Subject: When will 2 witnesses finish their work? |
Bible Note: When will 2 witnesses finish their work: the first half or the second half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week? NASB Revelation 11:7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them. '...When will the two witnesses finish their work: the first half or the second half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week? It is our belief that they prophecy and torment the wicked during the second half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week. Our reasons are thus: The unique length of the two witnesses’ ministry is proof that Revelation 10-11 coincides with the end of Daniel’s Seventieth Week...God states in Revelation 11:3 that He would "grant authority to my two witnesses and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days…." Twelve hundred and sixty days is equal to forty-two months, three and a half years or time, times, and half a time. 'These particular time references are explicitly identified only in the books of Daniel and Revelation. In every case, the same prophetic period is indicated—the second half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week (Dan. 9:27). (...) 'Revelation 11:3 is the seventh explicit reference to a three and a half year period in the books of Daniel and Revelation. The burden of proof that Revelation 11:3 does not refer to the second half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week lies with those who would argue differently. This question might have been left in the unsolvable category if it were not for the three woes. The strategic placement of the ministry of the two witnesses between woes one and two prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the ministry of the two witness must occur during the second half of Daniel’s Seventieth Week. John’s choice to place the details of the ministry of the witnesses in Revelation 11 is logical. The death of the two witnesses coincides with the end of the Seventieth Week and provides another reason for John to "prophesy against many peoples and nations and tongues and kings..."'
