"Revelation 11:3--alternate symbolic meaning..."

 

Hello, John and Doves,

 

Since it appears we are in the sixth year of Daniel’s 70th week, it behooves us to look for the hidden meaning of Revelation 11:3, since 1,260 days have not been [nor can they be] fulfilled literally at this late date.  It has lately occurred to me that the two witnesses are justice and mercy, since they meet with a sweet, eternal embrace at the Cross.

 

Revelation chapter 11 verse 3—alternate symbolic meaning.

“And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for…[from the NAS]” the entire time [chilias = 10 X 10 X 10], from one end of the first dispensation to the other end of the second dispensation [diakosioi] and on through to eternity [three entire time periods = chilias], embracing six prophetic days [hexakonta], clothed in mourning and humility [sackcloth and ashes].”

Revelation 11:3  Hybrid translation—second part being mine.

 

The two witnesses are justice and mercy.

 

It is written,

            “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Micah 6:8  KJV

 

Before you get antsy about a too soon Rapture, please note that “six prophetic days” might only refer to the fact that the year is currently 5774 [the year before the seventh Shmita year of the current Jubilee cycle], being in the sixth period of 1,000 years since the Creation.  The next [and seventieth since the soles of the feet of Joshua and Caleb touched the soil of the Promised Land [through their sandals], while Moses was in his 80th year] Jubilee is due to be announced on Yom Kippur 5776, and must be announced by the High Priest from the Temple.

 

Whatever in the world “must be announced by the High Priest from the Temple” means, we are in for quite a ride.

 

Please note also that this alternate meaning easily stands alongside whatever else may happen during these end times [again, whatever that may prove to mean].

 

Here follows my search for “mercy justice” in that order on Bible Hub.com.
