Revelation 11:3...11:10
Kat:
Hi John,
Yes you are right, Ray did cover the "two witnesses" in his Twelve Truths paper.
http://bible-truths.com/twelve.htm ----------------
TRUTH NUMBER 6
[A.] "…that in the mouth of TWO OR THREE WITNESSES every word may be established" (Matt. 18:16).
[B.] "…In the mouth of TWO OR THREE WITNESSES shall every word be established" (II Cor. 13:1).
[C.] "And I will give power unto my TWO WITNESSES…" (Rev. 11:3).
This particular law of Scripture is constantly violated. We are to have at least a second witness to establish a Scriptural truth or doctrine.

Jesus tells us in parable of two great witnesses:
"Then said He unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which brings forth out of his treasure, NEW AND OLD" (Matt. 13:52).
What "new and old" treasures do "scribes" preserve for us regarding the "kingdom of heaven?" Why the NEW Covenant Scriptures and the OLD Covenant Scriptures, of course. And both the Old (Deut. 17:6 & 19:15), and the New (II Cor. 13:1 & Matt. 18:16) command that we must have two witnesses to establish every Word of God.

Arcturus, I could not have said it better. All responses are soul stirring in thought and bring yet greater gravity to:
Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
The Lake of Fire - Part XIV, The Beast Within
THANK GOD, that I (L. Ray Smith) had fallen away, left my first love, looked back, forsook the Lord, and watched my house upon the sand come crashing down! Only then was I able to stand upon the sand of the sea, and see the beast within, the man of sin, the son of perdition, and Satan the devil who DECEIVED ME!
But NOW, "I am crucified WITH Christ: nevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ lives IN ME: and the life which I now life in the flesh I live by the faith OF the Son of God, who loved ME [and YOU], and gave Himself for ME [and YOU]" (Gal. 2:20).
when I saw Him [in my SPIRIT] I fell at His feet as DEAD. And He laid His right hand upon ME [as He will upon YOU], saying unto ME [and unto YOU],
FEAR NOT" (Rev. 1:10-17).
Truly: "We have seen the enemy and he is US."

Joh 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Thank you all for your wealthy responses. There is much here to contemplate.

Exerpt from your post gk! 8)
Yes, I so appreciate that Ray identifies what our Lord is saying unto ME and unto YOU!...that is to US here in BT!
When I first saw your response and quotes from Ray, the words "Fear not" stood out off the page! That too is so beautiful to hear, recieve and integrate by the Spirit of our God who causes us to know Him. :)

Hi all,
I found a poetic verse in Isaiah that I believe is a spiritual match for Revelation 11:8.
Isa 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
This verse in Isaiah appears to me to back up what Ray is saying about the two witnesses and the Sum of thy word being Truth. The whole truth is the Truth. If I understand Ray correctly, he was saying the two witnesses represent the Truth since no verse of scripture is its own interpretation.
This is pretty amazing when you see that the street mentioned in Rev 11:8 is that of the great (according to the flesh) city of Jerusalem. The Jerusalem which is in bondage with her children. The earthly church as we all had a part of had truth lying in the street dead. In Rev 11:9-10 they/we even rejoiced over the death of Truth and wouldn't let it be buried so we could exalt in it. Wow!
