The Daily Word of Righteousness

God Always Sends Two Witnesses, continued

(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) (I John 1:2)

The two witnesses of the fourth day, the day of light, or revelation, are the Father and Jesus.

Sometimes we don't think about how much light Jesus actually brought into the world. If Christ had not come do you see how ignorant of God we would be? The Law of Moses was a tremendous light in its day but nothing like the grace and truth that came through Jesus Christ.

Four eternal days working: the day of form, the day of the Church, the day of the law, and now the day of light.

What is the fifth day and who were the fifth set of two witnesses?

The fifth day is the Day of Life and the two witnesses were the Apostles and the Holy Spirit. This gave me pause when it entered my mind but then a passage came to remembrance:

And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. (Acts 5:32)

There was no eternal life until the Holy Spirit was given from Heaven. In those days the Spirit was given by the laying on of the hands of the Apostles. This was the beginning of the day of life.

Can you see that the day of form issued from Adam and Eve and continues to this hour? Can you see that Adam and Eve revealed in themselves the coming eternal day?

Can you see that the day of the church issued from Abraham and Sarah and continues to this hour? Can you see that Abraham and Sarah revealed in themselves the coming eternal day?

Can you see that the day of the law issued from Moses and Aaron and continues to this hour? Can you see that Moses and Aaron revealed in themselves the coming eternal day?

Can you see that the day of life issued from the Apostles and the Holy Spirit and continues to this hour? Can you see that the Apostles and the Holy Spirit revealed in themselves the coming eternal day?

Cool!

Now we come to the sixth day and the sixth set of witnesses.

The sixth set of witnesses is Christ and His Body, the two golden lampstands ministering under a double portion of God's Spirit (the two olive trees).

The sixth day might be termed the Day of the Kingdom.

Following the previous five sets of witnesses, the sixth day, the Kingdom Age, should proceed from Christ and His Body. Following the previous witnesses, Christ and His Body should reveal in themselves what the world can expect to experience during the Kingdom Age.

You can see now the need for the plagues administered by the two witnesses of the eleventh chapter of the Book of Revelation. The Kingdom Age will be the rule of the rod of iron. All resistance to the rule of Christ and His saints will be smashed.

This will be an eternal day. The Kingdom will last forever, as testified by Daniel and Isaiah.

To be continued.
