Witnesses of Revelation Chapter 11
Question: Who predicted that Moses, Elijah, or Enoch will come back to Earth?
Jesus did! He said in Matt. 11:14 that John would be as Elijah “if you are willing to receive it”!
Also in Malachi, 4:5 Elijah is mentioned again, which will be just prior to the Lords’ return!
There will be conditions on Earth in the yet future, when Satan’s forces and evil will abound to at least the level described above, and probably much more so; as the spread will be worldwide, with Israel as the focus and target of Satan wherever they are living, and Scripture is certain in its prediction!
That point is reached in Chapter 11 of Revelation, when “two Witnesses” with special powers of survival, attack, defence and miracle, will stand in Jerusalem to proclaim the Truth of God to all people, and all Satan’s forces, both Jew and Gentile!
Their witness will continue for 1260 days, (3½ years) the same period as Jacob’s Trouble, when they cannot be killed, but they will be when that time is finished and Jehovah Zebaoth’s purpose is completed!
However, 3½ days later, they are revived to life, and ascend into Heaven in the sight of their enemies, which causes great fear amongst the people who have been assailed by the two witnesses, and who are just in the middle of the celebrations of their deaths!
The prophetic account of this event, can be read in Rev Chapter 11; and also our notes in www.revelationsmessage.co.uk
It is speculated that these two Witnesses are Moses and Elijah, and that is one of the most common opinions. That is due mainly to the “Transfiguration” event of our Lord in Matt. 17, where He was with Moses and Elijah, just prior to His suffering and death at the hands of the Romans, and by Jewish Sanhedrin at the people’s behest!
As from the Bible, it is clear that one of the two witnesses is Elijah, there is much speculation as to whom the other person is.
As Enoch “did not see death”, many Christians are of the opinion that he is the second person.
However, as Satan contested for Moses’ body for “Sheol”; Jude 9; there is the thought that he could be the second witness.
