The Daily Word of Righteousness
Who Are the Two Witnesses?, #8
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. (Revelation 11:6)
The anointed saints will dry up the physical and spiritual atmosphere.
No doubt the above verse will have a literal, physical fulfillment; but let us consider a spiritual application.
Today there are all kinds of people, Christian and non-Christian alike, who are advancing various schemes for the solution of the problems of the world. Among the Christian churches there are various doctrines. Some announce the eternal security of the believer; others do not. Some practice speaking in tongues and believe the gifts of the Spirit are for today; others do not. Some Christians teach a pre-tribulation "rapture" while others do not.
Then there are numerous "Christian" churches that deny the inspiration of the Scriptures, the virgin birth of Christ, and the bodily resurrection of the dead. These "liberal" congregations often are permissive toward abortion and homosexual behavior while other churches view such practices as abominations.
Of those who are teaching and preaching the Scriptures there are many who cannot be trusted with money; others are morally unstable; still others of the ministers of the Gospel are seeking their own glory and building their own kingdoms.
The Christian churches of the present hour are in doctrinal chaos. In spite of this, souls are being saved, believers are being filled with the Holy Spirit, the sick are being healed, miracles are being performed.
Because of the lack of visible cause and effect relationship between sound doctrine and godly behavior on the one hand, and spiritual accomplishments on the other hand, the testimony of God's Character and will has been obscured. Today there is no clear relationship between true godliness and spiritual power.
There must come a "drying up" of the spiritual atmosphere if there is to be an effective witness of God's Character and will. Heaven must be shut up when a true witness of God is not being given. The "waters" of the flesh must be "turned to blood," meaning the corruption that is present must be revealed for all to see.
The famine of the Presence and Word of God has begun already. The anointed saints soon will demonstrate the authority to bind and to loose. The people who say they are "Jews" (the ungodly "Christians") but who actually are the congregation of Satan will be made to come and worship God at the feet of the true anointed elect. The ungodly ministers will be required to acknowledge that God loves His elect and that men cannot do as they please in the Kingdom of God.
To be continued.
