Revelation 11:3-4
[3]And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
[4]These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Revelation 11:3-12 reveals that right after the translation (Rapture) two strange but amazing prophets will appear in Jerusalem. (Rev. 11:3). They will warn the Jews of the deeds of the anti-christ and will literally smite the earth with plagues! They will call asteroids and fire right out of the heavens; also they will literally dry up the atmosphere for 42 months!" (vr. 6) - Rev. 8:7-12. "They also lead the 144,000 Hebrews!" (Rev. chap. 7) - "The two witnesses are killed and translated just before the 7th trumpet and the 3rd woe. (Rev. 11: 12-15). The two Witnesses of Revelation 11 come to Israel to call out the 144,000 Jews back to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Remember that the Jews were blinded to this truth until the fullness of the Gentiles be fulfilled. They will come to Israel to testify to them about Jesus Christ being their true Messiah. They will show signs and wonders following their ministry.The AntiChrist will hate these two prophets and will kill them, but God will raise them up again after three days and be caught up into heaven. Make no mistake about it. Here it is written in REVELATION 11:3-12. Who are these two Defenders that challenge the Anti-Christ? And who are the 144 000 people mentioned in Rev 7:1-8 and Rev 14:1-5? Are they same people or two different 144 0000?
This we shall be looking into in today teaching. I believe at the end the Lord will grant the reader understanding and revelation. Make sure you take time to study along with your Bible and patiently study to the end. This teaching is taken from the Sermons and writtings of the last two Major Prophet; Former Rain Messenger, William Marrion Branham and Latter Rain Messenger, Neal Vincent Frisby.
Who Are These Two Witnesses?
Revelation 11:3-13
[3]And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, 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 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 spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[12]And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
[13]And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

"The Scriptures definitely reveal that Elijah is one of them. (Mal. 4:5) But if you notice right above in verse 4 it mentions Moses, too! And his type ministry does favor some of the events that take place in Rev. 11 :6, like turning the water into blood as he did in Egypt, etc." "They also lead the 144,000 Hebrews!" (Rev. chap. 7)."
"MOSES AND ELIJAH Return during tribulation as two witnesses. Also, two groups of people are witnesses too – Foolish Virgins and the 144,000 Jews. How could the Bible say the world saw Jesus coming back, with ten thousands of his saints at the end of tribulation – (Because He first has to rapture them before He can come back with them). Then after they leave it pours over greater into the Jews and the tribulations. With Moses and Elijah, as they plague the earth. Many prophetic writers are in agreement with this. Two of them W V Grant and Gordon Lindsay. Rev 11:3, 10.
The anti-christ kills the two witnesses (Moses and Elijah) Rev 11:9 and they of the whole world shall see their dead bodies, three and half days. The world views the scene by satellite television! Just as the world are seeing God’s Word and Healing Power by satellite T V and Internet as a witness too".
"The anti-christ will see all men through invented satellites with T.V. cameras that can scan the earth surface in a matter of hours. This will make it hard for those who want to escape the mark during the Tribulation. (666 - Rev. 13:13-18). Within 24 hours they will be able to locate every group of men or any strategic point in the world! The inventions being developed for our own use, will fall in the hand of the anti-christ when he rises to power! With T.V. camera eyes watching every point of earth there will be no place to hide! (Man child already raptured Rev. 12: 5) Also by satellite T.V. the world will see the Two Witnesses killed! (Rev. 11: 3-9). Now infallible proof the Two Witnesses are Moses and Elijah, the Two Prophets of (Rev. 11: 3) Almost all prophetic writers agree Elijah is one of the witnesses (Mal. 4: 5) But not so on Moses, some say the other one is Enoch!"
Here is proof it is not Enoch.
"In Hebrews (11: 5) it says Enoch was translated that he should "not" see death! But "both" of the Two Witnesses will "die!" (But it says Enoch will "not" die!) Enoch was a first fruit type of the Bride who shall not die at rapture time!! God hid Moses body and no one could find his grave! Why? Because God had a future work for him to do (Deut. 34:6 ,Jude 1:9) Jesus tells me to write this here "His Two Witnesses appeared with Him on the Mount of Transfiguration. (Luke 9: 30) God raised Moses body for a future work! The Two Witnesses die and are resurrected on the third day (Rev. 11: 11) Also Moses was a prophetic type of Christ. Moses died (disappeared) raised and they never discovered his body! (Deut. 34:6 - Jude 1:9) Neither did the Jews discover what happened to Jesus body! (It disappeared) raised by God!"
"As God took Enoch, He took Elijah. There was a purpose in the translation of these two men! - They are a type of the saints who will be alive and translated at the coming of the Lord! - Moses died and was resurrected again! (Jude 1:9) - He is a type of those who died and are resurrected at Christ's coming! - Now Moses was seen talking with Elijah a type of the translated saint at the Transfiguration! (Luke 9:30) - And both of these men were talking to Christ before His resurrection and translation!" . . . "Also evidently after the translation these two Prophets, Moses and Elijah will reappear again".
What is The Duty of These Two Witnesses?
Quotes below are from William Marrion Branham's Sermons...
"Now, these two prophets, what will they do?
It’s Moses and Elijah. They’ll rise on the scene. They’ll tell those Jews their mistake. And out of that Jewish bunch that’s there now to be the 144,000, God will call with these prophets... What is it? the Spirit of Elijah off of this Gentile church will just continue right on into that Jewish church, go right on in and call Moses with him. Hallelujah. You see it? And he’ll preach the same message of Pentecost to those Jews, that they rejected the Messiah. Amen. You see it? It’ll be the same Pentecostal message that these Jews will preach right over to them. They’d raised up a great powerful 144,000... They had the Holy Ghost, and brother, you talk about doing miracles; they did them. They stopped the heavens, and it didn’t rain in the days of their prophecy, smote the earth with plagues as oft they wanted to. They give plagues and everything else. They’ll give them Romans a hard way to go. But finally they’ll be killed. Our God is a terrible God when He’s angry. But remember, that’s over in the seventieth week, and the Bride in glory. Amen. The wedding supper’s going on. Yes. Now, notice. (SEVENTY WEEKS OF.DANIEL.title JEFF.IN DA89-141 61-0806)"
"They have power over the waters to turn them to blood and to smite the earth with plagues as oft as they will... What is it? What can bring these things but the Word? They can do nature anyway they want to. It’s the prophets the other side of the rapture. With the power of God, the Word of God, they just condemn nature. They can send earthquakes, turn the moon into blood, the sun can go down or anything at their command. It’s Moses and Elijah, ‘cause there’s their ministry reimpersonated again: both men. It’s those prophets. (SIXTH.SEAL.THE.title JEFF.IN 63-0323)"
Neal Frisby Wrote...
" Before their death and Translation, their duty is to turn the hearts of the children of Israel back to God and to worship the Lord Jesus; and to declare the false Temple of the Jews as the abomination of desolation where the beast sits!" (ll Thess. 2:4). They will warn the Jews of the deeds of the anti-christ and will literally smite the earth with plagues! They will call asteroids and fire right out of the heavens; also they will literally dry up the atmosphere for 42 months!" (vr. 6) - Rev. 8:7-12. "They also lead the 144,000 Hebrews!" (Rev. chap. 7) - "The two witnesses are killed and translated just before the 7th trumpet and the 3rd woe. (Rev. 11: 12-15)."
AND THIS GOSPEL SHALL BE PREACHED UNTO ALL THE WORLD AND THEN THE END SHALL COME (Matt 24:14) The Lord definitely tells me to explain this, even after the Bride is raptured the 144,000 Jews and the foolish virgins will still be preaching and giving a witness for awhile during part of the Tribulation. (Rev. 11:3) Also we see an angel proclaiming the gospel will be preached after the rapture. (Tribulation harvest) (Rev. 14:6) This is exactly what He meant the gospel will be preached to every nation and then the final end comes! But the Bride witnesses and leaves and the 2 witnesses finish up the gospel.
The 144 000
Revelation 7:2-8
[2]And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
[3]Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
[4]And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
[5]Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
[6]Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
[7]Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
[8]Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 14:1-5
[1]And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
[2]And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
[3]And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
[4]These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
[5]And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Quotes from Neal Vincent Frisby.....
"BEHOLD I SHOW YOU A MYSTERY!" - Who are the 144,000 of (Rev. 7:4) and who are the 144,000 of (Rev. ]4: 1) There is definitely a revelation between the two groups. I will approach this subject as cautious and thoroughly as possible without being dogmatic. I am not claiming infallibility about this. Perhaps you have a different opinion concerning this than what I will write, if so no harm is done. (I have a deeper insight than I am going to write) but I am told to write this as a mystery! The scrolls are like the Bible, the spirit will have to reveal some things to you"
"First the 144,000 of Rev. 7:4 are definitely Israelites (Jews) but the 144,000 of (Rev. 14:1) "were redeemed from the earth"! These were redeemed from among men! Now notice (Rev. 14: 3-4) "reads" redeemed from the "earth" - Earth means all the world not just localized to the nation of Israel where the other group of (Rev. 7:4) come from! First the Israelites of (Rev. 7:4) have the seal of God in their forehead - (The 144,000 of Rev. 14: 1) have the fathers name written in their forehead! "Jesus said I came in my fathers name" (St. John 5:43) Also the Israelite group arc on earth during the Tribulation. (Rev. 7:3 - Rev. 16) (Rev. 14:6-9). But notice the 144,000 of (Rev. 14:1) are in heaven while the Tribulation is on! (Rev. 14:1-5) The 144,000 Israelites on earth are being protected from judgment (Rev. 7:3) while the 144,000 of (Rev. 14-1) follow the Lamb where so ever He goeth (Rev. 14:4) Now it says there appeared with Him on heavenly Mount Zion! (not the earthly Mount Zion) (Heb, 12:22, 23) shows us the difference - Now then these 144,000 of (Rev. 14) are a special group. They are called first fruits unto God! We definitely know there are different orders among the Redeemed - "as one star differeth from another star in Glory'" (I Cor, 15:41-42) (Jesus said also I have other sheep not of this fold) (St. John 10:16) Now the 144,000 on Mount Zion (Rev. 14:1) are the first fruits unto God, they will be one of the highest order in Heaven - but they are not the only first fruit unto God, there will be millions more of the Elect which are raptured! But the 144,000 of (Rev. 14:1) are evidently some specific order of the Bride!"
"Here is why the group in Rev 14:1 a special Group
(I) the 144 ,000 of (Rev. 14:1) were called virgins, this means they were not joined to great organizations (Rev. 17:5) "this does not pertain unto marriage," but the spiritual!)
(2) They had the fathers name written in their forehead (St. John 5:43)
(3) There was no guile in their mouth.
(4) They sang a new song no one else could sing!
(5) They are the first fruit unto God.
"Now the 144,000 Jews of (Rev. 7:3) are servants of God. (Israel was always called the servant) The 144,000 of (Rev. 14) are first fruits unto God and seemingly hold a higher position! While the Israelites serve before God, the 144,000 first fruits sit with Christ in His throne! (Rev. 3:21) Now the Lord did not tell me this but this group of (Rev. 14: 1) could have been the ones who cried to the wise virgins to get ready when "they said Behold the Bridegroom cometh go ye out to meet Him” (Matt. 25:3-6). The Wise Virgins were asleep too (Matt. 25:5) But the group that made the cry were not asleep - Amen! The 144,000 of (Rev. 14:1) were called virgins also so there is a connection together in the Bride body, although having a different work! One thing that set them aside they knew what the name of God was! Also remember the group of (Rev. 14: I) are not all which is in the Bride, for there will be many more than this!
"THE DEGREES OF GOD CONCERNING HIS CHURCH - out of the Church Ages and 7 Seals will come forth different groups in God's divine plans. One is "Israel Jews" (sealed) 144,000 (Rev. 7:4) - But there is definitely another hidden group of 144,000 (Rev. 14:1-2) There is "a cry" out of the Thunders at midnight to the wise, this voice cannot be stopped. Matt. 25:6) the voice to the wise was "go ye out"! This group (144,000) was evidently part of the "wise virgins", yet separated as a very high degree of the spirit Bride. The first fruits and the wise together are raptured. They are part of and yet a "separate voice" to them! (Paul spoke there are different degrees just like the sun is one glory, the moon another glory, the stars another. (I Cor. 15:40-42). Now the voice which cried was separate from the wise virgins who were grouped and asleep with the foolish! Yet the wise are of a higher degree spirit (oil) than the foolish and were separated by the "voice!" The ones who made the cry were not asleep!
"The group in Rev. 14:1-4 are called the first fruits (the Sons of God) these evidently are associated with "the wise" as a particular group. They were called the "first fruits" and this would put them ahead of the Tribulation group or the 144,000 Jews! Notice they sung a new song (verse 3) but the Tribulation group in (Rev. 15:2-3) sing the song of Moses instead of the new song! It would be more fitting for them to sing Moses' song, same as those did when they crossed the Red Sea! The first fruits with the wise have more than just oil, they never lost their first love! The group in Rev. 14 know "His name", it is written across their forehead"
End of Quotes
Indeed, God's plan are shrouded in mystery, it will take prophetic anointing to reveal these mysteries. I believe we now understand who the two witnesses are and the two 144 000 groups. In our next teaching, we should be looking at the Order of Ressurection, The First and Second Ressurection, then the White Throne Judgement. Make sure you study our previous teachings too. God bless your heart.
Dominalti for CHRIST,
On Behalf of End Time Hub!!!
