To all that think Mr. Weinland could be one of the two Witnesses and His Wife to be the second Witness

Not a chance

Look at Rev. 11

(Rev 11:3) And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

(Rev 11:4) These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

Olive trees and candlesticks, a little research will show what these represent and it is not Mr. and mrs. Weinland

The relationship between Yahushua and Yahueh (Vav can be U or W pronounced the same) is illustratrated easily. Yahweh in his full presence would overpower the creation and destroy it, but when he reduces his presence to the level of the elements here the world we live will not only survive but flurish. If you look at the sun with the naked eye you are very quickly blinded but if you put a tinted lense between your eye and the sun you can look at it and not be blinded yet it is the same light. Yahushuah is that light that we can observe and yet survive.

(Exo 33:20)  And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

I noticed on an earlier page someone mentioned that Enoch was written in Aramaic which suggests a late date, it was also suggested that the books of the bible were written in Hebrew. Not one copy of the Old testament (Tanak) written in Hebrew exists today, zero, none, nada. The oldest copy of the Tanak that exists is the Septuagint also known as the LXX which is written in Greek. Something to keep in mind is after several and many diaspora the Hebrew people no longer spoke Hebrew. Hebrew spoken today in Israel is Sephardic which has been reintroduced purposely to restore and maintain it as the language proper. After the 2nd century AD when the Roman Empire exiled most of the Jewish population of Jerusalem following the Bar Kokhba revolt, Hebrew gradually ceased to be a spoken language, Hebrew was reintroduced in the nineteenth century. Aramaic as a language itself is highly influenced by Hebrew.

Concerning the book of Enoch the confussion actually starts at the first council of Nicea where statements of faith and canon start at 325 A.D. After which the book banning and burning also starts up once again.
The book of Enoch was well known and well used up to that point, as for the date of which it was first written would be impossible to assertain because of its antiquity. The modern organised church had claimed its authorship to be in the fifth century A.D. however the find of the scrolls at Qumran proved the date to be much earlier, sometime B.C. Something else to note is the mention of the writings of Enoch in the book of Jubilees which was written 200 B.C. which determins a date prior to Jubilees. In a word the book of Enoch is very old.
The fact that Jude quotes it and Peter aludes to it and many others parallel the content of Enoch is significant. The messianic teachings within the book of Enoch are many none of which are contrary to the bible. Something else unique is that the book of Enoch seemingly prophecies the return of his writings and that people will read them in their own languages, pretty kewl !!
Chapter 104
And now I know this mystery, that sinners will alter and pervert the words of righteousness in many ways, and will speak wicked words, and lie, and practice great deceits, and write books concerning 11 their words. But when they write down truthfully all my words in their languages, and do not change or minish ought from my words but write them all down truthfully -all that I first testified 12 concerning them. Then, I know another mystery, that books will be given to the righteous and the 13 wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom. And to them shall the books be given, and they shall believe in them and rejoice over them, and then shall all the righteous who have learnt therefrom all the paths of uprightness be recompensed.'
