Hey All & Hi,,
Keeping in mind what i have just posted the idea that was raised went along these lines.
Exodus 37
6 He made a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.
7 He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat;
8 one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at the two ends.
Just as the Two Cherubims guard the Tree of Life with a flaming sword, just as the Two Cherubims face each other on each side of the mercy seat on which God appears, so too,, the Two Witneses stand before the Lord.
Rev 11
3 "And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
And what are these Two Olive trees? Zech 4 explains it in full detail for us to understand.
9 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
10 "For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven will be glad when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel--these are the eyes of the LORD which range to and fro throughout the earth."
11 Then I said to him, "What are these two olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?"
12 And I answered the second time and said to him, "What are the two olive branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves?"
13 So he answered me, saying, "Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord."
14 Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth."
That golden oil is the Spirit of God that they pour out of themselves during their testimony for 1260 days,, there was also mention of the Woman in Chapter 12 representing Gods Grace and how it will flow through the Two Witnesses for the 1260 days.
Rev 11 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way.
Or one could say a Flaming Sword if one takes a Spiritual view on these words and the events surrounding the eventual death and resurrection of these two men.
12And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here " Then they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them.
Is it not after these events that the Ark of the Covenant seen in the Temple
19 And the temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple, and there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a great hailstorm.
It is after this that Christ Returns, the two witnesses are dead and risen in the clouds and the Ark has been placed into the Lords Temple.
Rev 19
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war.
12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself.
13 He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
Acts 1
9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them.
11 They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."
[sm=icon_smile_fish.gif]This is all i remember at present about the Two Witnesses being part of the Ark. Sorry if it doesn't make that much sense, as it is all over the shop in pieces here,, but i must admit i have never tried to put this stuff together before. I just remember being told the verses in question and roughly how they relate to each other and that was a few years ago.
Capture the Dream,
yours In Christ,,
God Bless.
