Two Witnesses...

Back to Sermons WOR

Whenever there is to come a major change in God's working with people, God prepares and brings forth two witnesses. We now are approaching the change from the Church Age to the Kingdom Age. Therefore God is preparing the sixth of the total of seven pairs of witnesses. As was the case in all previous sets of witnesses, the nature of the next age is being formed in them at the present time and will be brought forth in them when they have been prepared fully.

(8/28/2011). I have written often of these sets of witnesses and the new era they heralded. I refer to the eras as "days." Those who are acquainted with my writings will recognize that I often change the names I have assigned to the eras. These differences have to do with the current burden I am emphasizing. Adam and Eve: The Day of Form.

Abraham and Sarah: The Day of Separation.

Moses and Aaron: The Day of the Law. (John the Baptist was the last prophet of the Day of Law.) The Father and Christ: The Day of Light. (The Father and the Son working together brought us Light that was not possible under the Law of Moses.).

The Holy Spirit and the Apostles: The Day of Life. "We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him." (Acts 5:32)

Christ and His Victorious Saints: The Day of Reconciliation.

God and His Tabernacle: The Day of Eternity.

In the present hour, God is preparing the sixth pair of two witnesses. They will herald the Day of Reconciliation. The Day of Reconciliation has begun in the witnesses being prepared in our day, and will extend to the two witnesses of the Day of Eternity, that is, until God and His Tabernacle appear from Heaven, coming down through the new sky to be located for eternity upon the new earth.

But how does God prepare a witness?

"You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me." (Isaiah 43:10)

Is this what you are experiencing today? God desires that you be His witness and His servant. He has chosen you for these two roles. He is leading you through numerous problems and tests so that you may know and believe Him, and understand that He is who the Bible says He is. You are to be assured that there was no God formed before the God of Heaven, and there will be no God formed after Him.

These virtues must be established securely in you before you can bear witness of the living God and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

In addition to this transformation of your personality, God will fill you with the new aspect of His dealing with people. The new aspect is that of reconciling man to God and God to man. The sixth era is the Day of Reconciliation.

When we commenced our Christian discipleship we were not reconciled to God. Neither was God reconciled to us because of the worldliness, lusts, and self-will of our personality.

God is not reconciled to His Church or to the remainder of mankind because of worldliness, lust, and self-will. If you presently are being prepared as a witness, Christ and you being the sixth set of two witnesses, God is dealing with you about worldliness, the passions of your flesh and soul, and your self-will and self-love.

You must disengage yourself from the things and attitudes of the world. Meanwhile you must perform all your duties faithfully. But little by little you will find that Christ is leading you away from trusting in the world for your survival and security.

When the Spirit of God points out to you the deeds of your sinful nature, you must confess them to God, one by one, and resolve that by Christ's help you never again will perform any of these deeds. They are enemies in your land! Now comes the hardest aspect of entering your land of promise, the "rest" of God. You must surrender your life to Christ, moment by moment, choosing to live by His Life. Every decision, every plan, every problem, every situation, every relationship, must be presented to Him. Your original personality must be put to death as you keep choosing to live by His Life.

Each of these three areas, the security, survival, and pleasure found in the world (Antichrist) spirit; the lusts and passions of the sinful nature; and our original personality and all self-will and self-love; must be reconciled to God. When they are, God will be reconciled to you.

You are acquainted with God and His Son, Jesus Christ. You are reconciled to God in every aspect of what and who you are, and God is reconciled to you. Now you are prepared as a witness, along with Jesus, of the Day of Reconciliation that even now is on the horizon.

When the moment arrives, in the Father's time, you will receive power and authority never before entrusted to a human being. The power of the seven thunders will speak.

Christ and you now are two witnesses, just as the Father and He were two witnesses of the Day of Light. The Law of Moses did not bring the Light that was true of the Father and the Son working together.

The world could see only the Son, but the Father was Present. The world will see only the victorious saints, but Christ will be Present.

Adam and Eve revealed in themselves the eternal Form of mankind.

Abraham and Sarah revealed in themselves the eternal wall that separates God's elect from the remainder of mankind. Moses and Aaron revealed in themselves the eternal Law, the moral Nature of God.

The Father and Christ revealed in themselves the eternal Composition of the Godhead.

The Holy Spirit and the Apostles revealed in themselves the eternal Life of God.

Christ and His victorious saints will reveal in themselves the eternal reconciliation of man and God.

The Father and His Tabernacle, His Church, the new Jerusalem, will reveal in themselves the righteousness, love, joy, and peace of the eternal era, which thus will begin.

Whoever is wise will listen carefully to the Lord Jesus every waking moment of the day and night, and diligently obey the Lord in all He commands.
