Hi Nick, yes all hell will break loose soon for 3 1/2 years. Then Jesus will return for his people.

But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.”  But these people blaspheme all t…[Read more]

Hi Georg,When it comes closer to the end all people would have had a chance to hear the word. Even now in places where teaching Christianity is forbidden, they have dreams and vision of Jesus. The rest of the world has Jehovah witnesses (ha) and other means.So what your speaking of happening in the future is happening now. Jesus went down to the…[Read more]

Acts 1:6..”But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

I think the 2 witnesses could be anyone, you or I or anyone anywhere from the days of Jesus till now, martyrs, Jew or Gentile being the two. I just thought of that now.
