Revelation 10:10,11

And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. (Revelation 10:10,11)

"You must prophesy again."

Remember that when the Book of Revelation was written it was not marked off in chapters. Revelation Eleven actually is a continuation of Chapter Ten.

The "again" prophecy is the prophecy of the two witnesses.

The first prophecy is described in the Book of Acts. If you will notice, the Book of Acts does not come to a conclusion.

The Book of Acts is continuing in our day. The Lord's apostles and prophets will go forth to the ends of the earth proclaiming the soon coming of the Kingdom of God.

The prophecy that is to be given in our time is to be "before many people, and nations, and tongues, and kings." Jesus referred to the end-time witness when He announced that the Gospel of the Kingdom would be preached to every nation for a witness.

During the original Jewish feast of Pentecost, two loaves of bread baked with yeast were presented before the Lord. The two loaves represent the portion and the double portion of the Pentecostal outpouringùone at the beginning of the Christian Era and one at the close.

The same portrayal of the portion and the double portion is found in Elijah, and then Elisha.

We truly are in for a terrific expression of both Divine glory and Divine judgment.

We have mentioned previously that directly over the veil, that is, over the symbolic transition from the Church Age to the Kingdom Age, there were placed two sets of fifty rings holding the linen ceiling and the goat hair tent together. One set of fifty rings was of gold and speaks of the outpouring of Divine glory that will take place in the last days. The other set of fifty rings was of bronze and portrays the outpouring of Divine judgment that will take place in the last days.

The number fifty symbolizes Pentecost. The number two represents the double portion of power, and also the witness. In the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be established.

We are entering days of massive Divine glory and massive Divine judgment.

When we prophesy within the assembling we speak to men to edification (building up), exhortation, and comfort. The purpose of such prophesying is to build the Body of Christ, the great Lampstand of God.

When the Body of Christ has been built, then the whole body serves as the light of the world. Every member then speaks with the voice of prophecy for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. This type of prophecy is not to build up the members of the Body to maturity but to bear witness of Christ to the nations, to all peoples and tongues and to their kings as well.

We of today have come to the "again" prophecy. There shall be one last great outpouring of God's Spirit in glory and judgment and then the end of the Church Age will be here. The authority and power of spiritual darkness will increase until the Christian testimony of the remnant of believers has been driven into the wilderness areas of the earth where it will be protected until the Lord returns.

Tremendous revival and then tremendous darkness. We all need to prepare ourselves (and our loved ones as well as we can) for the momentous days that are upon us.
