Conclusion

The world is waiting to see two witnesses, the Elephant and the mouse. It is the Elephant who is important and who can do the job. The world wants to see Jesus, but Jesus will appear (with some exceptions) only in His saints. This is the way He prefers to appear. But the mice are so busy in their confidence that they can move logs the Elephant is nowhere to be seen.

God is preparing people today who will become part of the two witnesses of Revelation, Chapter Eleven. They experience many prisons, many denials, many deferred hopes. They hunger. They thirst. They painfully carry their cross in the secret place of the stairs. They are coming to know God.

Such are clothed in sackcloth. They will never take God's glory to themselves. They do not practice immoral behavior. They are not interested in acquiring money.

As Elijah, they will call for droughts (perhaps spiritual droughts). As Elisha, they will act without fear of man, although the power of the testimony will be lifted when the true witness has been completed just as Elisha was overcome by sickness. Yet, like the dead man who was thrown into the cave where Elisha was buried, they will stand on their feet at the last trumpet and be called up to the sky, thus bearing the greatest testimony ever seen on earth.

The world is waiting to see two witnesses. Two witnesses cannot appear until some of the believers are willing to lay down their own life that the Lord Jesus may live in them.

The greatest fear Satan has is that a once-blind Church, today making sport for the world, will seize the pillars of Satan's kingdom and by its own death bring wickedness to an end.

And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left. And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life. (Judges 16:29,30)

There were the two middle pillars. One typifies the blood of the Lamb. The other represents the Spirit-empowered testimony of the two witnesses. Samson loved not his life to the death.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:11)

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are ready to prepare the Church and the world for the coming to earth of the Kingdom of God. Are we willing to faithfully seek Their Presence until all that we are, all that we think, all that we say, all that we do, are a reflection of the Presence and will of God?
