The
Witnesses
Part 3
Who Else Will the Witnesses Alienate?
Take your pick of any of the institutions controlling out lives.
♦
Academia focuses on creating good corporate employees, which are expected to
be good consumers and, for good measure, teach concepts which preclude the
existence of God.
♦
Science not only thinks it is society's alternative to God, it is accepted
that way. Every aspect of scientific research, from the origin of life to
prolonging and altering life, reeks of a godless mindset. The projects in
place, and those, planned for the future to colonize and mine space, takes the
public funds away from solving problems on the planet and, by default, gives
false hope based on theories, while ignoring those real planetary problems
based on fact. The majority of scientists are engaged in either the chemical
industry or military projects; one destroys the environment and harms it
inhabitants slowly, the other destroys the environment and harms its inhabitants
quickly.
♦
The military is directly threatened by a prophecy repeated three times in the
Revelation that the witnesses will certainly emphasize. "And he shall rule them
with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers:
even as I received of my Father." (Rev. 2:27) "And she brought forth a man
child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught
up unto God, and to his throne." (Rev. 12:5) "And out of his mouth goeth a
sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them
with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath
of Almighty God."(Rev. 19:15) How will the massive military-industrial complex,
now possessing great power and reaping indecent profits from those they
"protect", react to the prospect of surrendering that control to an off-world
force? Would this not also apply to further millions of law enforcement
officers, as well as the intelligence agencies, think tanks, and myriad
industries supporting our obsession with war?
♦
Politics, which includes the politicians themselves, the lobby industry, the
peripheral business interests focused on the political concept, and the
millions of people facilitating the political process are under the cloud of
predicted obsolescence from the above cited prophecies.
♦
The appearance of the two witnesses will garner all the media’s attention and
it will no doubt be a windfall for them. No doubt there will be 24 hour
coverage of their every move and that this coverage will only be interrupted by
commercials. It is those commercials that support the mainstream media and it
is corporations that not only pay for that advertising, but corporations also
own the outlets that air the news. The last part of this equation is that the
government is under the thumb of the corporations, the government champions the
corporate mindset, and the government makes every effort to control the spin of
any news coming from those corporate owned media sources. Is there any doubt
that the witnesses will not only denounce the media, but predict the complete
replacement of the entire industry with a media dedicated to the cause of the
new government of God and for the good, not the money, of the people?
♦
Sex, violence, bloodletting, idol worship, weapons, drugs, intrigue, crime,
war, hate, perversion, greed, corruption, conspiracy, wealth, stupidity, and
degradation of people are the core values of almost every aspect of what is now
passed off as entertainment. The witnesses are not only direct representatives
of God, but the values of God. Reread the list above and consider that this
industry must certainly receive a major share of the attention of the
witnesses.
These are just some of the major social institutions that will lose everything
if the predictions from the witnesses about a complete takeover of the world by
the Christ come to pass. The government, the military, the corporations, the
church, the military, academia, the scientific community, every other social
institution, and most of the world's population will perceive these two
witnesses as the ultimate threat to the entirety of humanity and especially the
lifestyles of the more influent. This concept of a top-down, authoritarian, and
physically-enforced rule in the hands of one being, and not even a human being,
will be completely unacceptable to those institutions and the world's
population as a whole.
Most of those reading this very critical review of the state of our world will
reject it. Were it not for this reality, the world would never arrive at the
threshold of annihilation the Bible predicts, the two witnesses would not be
attacked, eventually killed, and have their deaths celebrated worldwide. A
handful of the more liberal media sources are recognizing a few of the
conditions outlined in this writing, but none will be able to accept the
ultimate takeover of the world by any force from the outside. In general, the
intolerance of the Christian churches has caused any of those who believe
alternative realities about the sad state of our world to reject all aspects of
Christianity, including Jesus, or any concept of his return to save humanity.
So even those who might accept the truth will join the world in the assault on
the witnesses; throwing out the baby with the bathwater, so to speak.
These witnesses will be considered the ultimate global terrorists; not only
attacking the world's institutions with words, but attacking the world's people
with calamity and doing it with impunity. They will be attacked, but they will
have the power to retaliate with great force and will be able to continue their
work for 1260 days or 3 1/2 years. It will not be until after they are killed
and resurrected after three days that any of the world's population will realize
who they are; the messengers of God. They will be condemning the sins of the
world and announcing the return of Jesus, just as John the Baptist did to
prepare the world for the first coming of the Christ, and who was also killed
for his efforts.
Some wonder about the identity of these witnesses, and there are references to
them in other works associated with Bible and the early church, referred to as
the lost books. We must ask, however, if specific identification is really
necessary? It will be hard to miss them, and no matter whom they are thought to
be, their words and the calamities they inflict on the world will make any
identification, beyond the world's worst terrorists, irrelevant. Whoever they
are, they will be hated, attacked constantly, killed, and their deaths will be
a joyous event worldwide. It is not their names that will identify them, but
their message and their awesome power.
In conclusion; it should be noted that this writing is only for the purpose of
putting this event in proper perspective. We know the world, through general
consensus, will hate the witnesses, no matter who they are, or who sent them.
We also know that the true purposes of these prophets will be unknown and
irrelevant until after their deaths. It is also a strong consideration that
this event will probably add to the rejection of the return of the Christ, and
fuel the resistance to his return by the powers of evil predicted in the Bible.
"For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the
kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that
great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue
Armageddon." (Revelation 16:14 - 16).
This will be the final event before the return of Jesus to his throne on Earth,
and only after the presence of the witnesses is an ugly memory. It is hoped
that the few who remember these words will recognize these witnesses. The true
value of these words will not be generally accepted until after the witnesses
are taken, and the Christ is on his throne. It will then not be possible for
the world to say it was not warned, as that warning is now in these words
for all to see.
