kitty Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 The positive characterictis that I see are the two witnesses are bold, they have power and authority. They are not afraid to use their authority. They give glory to God while they are attacked. Their reward is after they have been killed, God puts breath back into them and then they are called up to Heavon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Stanley Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 What I see is that the two witnesses prophesied with astounding power during the tribulation period.It is also possible that these two witnesses symbolize faithful believers testifying during the tribulation.We should be powerful witnesses here on earth to the people.The two witnesses reward was they were called by God and assended to heaven.

linda biloni Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Though the 2 witnesses are in an environment hostile to christians, they do the will of God. They speak of God's faithfullness, they prophesize and they preach the gospel. As Christians this is what we are to do because we are disciples of Christ. Their reward is that they are resurrected and taken to heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOR ONE THING GOD IS NOT SHORT OF HIS WORDS. I DON'T THINK THEY WAS IN MOURNING HATING TO DO GOD'S WILL .SACKCLOTH WAS MOSTLY USED FOR MOURNING . ALSO DOING MISSION WORK IT IS BETTER TO GO IN TWO INSTEAD OF BEING ALONG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherdills Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Positive characteristics of the two witnesses that we should emulate in our day are faith, obedience, and testimony. Their reward is victory over their adversaries and disbelievers in Christ, as well as everlating life with our Heavenly Father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda bass Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Positive charateristics-1) not being afraid to speak God's word amidst a hostile environment 2) power and dominion over enemies 3)speaking boldly and coninually prophesizing the truth. Reward-resurrected after lying in the streets for 3 1/2 days-being taken into heaven as the whole world watched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liza Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 They are prophetic (warn the world to take the right path) clothed in sackcloth (mourning) olive trees (emboldened by Holy Spirit) lampstands (lights to the world) before the Lord (believers) fire from mouth (power of the Word) power to shut up sky (boldness of Elijah) power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Positive characteristics might include Unique clothing: not emulating current (sexy) culture, or maybe the garments of righteousness look like sackcloth and ashes to the world. Prophecy: we are to aspire to prophecy, 1Cor 14:1. Fire from the mouth may equal scripture. For example when satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness and was demolished by Jesus' use of Scripture. We are to know and use the Scriptures. We are to give testimony, no matter what the cost. We are to remain in our first love. If we do this, signs will follow. Revelation 2:4,5 refer to first love and works (miracles etc). Rewards Resurrection (the breath of Life from God) Taken to Heaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debora Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Q1. (Revelation 11:3-12 ) Interpreters disagree upon the identity of the Two Witnesses, but they are certainly strong and brave. What positive characteristics do you see in their actions that we should emulate in our day? What is their reward? 1. power; God given to devour enemies 2. boldness; speak the word of God 3. solid; stand firm on the foundation of Christ 4. strength; protected by God 5. witness; give testimony 6. faithfulness 7. trust and hope Their reward is God breathed life in them, resurrected life. Their reward is an invitation to "Come up here". There are taken up to heaven like Jesus in a cloud, while their enemies watched. They bypass judgement and go straight to the white robe status as overcomers, like martyrs do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallyb Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 #5 Q1.

PressThrough Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Q1. (11:3-12 ) Interpreters disagree upon the identity of the Two Witnesses, but they are certainly strong and brave. What positive characteristics do you see in their actions that we should emulate in our day? What is their reward? Whomever interpreted the Word, in order to add enlightenment to "It", well the effort is much Appreciated and Blessings, but the Scriptures speak for Themselves Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Rev 11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. ...Who are the temple of God, and the alter, & who worship therein. (So we are worshipping God & found doing so when the measurement is taken.) Rev 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. The theme is that of being humble in Sweet Adoration (Worship) of Abba Father! Putting off the flesh completely, being set apart to the Word of God! You can see by Rev 11:9 above, that our very own kindred & tongue of our nations will be against us. This is said else where in The Holy Bible as well. ex. mother's against daughters, brothers against sisters, kids against their partents.....So it's not going to be easy in the sense of acceptance. But Gods' Yoke is easy & His burden light. We don't have to worry about the persecution if we live virtuous lives, humbled before God. Persecution will come, and count it a joy. For the overcomer will "Eat Of The Tree Of Life" with God ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisicia Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 In Revelation 11:3, And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, (5 months)clothed in sackcloth. (4) These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. (5) And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. (6) these have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. (7) And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast (anti-christ, the devil, satan) that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. (8) And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spirituallly is called Sodom and Egypt, Where also our Lord was crucufied. (Jerusalem) When you have seen this happen you know for sure that you have not been "Raptured" away into the clouds. You have been fooled into thinking that you have been worshiping the "Real Jesus". After the two witnesses have done all of the things God has given them power to do. (9) And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. (no one is going to bury them, they are going to be left in street.) (10) And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. (They are going to be telling the people and all the nations that they are following the wrong Christ, and after they have been killed, the people are going to be happy about their death). (11) And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. (Here comes the Real Jesus) (All of this happens at the 6th vial, 6th seal, 6th trumph. 666 is the number of Satan's return. The real Jesus Christ comes at the 7th trump). I don't know who the (two witnesess) will be, but I'm looking forward to finding out when all of this takes place, on this earth, not up in Heaven .

Skroehr Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Q1. (11:3-12 ) Interpreters disagree upon the identity of the Two Witnesses, but they are certainly strong and brave. What positive characteristics do you see in their actions that we should emulate in our day? They remain steadfast in their conviction and their ministry in the fact of the tribulation because of their faith. We need to stand by our faith in the face of all manner of attack. What is their reward? Ascension to heaven and to see God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katzen Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 They were clothed in burlap and prophesied or the 3.5 years...obviously, worldy possessions and concerns are of no importance to them. (A lesson I shamefully admit I needed.) They were faithful to their death. Their reward (which can be ours) was in going to be with Jesus...and it was right in front of their enemies!

Barbara1 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 We are to witness continually, and the Lord will protect as we do His will.

chenista Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 The Father and Spirit are two witnesses referred to by Christ when he was dispositioned about his authority by the Pharisees. The two lampstands - the lampstands before the throne (12) are the the apostles of Christ who are rich (oil) in and with Spirit. The Father bears witness and the Spirit - they are all - divine power and authority which was imparted to Christ by the Father and then he empowered with the Spirit. Christ imparted this same power and authority to the disciples when he departed. By authority of the Father and with the power of the Holy Spirit. The two witnesses are in essence - the Father and the Spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What positive characteristics do you see in their actions that we should emulate in our day? What is their reward? Positive characteristics that I see in the witnesses actions that I believe we should emulate in our day include:- Tenacity - they prophesy for 1260 days. Obedience - they serve God. Faith - unquestionable belief in our Lord. Their witness and testimony - Eph 6:19 Pray also for me, so that, when I open my mouth, the right words will be given to me. Then I will boldly make known the secret of the gospel, This is a verse I think of when I pray for the strength that the two witnesses have. Their reward is a place in heaven.

What positive characteristics do you see in their actions that we should emulate in our day? The two witnesses are strong and brave. The witnesses performed the task that God had given to them to the very best of their ability. This is what we should do with our God given tasks. We all have an earthly life to follow God and live and work for Him. The reward the witnesses receive is when they are taken to heaven with their earthly mission accomplished to the very best of their ability.

Craig Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 They boldly preached the gospel without compromise which offended many. They preached the gospel even though they might lose their lives. They had a close, vigorous connection with God. They were faithful witnesses as Christians today should be regardless of who we might offend or what the consequences might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
