Hello John and fellow watchers,

 

I was inspired to write this based on Marilyn Agee's compelling memo on the Two Witnesses.  I read it and thought, "She nailed it!"  The second after that I felt "The Spirit" give me a nudge that made me rethink that statement.

 

The word "Witness," means someone who is present and sees something.  As such, the word Witness with reference to the "Two Witnesses," means two individuals who witnessed,...but what?

Although Marilyn presented a fabulous piece that was very compelling. I think we need to look at the title given to the two individuals that will be chosen for this task,- WITNESSES.  As such I would think, especially since Jesus' life took place in only the New Testament, that there would be at least one witness from that Book.  So would there not likely be a Witness for each book, someone who witnessed God's glory and wonder from each time, people (Jewish, Gentile) and perspective?  The Two witnesses would bind all His word and all His people and give credence to His Son, Jesus, the long awaited "Messiah"

 

1. One witness would be representative of the Old covenant, the Jewish one true God, and the miracles and glory for his people.  This one would be from the Old Testament that witnessed the happenings of those times.  Moses or Elijah would both be very good.

2. One would represent the addition of the gentiles into the fold,-the New Covenant. and would testify that Jesus was the Son of God, the Messiah. I have no knowledge on who this one would be,

 

The word WITNESS I believe "The Spirit" was indicating means to witness the whole Bible, Old Covenant and New Covenant-Gods word in Entirety.

 

I thank Marilyn for her inspirational piece and hope I have not fallen off the "turnip truck."

 

Sincerely

H. Schutta
