   the two candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth. And   
   if any man desires to harm them, fire will come out of their   
   mouths and will consume their enemies: and if any man desires to   
   harm them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to   
   control the sky, so that it will not rain in those days: and have   
   power over waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth   
   with all plagues, as often as they will. And when they have   
   finished their testimony, the wild beast which ascends out of the   
   bottomless pit, shall make war against them and shall overcome   
   them. And their dead bodies shall be upon the street of the great   
   city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also   
   their Lord was crucified. And their dead bodies will be seen by   
   the peoples and kindred and nations and tongues for three days and   
   a half, and it will not be permitted to bury their dead bodies in   
   graves. And those who dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them,   
   and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these   
   two prophets tormented those who dwelt on the earth. And after   
   three days and a half, the spirit of life from God entered into   
   them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell on those   
   who saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying to   
   them, Come up here. And they went up to heaven in a cloud; and   
   their enemies saw them.   
      
   So we can see here that they shall have two extraordinary powers,   
   given to them by God, when their 3 1/2 year period of time mission   
   begins:   
      
   1.   
   To instantly kill another person just by speaking it so -   
   depicted as speaking fiery words in anger;   
      
   2.   
   To control the elements - depicted as controlling the sky   
   by holding back rain, and as power over waters to make   
   them undrinkable, and as smiting the earth with all plagues   
   as often as they want to.   
      
   WOW! JUST IMAGINE!   
      
   But the downside to their thus 3 1/2 year carte blanche shall be   
   their knowledge that they shall be killed at the end of it. How   
   many people could bear, and bear up under, such a mission and   
   destiny? Not many.   
      
   But two do come to mind, and they fit the profile in a number of   
   ways: Reincarnate Beloved John and his reincarnate Brother James,   
   whom Jesus had dubbed "the two sons of thunder". I say that this   
   was Jesus' clue or hint that they would be "the two anointed ones"   
   and "the two olive trees" and "the two candlesticks" that would   
   play such a large role in regards to his return or second coming.   
      
   Another such clue that Jesus gave in regards to John and James   
   was the following prophecy that he gave about them:   
      
   Matthew 20   
   Now Jesus was ready to go up to Jerusalem; and he took his twelve   
   disciples apart on the road, and he said to them, Behold, we are   
   going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered to the   
   high priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death.   
   And they will deliver him to the Gentiles and they will mock him, and   
   scourge him, and crucify him; and on the third day he will rise up.   
   Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him, together   
   with her sons; and she worshiped him, and requested something   
   of him. He said to her, What do you wish? She said to him, Command   
   that these two sons of mine sit, one at your right and one at your left,   
   in your kingdom. Jesus answered and said, You do not know what you   
   are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am ready to drink, or be   
   baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized? They said   
   to him, We can. He said to them, Indeed my cup you shall drink, and   
   the baptism with which I am to be baptized, you too shall be baptized   
   with.   
      
   Well, in that lifetime, James was killed, but John was not. So Jesus'   
   prophecy in regards to them both being killed would have to have   
   been pertaining to a future reincarnation of them, and being the two   
   Witnesses Prophets Testifiers totally fits the bill, as not only shall   
   these two persons be killed, but for at least 3 1/2 years before they   
   are killed their words shall resound across the entire globe like   
   thunder being heard from one area to another.   
      
   Amen!

   ARTICLE TEN   
      
   BIBLE PROPHECY: ALL THE WICKED SHALL BE REMOVED   
   FROM THE EARTH IN ONE DAY, IN THE EVENING   
      
   The Holy Bible plainly tells us that all the wicked shall be   
   removed from the earth in one day, in the evening.   
      
   When shall this occur, and by what means, and why?   
      
   It shall occur the evening that Jesus returns to Mount Olives,   
   and be effected by various means - sword, fire, plague, earthquake,   
   more - and the reason is to fulfill God's promise that only the   
   righteous shall be on the earth for one thousand years straight   
   of peace and joy in the wonderful company of one another, while   
   all of the wicked shall be on the other side in outer darkness   
   where they shall be weeping and gnashing their teeth or in other   
   words crying and complaining and suffering mental torment and   
   "enjoying" the company of one another.   
      
   Keep in mind that the new glorified regenerated body which God   
   gave to Jesus will be the same type of body that God will have   
   given to the righteous before gathering them together in the   
   clouds above Mount Olives to meet and greet and join Jesus as   
   he finishes his descent back to Mount Olives. Thus at that point   
   every soul still carnate on earth would be a non-glorified   
   non-regenerated wicked soul. This latter fact accounts for the   
   many scriptures which prophesy God suddenly removing every   
   person on the earth from it - as all such persons at that   
   point are wicked persons.   
      
   Keep in mind also that a biblical day consists of a nighttime and   
   a daytime, rather than a daytime and a nighttime. So the evening   
   that Jesus returns to Mount Olives is the beginning half portion   
   of the first day of the promised millennium.   
      
   Before this beginning half portion evening of the first day of the   
   promised millennium shall be the ending half portion daytime of the   
   previous day but there shall have been no light from the sun or moon   
   or stars and it shall have thus been cold and icy due to a very thick   
   cloud cover set by God (see below). [Note: For more detail regarding   
   the events of the morning and of the afternoon of the day of Jesus'   
   evening return, including the earth being turned upside down or   
   a pole reversal, see my article PROPHECY: THE CAYCE READINGS   
   AND THE HOLY BIBLE (PART TWO) on separate thread at this forum.]   
      
   After this beginning half portion evening of the first day of the   
   promised millennium, violence shall be no more, and the first   
   morning or dawn of the promised millennium shall occur,   
   to the joy of all of the righteous.   
      
   This is the order of events regarding Jesus' return and the   
   removal of all the wicked from the earth in one day,   
   in the evening:   
      
      
   F I R S T   N O   S U N L I G H T,   N O   M O O N L I G H T,   
   N O   S T A R L I G H T,   D A Y T I M E   H A L F   
   P O R T I O N   O F   P R E V I O U S   D A Y   
      
   Revelation 6   
   There was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as   
   haircloth and the moon became red as blood.   
      
   Joel 2   
   The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood   
   before the great and the terrible day of the Lord comes.   
      
   Isaiah 13   
   The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,   
   and the stars will not give their light.   
      
   Ezekiel 32   
   I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover   
   the sun with a cloud and the moon will not give its light.   
      
   Joel 2 & 3
