Bible Note: 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 |
