Scripture

Revelation 11

3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will be clothed in burlap and will prophesy during those 1,260 days.”

4 These two prophets are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of all the earth. 5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire flashes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. This is how anyone who tries to harm them must die. 6 They have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall for as long as they prophesy. And they have the power to turn the rivers and oceans into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.

7 When they complete their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the bottomless pit will declare war against them, and he will conquer them and kill them. 8 And their bodies will lie in the main street of Jerusalem, the city that is figuratively called “Sodom” and “Egypt,” the city where their Lord was crucified. 9 And for three and a half days, all peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will stare at their bodies. No one will be allowed to bury them. 10 All the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give presents to each other to celebrate the death of the two prophets who had tormented them.

11 But after three and a half days, God breathed life into them, and they stood up! Terror struck all who were staring at them. 12 Then a loud voice from heaven called to the two prophets, “Come up here!” And they rose to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched.

Observation

I don’t know if you have read the “Left Behind” series, but if you haven’t you don’t know what you are missing. I remember the part when the two witnesses are killed and it was so real. We are so close to this happening that it is a little scary.

Nothing could harm these two prophets until the 1,260 days were up and then it was time for them to die. They stayed dead 3 ½ days and then the Lord said to them, “Come up here!” One day he is going to say to me and hopefully you, “Come up here!”

I need to live like it is going to be today and so do you!

Application

I will live today like it will be my last.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, slow me down today. Help me to enjoy everything and everyone. Help me to learn some new things at the Dave Ramsey seminar that will help my family and our church. Show me what the important things are for today and help me to focus on them. In Jesus Name Amen.
