Lesson 255: THE BOOK OF REVELATION – PART 20

INTRODUCTION:
In Rev. 10, we saw John the revelator eating a strange little book. As from Rev. 11, we can see him unfolding some of the things in the book even as the 7th trumpet below. May God bless us as study in Jesus Name. Amen.

1. WE ARE THE TRUE TEMPLE OF CHRIST

The temple of Christ’s time had been leveled by the Romans 25 years before the book of revelation was written. Therefore the temple that john saw must be one in future. But today, we Christians are the true temple of Christ on earth. During the tribulation, the Jews will build a new temple with assistance of the Antichrist.

Rev. 11:1-2; Dan. 9:27; 1 Pet. 2:5; Eph. 2:20-21; 1 Cor. 3:16; 11 Cor. 6:16; Eze. 40; Zech. 2; Luke 21:24;

2. THE TWO WITNESSES

Two special witnesses of Christ, believe to be Elijah and Moses will prophesy for 31/2 years during the tribulation before the Antichrist kills them. They will remain unburied for 31/2 days before resurrecting and ascending to heaven. Their case will be classical example of the truth that the devil may win a battle but God will always win the war.
