EPISODE 363

WITNESSES AND PLAGUE: REVELATION 11-16

I have, for many years, been intrigued by the two witnesses. When I was about 18 years old, I read a Christian fiction book about the final days. I recognized then that the book was a work of imagination but also that it was inspired by Revelation. It was in that book, thirty years ago, that I first learned about the two witnesses. I've been curious about them ever since. I am comfortable saying that these two witnesses are symbolically revealed back in the book of Judges, and without a doubt, I see them in the book of Zechariah. Honestly, I want to understand Revelation much better than I do, and I'm confident that understanding Zechariah will be instrumental in that endeavor.

I don't have much to say about these chapters. My head swirls with thoughts. I find it interesting that there are so many people who seem so sure of how Revelation plays out and what all the symbols mean. I must confess, that I am not smart enough for that at this point in my life, so I will hold my tongue for now.
