Dear brothers and sisters,
Before you delve into this new prophetic Word concerning the ‘2 Witnesses’, you may want to go back and review the original 3-part series I shared entitled, “WHO ARE THE ‘2 WITNESSES’?” It would be beneficial to have that basic foundation to build on.
This Word is essentially a collection of various Scriptures and short Rhemas I have compiled over the course of several months. This document has been meticulously written in chronological order. I apologize if some pieces may seem random. Try to stay with me til the end.
At first glance, it may appear that Rev. 11 is the only chapter that relates to the ‘2 witnesses’. However, as I diligently spent time with the Holy Spirit each day, He kept highlighting to me many more verses that indirectly point to them. What a marvelous thing to allow the sweet Holy Spirit to guide us through Scriptures! There is no better teacher!!
I used to think that the lives of the ‘2 witnesses’ would be so cool, full of powerful displays of Yah’s glory, spreading the Gospel across the world, attracting many souls unto salvation. What a wonder to behold and a real treat for End Times! Although this may be true, the Holy Spirit has keenly shared with me another aspect of their lives. Please bear with me as this Word can be a bit lengthy and intricate. So, without further delay, put on your spiritual glasses, grab your Bibles and let’s jump right in.

Rev.11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
In a previous Word I shared entitled, THE THIRD TEMPLE, you can review the correlation between the ‘2 Witnesses’ and the 2 olive trees as outlined in Zec.4 as Jeshua and Zerubabbel. As for the 2 candlesticks, Rev.1:20 says, “The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.”
The Bible clearly says that the 7 candlesticks represent the 7 churches depicted in Rev.2 and 3. Now, if you further review the account of each individual church, you will see how the ‘2 Witnesses’ refer to the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia who are the only 2 who did not get rebuked by Yahshua.
Rev.2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life (Church of Smyrna).
Rev.3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth (Church of Philadelphia).
Furthermore, Yah reminded me of the story of Yahshua’s transfiguration in Luk.9:29-31 and painted this picture: that after Yahshua’s face and clothes became as bright as a flash of lightening, that there appeared before Him Moses and Elijah, in glorious splendor. This goes hand in hand with Zec.4, if you can visualize Moses and Elijah as the 2 olive trees feeding into Yahshua as the Lampstand and the Light of the world.
John 8:12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Yah gave me a vision of the “Trees of Righteousness” mentioned in Isa.61, sitting in court, exercising their authority as “jury duty”.
April 25/2024
I received a brief Rhema:
THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN YOU WILL BE LED LIKE A SHEEP TO THE SLAUGHTER AND YOU WILL REMAIN SILENT.
This rhema stemmed from the reading in Mark 15 when Yahshua, though being incriminated with all sorts of charges, remained silent; He did not open His mouth in His defence.
Then the Holy Spirit connected the resurrection of the “2 witnesses” to Hab.1:5 which says:
“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you.”
That week of April 25, I was really struggling with a few issues at home. I felt so pressed I nearly wanted to give up. When I asked Yah why things were so incredibly hard, He answered saying that End Times are not going to be a walk in the park. For we will be greatly hated for His Name’s sake. We will encounter great opposition. All that we’ve gone through is to prepare us for that. The world will hate us because we’ll constantly be speaking about its need to repent while it wants to thrive in wickedness. We will be greatly scoffed, mocked, persecuted, betrayed for we are not greater than our Master. We will be called demon-possessed, Beelzebub while following Yahshua precisely in His footsteps. Yet we must take heart because our Saviour has already overcome and gone ahead of us to make the way for He is the Way, the Truth, the Life and the Resurrection.
Matt.10:36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
Matt.10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

Yah was showing me how He used Moses to perform the ten plagues because of Pharaoh’s pride and unbelief. In like manner, Yah will use us. Pharaoh missed his opportunities to repent then, and people will miss theirs now. Only a VERY SMALL minority will eventually be saved out of all those we will have the privilege to minister to.
* The plagues, illnesses that will come upon the earth will wipe out entire cities making the black plague look like child play.
* The level of famine that will come upon the earth will force us to see sights we’d wish we’d never see where people will resolve to cannibalism to survive. The hearts of men will grow extremely cold as lawlessness will abound. Money will fail; security will fail. People will learn how to fend for themselves, if they want to stay afloat.
*There will be a great break in society, in resources, in the way we are accustomed to doing life.
The “2 witnesses” will prophecy to the nations before Yah’s wrath is poured on the earth full force. They will preach repentance. They will be entrusted to divulge the Gospel to the ends of the earth letting everyone know that Yah is no longer going to withhold His wrath once their prophesying ends. People will not appreciate the nature of their messages for they will contain much doom and gloom.
Matt.24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

While reading Luke 9:44, the Holy Spirit repeated, ‘LISTEN CAREFULLY….YOU’RE GOING TO BE BETRAYED – HANDED OVER’.

Verses given:
Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
May 4/2024
Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
May 8/2024
John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
After the death (and resurrection) of the ‘2 Witnesses’, MANY more souls will come to salvation. More on this later on.
May 9/2024
Psa. 142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
Psa.141:9-10 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. 10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
The ‘2 witnesses’ will have many opportunities to share the Gospel and reap souls unto salvation. However, there will be equal amounts of wicked remarks and hatred coming our way. Don’t forget that, when the Antichrist will overpower us and kill us, that people will gloat over our dead bodies and send each other gifts. Our lives will mirror Yahshua’s who also suffered scorn, insults, humiliation at the hands of those who claimed to know the Law and Yah’s commandments – the very ones who bragged to have knowledge and understanding, but in reality were blind. The same are the ones who are, and will be, persecuting us.
Confirmation verses:
Isa.42:3-4, 6 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. 6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles.
Regarding “a light of the Gentiles”: if you consider that we are True Israel, then everyone else around us would be “the Gentiles”.
May 11/2024
Reflections based on Isa.45:
In olden times, Yah used King Cyrus to free His ppl Israel from the Babylonian captivity and appointed him to rebuild His temple. In our times, we are the “Cyrus” who will deliver Yah’s ppl from their bondage of sin and addiction and lead them into the land of our inheritance. In other words, we are the ones who will assist with the rebuilding of Yah’s spiritual temples.
For further understanding on this piece, you may want to tune in to an older study I shared entitled, THE THIRD TEMPLE.
The next point is that we will be sold by our own families such as in the examples of Joseph and Yahshua. During the time the beast system will be enforced, people will be awarded for snitching and handing over anyone caught infracting with any of the beast’s rules. Can you imagine the price the antichrist would award for us?
*This reminded me of an older prophecy where Yah said that there will come a time when a bounty would be placed on our heads.
Furthermore, there will also come a time when we will become very sorrowful and troubled, asking Yah, if possible, to take our cup from us.
During this particular week, the Holy Spirit kept showing me passages pertaining to Yahshua’s death; like every detail is significant to illustrating our death starting with being sold by those close to us, to being hated, scoffed, mocked, killed, and finally, resurrected. He is heavily impressing on my Spirit how things will be made difficult for us but in every step of the way, Yah will deliver us (if our time is not yet) until we’ll be handed over.
