Let's start with the verse memorized during the week that is in Isaiah, chapter 40, verse 8, and says. The grass withers, and the flower fades, but God's word stands forever. Over the centuries, the Bible has been dissected, doubted, and discarded. She was chained in monasteries, torn apart, and burned in public squares. Believers were ridiculed, arrested, and martyred. However, the word of God prevailed.
On Sunday, dealing with the 2 witnesses who represent the Old and New Testaments, we learned that whoever rejects the Old Testament rejects Jesus' guidance. It's that simple! Because Jesus recommended examining the scriptures when there was only the Old Testament.
On Monday, we learned that the two witnesses will prophesy for 1260 days in sackcloth. According to Revelation 11, verse 3. This is the same period of the 42 months during which the Gentiles, who oppose the truth, would trample the Holy City, Revelation 11:2. God's enemies trample divine truth for 1260 days, 42 months, times 30, that's 1260. Each day symbolizes a year, and the two witnesses prophesy against them during this period. Revelation 12:6 speaks of 1260 days of persecution of God's people. Revelation 12:14 speaks of a time, times, and half a time. Revelation 13:5 speaks of the 42 months that are mentioned in Revelation 11:2 and 3, along with the 1260 days. All of these prophecies describe different aspects of the same time period.
On Tuesday, we saw that the bodies of the witnesses, the 2 witnesses, would not be buried for 3 and a half days, Revelation 11:9, that is, 3 and a half literal years. Atheism was at its height in the French Revolution for about 3 and a half years. This period extended from November 26, 1793, when a Paris decree abolished religion, until June 16, 1797, when the French government removed its restrictive religious laws. The Bible was banned, persecuted, and burned. And all of this is in history, for our knowledge, because prophecies never fail.
On Wednesday, we learned about the resurrection of the 2 witnesses, the resurrection of the bible. In unique words, at the end of the French Revolution, whatever Bible was burned in public squares seemed to be resurrected and with great power to reach the whole world. Since France made war on God's Two Witnesses, they have been honored as never before. In 1804, the British and Foreign Bible Society was organized. Similar organizations followed with numerous branches on the European continent. In 1816, the American Bible Society was founded. Interesting that the great Voltaire, famous for his criticism of Christianity, once said. I'm tired of hearing that 12 men established the Christian religion. I will prove that it only takes one man to destroy it. It has been over 200 years since Voltaire died, and Christianity continues. And yesterday, we saw that the great conflict between Christ and Satan will end with Christ completely defeating the powers of hell. The Kingdom of God will triumph, and sin will be eradicated forever from the universe. Revelation 11 begins with Satan's attempt to destroy the Christian faith and eradicate belief in God through the French Revolution. But the chapter ends with the triumph of the Kingdom of God over the principalities and powers of evil. The chapter ends with the Victory of Christ and his servants. The kingdoms of the world become our victorious lord. Evil is defeated. Jesus wins. Satan loses. Justice triumphs, and truth reigns.
I end by saying, "God’s children will have a fierce conflict with the adversary of souls, and it will become more exceedingly bitter as we approach the
