"TO:  ARLENE -- More Clear Explanation of the 144,000 & the Two Witnesses"


Arlene,
 
In reply to your post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2012/arlene416.htm the following two paragraphs that were in the article you posted from http://www.danielrevelationbiblestudies.com/The_Rest_of_The_Story.htm do not agree with what is written in the book of Revelation.  The article you wanted us to read stated the following:
 
"Since the topic was addressed near the beginning of this study, two summary points will be made. First, the great city is the great whore, Lucifer’s theocracy, which will set up during the sixth trumpet. (Revelation 17:18) Lucifer’s theocracy is also called “the image to the beast” a modified replica of Babylon’s original church-state.
(Revelation 13:15) The great city is not a geographical location on Earth. Instead, the great city is a governing system that encompasses the whole world. In other words, the bodies of the Two Witnesses (actually, the bodies of the 144,000 through whom the Two Witnesses speak) are not going to be viewed at a particular street address in a given city. Geographically speaking, the dead bodies of the 144,000 will be found all over the world."
 
Revelation 11:8 states,"And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." That verse specifically says that their bodies (Two Witnesses) shall lie in the street of a great city; yet the article you wanted us to read says they are not going to be viewed at a particular street address in a given city.   Our Lord Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem.
