Last Three Days An Half - 7th Trump - 7th Vial
 
4th Vial is poured out = God's two witnesses are here on earth! (Revelation 11 and16)
 
Revelation 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
  • 4th vial = We see the effect of the two witnesses as they and the 7,000 stand up for God.
  • The two witnesses are here on earth, gathering the elect, teaching (Revelation 11)
My Two witnesses
 
Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
  • My two witnesses, They shall prophesy what? The word of God
  • The forty and two months is the same as three and one half years
  • One thousand, two hundred and sixty days
  • Satan's prophesy in months
  • God's prophesy in days
  • The solar calendar has about ten more days in a year, most people believe the two witnesses will come about 5-7 days before Satan tribulation.
  • Genesis 7:4 God's told Noah seven days before, God cause it to rain upon the earth.
What did God tell Satan? Touch Not My elect - Touch Not My two witnesses
 
Revelation 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
  • Zechariah 4:10 ''Who cares to think small''
  • Jeremiah 5:14 you would see that it speaks about prophets speaking a word and God making their word fire.
  • The people they are speaking to will be wood and the fire shall devour them.
  • God is a consuming fire. Heb 26:29
  • The two witnesses will speak as God speaks through them; His sword is the word of God and is a two-edged sword.
  • There shall nothing prevail here as far as the truth going out is concerned.
  • Luke 4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land.
  • Christ spoke concerning Elijah and the widow woman he visited with during the 31/2 years drought.
  • The widow could be likened to Israel of today.
  • Her husband, Christ, was crucified.
  • However, He is alive and the marriage feast will take place.
  • In Christ's story there was only one widow saved out of all Israel.
  • Notice how they in the synagogue reacted to the story.
  • The Kenites today have the same reaction to the truth
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
  • We will liken the waters, in a spiritual sense, to Satan's attempt to obliterate the truth, Which is symbolically fire.
  • The two witnesses have the power to shut off waters so that the truth can go forth
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
  • The Two witnesses finish their testimony
  • Satan shall make war against them
  • Satan shall overcome them and kill them
  • Verse 5 - if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
  • The Greek word for ''street'' here is ''plaeia'' (4113), meaning a wide place or square.
  • They will be killed in this square with plenty of room along the sides for people to observe.
  • Do you think we are talking of Sodom and Gomorrah?
  • This is Jerusalem where Christ was crucified.
  • The two witnesses will be killed in the same place, Because they will not accept the false christ
  • They will say, this false one is not our Christ
  • But the Kenites will use the same old story that Christ did not rise from the dead, But was stolen from the tomb.
  • Then we can readily see that the Kenites will tell the two witnesses that they can take His place.
  • At that time they will kill the witnesses
  • The Kenites will make sure that the bodies of the two witnesses will not be stolen away.
  • I think that there will be TV cameras and everything else that will sound an alarm if anyone even gets close to these bodies.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
  • The people and kindreds and tongues and nations, Shall see their dead bodies
  • Three days and an half days, And shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
  • Revelation 9 where the locusts tormented those that had not the seal of God in their forehead?
  • These two witnesses will torment the world in a different way.
  • The world will not be able to completely and utterly satisfy itself that this false one they are worshipping is the true Messiah as long as these two speak with such great wisdom against him.
11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
  • In the Greek this word ''fear'' is ''phobos'' (5401)
  • It will be a paralyzing fear beyond anything that can be described by man
  • When these two bodies gloriously, with the Shekinah glory covering them, rise up from the dust to meet Jesus.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
  • This is the only rapture there is ever going to be as far as we're concerned in the last days; The two witnesses.
  • The so-called rapture that the church is waiting for will not come to pass
  • We all know what Paul said about this in  2 Thessalonians  2, Jesus Christ would not return until after the false christ appears
  • The word rapture is not even mentioned in the word of God
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
  • We know ''the remnant'' is that 7000 that God told Elijah, He had reserved to Himself who shall not bow the knee to baal.
  • It's strange that the false christ's side has the equivalent number of our 7000 brought out here?
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
 
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
  • The seventh angel that sounds the seventh trump in this verse, continues to sound through Revelation 20:15
  • We have covered a great deal of time in this 11th chapter, even the end.
  • Christ has already returned and His kingdom,  has come in forever and ever
  • Because there is still one more woe to come, He is assuring us here that He shall reign supreme.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
  • God gathers His Elect, His saints, that stood up for Him, reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great;
  • Cup of Wrath pour out on those that followed and worshipped Satan
  • 7th trump - 3rd woe Christ has return and the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come
  • The Greek word for ''destroyer'' used here is ''diaph'', meaning ''to corrupt''.
  • Dead = spiritual dead (Ezekiel 37)
  • People that are spiritual dead to God's word will be judged
  • The saints are with the Lord
  • Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
