Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 11:4
11:4. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.
God sends two witnesses, namely Moses and Elijah when antichrist reigns over the world for three and a half years to strengthen the churches of God that are left in the world and not evacuated to the wilderness, so they do not worship the antichrist and deny Jesus, but keep worshipping God although they must experience the great tribulation up to being beheaded or being martyr. They will be risen in the body of glory when Jesus comes a second time to greet His coming on the glorious clouds.
The two witnesses are the same as the two olive trees. It has relation with the anointing oil of Holy Spirit.
The two witnesses are also the same as the two lampstands. It has relation with the light of testimony.
The oil and lampstand cannot be separated. It refers to the power of Holy Spirit and it has been prophesied in the book of Zechariah.
Zechariah 4:2-4,6
4:2. And he said to me, "What do you see?" So I said, "I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps.
4:3. "Two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left."
4:4. So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"
4:6. So he answered and said to me: "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the LORD of hosts.
'but by My Spirit'= the power of Holy Spirit.
So, the two olive trees and the two lampstands refer to the power of Holy Spirit.
Further, it is fulfilled in the book of Acts.
Acts 1:8
1:8. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
The power of Holy Spirit is the power to testify. The lampstand will go out without Holy Spirit, so we cannot testify.
The fleshly men just become a stumbling-block. They cannot testify because they sacrifice others and God.
The spiritual men can be the witness of God although they have to sacrifice. It is like the flax that is burnt to produce the light.
Holy Spirit is the anointing oil that makes the lampstand keep on burning in the darkness. It is the same as keeping testifying in the middle of shock in the world, hatred without any reason, impossibility, and pre-persecution of the antichrist, so the lampstand keeps on burning until Jesus comes a second time on the glorious clouds. We become as perfect as Him to greet His coming.
Why does God send the two witnesses?
He sends them because of by the mouth of two witnesses the matter shall be established, and by the mouth of three witnesses the matter shall be perfect and cannot be charged against by anything.
Deuteronomy 19:15
19:15. " One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established.
2 Corinthians 13:1
13:1. This will be the third time I am coming to you. "By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established."
Revelation 11:3-4
11:3. "And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."
11:4. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.
Jesus sends the two witnesses to face the antichrist in the world, so the matter shall be established. It means that we do not need to doubt but watch over.
How can we watch over? We must receive the testimony of Moses and Elijah, so we can become the witness of God. We do not experience the persecution of the antichrist for three and a half years but being evacuated to the wilderness, far from the eyes of the antichrist. We are taken care of and protected by God Himself with the true teaching word and Holy Communion.
God sent three witnesses, namely the tree wise men to face His first coming, so the matter shall be perfect. We do not need to doubt but watch over, so we can become as perfect as Jesus.
Matthew 2:1-2
2:1. Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,
2:2. saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him."
The three wise men come from the East where the sun rises.
Luke 1:76-78
1:76. "And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,
1:77. To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the remission of their sins,
1:78. Through the tender mercy of our God, With which the Dayspringfrom on high has visited us;
Jesus' first coming is like the dayspring. It refers to His place, namely the kingdom of heaven.
So, the wise men who come from the East refer to the three men who are always with God, namely Enoch, Moses, and Elijah.
By the power of Holy Spirit, we must receive the testimony of Enoch, Moses, and Elijah, so we can become the witness of God up to perfection like Jesus, and we are worthy to greet His second coming on the glorious clouds.
Now we learn about the testimony of the three men as follows:
The conclusion is that we can receive the testimony of Enoch, Moses, and Elijah in the sheepfold or perseverance in committing three kinds of main service, so we can become the witness of God like them, namely living in holiness, honesty, righteousness, obedience, and faithfulness.
It is the same as stretching out our hands to God. We worship Him. We trust and cry to Him.
In the past time, Enoch, Moses, and Elijah or the three wise men received Jesus who came a first time in Bethlehem. That is why we must receive Jesus in the sheepfold.
Now for us, if we have the testimony of Enoch, Moses, and Elijah, we will be able to greet Jesus when He comes a second time on the glorious clouds. In the sheepfold, God stretches out His hands with the power of lifting up.
Tonight, let us experience the lifting up from God.
The results are as follows:
God blesses us.

4:3. "Two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left."
4:4. So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"
4:6. So he answered and said to me: "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the LORD of hosts.
'but by My Spirit'= the power of Holy Spirit.
So, the two olive trees and the two lampstands refer to the power of Holy Spirit.
Further, it is fulfilled in the book of Acts.
Acts 1:8
1:8. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

1:77. To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the remission of their sins,
1:78. Through the tender mercy of our God, With which the Dayspringfrom on high has visited us;
Jesus' first coming is like the dayspring. It refers to His place, namely the kingdom of heaven.
So, the wise men who come from the East refer to the three men who are always with God, namely Enoch, Moses, and Elijah.
By the power of Holy Spirit, we must receive the testimony of Enoch, Moses, and Elijah, so we can become the witness of God up to perfection like Jesus, and we are worthy to greet His second coming on the glorious clouds.
Now we learn about the testimony of the three men as follows:
- Enoch.
Genesis 5: 22-24
5:22. After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters.
5:23. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.
5:24. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and He took him.
The number three hundred refers to the circumference of the Tabernacle, namely 100 cubits in length, 50 cubits in width.
It means that the right company with God must be in accordance with the true teaching word that is sharper than any two-edged sword or the Bride Tidings in the light of the Tabernacle.
The facts of walking with God are as follows:- The Fear of God. It means that one is fearful of doing sins up to perverse mouth.
Psalm 25:14
25:14. The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant.
Proverbs 8: 13
8:13. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.
If we have the fear of God, we will love Him and others. We live in holiness.
If we lie, we will hate others and God. - Being honest.
Proverbs 3:32
3:32. For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD, But His secret counsel is with the upright.
It starts from being honest about the teaching or God Himself.
Titus 2:7
2:7. in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,
Not being honest is the same as blaspheming the teaching or God.
If we are honest, we will decorate the true teaching word.
Further, we are honest about the marriage, ministry, money, and all things.
If we are not honest about the teaching, we will not be honest about the marriage, starting from the time of the relationship and the engagement.
Titus 2:7
2:7. in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,
If we are honest about the teaching and all things, we will become a pattern or witness for others. On the contrary, if we are not honest, we will become a stumbling-block. Consequently, a millstone are hung around our neck. It means that our life becomes heavy until we are thrown down to the sea. Our life experiences decadence up to perdition.
Proverbs 15:8
15:8. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
Now we receive the testimony in the perseverance in committing the Prayer Serviceor the Golden Altar of Incense. We have fellowship with Father God in His love.
In prayer, we experience the process to tear the flesh until it does not speak anymore, so we are worthy to be lifted up to the heaven like Enoch. - The Fear of God. It means that one is fearful of doing sins up to perverse mouth.
- Moses.
Deuteronomy 34:5-6
34:5. So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
34:6. And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day.
Moses died according to the word of the LORD. It means that his whole life was according to the word of the LORD or his life and death were in accordance with the true teaching word.
Where can we live in accordance with the true teaching word? We can live in accordance with the true teaching word through the perseverance in committing the Bible Study Serviceor the Table of Showbread. We have fellowship with the Son of God in the teaching Word and the sacrifice of Christ.
In the Bible Study Service, the true teaching word will be ingrained in our life. The fact is that we live in righteousness according to the will of God although it contradicts the one of flesh and ourselves.
Peter was ever failed when he became a fisherman. Then he became a fisher of men. But, he became a fisherman again when Jesus died because he used his fleshly sight. It was logical, but not in accordance with the will of God.
Consequently, he was totally failed and naked. It often happens in our daily life.
Keep in line with the will of God until the finish line, namely our death or Jesus' second coming although it is out of our mind!
The proof is that Peter caught the fish at noon because he obeyed the will of God.
Judas 1:9
1:9. Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
No one knows Moses' grave and his dead body is contested by God and Satan.
After being dead, one is still contested, moreover when he lives.
That is why we must keep in line with the will of God.
Moses' dead body is really in the hands of God because his life is line with the will of God until he dies.
If our life is not in line with the will of God even in one thing, we will be in the hand of Satan.
Be careful! The last test for a young man is about mate. If one is not obedient, his ministry will be in toil.
Through the Holy Communion, we are not just living in the hands of God but also leaning on Jesus' breast. God is responsible for our life and death. When Moses died, he was risen in glorious body to be lifted up to heaven.
Receiving the testimony of Moses means that we live in righteousness according to the true teaching word and Holy Communion. - Elijah.
2 Kings 2:10-11
2:10. So he said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."
2:11. Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. It refers to the power of Holy Spirit.
Where can we receive it? We can receive Holy Spirit in the perseverance in committing the General Serviceor the Golden Candlestick. We have fellowship with Holy Spirit God in His anointing and gifts.
The facts of living in the anointing of Holy Spirit are as follows:- Being obedient.
Romans 8:15
8:15. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." - Being faithful and fervent in the ministry to God.
Romans 12:11
12:11. not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
1 Kings 19:9-10
19:9. And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
19:10. So he said, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life."
Holy Spirit helps us to become faithful and fervent until the finish line.
Do not get disappointed and desperate as well as leave God!
- Being obedient.
The conclusion is that we can receive the testimony of Enoch, Moses, and Elijah in the sheepfold or perseverance in committing three kinds of main service, so we can become the witness of God like them, namely living in holiness, honesty, righteousness, obedience, and faithfulness.
It is the same as stretching out our hands to God. We worship Him. We trust and cry to Him.
In the past time, Enoch, Moses, and Elijah or the three wise men received Jesus who came a first time in Bethlehem. That is why we must receive Jesus in the sheepfold.
Now for us, if we have the testimony of Enoch, Moses, and Elijah, we will be able to greet Jesus when He comes a second time on the glorious clouds. In the sheepfold, God stretches out His hands with the power of lifting up.
Tonight, let us experience the lifting up from God.
The results are as follows:
- The power of lifting up helps one who is lame because of the weak heart, namely hoping to worldly gold and silver, and others.
Acts 3:5-7
3:5. So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
3:6. Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk."
3:7. And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
Being lame means that one is not faithful but lives in uncleanness through sight and deed up to the destruction in marriage and children.
Be careful! If we are not faithful in marriage and ministry, we will be lame and cannot go forward.
Let God heal it. The weak heart becomes strong. The destruction in marriage and children is restored, so we enter the unity of the marriage. - The power of lifting up helps one who drowns because of the doubtful heart to the true teaching word and the power of God.
Matthew 14:29-31
14:29. So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
14:30. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"
14:31. And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
Drowning is the same as decadence, stress, deep fear, and tears.
Let God restore, even increase all things. He wipes our tears, so we live in serenity. - The power of lifting up helps the hard heart or the one that has no honesty and trust. Not having honesty and trust will cause ruin, decay, failure, and impossibility.
John 11:39-40
11:39. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
11:40. Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"
Let us become gentle tonight, so we can be honest and have trust to God. We will experience the power of lifting up. Decay is changed into fragrance. The impossible thing becomes possible. Failure becomes success and beauty.
God blesses us.
