The “Great Alarm Bell”: Revelation 11

In Revelation 11, we see the beginning and end of the two witnesses. They are given a great assignment (to prophesy for 1,260 days) and great power to defend themselves during these days.

They are given the power to shut Heaven, so there is no rain. They are given the power to turn the waters to blood and to send plagues on the earth as often as they will.

So for about three and a half years, the witnesses are assigned to prophesy. And when they are finished, they will be killed by the enemy.

For three and a half days, their bodies will like in the street:

“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.” – Revelation 11:8

Sadly, their deaths will be widely celebrated. But after three and a half days:

^” 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. 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.” – Revelation 11:11-12

After which, a great Earthquake will take place and kill many. The remnant will become fearful and give glory to God.

The next event of Revelation 11 is that the kingdoms of this world become Kingdoms of our Lord. And, of course, the nations will be angry, for as the nations of this earth become Kingdoms of our Lord, it is clear that those that Believed in Christ will be rewarded and those who did not will be punished.

The last event in Revelation 11 is that the Temple of God is opened in Heaven. It is a joyful time 🙂

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!
