 --> 00:13:38.845
  • And so it's either three and a half years or 1260 days
  • 00:13:38.845 --> 00:13:43.350
  • Or 42 lunar months.
  • 00:13:43.350 --> 00:13:47.087
  • And then it says, these are the two olive trees
  • 00:13:47.087 --> 00:13:50.190
  • And the two lampstands standing before the god of the earth.
  • 00:13:50.190 --> 00:13:54.494
  • And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds
  • 00:13:54.494 --> 00:13:56.796
  • From their mouth and devours their enemies.
  • 00:13:56.796 --> 00:14:00.867
  • These two
  • 00:14:01.167 --> 00:14:02.068
  • Prophets of god come down from heaven.
  • 00:14:02.068 --> 00:14:05.338
  • Who they are is a mystery.
  • 00:14:05.338 --> 00:14:08.275
  • But of course, moses had the power
  • 00:14:08.275 --> 00:14:11.177
  • To open the waters of the red sea
  • 00:14:11.177 --> 00:14:13.980
  • And to bring terrible plagues upon the egyptians.
  • 00:14:13.980 --> 00:14:17.584
  • In trying to get the people of israel
  • 00:14:17.584 --> 00:14:19.586
  • Out of their bondage in egypt, elijah is another prophet
  • 00:14:19.586 --> 00:14:23.123
  • Who in fact had the power to call down fire from heaven.
  • 00:14:23.123 --> 00:14:26.660
  • Or if he chose to, to shut the heavens
  • 00:14:26.660 --> 00:14:28.929
  • So there was no rain.
  • 00:14:28.929 --> 00:14:30.730
  • But we're not told who these mysterious prophets are,
  • 00:14:30.730 --> 00:14:34.034
  • But certainly they are prophets of the most high god,
  • 00:14:34.034 --> 00:14:37.304
  • With a special calling to come in the future and speak
  • 00:14:37.304 --> 00:14:42.842
  • To the inhabitants of the earth and prophesy against them.
  • 00:14:42.842 --> 00:14:46.479
  • And if they choose to, to call down the plagues of god
  • 00:14:46.479 --> 00:14:50.150
  • On the inhabitants of the earth.
  • 00:14:50.150 --> 00:14:52.752
  • And if anyone wants to harm them, fire
  • 00:14:53.520 --> 00:14:55.322
  • Proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies.
  • 00:14:55.322 --> 00:14:59.092
  • And if anyone wants to kill them,
  • 00:14:59.092 --> 00:15:01.661
  • He must be killed in this manner.
  • 00:15:01.661 --> 00:15:03.897
  • These are power to shut heaven
  • 00:15:03.897 --> 00:15:05.432
  • So that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy.
  • 00:15:05.432 --> 00:15:08.835
  • They have power over waters to turn them to blood.
  • 00:15:08.835 --> 00:15:12.906
  • That's the power that moses had.
  • 00:15:12.906 --> 00:15:15.075
  • He turned the waters of egypt to blood and to strike the earth
  • 00:15:15.075 --> 00:15:18.778
  • With all plagues as often as they desire.
  • 00:15:18.778 --> 00:15:22.048
  • So god has invested in these two prophetic witnesses
  • 00:15:22.048 --> 00:15:25.352
  • All the power of heaven.
  • 00:15:25.352 --> 00:15:26.987
  • It's available at their disposal,
  • 00:15:26.987 --> 00:15:29.122
  • And they can use it as they choose to
  • 00:15:29.122 --> 00:15:31.558
  • In their ministry during these three and a half years.
  • 00:15:31.558 --> 00:15:34.594
  • And then it says in verse seven,
  • 00:15:35.228 --> 00:15:37.263
  • When they finish their testimony,
  • 00:15:37.263 --> 00:15:39.099
  • The beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit
  • 00:15:39.099 --> 00:15:41.835
  • Will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.
  • 00:15:41.835 --> 00:15:47.173
  • Now listen to these words, and their their dead bodies
  • 00:15:47.173 --> 00:15:50.310
  • Will lie in the street of the great city,
  • 00:15:50.310 --> 00:15:52.579
  • Which spiritually is called sodom and egypt,
  • 00:15:52.579 --> 00:15:55.715
  • Where also our lord was crucified.
  • 00:15:55.715 --> 00:15:58.852
  • Whatever is meant by sodom and or egypt,
  • 00:15:58.852 --> 00:16:02.622
  • We know that this is the city that's behind
  • 00:16:02.622 --> 00:16:05.058
  • Me, where our lord was crucified.
  • 00:16:05.058 --> 00:16:08.161
  • Jerusalem is identified by that statement alone.
  • 00:16:08.161 --> 00:16:12.098
  • And of course, he was crucified
  • 00:16:12.098 --> 00:16:13.700
  • Outside the walls of the holy city.
  • 00:16:13.700 --> 00:16:16.636
  • So we're being told, with the identification of the city,
  • 00:16:16.636 --> 00:16:20.273
  • That this is exactly where these two prophets
  • 00:16:20.273 --> 00:16:23.109
  • Are going to prophesy.
  • 00:16:23.109 --> 00:16:24.511
  • Jerusalem is going to be
  • 00:16:24.511 --> 00:16:25.578
  • At the very epicenter of their ministry on earth.
  • 00:16:25.578 --> 00:16:30.250
  • But then this beast arises out of the bottomless pit,
  • 00:16:30.250 --> 00:16:33.286
  • The antichrist figure that we've seen before.
  • 00:16:33.286 --> 00:16:37.490
  • And it says their bodies are going to lie in the street
  • 00:16:37.490 --> 00:16:40.126
  • When he kills them.
  • 00:16:40.126 --> 00:16:41.594
  • And then in verse nine, then those from the people's
  • 00:16:41.594 --> 00:16:44.864
  • Tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies.
  • 00:16:44.864 --> 00:16:48.635
  • Three and a half days.
  • 00:16:48.635 --> 00:16:50.537
  • How would they see them?
  • 00:16:50.537 --> 00:16:51.971
  • Well, with satellite communication
  • 00:16:51.971 --> 00:16:53.907
  • Today, we can see events in real time.
  • 00:16:53.907 --> 00:16:57.343
  • Taking place anywhere in the world.
  • 00:16:57.343 --> 00:17:00.146
  • So presumably with cameras in jerusalem
  • 00:17:00.146 --> 00:17:02.715
  • And these two bodies of these holy prophets
  • 00:17:02.715 --> 00:17:05.718
  • Lying in the streets of jerusalem,
  • 00:17:05.718 --> 00:17:07.954
  • The whole world will see them through images on their phones
  • 00:17:07.954 --> 00:17:12.325
  • And images on television, but they will see them.
  • 00:17:12.325 --> 00:17:15.929
  • And for three and a half days.
  • 00:17:15.929 --> 00:17:17.630
  • And then there's a desecration, because no one
  • 00:17:17.630 --> 00:17:20.467
  • Is allowed to put their bodies into a grave.
  • 00:17:20.467 --> 00:17:23.603
  • So the bodies lie there, desecrated
  • 00:17:23.603 --> 00:17:26.940
  • In the sight of almighty god and the citizens of jerusalem.
  • 00:17:26.940 --> 00:17:31.277
  • We read that
  • 00:17:31.611 --> 00:17:32.879
  • The nations will see their dead bodies three and a half days,
  • 00:17:32.879 --> 00:17:35.648
  • And not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.
  • 00:17:35.648 --> 00:17:39.552
  • Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them.
  • 00:17:39.552 --> 00:17:42.589
  • Make merry and send gifts to one another.
  • 00:17:42.589 --> 00:17:46.526
  • Because these two prophets
  • 00:17:46.526 --> 00:17:48.027
  • Tormented those who dwell on the earth,
  • 00:17:48.027 --> 00:17:51.331
  • The inhabitants of the earth
  • 00:17:51.331 --> 00:17:53.099
  • Will feel a sense of relief because the prophets are dead.
  • 00:17:53.099 --> 00:17:58.138
  • But these two prophets of the servants of the most high god.
  • 00:17:59.305 --> 00:18:02.475
  • It will, in fact, it says they will give gifts one to another
  • 00:18:02.475 --> 00:18:06.412
  • A counterfeit christmas, a satanic christmas,
  • 00:18:06.412 --> 00:18:10.183
  • Where gifts are exchanged in celebration of the deaths
  • 00:18:10.183 --> 00:18:15.121
  • Of god's two prophetic witnesses on the earth.
  • 00:18:15.121 --> 00:18:18.925
  • And that speaks to us
  • 00:18:18.925 --> 00:18:19.893
  • About how bad things have become on the earth
  • 00:18:19.893 --> 00:18:22.996
  • When they rejoice over the death of god's prophets.
  • 00:18:22.996 --> 00:18:26.166
  • But we're living in an age when christians are being
  • 00:18:26.166 --> 00:18:29.569
  • Brutalized and crucified, in fact, and beheaded and killed
  • 00:18:29.569 --> 00:18:34.374
  • All over the middle east and in other places.
  • 00:18:34.374 --> 00:18:37.777
  • And it seems that no one, no one, seriously no leader
  • 00:18:37.777 --> 00:18:42.015
  • Is taking the initiative to bring an end to these
  • 00:18:42.015 --> 00:18:45.585
  • Martyrdom and the slaughter of the christians that are god's
  • 00:18:45.585 --> 00:18:48.855
  • People, on the earth.
  • 00:18:48.855 --> 00:18:51.824
  • So it's kind of a foretaste
  • 00:18:51.824 --> 00:18:54.861
  • Of the prophetic times that lie ahead of us,
  • 00:18:54.861 --> 00:18:57.463
  • When even the prophets of god will not be safe, on the earth.
  • 00:18:57.463 --> 00:19:01.801
  • Then it says in verse 11, and because
  • 00:19:02.635 --> 00:19:04.837
  • They are the prophets of god, we could expect this to happen.
  • 00:19:04.837 --> 00:19:08.775
  • Now, after the three and a half days, the breath of life
  • 00:19:08.775 --> 00:19:11.811
  • From god entered them, and they stood on their feet,
  • 00:19:11.811 --> 00:19:15.148
  • And great fear fell on those who saw them.
  • 00:19:15.148 --> 00:19:18.418
  • And of course, were thinking of the resurrection of the dead.
  • 00:19:18.418 --> 00:19:21.421
  • And it was here that jesus was crucified.
  • 00:19:21.421 --> 00:19:23.823
  • But he said, it will only be for three days,
  • 00:19:23.823 --> 00:19:25.658
  • That i will be in the earth, and then i will rise again.
  • 00:19:25.658 --> 00:19:29.696
  • And with his, with his resurrection,
  • 00:19:29.696 --> 00:19:32.031
  • Everything changed for the disciples
  • 00:19:32.031 --> 00:19:34.467
  • And for the whole world.
  • 00:19:34.467 --> 00:19:36.536
  • And then we read in verse 12,
  • 00:19:36.536 --> 00:19:38.805
  • And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them,
  • 00:19:38.805 --> 00:19:41.541
  • Come up here.
  • 00:19:41.541 --> 00:19:42.909
  • And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies
  • 00:19:42.909 --> 00:19:46.346
  • Saw them.
  • 00:19:46.346 --> 00:19:47.647
  • It's interesting
  • 00:19:47.647 --> 00:19:48.748
  • Because over my right shoulder, the mount of olives,
  • 00:19:48.748 --> 00:19:51.651
  • And we read in acts one that jesus went there
  • 00:19:51.651 --> 00:19:55.121
  • With his disciples after his resurrection,
  • 00:19:55.121 --> 00:19:57.824
  • And from there on the mount of olives, he ascended into heaven,
  • 00:19:57.824 --> 00:20:02.095
  • And a cloud received him out of their sight as well.
  • 00:20:02.095 --> 00:20:07.200
  • And then it says in verse 13, in the same hour
  • 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.969
  • There was a great earthquake, and a 10th of the city fell
  • 00:20:09.969 --> 00:20:13.006
  • The earthquake.
  • 00:20:13.373 --> 00:20:14.440
  • 7000 people were killed, and the rest were afraid
  • 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:18.144
  • And gave glory to the god of heaven.
  • 00:20:18.144 --> 00:20:21.481
  • The second woe is past.
  • 00:20:21.981 --> 00:20:23.783
  • Behold, the third wall is coming quickly.
  • 00:20:23.783 --> 00:20:27.420
  • And we saw in chapter eight and verse 13
  • 00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:30.623
  • That three woes were pronounced.
  • 00:20:30.623 --> 00:20:33.493
  • Now we have the fulfillment of the second of those woes,
  • 00:20:33.493 --> 00:20:36.562
  • And the third one will come in the very next chapter.
  • 00:20:36.562 --> 00:20:39.966
  • In fact, our next episode in chapter 12.
  • 00:20:39.966 --> 00:20:44.137
  • And then we read, we continue reading,
  • 00:20:44.137 --> 00:20:46.439
  • Because now we've come to the seventh trumpet
  • 00:20:46.439 --> 00:20:48.975
  • And remember that the seventh trumpet opens.
  • 00:20:48.975 --> 00:20:51.944
  • What i would suggest as the second stage of the telescope.
  • 00:20:51.944 --> 00:20:56.149
  • And now the full judgments are about to begin.
  • 00:20:56.149 --> 00:21:00.853
  • We've had seven seals,
  • 00:21:00.853 --> 00:21:02.588
  • And with the opening of the seventh seal,
  • 00:21:02.588 --> 00:21:04.457
  • The first trumpet judgment.
  • 00:21:04.457 --> 00:21:06.192
  • Now, with the sounding of the seventh trumpet,
  • 00:21:06.192 --> 00:21:08.728
  • We've opened the third stage of the telescope.
  • 00:21:08.728 --> 00:21:11.297
  • And now come the bull judgments, the climax of the judgments
  • 00:21:11.297 --> 00:21:15.501
  • Of god on humankind.
  • 00:21:15.501 --> 00:21:18.504
  • And so we read.
  • 00:21:18.504 --> 00:21:19.672
  • Then the seventh angel sounded in the world loud noises
  • 00:21:19.672 --> 00:21:22.375
  • In heaven, saying, the kingdoms of this world
  • 00:21:22.375 --> 00:21:25.511
  • Have become the kingdoms of our lord and of his christ,
  • 00:21:25.511 --> 00:21:29.615
  • And he shall reign for ever and ever.
  • 00:21:29.615 --> 00:21:32.952
  • And the 24 elders who sat before god on their thrones
  • 00:21:32.952 --> 00:21:36.923
  • Fell on their faces and worship god, saying,
  • 00:21:36.923 --> 00:21:41.361
  • We give you thanks, o lord god almighty,
  • 00:21:42.195 --> 00:21:44.564
  • The one who is and who was and who is to come,
  • 00:21:44.564 --> 00:21:48.768
  • Because you have taken your great power and reign.
  • 00:21:48.768 --> 00:21:52.205
  • The elders now are declaring the kingdom of god
  • 00:21:52.205 --> 00:21:55.141
  • That is to come.
  • 00:21:55.141 --> 00:21:56.709
  • And then it says, and they continue,
  • 00:21:56.709 --> 00:21:58.978
  • The nations were angry, and your wrath has come,
  • 00:21:58.978 --> 00:22:02.482
  • And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
  • 00:22:02.482 --> 00:22:05.485
  • And that you should reward your servants, the prophets,
  • 00:22:05.485 --> 00:22:08.154
  • And saints.
  • 00:22:08.154 --> 00:22:09.122
  • Finally,
  • 00:22:09.122 --> 00:22:10.356
  • We come to the reward of those who suffered for their faith,
  • 00:22:10.356 --> 00:22:13.793
  • Both the prophets of god, the apostles.
  • 00:22:13.793 --> 00:22:16.095
  • And here we have mentioned the prophets and saints
  • 00:22:16.095 --> 00:22:18.765
  • And those who fear your name, small and great,
  • 00:22:18.765 --> 00:22:22.335
  • And to destroy those who destroy the earth.
  • 00:22:23.202 --> 00:22:27.073
  • Then the temple of god was opened in heaven,
  • 00:22:27.073 --> 00:22:29.409
  • And the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple.
  • 00:22:29.409 --> 00:22:32.578
  • There were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake,
  • 00:22:32.578 --> 00:22:36.115
  • And great hail.
  • 00:22:36.482 --> 00:22:38.217
  • So the seventh trumpet has been declared.
  • 00:22:39.051 --> 00:22:41.621
  • The kingdom has been declared.
  • 00:22:41.621 --> 00:22:43.790
  • But the judgments continue with the bold judgments
  • 00:22:43.790 --> 00:22:47.126
  • That have yet to fall upon the earth.
  • 00:22:47.126 --> 00:22:55.635
  • Stay tuned for more from doctor
  • 00:22:56.269 --> 00:22:57.770
  • John tweedy after this break.
  • 00:22:57.770 --> 00:23:02.742
  • The people
  • 00:23:03.042 --> 00:23:04.010
  • Of israel face significant challenges every day
  • 00:23:04.010 --> 00:23:06.946
  • Due to the ongoing threat of war and random terror attacks.
  • 00:23:06.946 --> 00:23:10.049
  • Resources are often redirected to the military
  • 00:23:10.049 --> 00:23:12.919
  • Instead of helping the most
  • 00:23:12.919 --> 00:23:14.153
  • Vulnerable children at risk and the elderly.
  • 00:23:14.153 --> 00:23:17.156
  • Many children
  • 00:23:17.156 --> 00:23:18.357
  • Go to bed hungry each night and 1 in 3 lives in poverty.
  • 00:23:18.357 --> 00:23:21.627

  • So they will know they are not completely isolated
  • 00:23:57.830 --> 00:24:00.233
  • And alone in these trying times.
  • 00:24:00.233 --> 00:24:13.880
  • In the distance a great panoramic view
  • 00:24:14.647 --> 00:24:16.916
  • Of holy jerusalem basking in the sun.
  • 00:24:16.916 --> 00:24:21.120
  • The city that is really at the epicenter
  • 00:24:21.120 --> 00:24:23.623
  • Of all prophetic events going forward.
  • 00:24:23.623 --> 00:24:27.393
  • You know i was a little boy growing up.
  • 00:24:27.393 --> 00:24:28.661
  • We used to sing a hymn in church.
  • 00:24:28.661 --> 00:24:30.730
  • There is a green hill far away,
  • 00:24:30.730 --> 00:24:33.799
  • Beyond the city wall where our dear lord
  • 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:35.801
  • Was crucified, who died to save us all.
  • 00:24:35.801 --> 00:24:39.939
  • Chapter 11 captures those words
  • 00:24:40.573 --> 00:24:42.975
  • Where our lord was crucified.
  • 00:24:42.975 --> 00:24:46.045
  • So we know jerusalem is holy.
  • 00:24:46.045 --> 00:24:47.713
  • For that reason, because jesus died there.
  • 00:24:47.713 --> 00:24:50.283
  • But of course rose again.
  • 00:24:50.283 --> 00:24:52.552
  • But i want to share something else with you.
  • 00:24:52.552 --> 00:24:54.387
  • You can see the golden dome in the distance.
  • 00:24:54.387 --> 00:24:56.522
  • And of course, that's a mosque of islam today.
  • 00:24:56.522 --> 00:24:59.191
  • But it stands in the approximate site of the first and second
  • 00:24:59.191 --> 00:25:02.628
  • Temples, the first temple of king solomon,
  • 00:25:02.628 --> 00:25:05.264
  • And of course, the later temple of king herod
  • 00:25:05.264 --> 00:25:08.167
  • That existed in the time of jesus, in fact.
  • 00:25:08.167 --> 00:25:10.870
  • But i want to go to a verse
  • 00:25:10.870 --> 00:25:12.939
  • When the first temple was finished, and it's found in
  • 00:25:12.939 --> 00:25:16.375
  • First kings and chapter nine, and listen to these words
  • 00:25:16.375 --> 00:25:21.447
  • At the completion of the temple and the dedication.
  • 00:25:21.447 --> 00:25:24.383
  • And it came to pass, when solomon had finished
  • 00:25:24.383 --> 00:25:26.452
  • Building the house of the lord and the king's house,
  • 00:25:26.452 --> 00:25:29.121
  • And all solomon's desire which he wanted to do.
  • 00:25:29.121 --> 00:25:32.191
  • But the lord appeared to solomon
  • 00:25:32.191 --> 00:25:34.594
  • The second time, as he had appeared to him at gideon.
  • 00:25:34.594 --> 00:25:38.097
  • And the lord said to him, i have heard your prayer
  • 00:25:38.097 --> 00:25:41.534
  • In your supplication that you have made before me.
  • 00:25:41.534 --> 00:25:45.104
  • I have consecrated this house which you have built
  • 00:25:45.104 --> 00:25:48.307
  • To put my name there forever.
  • 00:25:48.307 --> 00:25:50.476
  • This is what i want you to see.
  • 00:25:50.476 --> 00:25:51.911
  • To put my name there forever.
  • 00:25:51.911 --> 00:25:55.247
  • And my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.
  • 00:25:55.247 --> 00:26:00.286
  • So as i stand today with holy jerusalem
  • 00:26:00.286 --> 00:26:04.390
  • Behind me, i can tell you assuredly,
  • 00:26:04.390 --> 00:26:07.693
  • Because the first kings, chapter nine, that god's heart
  • 00:26:07.693 --> 00:26:11.297
  • And god's eyes
  • 00:26:11.297 --> 00:26:12.632
  • Are over, that temple mount site that you see in the distance.
  • 00:26:12.632 --> 00:26:16.302
  • We know that from what the scriptures say.
  • 00:26:16.302 --> 00:26:18.404
  • But according to revelation chapter 11,
  • 00:26:18.404 --> 00:26:21.674
  • An event has yet to take place.
  • 00:26:21.674 --> 00:26:23.876
  • When god sends two prophets who will come to this holy city,
  • 00:26:23.876 --> 00:26:28.347
  • And they will prophesy for him, and they will issue a
  • 00:26:28.347 --> 00:26:31.851
  • Final warning.
  • 00:26:31.851 --> 00:26:32.785
  • It's interesting to me
  • 00:26:32.785 --> 00:26:34.153
  • That if they're going to come and do this,
  • 00:26:34.153 --> 00:26:36.155
  • They come again to the holy city of jerusalem.
  • 00:26:36.155 --> 00:26:39.892
  • The final warning for the inhabitants of the earth
  • 00:26:39.892 --> 00:26:42.595
  • From the throne of god almighty.
  • 00:26:42.595 --> 00:26:45.064
  • And as this story unfolds in chapter 11,
  • 00:26:45.064 --> 00:26:47.867
  • We see that they're put to death.
  • 00:26:47.867 --> 00:26:49.802
  • But we see that they also are raised up again.
  • 00:26:49.802 --> 00:26:52.605
  • Death is not the final thing for us who believe
  • 00:26:52.605 --> 00:26:55.608
  • In the power of lower than god, and who believe in god himself.
  • 00:26:55.608 --> 00:26:59.578
  • Death is simply a doorway into a new reality,
  • 00:26:59.578 --> 00:27:02.915
  • And for us, that reality is the kingdom of heaven.
  • 00:27:02.915 --> 00:27:05.718
  • So whoever those two prophets are, they come
  • 00:27:05.718 --> 00:27:09.855
  • And they go, but they come and go from the presence
  • 00:27:09.855 --> 00:27:13.259
  • Of the living god.
  • 00:27:13.259 --> 00:27:14.360
  • And that is our hope as well, that after we die,
  • 00:27:14.360 --> 00:27:18.431
  • We shall be with the lord of the ages.
  • 00:27:19.265 --> 00:27:19.265
