This is DAY THIRTY NINE of the daily devotional.

---

I am releasing a 50 day daily devotional about the end-times as revealed in Scripture. Along with the text, I will be providing a video where I cover the text of the day, and @verbal-d will be providing an audio version of it. That way, whether you want to read, watch, or listen, you'll be able to enjoy this study as you wish.

The plan is to release this devotional over the next 50 consecutive days, but life may "get in the way." We will do our best, but please be patient with me if I fall behind.

DAY 39 - TWO WITNESSES : Part 4

“If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come on thee.” (Revelation 3:3b)

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” (Revelation 16:15)

Two witnesses assure us that Jesus will come “as a thief”, which is the same way in which the “Day of the Lord” is recorded as coming by two other witnesses, as we reviewed yesterday.

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” (Matthew 24:36)

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.” (Mark 13:32)

Two chronologically given witnesses testify that not knowing the “day and hour” does not even come close to necessitating imminency.

“And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.” (Luke 2:25-26)

“Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee… And I will add unto thy days fifteen years…” (2 Kings 20:5-6)

Two witnesses are given to make sure that we understand just because we may not know when something will occur does not mean that we can’t know when it will not occur.

“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” (Mark 13:13)

“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” (Matthew 24:9)

Two witnesses record Jesus saying that right before the “Abomination of Desolation” there will still be people being hated for His name’s sake.

Point #1: Two witnesses testify that Jesus will come as a thief, which is the same manner that the “Day of the Lord” will come.

Point #2: Two witnesses testify that not knowing the “day and hour” does not even come close to necessitating imminency.

Point #3: Two other witnesses testify that if we do not know when something will happen, we may still be able to accurately know when it won’t happen.

Point #4: Two witnesses record Jesus stating the fact that people will be dying for the sole cause of His name right before the “Abomination of Desolation”.

CLOSER

If anyone is really interested, I did post the entire volume through an alt account over a year ago. I did so as an experiment to see how hard it would be for a new user to get noticed on steemit, so I didn't let anyone know that I was doing it. You can click here to a post that has links to the entire 50 days of this devotional if you really want to read ahead. That information has always been available there since I first posted it. It is not the purpose of this series to just copy all of my previous work, but instead to transform it into some new outlets by releasing it in an audio and video format, to broaden the reach that this work has.

Again, though I will certainly never claim to know it all, I do believe that many are being lead astray by some popular beliefs. I hope that this project will be able to help many others understand the end-times more accurately. Thanks!
