All Things New: A Study in RevelationMuestra
What does it say?
John measured the temple and saw the two witnesses of God giving testimony and carrying out their ministry before being murdered. The seventh trumpet is blown.
What does it mean?
Revelation 11 pictures the willful rejection of God’s continuing call for repentance and the utter hatred of the lost for all that is godly. Even though the world will try to silence God’s witnesses, His message will keep coming through – loud and clear. Judgment has finally come, and no one will be able to hide any longer. Evil may appear to win when the two witnesses are killed for testifying to the truth, but their resurrections will attest to their faithfulness and God’s power. Christ will be declared King over all things and worshipped as the Lord God Almighty.
How should I respond?
If you stand for the truth of God’s Word, someone will reject you and may even persecute you. As ominous as that is, our job is not self-preservation but gospel presentation. Have you allowed fear of rejection to stand in the way of sharing the Gospel of Jesus? The urgent need to tell others about Christ has been our recurring theme throughout the Book of Revelation. With whom is God prompting you to share your own salvation story? There is no reason to fear – we serve the victorious One who will reign forever and ever!

Exiled on the island of Patmos, John wrote the book of Revelation to seven churches in the Roman province of Asia. The book opens with encouragement and warnings for the seven churches and is followed by a series of end-times visions. Revelation’s powerful imagery assures believers of Jesus’ coming return, His triumph over all His enemies, and the establishment of His kingdom that will know no end.
