TERROR STRUCK THOSE WHO SAW THEM / REVELATION 11:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 11:11

And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

TERROR STRUCK THOSE WHO SAW THEM / REVELATION 11:11

Though the bodies of the two witnesses have lain dead in the streets for over three days, probably somewhat disfigured by now, God breathes His creative life into them, and they are restored to complete vitality. This will be a sign that the reign of the antichrist and the persistence of evil will be short-lived. Because of the miraculous resurrection of the two witnesses (Revelation 11:11-12) and God’s judgment (Revelation 11:13), fear will grip people, and they will realize that there is no match for God’s power. His enemies will even witness the voice from heaven and the ascension of the two men (Revelation 11:12). The events that immediately follow will further demonstrate God’s miraculous power and authority overall. None of this, however, will cause people as a whole to turn to God (Revelation 9:20), though some who witness these events will receive the message of the two witnesses and give honor to God (Revelation 11:13).

For those who view the witnesses as symbolizing the church and its influence in end-time society (Revelation 11:3), this event is sometimes viewed as the point when the rapture of the church takes place (when Christ’s followers are caught up from the earth to meet Him in the air and go to heaven with Him). Again, this view would mean that the church is not taken from the world until part way through the tribulation period (a mid-tribulation rapture). Such a view differs from the primary position of this study Bible, which sees the church (all faithful followers of Christ) being suddenly taken from the world prior to the beginning of the seven-year tribulation period (a pre-tribulation rapture; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH WILL GLOAT / REVELATION 11:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 11:9

And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH WILL GLOAT / REVELATION 11:9

Some suppose that through television or some form of media that all people of the world will see the dead bodies of the two men lying in the city streets. Though this will certainly be possible, it does not actually say that everyone will see them, but simply that people “of” (from, out of) all people groups and nationalities will see, perhaps those from the city who are in the immediate area and able to observe what has taken place firsthand. Still, the news of the death of the two witnesses will certainly flash around the world, causing widespread celebration – like a worldwide Christmas party (even with the giving of gifts) – without Christ. God’s message from the witnesses must have cut to people’s hearts and stirred up great guilt in their consciences for them to feel such relief, even joy, over their deaths. But when it appears that the antichrist has prevailed, people will feel free to carry on with their wicked ways without fear of judgment.

THE BEAST … KILL THEM / REVELATION 11:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 11:7

And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

THE BEAST … KILL THEM / REVELATION 11:7

The two witnesses are killed because they brought the prophetic truth of Christ (Revelation 19:10) to an ungodly antichrist audience, speaking out boldly against the sins of the people. Jerusalem is called “Sodom” because of its immoral conduct and “Egypt” because of its worldliness (Revelation 11:8). The beast is the antichrist (Revelation 13:1; 14:9, 11; 15:2; 16:2; 17:13, 13: 19:20; 20:10), or the “man of lawlessness” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-10). Note that the two witnesses were not killed until they finished their work. This is true of all of God’s servants who remain faithful to Him. (Interpreters who view the witnesses as representing the church’s presence in the end-time world [Revelation 11:3] see this act as a description of the antichrist abolishing the church’s freedom and severely persecuting and killing Christians.)

OLIVE TREES … LAMPSTANDS / REVELATION 11:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV Revelation 11:4)

These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

OLIVE TREES … LAMPSTANDS / REVELATION 11:4

“The two olive trees” here represent the oil of anointing (commissioning, empowering) of the Holy Spirit flowing through God’s servants (Zechariah 4:3, regarding a similar description of the Sprit’s anointing upon Zerubbabel, the governor, and Joshua, the high priest). In Revelation, the “lampstands” symbolize the churches of Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:12-13, 20; Zechariah 4:2). By using this language, John says that the two witnesses will be greatly empowered by the Holy Spirit in order to fulfill God’s mission and reveal the light of God’s truth through both words and miraculous signs (Zechariah 4:2-14). In other words, they will proclaim a full and clear message from God so that no one will have an excuse to deny the truth.

MY TWO WITNESSES / REVELATION 11:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 11:3

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

MY TWO WITNESSES / REVELATION 11:3

The Greek tense changes here to the future so as to indicate what will happen during the “42 months” just mentioned. Though the interpretation of this chapter is among the most difficult in Revelation, it appears that God will send two witnesses to preach the message of Christ and prophesy about the future. They will possess great supernatural power (Revelation 11:5-6) and perform their ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit. They will be a great threat to the antichrist and the entire wicked world for a period of 1,260 days, counteracting the deceptive signs and wonders performed by the prophets of the antichrist (Revelation 13:13-14). The two witnesses have the power of both Moses and Elijah (Malachi 4:5).

Note that some interpreters do not necessarily regard these witnesses as two literal individuals. Instead, they see them as representative of God’s law (given through Moses) and the prophets (Elijah), who challenged people in regard to their relationship with God and who spoke of things that would be fulfilled through Jesus Christ. Those who hold this view often regard these witnesses as representing the church (particularly bold, testifying believers) in the last days. The church’s presence would bring spiritual conviction (exposing sin and convincing people of their guilt in relation to God), and its ministry would directly challenge the antichrist’s evil purposes. This view would mean that the church is still in the world (Christ has not yet taken His followers to heaven through the rapture) for at least part way into the seven-year period of the antichrist’s rise to power (Revelation 11:11).

TRAMPLE ON THE HOLY CITY / REVELATION 11:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DIALY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 11:2

But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

TRAMPLE ON THE HOLY CITY / REVELATION 11:2

During the tribulation, Israel and the “holy city” will be oppressed by the Gentiles (people of all nations who are not Israelite or Jewish) and suffer greatly for 42 months (Luke 21:24). This will, in part, be judgement for Israel’s rejection of Christ throughout the history of the church and for following immoral practices like those of Sodom (Revelation 11:8, 13). The “42 months’ probably refer to the final three and one-half years of the tribulation (Dainiel 7:25; 9:27; 12:7).

MEASURE THE TEMPLE / REVELATION 11:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 11:1

And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

MEASURE THE TEMPLE / REVELATION 11:1

Revelation 11 continues an interlude (which began in Revelation 10) prior to the sounding of the seventh trumpet and the final series of revealed judgments. This passage discusses Israel and the temple and gives an evaluation of her spiritual life. The events recorded here occur in the city where the “Lord was crucified,” that is, Jerusalem (Revelation 11:8). Israel is basically still in unbelief regarding Christ during this part of the tribulation. The “temple of God” could not refer to Herod’s Temple, which had been destroyed by the armies of Titus in A.D. 70, twenty-five years before Revelation was written. This may imply the existence of a new temple in Jerusalem in the end times, possibly built after the antichrist makes a covenant with the Jews (Daniel 9:27), but which will later be defiled by the antichrist (Revelation 13:14-15; Daniel 9:27; 12:11; 2 Thessalonians 2:4). The measuring of the temple signifies God’s measuring of the spiritual condition of the Jewish people (Ezekiel 40; Zechariah 2). Measuring in the Bible is often a symbol of preparation for either destruction or preservation, (Numbers 35:5; Psalms 60:6; Isaiah 65:8). In this case, God is certainly looking to preserve Israel.

THEY REALIZED THEY WERE NAKED / GENESIS 3:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 3:7

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

THEY REALIZED THEY WERE NAKED / GENESIS 3:7

When Adam and Eve lived in moral innocence, before their rebellion, nakedness was not wrong or shameful (Genesis 2:25). However, after they sinned, the awareness of nakedness became related to sin and the corrupt condition of humanity. That is, this new awareness would lead to ungodly desires (the temptation to use God-given desires in ways that contradict His perfect plans for men and women). Because of the evil and immorality that nakedness and temptation would cause in the world, God decided that it should be covered. So, He made garments and clothed Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:21). Now He commands all people to dress modestly (1 Timothy 2:9).

LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER / GENESIS 2:24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 2:24

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER / GENESIS 2:24

God originally ordained marriage and the family unit as the first and most important institution on earth (Genesis 1:28). God’s plan for marriage consists of one male and one female who become “one flesh,” united physically and spiritually. This instruction rules out adultery, polygamy (having more than on spouse), homosexuality, immoral living and unbiblical divorce (Mark 10:7-9; Matthew 19:9).

TRUTH / JOHN 4:24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 4:24

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

TRUTH / JOHN 4:24

Because Jesus Christ is the truth (John 1:14; 5:31; 14:6; Luke 4:25; 9:27; 12:44), to live in unity with Christ requires speaking the truth (1 Corinthians 5:8; Ephesians 4:25) and living by the truth. People who claim to have a relationship with Christ (that is, to be spiritually saved), yet do not live and speak the truth as revealed in God’s Word, are deceived (1 John 1:6). In time, they will expose the real condition of their hearts (John 8:44; Acts 5:3). They are opposed to God and will have no place in the kingdom of heaven (Revelation 21:8, 27; 22:15). The Bible teaches that a liar is of “the synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 3:9).
