Review
Last week we finished proving that the 1260 days of Rev 11:3 are the 350 years of slavery and spiritual death of the negro that lasted from 1619 to 1969 in Amerikkka.
Overview
Today we’ll continue to break down each verse of Rev 11 till we get to the 7th Trumpet. We’ll pick up in verse 4.
Verse 4
The two witnesses and the two olive trees
- Northern and southern Israelite kingdoms
- We proved in Chapter 5 via the following scriptures
- Zech 4:11-14 They are the two anointed ones
- Q. Who are the two anointed ones?
- 1 Chron 16:13-22, 22*, Ezekiel 37:21-22 & Judges 9:8-22 reveal that the northern and southern kingdom are the two witnesses
Verse 5
If any man will hurt them…
See Interlinear for correct translation
- The ‘them’ are the two prophets ie. the northern and southern kingdom.
- We've already proven that in the two preceding verses.
“Fire proceedeth…”

- Jer 23:29 the word is the fire this verse is referring to
