The Daily Word of Righteousness
What Satan Fears Most, #4
And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? (Zechariah 4:12)
The two olive trees emptying into the lampstand of Zechariah signify that the Lord Jesus Christ possesses the Spirit of God without measure. The High Priest did not have to fill the oil cups each twenty-four hours, because the lampstand was receiving the oil directly from the olive trees..
The two olive trees of the eleventh chapter of the Book of Revelation mean that the warlike remnant of saints, who will bear witness along with the Lord Jesus of the Kingdom of God, will have a double portion of the Spirit of God (the Elisha anointing) so they can perform the works of power needed to open the doors and arrest the attention of the nations of the earth.
The two witnesses will be clothed in sackcloth. The fancy show of ecclesiastical leaders with their expensive suits and luxurious automobiles will be no more. The witness of the last days will be given by ordinary people who have been shown for many years that glory belongs to God alone.
There will be no more giving glory to people instead of to God, as happens so often in our day. The second witness, the true and faithful saint, will truly and faithfully always point toward the Lord Jesus instead of to himself or herself. The ministers of today often say they are giving glory to the Lord Jesus, but the circumstances of their ministry indicate otherwise.
The witnesses of the last days will be so close to the Lord Jesus, so filled with His Presence, they will portray His glory naturally and often unconsciously—because they truly will be seeking His glory.
The mouse will understand he is a mouse and that it is the Elephant who is hauling the log.
The Lord Jesus and the Father Are Our Example
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. (John 8:17,18)
An examination of the relationship of the Lord Jesus to the Father in Personality and in work will help us understand what the Lord expects of His witnessing saints during the testimony to be given in the closing days of the Church Age.
The Lord Jesus never attempted to do the work of God by Himself. He never was alone.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. (John 8:16)
"I am not alone."
How wonderful to be "not alone" but to have the Presence of the Lord Jesus with us!
We notice that the Lord sometimes emphasized it was the Father who spoke through Him and who performed the works of power.
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. (John 14:10)
To be continued.
