I HAD SOME KIND OF PROPHETIC DREAM ABOUT THE TWO WITNESSES!!? I WAS TOLD TO COME HERE AND POST, PLEASE READ!

According to whom, have you crushed me? To all who read this thread, if Ireland has "crushed" me, please reply to this message/thread letting us know. I will be happy to pose my stance very simply and strongly based in Holy Scripture.

Thank you to everyone.

RockyMtnLady

So Ireland, it seems that you are certainly on your own thinking you "crushed" me.

Let me ask you, since you claim that Jesus Christ, Messiah, is the BRANCH. When did our Saviour, who is the tree of life become just a branch?

For those searching the truth, read Isa 11:1 as the difference can clearly be seen.

God Bless you,
RockyMtnLady

The Branch is the Messiah you clown.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

11:1-9 The Messiah is called a Rod, and a Branch. The words signify a small, tender product; a shoot, such as is easily broken off. He comes forth out of the stem of Jesse; when the royal family was cut down and almost levelled with the ground, it would sprout again. The house of David was brought very low at the time of Christ's birth. The Messiah thus gave early notice that his kingdom was not of this world. But the Holy Spirit, in all his gifts and graces, shall rest and abide upon him; he shall have the fulness of the Godhead dwelling in him, Col 1:19; 2:9. Many consider that seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are here mentioned. And the doctrine of the influences of the Holy Spirit is here clearly taught. The Messiah would be just and righteous in all his government. His threatening shall be executed by the working of his Spirit according to his word. There shall be great peace and quiet under his government. The gospel changes the nature, and makes those who trampled on the meek of the earth, meek like them, and kind to them. But it shall be more fully shown in the latter days. Also Christ, the great Shepherd, shall take care of his flock, that the nature of troubles, and of death itself, shall be so changed, that they shall not do any real hurt. God's people shall be delivered, not only from evil, but from the fear of it. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? The better we know the God of love, the more shall we be changed into the same likeness, and the better disposed to all who have any likeness to him. This knowledge shall extend as the sea, so far shall it spread. And this blessed power there have been witnesses in every age of Christianity, though its most glorious time, here foretold, is not yet arrived. Meanwhile let us aim that our example and endeavours may help to promote the honour of Christ and his kingdom of peace.
Pulpit Commentary

Verses 1-9. - A RENEWED PROPHECY OF MESSIAH AND OF HIS KINGDOM. This chapter is closely connected with the preceding. With the final destruction of Assyria, which, being cut down, sends out no shoot (Isaiah 10:33, 34), is contrasted the recuperative energy of Israel, which, though equally leveled with the ground (Isaiah 9:18, 19), shall spring afresh into life, and "renew its youth." The recovery is connected - or rather identified with the coming of Messiah, whose character is beautifully portrayed (vers. 2-5). An elaborate description of Messiah's kingdom follows (vers. 6-10) - an expansion of the briefer one in Isaiah 2:3, 4. Verse 1. - There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse. The blasted and ruined "stem" or stock of Jesse, cut down, and for ages hidden from sight, shall suddenly put forth a sprout - a young green sapling, tender vet vigorous, weak seemingly, yet foil of life (comp. Job 14:7-9, "There is hope of a tree, if it he cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not crease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant"). "The stem of Jesse" must mean the house of David, for there is but one Jesse (Ishai) in Scripture - David's father. A Branch shall grow out of his roots. That which is at first a sapling gains strength and grows into a "branch" (see Isaiah 4:2, where the word used, though different, is synonymous).
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse,.... By which is meant, not Hezekiah, as R. Moses (o) the priest, and others, since he was now born, and must be at least ten or twelve years of age; but the Messiah, as both the text and context show, and as is owned by many Jewish writers (p), ancient and modern: and he is called a "rod", either because of his unpromising appearance, arising "out of the stem of Jesse"; from him, in the line of David, when that family was like a tree cut down, and its stump only left in the ground, which was the case when Jesus was born of it: Jesse's family was at first but a mean and obscure one; it became very illustrious in David's time, and in some following reigns; from the Babylonish captivity, till the time of Christ, it was very low; and at the birth of Christ was low indeed, his supposed father being a carpenter, and his real mother Mary a poor virgin, dwelling at Nazareth; and it seemed very unlikely, under these circumstances, that he should be the King Messiah, and be so great as was foretold he should; and have that power, authority, and wisdom he had; and do such mighty works as he did; and especially be the author of eternal salvation; and bring forth such fruits, and be the cause of such blessings of grace, as he was: or else because of his kingly power and majesty, the rod or branch being put for a sceptre, and so a symbol of that; to which the Targum agrees, paraphrasing the words thus,

"and a King shall come forth from the sons of Jesse:''

and the sense is, that though Jesse's or David's family should be brought so very low as to be as the stem or stump of a tree, without a body, branches, leaves, and fruit; yet from thence should arise a mighty King, even the King Messiah, who is spoken of by so many august names and titles, Isaiah 9:6 and this is observed for the comfort of the people of Israel, when distressed by the Assyrians, as in the preceding chapter Isaiah 10:1; when those high ones, comparable to the loftiest cedars in Lebanon, and to the tallest trees in the forest, should be hewn down, a rod should come out of Jesse's stem, which should rise higher, and spread more than ever they did:

and a branch shall grow out of his roots; the roots of Jesse, out of his family, compared to the stump of a tree; meaning either his ancestors, as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Boaz, and Obed; or his posterity, as David, Joseph, and Mary; and so the Targum,

"and the Messiah shall be anointed (or exalted) from his children's children.''

The branch is a well known name of the Messiah; See Gill on Isaiah 4:2 the word Netzer, here used, is the name of the city of Nazareth (q); which perhaps was so called, from the trees, plants, and grass, which grew here; and so our Lord's dwelling here fulfilled a prophecy, that he should be called a Nazarene; or an inhabitant of Netzer, Matthew 2:23. The Jews (r) speak of one Ben Netzer, who they say was a robber, took cities, and reigned over them, and became the head of robbers; and make (s) him to be the little horn in Daniel 7:8 and wickedly and maliciously say (t) he was Jesus; and yet, under all this wickedness, they tacitly own that Jesus of Nazareth is the Netzer this prophecy speaks of; the design of which is to show the meanness of Christ's descent as man, and that he should be as a root out of a dry ground, Isaiah 53:2 or rather as a rod and branch out of a dry root.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

CHAPTER 11

Isa 11:1-16.

From the local and temporary national deliverance the prophet passes by the law of suggestion in an easy transition to the end of all prophecy—the everlasting deliverance under Messiah's reign, not merely His first coming, but chiefly His second coming. The language and illustrations are still drawn from the temporary national subject, with which he began, but the glories described pertain to Messiah's reign. Hezekiah cannot, as some think, be the subject; for he was already come, whereas the "stem of Jesse" was yet future ("shall come") (compare Mic 4:11, &c.; 5:1, 2; Jer 23:5, 6; 33:15, 16; Ro 15:12).

1. rod—When the proud "boughs" of "Lebanon" (Isa 10:33, 34, the Assyrians) are lopped, and the vast "forests cut down" amidst all this rage, a seemingly humble rod shall come out of Jesse (Messiah), who shall retrieve the injuries done by the Assyrian "rod" to Israel (Isa 10:5, 6, 18, 19).

stem—literally, "the stump" of a tree cut close by the roots: happily expressing the depressed state of the royal house of David, owing to the hostile storm (Isa 10:18, 19), when Messiah should arise from it, to raise it to more than its pristine glory. Lu 2:7 proves this (Isa 53:2; compare Job 14:7, 8; see on [704]Isa 8:6).

Branch—Scion. He is nevertheless also the "root" (Isa 11:10; Re 5:5; 22:16. "Root and offspring" combines both, Zec 3:8; 6:12).

You are the one spewing false teachings. You fail badly. I find it amusing how you use a false prophet/teacher to validate yourself.

Yeah you did and it's obvious to anyone who reads this. That is why you took so long to respond when God Almighty humbled you and your haughtiness. And me lol'ing is to let you know how much I am laughing at you and your weak failings. I don't see why you would think it is nervous laughter, what do I have to be nervous of from you.

"You are digging your own grave and sealing your fate."

You have no Authority to make those claims. Fail. lol

That's a cool copy paste, Bro.

One Love,
D.

P.S: Had to report your post where you disrespectfully called RML an inferior woman that does not know her place.
This is the lowest you have ever been, so far.

Thanks, D. but if it's not him, it will be someone else.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12)

I believe it to be our job as brothers and sisters to stick together and watch over one another so I appreciate your gesture.

May God Bless you,
RockyMtnLady

Maybe because I'm meant to be isolated. What would you know? Pfftt. And of course they can have a decent conversation, they all believe and accept the false prophet scum. I ain't here to win friends, it doesn't come with the territory. I don't fit in without any of that picture and I am glad of it. I don't want to associate with that kind.

"And about the "you act and speak like you know" thingy, you are the one who keeps on picking expressions or things posted by others to integrate them in your speeches."

And that is total nonsense. Please show where I do that you clown, you bloody idiot. Stop talking shite.

THE TWO WITNESSES OF REVELATION
[link to www.herealittletherealittle.net]

Dear Eliyahu,

I felt the need to comment on this as I came across that particular website on my journey for truth. Scripture clearly indicates that the Two Witnesses of Rev.11.3 are individuals.

Mat 20:20-23
20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

Historically, they are Joshua and Zerubbabel, read Zechariah 4.

May God Bless you on your quest for truth,
RockyMtnLady

Hi RML,
Do you mind commenting on the 144,000 please.
The way they are soken of in the above link is very interesting.
Many thanks!
One Love,
D.

Hi D.,

The sealing of the 144,000 is occurring now. They are God's elect. They have read, understood, and believed in the everlasting gospel. It is God's army of redeemed souls and spirits from all over the world. They, led by the Two Witnesses of Rev.11.3, will fight the powers of Satan with the invincible power of God's spirit.

Hope that helps.

God Bless you,
RockyMtnLady

The seventh trump is at the end of the seven years, not the 3.5 year mark.

Dear people,

Let me tell you the truth, that God Almighty is now calling His army of honest spiritual people from everywhere in the world to fight for truth and righteousness.

It has started from the north country as foretold in the Psalm, not because people in the north are better than the rest of humanity, no way, but God Himself know the best from where to attack His enemy, the Antichrist.

That is why the Lord has until now blessed the north country, especially Norway, to give His servant the short time of respite in order that we speak the truth that He according to Zech 6:8 foretold that He would.

I, the true witness of God, does not favour any race or regions of this world, for God Almighty sent me to fight for all their cause who suffer iniquitous unrighteousness, whoever they are or wherever they are.

I bleed in my heart at seeing my sister and brother suffer whherever he or she is, for I am not their enemy but instead the sign of God sent to them.

So, listen to me, I have the star of truth in my hand, I have the power of Messiah in my hand in being His voice of two beams that you may be redeemed and love you righteous God!

When the day gets hotter you will have the opportunity either to believe or reject what I tell you, for I am not false, and my tears stream down in sorrows for the sorrows I do see.

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

Dear people,

Be also aware of the fact that the spirit of Jesus Christ as settled in the man child of Rev 12:5 can open the seals of the book of Revelation, and through him his two arms or horns, who are the two witnesses of Rev 11:3.

Therefore, whoever claims to be able to expound the book of Revelation and who writes books on it for sale is a liar, for nobody can truly expound these secrets today without being indeed one of the two witnesses in Rev 11:3.

When we expound this book the devils will be beyond themselves with anger because the truth is now being revealed to their destruction, but they can do nothing to the true testimony of God's true witnesses. We are here to win the war of heaven, and it will be the last warning to all humanity!
