There are many uses of LEGAL or COURTROOM language in Scripture. Revelation, being an APOCALYPTIC book and NOT a LITERAL book, utilizes the legal use of witnesses. TWO Witnesses refers not to 2 literal human beings, but to the COMPLETENESS or PERFECTION of Witnesses. It won't be Moses and Elijah standing there in the streets and then slain and taken, rather it will be the complete number of SAINTS who are still alive right then, witnessing of Jesus, and thus they are taken up to Heaven from there (not a pre-trib rapture). Tribulation is right now. We are in the ERA of tribulation. Time, Times, and Half a Time do not refer to a literal 7 year earth calendar; they stand for the PERFECTION/COMPLETENESS of the time of the Church on earth. Thus, no pre-trib rapture, not mid-trib rapture...just God taking the Saints all Home to the New Heaven and the New Earth right at the moment He also destroys Satan, his demons, and the lost, unsaved people by casting them in the Lake of Fire. That all happens simultaneously. That is how you view the End Times in light of reading Revelation as an Apocalypic book instead of a literal one. |

Hello weit74, While Revelation is apocalyptic, I do not see a good reason to use the text allegorically as preterists or amillenialists would do. The strength of Jewish prophecy is in giving great detail though in sometimes figurative language. Your response concerning the two witnesses gives no detail at all. Steve |
