NASB | Revelation 11:3 "And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 11:3 "And I will grant authority to My two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days (forty-two months; three and one-half years), dressed in sackcloth." [Deut 18:18; Mal 4:5; Mark 9:4] |
Subject: "Two witnesses." When? Who? |
Bible Note: How do you know that the tribulation is 7 years long? How do you know these days have not come yet? Didn't Jesus say that John the Baptist was Elijah returned? (Matthew 17:11-13; Luke 1:17) If Moses and Elijah are resurrected and then die again, how would their resurrection be a 'better one'? (Hebrews 11:23-28, 32, 35; Revelation 11:4-6) Would it be possible for the two witnesses to be four persons-Moses, Elijah, and the two anointed ones of Zechariah 4:13? Or, could we say that the two witnesses, as well as their death and resurrection, are symbolic? (Ezekiel 37:1-14; Revelation 1:1) Does the context of Revelation 12:6 and 13:5 warrant linking those two time periods? If the wild beast is destroyed at Armageddon, wouldn't the prophesying have to take place during the "last days"? (Revelation 16:13-16; 19:19-21) Rock on, Tommy. |
