I know many people hold on to various prophetic views and that'sfine.......but from what I understand from studying
prophecy.........the two witnesses will show up at the very
beginning of the trib........finish their ministry........and it is
at the end of their ministry that the antichrist will come on the
scene to destroy them and begin his 42 months of reign.......the
reason I came to this conclusion is because if the antichrist shows
up before the two witnesses..........then he will deceive and delude
the entire
world who had received no prior warning of his coming.....straight
into the lake of fire.....and so God
being just cannot blame them for receiving the mark of the beast
since majority of humanity have never heard of such a
thing.....YES!.......even some christians have not even heard of it
before...........therefore it will make no sense for the two
witnesses to appear any other time than the very beginning since the
main message of their ministry is to tell people of the mark of the
beast and how they should by all means avoid it.......God has always
warned people out loud before sending out judgment.......For God to
allow the antichrist to come out and deceive the world and to
receive his mark before the two witnesses show up on the world
scene .......is the same as pouring out judgment on Ninevah before
sending out Jonah to warn them..........what good will they be
after the world have already received the mark of the
beast???......think about this!
