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).
