Today I sit stupidly in front of my E-mail trying to remember who I am and what I am supposed to be doing.

When I was studying piano I heard the story of Ignace Paderewski, the famous Polish pianist and prime minister. When he began his practice session each day he would just work the pedals of his grand piano for fifteen minutes before doing anything else.

As a young man I marveled at the diligence of the master. To think of sitting for fifteen minutes and just working the pedals. This would bore all but the most dedicated of musicians.

Now that I am old I think I understand what Paderewski was doing. He may have been trying to remember who he was and what he was supposed to be doing.

I am in the mood to regale you with something that came to me as I was driving to church one Sunday morning years ago. Honest! I was so astounded I preached on something else for fear the message was not from the Lord. But time seems to prove it out.

Before God starts a new, eternal day He sends two witnesses. There are seven eternal days in all and seven sets of two witnesses.

Once a new day starts it goes on forever.

The two witnesses portray in themselves what will be true of the coming day. The new day proceeds from the witnesses, so to speak.

The two witnesses of Revelation, Chapter Eleven are the sixth set of two witnesses and herald the sixth eternal day of God's working.

The first set of two witnesses was Adam and Eve. The eternal day they heralded could be referred to as the Day of Form. You can term it whatever makes sense to you.

The point is, in Adam and Eve God revealed the form of what always will be true. People will always be people with arms and legs. They will not be triangular or have huge heads and spindly bodies like some kind of spider, as some have imagined. (That would be a rotten world, wouldn't it?)

A billion years from now people will still be people. Thank God for that!

Notice that the eternal day proceeded from the first two witnesses.

(Can you imagine all this coming to me while I'm driving? It's a wonder I didn't drive off into Lake Hodges!)

The second set of two witnesses was Abraham and Sarah. You could call this the Day of the Church.

To understand the Day of the Church you have to recognize that there will be two sets of saved people in the future—the Church and the saved nations. This fact is not commonly understood.

To be continued.
