so a question for you all do you believe these witnesses will be actual people? i've heard anythign from elijah and enoch to people of that time period or do you believe it's purely symbolic and the two witnesses refer to the old test and new test? or symbolic and it refers to judaism and christianity? |

Or two nations? I haven't read too much from it. I have an EO Study bible I glean from. I'll have to check their commentary on it.

i'm currently torn between it being enoch and elijiah or judaism and christianity. i lean towards it being hte religions right now because i can't see the world rejoicing over the death of two men. however i can see a majority of muslims(not all) and 99.9% of atheists being super happy if they believed judaism and christianity were dead. |

You are presupposing a future literal fulfillment of the vision of Revelation. Perhaps its not a prediction of future events? |

well unless the beast (the antichrist) hasn't come yet (which he hasn't) then it is a future prophecy. |

i think they are two people. saying 2 nations are prophesying for 3 years wearing sacks is pretty strange. |

Can the people that follow the false Christ be blamed ? If the AC comes as Christ, performing superhuman miracles and such, w/ a positive loving message (even if lies), will those duped by him be held accountable ? How could someone who has not grown up in the word or spent years learning it really be able to discern the AC from the true Christ based on what they know (or don't know) ?? Will they burn ? have a 2nd chance at salvation ? |

TheHawker - You are presupposing a future literal fulfillment of the vision of Revelation. Yes, something that I only recently learned is a minoraty view among protestants. |

what would sakuraba do - In rev it says you "burn for ever and ever..." . At first glance sounds self explanitory. Upon closer inspection you realize: . . 1. "forever" & "for [space] ever" arent the same, even in english. In greek, it means "for a time". Crazy, huh? ![]() ![]() ![]() WUT?
