I confess ~ I've long been
"bipolar" [don't mean to offend anyone using that term] in trying to understand
& figure out WHICH PART of the tribulation the 2 witnesses will be here.
hahhha! ~ seriously!! I have these little "debates" that constantly go on
in my head!!!
~ as I can see good reason for them being here for EITHER the first half OR
the 2nd half of the trib.
But here's what puzzles me & why I would constantly go back to thinking
it'd make more sense for them to be here the 2nd part: once they are
resurrected, then a HUGE quake hits Israel ~ making 1/10th of the entire city
fall!! ~ and 7,000 will be killed.
Okay, so couple THAT with ~ if this happened at mid-trib, then the
AntiChrist will be standing in the temple declaring himself to be God......
wouldn't that quake & all that chaos & mess take away from
his limelight?? But then, a sister in the Lord reminds me
that conditions don't have to be perfect for him to do this.....
AND..... wouldn't it make it SUPER DUPER HARD for the Israelis to FLEE when
they're supposed to at mid-trib -- if they have to rake over all the earthquake
mess just to "get outta' Dodge"?? But, but, but just maybe.... most of them
will flee before the 2 witnesses are resurrected..... just right after
the witnesses are killed & the AntiChrist commits the abomination of
desolation, going into the temple & declaring himself to be God. And if
they flee before the 2 witnesses are resurrected, that would mean they'd be out
of there before the quake, too.
Boy, I see reasons for both ways!! ~ whether the 2 witnesses are here first
half or 2nd...... And with them shooting fire out of their mouths &
everything & turning water into blood & sending plaques on the earth as
often as they want, I thought -- boy, that sounds more like GREAT trib stuff!!
But then:
This makes sense,
too!!
GOING BONKERS!!! hahahh -- trying
to figure this out!! And I know everyone "has the answers" & can certainly
offer his/her opinion, but I'm one of those tough "bulldog Bereans" who likes to
dig into the Word to find things out for myself!! ;)
{Okay, well, we already know
nothing's different there...... about the going bonkers part anyway!!
LOL}
But anyway, here's a SURPRISE for
you Doves!! and sure, I've thought of this before [...in
my quest to pin down which part of the trib the 2 witnesses will be here, but
for once, this may actually have meaning!!]
Let's just say ~ supposing the 2
witnesses are here for the FIRST part of the trib.......and the rapture is
literally staring us in the face.
Then, by mid-trib, it'll be
getting close to Christmas, AND to Hannukkah [Dec. 21,
2011] and the Muslim gift-giving holiday [always forget name?? that also
comes in Dec.]
When people the world over would
normally be "making merry" AND GIVING GIFTS anyway!!! Sure, normally the gifts
would be in celebration of Hannukkah or Christmas,
~ except
during the year, 2011 ~ it may just be to celebrate the DEATH of the 2
witnesses!! ***IF*** they come during the first half of the
trib!!
Rev. 11:10 And those who dwell on the earth will
rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two
prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
WHAT does this
mean?
Wow, we're
going to be walking on gold streets before ya' know it!!!!!!!!!! This very
month looks to be a GREAT possibility!!!! In fact, I'm countin' on
it!!!!! It is TIME to gooooooooooo!!!!!!
Figure it out!!! It HAS to be this month!! ~ or
early July at the LATEST if this other is to transpire in Dec. of
2011~~!!!!
Okay ~ this is gross, but this
idea just also popped into my head!! EIKS!!...... if those 2 bodies (dead
witnesses) are going to be LAYING THERE in the streets for 3 1/2 days like
that........ OOOOOF!!!! ~ it'd be better if it WAS winter .... cuz if it was in
summer...... oh my..... the stench!!!!!! No one would want to go anywhere near
them!!
So now, heh, if you'll allow me to
change my mind [once again!!... wink, wink!!] I now propose that the 2
witnesses may come the FIRST part of the trib. And the gift-giving in
Dec. of 2011 will be a sick joy of the world
to celebrate their deaths!!
But the good news for us
is......... we're gonna' be with Jesus sooooooooo very soon
now!!!!
Excited anyone??
;)
P.S. I also full well realize they
are to pray their flight [out of Judea] does not come in "winter" ~ this is b/c
it will be difficult enough as it is for them to flee from the AntiChrist. So
therefore, some of us used to think -- since they were told to pray for this,
that it would not/could not happen this way. However, consider also that Jesus
prayed that if it be the Father's will that "this cup be taken from Him". It
was not though.
And at any rate, I think we are
staring the rapture right in the face!! For most of us ~ HEARTSICK from the
world, and HOMESICK sojourners, it's hard to think of much of anything else
these days!! But that is how it should be, I think -- as we are commended to
keep our thoughts on heaven, and not on this world.
See you soon!
