Daily Walk Through the New Testament
March 16
Read Revelation 10:5-11:14

It is the responsibility of a witness to confirm the details of a matter. Maybe you witnessed a baseball going over the fence, or you saw one car swipe another in a parking garage. Whatever the case, witnesses verify the truth.
It is difficult to identify the 2 witnesses in Revelation 11 with certainty. Our thoughts turn to Elijah and Moses with the mention of drought (1 Kings 17:1) and water turning into blood (Exodus 7:19). Furthermore, this seems possible because Jesus conversed with Moses and Elijah at the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17:3). Moses represents God’s Law and Elijah represents God’s Prophets. Together they witness to the greatest need in the world: humanity is hopeless without Christ Luke 24:27).
Armed with the gospel, the church is called to be God’s witness as well. Witnesses tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. They do not add to the story, and they do not subtract from the story. Pray that God would make us His witnesses, both in life and in death!
