THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

THE 7th ANGEL SOUNDED HIS TRUMPET AND THERE
WERE LOUD VOICES IN HEAVEN

2
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• To Understand Chapter 11 WE MUST
  REMEMBER
• WE ARE STILL IN THE TRUMPET
  VISIONS!
• Chapters 8 9 Trumpets 1-6
• I believe the Trumpets speak to the very end
  times
• I believe the 1st 5 Trumpets have already blown
  in our lifetime.
• I believe they make up 3 major world events that
  have already happened and were identified by
  name in Revelation.

3
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• I believe that the 7th Trumpet is clearly
  identified with the rapture by scripture
  itself!
• Rev. 107 But in the days when the seventh angel
  is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God
  will be accomplished
• 1 Corinthians 1551-52
• 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery We will not all
  sleep, but we will all be changed--
• 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the
  last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the
  dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be
  changed.

4
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• CHAPTER 10 1114 falls between the end of the
  6th Trumpet and the blowing of the 7th Trumpet in
  1115.
• We will START in Chapter 11 today but to
  understand it, we must review what we have
  learned in Chapter 10
• The Mighty Angel the same as in Daniel 10-12
• The Little Scroll the same as in Ezekiel 2-3
• One foot on the sea/land No more delay!
  Matthew 2414
• And the Gospel
  of the Kingdom shall be
  preached in all the earth and then the end will
  come.

5
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• IN CHAPTER 11
• THE SAME MIGHTY ANGEL OF CHAPTER 10 IS
  REVEALING EVENTS TO JOHN
• Chapter 11 is
• Intriguing
• Controversial
• Complex (but not for YOU!) ?
• LETS READ CHAPTER
  111-10

6
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• THE MAIN STORY LINE OF CHAPTER
  11
• The Holy City (Jerusalem) will be trampled by
  Gentiles for 3 1/2 years. This corresponds
  exactly with Daniel 725-27, Daniel 811-12,
  Daniel 926-27 The Anti Christ will rule from
  here.
• Dan 926-27
• 26 The people of the ruler who will come - will
  destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will
  come like a flood War will continue until the
  end, and desolations have been decreed.
• 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one
  'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put
  an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing
  of the temple he will set up an abomination
  that causes desolation, until the end that is
  decreed is poured out on him."

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• THE MAIN STORY LINE OF CHAPTER
  11
• TWO WITNESSES from the Lord will preach
  during this 3 ½ years and will infuriate the
  ANTI-CHRIST. (He is the beast that comes from
  the Abyss signifying the demonic nature of his
  existence and power and he will show his rage
  towards these two witnesses at the 3 ½ year
  mark of his rule!
• These two witnesses will be killed (silenced,
  stopped, put-down). This decree of killing
  them will come from the anti-Christ himself, out
  of Jerusalem. (Again both of the above exactly
  correspond to Daniel 725)
• THE MAIN QUESTION ASKED BY PEOPLE ABOUT THIS
  CHAPTER IS - WHO ARE THE TWO WITNESS?

8
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• ONE POPULAR INTERPRETATION SAYS the witnesses
  are
• Two literal men. They are usually identified
  with Moses and Elijah returning to earth during
  this time to fulfill this scripture because of
  the description of shutting up the sky and
  turning water to blood.
• However nowhere in chapter 11 are the two
  witnesses called men. V.6 in N.I.V. men
  not in the original Greek ANYWHERE in chapter 10.
  (they, them but not men)
• Not only is there no need to take these
  as literal men but the Chapter itself
  EMPHATICALLY TELLS US WHO THE TWO WITNESSES ARE -
  AGAINTHE EARLY CHRISTIANS WOULD HAVE KNOWN
  THIS!

9
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• LOOK CLOSELY AT CHAPTER 11 VERSE 4
• These (two witnesses) ARE the two olive trees
  and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord
  of the earth.
• 1. We will LET THE BIBLE INTREPRET THE BIBLE and
• 2. Take into consideration that much of
  Revelation was coded for the early Christians
  of the 1st century back to the Old Testament for
  the keys of interpretation! (Remember the
  Mighty Angel, The Little Scroll, Trampling the
  Holy City for 3 ½ years, etc.)
• SO WHO ARE THE TWO
  WITNESSES?

10
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• THE LAMPSTAND is interpreted in Revelation
  Chapter 120!
• and the seven lampstands are the seven
  churches.
• This is the ONLY place in the Bible where the
  7-fold lampstand (That was in the Temple for
  centuries!) is definedLike all of the Old
  Testament Temple appointments, the lampstand
  pointed to a future fulfillment through Jesus
  Christ!
• THE LAMPSTAND is the CHURCH! It cannot be any
  plainer!
• The early Christians would have understood that
  THEY were the beginning of the CHURCH! THEY
  were the fulfillment of the 7 fold lampstand in
  the TEMPLE!

11
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• The Olive Tree Throughout the Old Testament the
  olive tree is used to signifyISRAEL!
• (Jeremiah 1116) The Lord has called you
  (Israel) a thriving olive tree
• BUT MORE IMPORTANTLYTHE EARLY CHRISTIANS WOULD
  HAVE KNOWN from this key or clue that there
  was only ONE place in ALL THE BIBLEwhere the
  olive tree and the lampstand were mentioned
  TOGETHERand, as WITNESSES!
• TURN TO ZECHARIAH
  CHAPTER 4
• NOWTURN TO ZECHARIAH CHAPTER 4

12
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• Revelation Chapter 11 and Zechariah Chapter 4
  observations.
• 1. Two witnesses in both who stand before the
  Lord of the earth
• 2. In Revelation these two witnesses are called
  the two olive trees and the two lampstands.
  How can TWO witnesses be FOUR? They are NOT.
  This is a literary way of saying the TWO are
  really one and the same! ISRAEL (the Nation and
  the Remnant) and the CHURCH! ( EPHESIANS
  34-next page)
• 3. Zechariah also contains a clear prophecy of
  Jesus - ( by My Spirit, the Capstone, God Bless
  it!)
• 4. Zechariah also contains a clear prophecy of
  the CHURCH born because of Jesus and through
  His Spirit!

13
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

• NOW CONSIDER THIS!
• Eph 34-6
• 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to
  understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
• 5 which was not made known to men in other
  generations as it has now been revealed by the
  Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets.
• This mystery is that through the gospel the
  Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members
  together of one body, and sharers together in the
  promise in Christ Jesus.
