Jesus continued to show just how severe the world troubles are to become, threatening everyone on Earth with extinction: "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the Elect's sake those days will be shortened" (Matt. 24:21-22). Did you catch it? In spite of mankind's darkest hour, our apparent point of no return, Jesus offers us hope! He says we'll survive! He will personally put a stop to those days of dread. The Destroyer will come to his end, and the source of this world's conflicts will be cut off. Satan will be restrained (Rev. 20:2).
We have Jesus' own Word that life will go on. He'll stop the slaughter! Christ promises to prevent mankind's murder. A Rainbow will appear in the sky after the Storm -- everybody will see Christ's Coming! His magnificent return won't only be for a private audience (Matt. 24:30), and the counterfeit Christ (who precedes Him) won't come direct from Heaven with the holy angels and resurrected Saints.
Why will this madness end? It'll end for the "Elect's sake." Who are they? The literal descendants of Israel (primarily British-Israelites and Jews). We're the Chosen People! Isn't that politically incorrect? Yes, but it's biblically true because "the LORD has chosen you to be a people for Himself" (Deut. 14:2). We're special to God because of His unique love for our forefathers. He promised to be their God and the God of their descendants forever. God doesn't go back on His Word. It's impossible for Him to retract His statement: we will be His people and fulfill our national calling (Rom. 11:28-29).
Confidence Despite Carnage
The Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 know and will proclaim God's promise to our captive audience from Jerusalem. They've read His biblical pledge. Have you? Do you believe God will honor His agreement and keep His commitment? Your life will depend on it! Nevertheless, God will remember His sacred pact with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Lev. 26:42).
Even though we'll be responsible for our plight, and will have gotten ourselves into this predicament, "Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God" (Lev. 26:44).
That's why the Two Witnesses can boldly testify on God's behalf. They know what a merciful God we have. They grasp how important faithfulness is to God. God won't break His Word.
Isaiah was horrified by our nuclear holocaust ignited by the German-Jesuit EU, yet he was confident God would stop it before we were totally destroyed because of His promise: "Unless the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been made like Gomorrah" (Isa. 1:9).
Even though millions will perish and all hope seems lost, we have written guarantees that everything will work out for the best: "The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the Mighty God. For though your people, O Israel
Mission of Mercy
Once you realize what we're going to have to go through (since we insist), it becomes obvious that we'll have to receive some divine assistance along the way. That is why it's crucial that the command "Comfort, yes, comfort My people! says your God," is faithfully carried out (Isa. 40:1).
But then that's the reason for God's inspiration upon His spokesmen in Jerusalem. Their very purpose and commission reflects this brilliant hope: "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God..." (Isa. 61:1-2).
But doesn't that refer to Christ? Yes, in its ultimate fulfillment. But someone has to proclaim the "good tidings" that the Day of the LORD is coming! Someone has to announce that Christ is about to return! And for further proof of a scripture that clearly refers to Christ, yet was fulfilled in part by two men (one in mind and purpose), read Acts 13:47 where Paul applies Isa. 49:6 to Barnabas and himself. The two anointed ones will be shining with this glorious GOOD NEWS! They'll fulfill their mission to: "Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted, 'Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you" (Isa. 35:3-6).
