God Always Sends Two Witnesses, continued

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. (I Corinthians 12:27)

As was true of Adam and Eve, one of the two witnesses (of Revelation Eleven) will be created from the other. Eve was created from Adam. The Body of Christ is being fashioned from Christ Jesus' own body and blood.

As was true of Abraham and Sarah, the witness will come by grace as the true wife waits on the promise of God. The testimony of the two witnesses of the end of the Church Age will not be the work of man's ambitions. "Hagar," the babylonish (man-centered, man-directed) churches, will have nothing to do with it, will not be an heir with it.

As was true of Moses and Aaron, the two witnesses (of Revelation, Chapter Eleven) will be brothers. We are being created the brothers of Christ Jesus.

As was true of the Father and the Son, Christ will be in His Body. There will be the two witnesses—Christ and His Body; but the two will be one as the Father and Christ are One.

As was true of the Holy Spirit and the Apostles, the two witnesses will be God and God-filled people.

As will be true of the Father and His eternal tabernacle (the two witnesses that will appear at the beginning of the new heaven and earth reign of Christ and herald the day of rest), the two witnesses of the eleventh chapter of the Book of Revelation will be Christ and His eternal tabernacle—the Body of Christ.

As was true of Joshua and Caleb, the two end-time witnesses (of Revelation Eleven) that bring in the Kingdom Age will go into the land of promise before the remainder of Israel and bring back the fruit of the coming Kingdom Age for Israel to behold, while the Lord's people still are wandering in the wilderness of the world.

As was true of Elijah and Elisha, the two witnesses of Revelation Eleven will be a portion and a double portion of the Spirit of God manifested among men.

We see then that we are in the time when the sixth set of two witnesses (Christ and His Body) is being prepared to bear witness to the eternal Day of the Kingdom. The day of the Kingdom will proceed from Christ and His Body, and Christ and His Body will reveal in themselves the nature of what the world is facing in the future.

What a day to be alive! Right?

We now have six eternal days running concurrently:

* The day of form—Adam and Eve.

* The day of the Church—Abraham and Sarah.

* The day of the law—Moses and Aaron.

* The day of light and revelation—the Father and Jesus.

* The day of eternal life—the Apostles and the Holy Spirit.

* The day of the Kingdom—Christ and His Body.

Have you noticed some of the parallels between the six eternal days and the six days of creation?

The first day, the giving of form to the creation.

The second day, the separating of the waters.

The third day, the dry ground, meaning that the moral law of God puts a foundation under our feet. Apart from the law of God we are adrift, having no stability in life. We are the victim of every pressure and circumstance.

The fourth day, the sun, moon, and stars to give light.

The fifth day, the beginning of animal life.

The sixth day, man in the image of God, being male and female, having fruitfulness and dominion. This is what God has planned for the Kingdom Age. We will learn the importance of being married to Christ. It will be a time of fruitfulness and dominion for the saints.

To be continued.
