“But when they have finished their testimony and their evidence is all in, the beast (monster) that comes up out of the Abyss (bottomless pit) will wage war on them, and conquer them and kill them.” Revelation 11:7 ->me: I have been sitting here for a good while this morning trying to wrap my brain around the scene of the 2 witnesses. I have been praying and asking the Lord for wisdom and discernment; not necessary to understand fully the picture here but to see what He has for me to take away. This is what He has revealed to me. When I am a TRUE follower of Him, there is nothing the enemy can do to veer me off my path of God’s work. It was only when their testimony was finished and the evidence was complete that the Lord removed the witnesses from the scene. I can walk confidently forward in not only my sanctification but in my witness to others. The evil one cannot destroy me before the work of the Lord through me is complete. God gave the witnesses power to defeat their enemies with the fire of their words (Jeremiah 5:14) and I have similarly have the Sword of the Spirit. I must remember that this holds true while I am doing the work of my Savior. Just a couple of verses ago I read about John measuring the sanctuary, altar, and counting the worshipers; I must remain counted (secure in my relationship and effective in my ministry) to have the confidence that I will only be taken when God’s work in and through me is complete. This can sound morbid and comforting at the same time. I am cool with that. 🙂
