Download or read book The War Between the Two Beasts and the Two Witnesses written by Tony Siew and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-08-07 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siew seeks to examine the events that will unfold within the three and a half years before the dawn of the kingdom of God on earth. He argues that John composed the textual unit of Rev 11:1--14:5 as a coherent and unified literary unit structured in a macro-chiasm. He pays special attention to the fusion of form and content and seeks to elucidate how the concentric and chiastic pattern informs the meaning of the literary units within 11:1--14:5, and proposes that the text of 11:1--14:5 is best analyzed using Hebraic literary conventions, devices, and compositional techniques such as chiasm, parallelism, parataxis, and structural parallelism. The macro-chiastic pattern provides the literary-structural framework for John to portray that the events of the last three and a half years unfold on earth as a result of what transpires in heaven. Specifically, the war in heaven between Michael and the dragon has earthly ramifications. The outcome of the heavenly war where Satan is defeated and thrown out of heaven to earth results in the war on earth between the two beasts of Rev 13 and the two witnesses of Rev 11. The narrative of the war in heaven (12:7-12) is seen as the pivot of the macro-chiastic structure. Siew pays close attention to the time-period of the three-and-a-half years as a temporal and structural marker which functions to unite the various units in 11:1--14:5 into a coherent and integral whole. The events of the last days will be centred in Jerusalem.
Download or read book Revelation and the Two Witnesses written by Rob Dalrymple and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-06-10 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The account of the two witnesses in Revelation 11 has been the subject of much intrigue over the years. Popular theologians have attempted to identify them with two individuals--perhaps Moses and Elijah. In Revelation and the Two Witnesses, Rob Dalrymple offers a thorough exegesis of Revelation 11 and concludes that the account of the two witnesses is the primary account in Revelation that depicts the people of God. Who are they? What is their commission? What was John's message to seven churches and to us? Whoever they are, we know this: they have a commission, they will suffer for it, and, in the end, they are resurrected!
Download or read book Understanding End Times Prophecy written by Paul Benware and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.
Download or read book Revelation written by G. K. Beale and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-02 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: G. K. Beale’s monumental New International Greek Testament Commentary volume on Revelation has been highly praised since its publication in 1999. This shorter commentary distills the superb grammatical analysis and exegesis from that tome (over 1,300 pages) into a book more accessible and pertinent to preachers, students, and general Christian readers. As in the original commentary, Beale views Revelation as an integrated whole, as a conscious continuation of the Old Testament prophetic books, and shows that recognizing Revelation’s nearly constant use of Old Testament allusions is key to unlocking its meaning. Interspersed throughout the volume are more than sixty sets of “Suggestions for Reflection” to help readers better grasp the relevance of Revelation to their lives and our world today.

Book excerpt: The book that Hank Hanegraaff considers his masterwork. "Most of what you've heard, read or been told about the end times is wrong," says popular radio host and best-selling apologist, Hank Hanegraaff. "We have come to accept a wide range of beliefs and teachings about the future, about the ultimate battle between good and evil, about the last days, and about how our world will end. And most of these beliefs and teachings are based on fundamental misinterpretations of what the scriptures really say about the end times." The Apocalypse Code helps readers understand what the Bible really says about the end times and why what we believe matters so much in today's world.

Download or read book Revelation of the Two Witnesses written by Daniel F. Owsley and published by Booktango. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Revelation of the Two Witnesses a superb Bible based battle is described between the Antichrist, the False prophet, and Moses and Elijah. In the old west such meetings of over the top guts and brass were always invitations for participants to experience their very last breaths, along with a pretty keen welcome from the local undertaker; Audacity thrived! 2 But neither the Antichrist, Moses, or Elijah held the dread that they'd be sitting with any funeral director; For all of them walked in unnatural resurrected flesh that was supernaturally born from the essence of utter impossibilities. 3 And the only difference between our Lord's witnesses and Satan's son was that this evil one was in a cursed everlasting body, while the ones of Moses and Elijah were blessed after being glorified by the power of Christ's very best wishes.4 Only Velgor the false prophet stood alone in normal flesh; But even he didn't flinch at death since he only feared living in a helpless world he couldn't dominate. 5 It was a sure thing though, that somebody was sure to pass on that day, while entering into a place where they may, or may not have been before. 6 Nevertheless, four heavyweights were about to do some shadow dancing while multitudes of spirit beings readied themselves for Hell's gong to sound off. 7 But the main players of this new Boot Hill would only be the untrue right and left hands of Satan, along with the two age old servants of His Holiness, our Kingly King of all things seen or unseen, and our Lofty Lord of everything possible or impossible; For with Christ all things were probable! 8 And so it was, that two by two, both good and evil were then staring each other down from a distance; Two by two throats were cleared, spit swallowed, and allegiances silently reconfirmed; Then loyalties were all or nothing. 9 For it was apparent to all eyes on that location, or to those like myself, through the magic of television, that each of those four were undoubtedly zooming in upon the invisible forces that were hyped up near each side.10 Then the Eye's of Moses, along with Elijah, suddenly shined most brightly with fires of righteous anger, while they flickered with a much greater radiating light that even the brightest flame of Hell ever could have claimed. 11 On the other hand though, the hate filled eyes of Darius and Asanti obnoxiously sparkled like some lit brimstone that was hotter than molten lava. 12 And their corrupted sparks seemed like they were being fuelled by the energy forces of weak minded souls that were ravaged because they were evil. 13 However, their light was extremely dim though, especially when compared to the overflowing brightness that was coming from those approaching prophets. 14 But the inner darkness of that self absorbed trio, that stupidly stood against God's genius, were then ready to try invading those coming lights. 15 Then that was fated to become the most unusual showdown of all showdowns. 16 It would also be one that would be far greater than the one formerly seen at the OK Corral. And it would shortly be commencing live, uninterrupted, upon the highest definition television to ever broadcast such an epic scene. 17 Thusly, it was about to become very clear that the following dumfounding turn of events would swiftly evolve into an extraordinary spectacle that was sure to be an extreme supernatural extravaganza of some pretty paranormal power.

This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first volume of my book I have proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that The Two Witnesses in Revelation 11 are God The Father and The Holy Spirit. Which is a fact that none of the Ancient, or, Modern day commentators have ever known in 2,000 years! That they are primarily God the Son's Two Witnesses, who is the Glorious omnipotent Angel in Revelation chapter 10 who is prophesying to John about his immediate future in Revelation chapter 11, where he has assumed his second nature as Jesus (Rev. 11:8). Nor have they ever known that Jesus is the Main and Hidden Actor behind the scenes, and underlying dimension of chapter 11, in spite of the fact that his Two Witnesses who are actually 'in him' in chapter 11, as I shall also demonstrate, seem to be the main Actors on the surface as I shall also demonstrate. Or ever known that Jesus is alive in chapter 11. Now that the Angel has become Jesus, they must be referred to as Christ' Two Witnesses. None of the commentators have ever taken these facts into account, because they never suspected the Two Witnesses could be God, who they should have considered in the first place! And considered 2 Cor. 5:19 which says that, "God was 'in Christ' reconciling the world unto himself." That which immediately proves the Two Witnesses are the Father and Holy Spirit, is the fact that Christ, who is also God, is called the very same things in the Bible they are, a Witness, an Olive Tree, a Lampstand and a Prophet, making a total of Three "Witnesses" (Rev. 1:5; Rev. 11:3). Three "Olive Trees" (Rev. 11:4; Judg. 9:8-9). Three "Lampstands" (Rev. 11:4; Zech. 4:1). And Three "Prophets" (Rev. 11:10; John 4:19). The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, have always been Witnesses of each other throughout all Eternity. And now that God the Son, the omnipotent Angel has come down from the third heaven to earth in Rev. 10:1-2, and assumed the form of Jesus, the Father and Holy Spirit, have now become the Two Witnesses of the Lamb that was slain (Rev. 11:7-8; Rev. 5:6) in Time.

The Greek term denotes an unveiling or uncovering—thus, a revelation." "Here is the key to understanding the book. Jesus alone can unlock the meaning of its symbols, visions and descriptions...Christ reveals its meaning. He unlocks its seals. But how does He do it?" "Most of Revelation—about two thirds of its content—is devoted to the seventh seal. The contents of the first six seals are found in chapter 6 alone." "How will the two witnesses and their message be received?" "The book of Revelation reveals, from more than one perspective, the emergence of this vast end-time empire governed from a great city God labels “Babylon the great”, the reference here being to Rome." "Jesus Christ will return to establish that Kingdom on earth (the Kingdom of God) at His second coming, at last bringing the peace mankind has always longed for but never achieved."
