Reading Revelation 11:3-7 (RR26)

Two witnesses.  Two prophets.  They preach against the monster.  And for that they are executed.  They come in the spirit of Zerubbabel and Joshua as well as Moses and Elijah.  They take the path of Jesus, speaking truth in their generation, even if it costs them their lives (and it does).  Here is a powerful reminder to the church to stand as witnesses of Jesus, being faithful to what He taught and who He is, even if it costs us our lives.  We will not become part of the beast or create a monster to defeat the monster.  Instead stand as faithful witnesses.
