Instead of selling a message of hope in exchange for obedience; they’ll deliver a message of condemnation and claim to be testifying on behalf of the true God.

Two men lie dead in the street. For three and a half years, they’ve stopped the rain and condemned the world. The crowd around them cheers, sparking a celebration of their death. A party atmosphere breaks out and quickly spreads around the world. Their corpses are immediately seen around the globe through social media. People share photos taken next to their remains. All of the calamity that they’ve apparently brought on the world has finally come to an end.t
The Bible paints a vivid picture of a powerful scene that lies ahead.
Who are these two individuals? Are they really the source of international troubles and tribulation that the world will soon see? Join me on Beyond Today as we examine: “Who are the Two Witnesses?”
[Steve] The book of Revelation tells the story of four very powerful men and prophecies of the world that lie ahead. Bible prophecy tells us, the time of the end will be defined by world war, natural disasters, financial crises, and religious confusion. Jesus Himself predicted these future events, forewarning that everyone around the globe will be affected by these things.The book of Revelation has much to say about what these four men—pairs of two powerful people—who will impact the world in the end time.
The two who end up murdered in the street are known in the Bible as the two witnesses. They’re God’s two witnesses.
They will stand up and testify for God and His Word and His Way at the time of the end. They’re the ones who will oppose the world’s political and religious leadership and convict the world of its sins. You can find their story in Revelation 11.
The other two men—those two leaders that convince the entire world that they have the answers to their problems—are pictured in Revelation 13 as wild animals, as beasts. One beast—the political leader—is said to come from the sea. The other wild animal—the religious leader—comes as a beast from the earth. What can it mean? How can we make sense of this strange picture from the Bible’s final book? And how can you keep from being deceived?
You need to have the answers. You need to know where to find them, because so many people will tell you that they hold the key. How can you be certain? Where can you begin to look for the true answers—the real solution?
Well there is only one place you can find real answers and true hope for the future That’s in the Word of God—His Holy Bible. The answer isn’t some great secret that’s hidden away. It’s right here, in plain text, black and white—right there in your Bible.
It reveals how to identify the true witnesses of God and how you can be prepared for what lies beyond today.
There is a reason that God calls them “My two witnesses” in Revelation 11:3. These two men will represent the Almighty. They’ll bring His message to do His will. And as they bring God’s case against this world, they’ll also fulfill the role of prophet.
