Who are the Two Witnesses of God

The Dduality of Prophecy

July 7, 2003

Christians can't believe Jesus, when He said that we are as the people were before the flood Mat.24:37, totally deceived Rev.12:9. This is why they can't see that God and the Truth is hidden from us. This is why they don't know why we need God's Two Witnesses Rev.11:3.

To understand who are the Two Witnesses of God, and their function we must know that there is a duality in prophecy. There is the Creator God who is Jesus now Christ Eph.3:9, and there is an Anti-god. God's way is based on "good and evil" Gen.2:9, the Anti-god's way is a "one way" of only evil. There is a First Adam and a Second Adam. There is God's "Salvation," and there is the Anti-god's "salvation." There was Elijah in the Old Testament, who "restored" God's truth. John the Baptist was like Elijah in the New Testament Mat.17:11. This is the "pattern" God follows through out the Bible ITim.1:16.

We have the Two Witnesses of God in the Old Testament, the two spirits represented by the two candle sticks in the Temple of God. We have the Two Witnesses in Revelation. This is God's way of teaching, elevating, glorifying us from His "lower" religions and their kingdoms to His "higher" ones Rom.13:1. We must grow in grace and knowledge IIPet.3:18, as I have shown from the Old Testament to Paul's gospel Rom.2:16 the mystery Eph.3:3. There is a personal fulfillment of prophecy and a governmental fulfillment of it.

The truth, our SALVATION is "hidden" from us Mat. 13:35, as a "mystery," a secret until the "seventh angel sound" in Revelation 10:7 at the End of the World Mat.24:3. This is how we are as the people were in Noah's day, without salvation Mat.24:37.

Why is God hiding Himself and the Truth? He does, that we all could learn "good" through "evil." Even Jesus the "captain of our salvation became perfect through sufferings" Heb.2:10. Jesus " a Son learned obedience by the things which He suffered" Heb.5:8. Now, Christ in you is "being made perfect " V. 9. This is how Jesus "became the author of eternal SALVATION unto ALL them that obey Him" V.9.

God sent the First Witness to show us the Truth. The function of God's Two Witnesses are to "restore" the Old, and the New Testament's truth and of God's Mystery, or Salvation to us Mat.17:11. If this is not so, neither Mat.24:37, Rev.12:9 or Rev.10:7 and a host of other scriptures are not true, and Christ is not our Savor.

Christians can't see this, because they are worshipping as Christ the Anti-god, because God is "hiding" from them, as He did from Adam and Cain Gen.4:14. Christians are still "alienated" from God Eph.4:18, and are waiting for their "reconciliation" to Him IICor.5:18. This is why they obey the Anti-god's "iniquity" or lawlessness or "codes" Mat.7:23.

Christians, un-able to look at the duality that just as God planed Israel to "fall from Him," He also planed the "falling away" of the Christians. Duality as a pattern is fulfilled again.

The "whole world is deceived" Rev.12:9 telling us that the truth is "hidden." We need the Two Witnesses, to "restore" the truth to us.

God by "hiding" and His truth and not giving us His holy spirit, keeps us in darkness of our "deception." This is why we can't come to Him, unless He calls us first Jn.6:44. This was the reason that when Jesus was ready to die for His New Religion, "all the disciples forsook Him" Mat.26:56, including His Apostles.

When God revoked the holy spirit from the church after the fall of Israel and the Temple in 70 AD, and substituted for it the Seven Spirits of His churches, the world became as the people before the Flood, to fulfill Mat.24:37.

Who are the Two Witnesses

God's revelations are progressive. There is our "calling," God's "timing" and "obedience" involved. Peter said that "no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation" 2Pet. 1:20, when it affects the whole church. Jesus tells us that the "truth" the mystery will be given to ONE MAN, like Noah was Mat.24:37.

This tells us that the Two Witnesses are more than two Prophets.

God has shown that He has three religions in the Bible, the Old and New Testaments and the Mystery. This tells us that God's Witnesses "restore" God's three religions. The First Witness "restores" Mat.17:11 God's "mystery" Eph.1:9-10, or Paul's gospel Rom.2:16. He has finished his "testimony" Rev.11:7 and left. A second Prophet must come, to help "flee God's Elect Mat.24:22 into to the "wilderness" Rev.12:6.

This leaves the Second Witness and its two Prophets. One Prophet will lead the "144,000 Israelites" Rev. 7:4, twelve thousand from each tribe. The other Prophet is sent to the restored members of Christianity or the "Great Multitude of all nations" Rev.7:9.

This makes the Two Witnesses to have four Prophets all together. This follows the "pattern" of God. The First Witness is like Elijah was, who had no followers. Elisha, who came after him had twice as much power, and few followers, as John the Baptist in the New Testament. The followers of the Old and the New Testaments are now like Moses and Jesus' followers were. They had only ONE Prophet. This follows the "pattern" of God. We have two Prophets for the mystery, ONE Prophet at a time.

The first Prophet of the four, is like Noah, whom nobody could believe, like Elijah was not believed because His message, the "mystery" was "foolishness" to the Christians, not having the holy spirit ICor.2:14. The second Prophet will have a few followers, like Elisha had, the Elects of God. These will be in the resurrection without dying ICor.15: 52; IThes.4:17. These are like the followers of Noah, and escape through the tribulation and the plagues of God, the "seventh seal."

The Second Witness and its two Prophets must come soon, to build the New Temple of God, because they "measure," judge its people Rev.11:1, physically and spiritually. The third Prophet sent to Israel will build God's physical Temple on the Mount of Olives that the Beast could "pollute it" Dan.11:31. The fourth Prophet sent to the Gentiles will build the spiritual temple of God who are the Christians ICor.3:16.

These four Prophets all will bring a New Religion, a "new covenant" like God gave to Noah Gen.6:18. These religions are a "restored" old religion of God, and are hidden until now, as a mystery Rev.10:7.

This tells us that when these Prophets arrive, we are very close to the "End of the World" Mat.24:3, and to Christ's second coming. As the coming of John the Baptist indicated the arrival of the Messiah, now the coming of God's Two Witnesses is the SIGN to us of Satan's coming and of the Anti-Christ, who will be the Beast. The trouble was at the time of John the Baptist that the official religion of the Jews, did not find in Jesus the Christ. This is what is happening now at Christ's second coming. Neither the Jews, nor the Christians will find or recognize the four Prophets of God again.

Why is this?
It is because it is our Creator who blinded their minds, and put them into a "deep sleep" Isa.29:10 of "deception" Rev.12:9. This means that the deception of the "many" is not their fault, but God's. This is why in God's true salvation it is God who is asking for forgiveness, and "reconciliation" from us. This is the exact opposite to the salvation of the Anti-god. The pattern of God again is working beautifully. This helps us to identify these Prophets.

When will the Three Prophets of God Arrive?

The first Prophet of God arrived, and "restored" God's mystery. He has finished his "testimony" Rev.11:7. Most people don't know this, just as nobody could tell that Noah was God's Prophet, while he lived.

We, who live after the "flood," know about Noah, because of the holy scriptures. Without the Bible, we also would have forgotten Noah, because it is the Anti-god's function to "deceive" us Jn.8:44, and to make us forget God and His servants.

The people in the "ages to come" will know about the first Prophet and the other Prophets of God, as we know about the Prophets of God before the flood. Today only the "Elects" of God Mat.24:22, and the "First Fruits" of God Rev.14:4 will know God's Prophets. God's third and fourth Prophet will be known, but not fully recognized as such. The world, Jews, Christians and Gentiles will hate God's Prophets, because as prophecy unfolds they will "torment" the population of the world, as Moses did Rev.11:10.

The "pattern" follows John the Baptist, who was born sixth month before Jesus. This gives us an idea, that if the first Prophet came and finished his testimony, in May of 2003, the Second Prophet could come sixth month later. This would be in November 2003. It is also likely that the third and the fourth Prophets will arrive around this time too. You might know that the so called Palestinians are the descendants of the Philistines. There are references in the Bible that they also have to have a nation, before Christ's second coming, as Israel does now.

It is interesting that no matter how Israel and the Arabs hate each other now, the word of God will be fulfilled. If you "watch" the news, as we are commanded Mat.24:42 you see that we are coming close to the culmination of this conflict in the Middle East. I would not be surprised to see the arrival of God's Prophets at the same time, bringing PEACE, to make it possible to start building the New Temple of God in 2004.

Will God use PEACE brought by His Prophets, to the Middle East? This would "magnify" these Prophets, giving them the credibility to allow them to accomplish their "work" Acts.13:41.

The Christians tell us that we can't know when Christ will come Mat.24:36. They are right concerning the "many," mentioned in Mat.7:13. It is "hidden" from them. Christ promised to the "wise of God" Dan.12:10, who are the "few" Mat.7:14, the Elects of God, to know it. Jesus said to them or us: "there is NOTING COVERED, that shall not be revealed; and HID, that shall not be known" Mat.10:26. Jesus warned us saying: "watch" and "know WHEN Ö the thief (Satan) would or has come" Mat.24:42,43. Satan was "cast out of heaven" Rev.12:9, when the first Prophet finished his "testimony" Rev.11:7. We know that this took place in May of 2003, with the Iraq war.

This is very important to know, because it marks for us the arrival of the "tribulation" Mat.24:21, and the beginning of the "sixth seal" of Revelation 6:12. When these Prophets arrive, we have three and a half years, to the Beast's coming Rev.11:3, and the greatest martyrdom of the saints. As I said in my last newsletter that the "remnants" of God's people, who will not "flee" with the "Very Elect" Mat.24:24 or the first Prophet of God, to the Place of Safety Rev.12:6 will be killed. Also most of the "144,000 Israelites," and the great number of the "Great Multitude" Rev.7:4, 9 from the Gentiles will be killed. These are DEAD and are at God's throne V.14, 15. These "overcame him (the Beast) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and loved not their lives unto death" Rev.12:11.

Now you see why Jesus compared our conditions with the time of Noah. Any who will not follow these Prophets will perish, as during the flood.

How to Recognize These Prophets

It is very difficult to find, or recognize God's Prophets. Only a "few" people will. Jesus prepared us to find them, by inspiring Paul to say that "all things happened unto the people (of the Old and New Testament), and "written (in the Bible) for our admonition, upon whom the Ends of the World are come" ICor.10:11. Jesus said: "by the fruits (works) you shall know them" Mat.7:19.

These Prophets all will be in, yet outside of the system. They will bring an old and "restored" religion. They will advocate the obedience to "law." They will be warning people and giving a solution, not just the problems. The solutions will be difficult and un-popular. They will not aim to please. They will be difficult to find, and not going to be successful the world's way. They, like God's Prophets will bring bad news, not good. They will be disliked by the rest of their piers.

You should not look for the First Prophet of the First Witness, because he is gone, because his "work," or "testimony" was finished. God has "taken him" as He did Elijah.

The second Prophet of the First Witness, will aim to help us to be in the resurrection without dying. He will follow the "doctrines" of Apostle Paul, the "mystery." He will warn the world, and call God's Elect to "come out" of this world, religiously, legally and financially. He will ask people to become one of God's Elect. He will ask you to obey the "Laws of the Spirit" Rom.8:2, and to enter God's "Kingdom of Heaven."

You will recognize him, as having "little strength" as the new Philadelphia Church of God will Rev.3:8. He will ask you to help to proselytize others to warn and call them. You will find him dogmatic, and urgent in his call, like all the other Prophets of God. You will notice that "very few" people will follow him, because it will be most difficult to believe him, among God's Prophets.

Like Apostle Paul, it will be difficult to follow his teachings 2Pet.3:16, because your mind will try to "filter" out his teachings, since they are totally the opposite of what you have learned and accepted as truth. Unless you are willing to FAST, STUDY not just read his work and PRAY and meditate on what he is saying, it will be difficult to accept his teaching.

People brought up on the "fables" ITim.4:7 in the churches, will find him legalistic, academic and without feelings, because they do not know that God's religions are ALL founded on L-A-W. You will be asked to give a sacrifice, like righteous Abel to approach God.

The third and the fourth Prophets of God will be easier to recognize. They will have much more power in the world, and therefore many more followers. They will be easier to believe, because their teachings will be much more familiar The third Prophet sent to Israel will be a priest, having the credentials that the Jews could follow him. We are told He will have 144,000 core believers or disciples. These will affect a huge followers, who will evangelizing the world. These will help to build God's New physical Temple.

This Prophet will set up the sacrifices of the Old Testament, and its laws to obey. He will have great political and financial power in Israel. After three and a half years, this Prophet will be accused to be the "False Prophet" by the Beast, who came out of the "bottomless pit" to "deceive" the people that the Beast and his False Prophet are the true "witnesses of god." We see again the type and anti type scenario.

Those who are not written in the Book of Life, will believe this great "deception."

The fourth Prophet will be sent to Israel and the Gentile Christians. He will "restore" Jesus' elementary New Testament doctrines. He will show that Christians obey the "doctrines of the Pharisees" Mat.16:12 which prevent, "shut" Christians out from the "Kingdom of Heaven" or salvation Mat.23:13.

He will appear also in Jerusalem, to help eliminate the present impasse, between Christians and the Moslems to build the Temple. Jews, Christians and the Muslims will need to cooperate to build God's New Temple on the Mount of Olives. God will use the present conflict between Jews and Islam and later of the Christians to establish and magnify His Two Prophets.

Dr. Ernest L. Martin feels that the New Temple of God must be built where the Christian Pater Nostra Church is now. To demolish this grand and beautiful church will not be easy.

As you see the "work" what these Prophets will do, give us also a time frame, to recognize them. When you see the NEW TEMPLE BUILT, you know that we have very little time left to prepare to FLEE to our Place of Safety in the wilderness Rev.12:6.

You know from the book of Daniel, that Christ will have a seven (7) year ministry, before He brings His millennial kingdom Dan.9. This means that the Anti-god also has a seven (7) year ministry at the End of the World, or from the time Satan is "cast out" from heaven, or the Beast comes from the "bottomless pit."

This tells us, that God's Two Witnesses are also have a seven (7) year ministry. If you add together the time of the First Witness and the Second Witnesses they must come out to seven years. Not counting the First Witness' first Prophet, but the second Prophet, he will have a three and a half year ministry, (like the Second Witness' two Prophets Rev.11:3). The second Prophet then will FLEE to the "wilderness," or God's Place of Safety with the Elect. The second part of the second Prophet's ministry will be in the "wilderness" and it is also three and a half years Rev.12:6.

This gives us seven years (7) for God's second Prophet of his 1st witness.
Now if you add the three and a half years of God's third and fourth Prophets, that also come out to seven years. This narrows our time to find the Two Witnesses of God to 2003 and 2004 to find them.

Qualify to Find God's Two Witnesses

Jesus WARNED US, that to find the "straight and narrow way" leading to eternal life is given to a "FEW" Mat.7:14, only to the "wise" of God Dan.12:10. The "MANY" will be and are "deceived" Mat.24:37,Rev.12:9. To approach and find God, and now His Two Witnesses, you are "required" like righteous Abel, and as John the Baptist asked, to bring a "sacrifice" Gen.4:3,4; Lk.3:8.

What is the "sacrifice" God requires you now, at the End of the World? It is a sacrifice which will help you, to save your life. Apostle John heard God's angel saying "Come Out of her, My People, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her PLAGUES." Rev.18:4. If you read my newsletters, you know I been harping on this to "come out" of this world religiously, legally and financially. I know no other who is telling this at this time, and HOW to do it. I am telling you, that we are very, VERY close to the appearing of God's Two Witnesses. I mentioned that ONE Prophet has already finished his "testimony," and that Satan has been "cast out" from heaven Rev.12:9.

The time is CRITICAL to act and if you don't URGENTLY do it, it might be too late to save your LIFE, and the LIVES of others, for which you are "called" to be an "Elect of God."

You must PROVE what I say is true, not your way, but God's way recorded for us in Jn.7:17. God is reaching out to you, will you "accept" His invitation? I pray that you make the choice and let me know of it, that you may be baptised, to have the power to "come out" of this world. To help you, look up my website:
