You said: I think your anology of Pentecost for Christians would be
a foreshadowing of the Holy  Spirit indwelling the 144,000, rather
than the two witnesses.

Reply: I never mentioned any such thing as pentecost for Christians.

Christians already pentecosted at the time they received Christ into

their lives. However, they will be left behind if their lamps are

not filled with oil when Christ comes 4 His bride. As 4 the 144,000,

I don't think the seal they are sealed with is the holy Spirit

because if you read

Ezekiel, you will notice that the seal goes on their foreheads and

the Holy doesn't stay on our 4heads.
 

You said: I think this could happen in the last 3 1/2 years.
 

Reply: That's exactly the point I'm trying to make.....if they show

up in the last 3 1/2 years as you say, then they would be good for

nothing because the people of the earth would already have received

the mark of the beast.......they cannot preach repentance to a

people with the mark of the beast on their body parts....IT WILL BE

USELESS.
