When Will We See The Two Witnesses? The 2 Witnesses are mentioned in Revelation 11. It is logical to conclude that the time of their prophesying will run parallel to the 1260 day reign of the Antichrist since it is written that there witness will be preached on the temple grounds for 1260 days, during the time that the nations tread Jerusalem underfoot for 42 months. (Rev. 11:2-3, 12:6,14, 13:5 Dan. 7:25, 12:7) In order for them to appear, the third temple in Jerusalem must be built on Temple Mount. Israel has to have destroyed it’s enemies as well in order to rebuild the temple because any attempt to do so now would lead to war with the Arabs. Therefore, the prophesies of Psalm 83, Ezekiel 38-39, Zechariah 12 and Isaiah 17 where the enemies of Israel are destroyed in one day by the hand of God must yet come to pass. This event must happen before, so the temple can be rebuilt, so the 2 Witnesses may appear as well. The 2 Witnesses will appear after: 1.) The enemies of Israel are defeated 2.) The third temple in Jerusalem is rebuilt 3.) The establishment of a global government composed of 10 superstates under one supreme dictator. This reign of the Antichrist is foretold to last 1260 days. This timeframe runs parallel to the preaching of the 2 Witnesses that will last for 1260 days. The witnessing of the Two will begin after the global government has invaded and conquered Israel after its founding. 4.) The conquest of Israel by the global government. Revelation 11:2 says that Jerusalem will be tread underfoot for 42 months. This will also be the time of the mark of the beast, the global genocide of the Church and the 144,000 sealed. Thus, before the preaching of the 2 Witnesses, Israel will fight 2 major wars. In the first, complete victory and the enemies of Israel are defeated laying the ground for the third temple. In the second, complete defeat and Israel is conquered by the global government of the Antichrist for 1260 days. The Bible says that after global government is established, 3 of the 10 kings will rebel in a world war. (Dan.7:7-8, 23-24, Rev.6:1-4) It is logical to determine that because Jerusalem is to be conquered for 1260 days, (the time of the 2 Witnesses and the reign of the Antichrist) that the invasion of Israel will happen after global government is established. Revelation 6:1-4 describes the rise of the Antichrist, the establishment of his global kingdom, and a world war that will result from 3 of the 10 kings under his rule rebelling. It is believed that Israel will be conquered as the first act of war of the NWO after Israel refuses to surrender her sovereignty to global government. This would explain the words “going forth and to conquer” when describing the rise of the Antichrist and the establishment of his global empire in Revelation 6:2. The fulfilment and interpretation of the Revelation 12:1-2 prophecy tells when the last 1260 days begin, marking the beginning of the reign of the Antichrist, the last era before the return of the Lord Jesus.
