Revelation 11:3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
Commentary talks about this passage as illustrating the difference between being a witness (something you are) and giving a testimony (something you do). Ultimately, we should aim for both.
Revelation 11:4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”
I am a witness to God’s sovereign love. My life is a testimony to His faithfulness. But even as I type the words, I wonder if it’s really true. Do I really live as a witness to God’s love? Does my life truly serve as a testimony to His faithfulness? I woke up today mentally berating myself for yesterday’s shortcomings, so clearly I have work to do.
Revelation 11:5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.
Precious Savior, Thank You for the reminder of who You are and who You are to me. Help me to live a life that openly and insistently sings Your praises. Help me to focus only on You. Amen.
Revelation 11:6 They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
Have a blessed day.
