1 | Will we go thru the tribulation | Rev 3:10 | retxar | 28315 | ||
The word "these" in Rev 11:4 is referring to the previous verse, which speaks of the two prophets God will raise up, not churches. This was 1st prophesied in Zec 4. This corresponds with the two men God raised up in Zechariah’s day: Joshua and Zerubbabel. retxar |

retxar,In Rev.11:4 it says that "the two olive trees AND the candlesticks. Meaning with the two olive trees. Every time in the new testament where it speaks of candlestick or candlesticks it's the same translation going back to the original greek. Yes, Zech.4:11 speaks of the same thing, the two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? meaning a candlestick on both sides. I'm not questioning the two olive trees that you saying are Joshua and Zerubbabel. But I would have to check that one out. What I'm showing is that candlestick, or candlesticks is churches in Rev.11:4. Serenetime | ||||||

Hi Serenetime, The lampstands (candlesticks KJV) are the 2 witnesses (2 individuals Rev_11:8). The olive trees suppling the never ending supply of olive oil to the lampstand (the light of the world) is symbolic of the Holy Spirit from whence their power to be witnesses will come (Act_1:8). Even if one were to believe the two witnesses were churches instead of individuals (can’t see it myself), Rev_11:4 would be before the rapture of the church as those with a pre-wrath/mid-trib view of scripture see it. In other words, the rapture of the church would occur at the same time or about the same time as the resurrection of the 2 witnesses (Rev_11:3 1260 days is 3.5 years minus 17 days). retxar |
