My name is Alan Finch. Jesus became my Lord and Saviour in April of 1976. Many people are going to be greatly disappointed about there being a no Pre-Tribulation Rapture. God's main purpose for the "Two Witnesses" is to deliver a message to the end-time Church which has shockingly fallen away from the truth of sound doctrine to such a degree that God by His GREAT MERCY is not coming back without 1st warning the end-time Church with a MIDNIGHT WAKE-UP CALL. We are warned in the Bible about what would be the true condition of the end-time Church. The "Two Witnesses" will be instrumental in preparing the end-time Church for the return of Christ, the Bridegroom. The Church today in it's present condition is ill-prepared for the return of Christ, the Bridegroom. Many people believe that the “Two End-Time Witnesses” will be Elijah and Enoch, or Elijah and Moses. Enoch, Elijah and Moses in their day fulfilled God’s purposes for them. The 11th Chapter of Revelation does not say that God is going to send “Two Witnesses” from Heaven. Throughout history there have been certain generations in which God has “raised up” certain individuals to carry out a specific task for Him. The same will be true for the generation that we are now living in. It is important to emphasize strongly the term “raised up.” We find throughout Scripture that the Lord “raised up” His Prophets. One very important fact is the fact that there is no place in the Bible that states that the “Two End-Time Witnesses” are sent from Heaven. If that were the case, then it would have been clearly stated in the Bible. Deuteronomy 34:6 tells us that God buried Moses in a Valley in the land of Moab. Revelation 11:8 states that the bodies of the “Two End-Time Prophets” will lie in the street for 3 ½ days. One of these dead bodies cannot be the dead body of Moses. That would mean that Moses will have died twice. That cannot be, because Hebrews 9:27 states that it is appointed unto men once to die. (NOT TWICE) Also, there is a great misconception that Enoch & Elijah did not experience death. However, that is not true. When the Scriptures speak of death, it is in reference to physical death, because Ecclesiastes 3:11 states that the Lord has planted “ETERNITY” in our hearts. Our Spirit is “ETERNAL.” Only our body will experience death, not our Spirit. This very fact is clearly stated in Ecclesiastes 11:7 which declares that at death, our body will return to the Earth, and our Spirit will return to God who gave it. When God took Enoch & Elijah, only their eternal Spirits departed, their physical bodies were left behind and became dead corpse here on Earth. Therefore, coming to this understanding, the bodies of Enoch & Elijah indeed did experience a physical death. The 34th Chapter of Deuteronomy states that God Himself buried the physical body of Moses. Therefore, it becomes evident that after God took Enoch & Elijah, that just as He did with Moses, God also buried the physical bodies of Enoch & Elijah here on Earth at locations not revealed to us. The Lord is not going to transport 2 individuals from several thousand years ago to minister to a generation that they cannot even identify with. The only way that an individual can identify with a generation, is to experience the times of the generation that they grew up in. The Lord will do what HE has always done, which will be to “raise up” 2 individuals from a generation that they were born in, and grew up in, which in this case will be His “Two End-Time Witnesses.” Because of the “enormity” of the task that the Lord will assign to the “Two End-Time Witnesses,” that just like Moses, the Lord will first take them through many years of a Spiritual wilderness experience which will be His method of development and training for them. The two “End-Time Prophets” will not be newly converted Christians. They will be seasoned Prophets who have withstood the test of time. The Bible clearly points out to us that the Lord delights in “raising up” people to fulfill a particular task that He has for them in their generation. Throughout the Bible, God shows us time and time again that He is in the “raising up” business.In Matthew 3:9 JESUS told the Jewish people to not look back to Abraham, that God was able to “raise up” stones to fulfill His purposes. There is zero doubt in my mind that they are alive at this present time of December, 2017. It is quite possible that at this present time of December, 2017 that they do not even know that the Lord has chosen them to be the “Two End-Time Witnesses.” As explained earlier in this article, the “enormity” of the task that the Lord will assign to the “Two End-Time Witnesses” will require that they go through many years of a Spiritual wilderness experience which will be the Lord’s method of development and training for them. It is my belief that at the time that the Lord reveals to them that they are the “Two End-Time Witnesses,” that HE will not immediately thrust them into functioning in their role as the “Two End-Time Witnesses.” It is my belief that the Lord will likely reveal to them their role as the “Two End-Time Witnesses” a few months in advance or maybe even longer, before being thrust into functioning in their role as the “Two End-Time Witnesses.” This unveiling of their assignment from the Lord may be a step by step process of coming to an understanding that they have been chosen for their role as the “Two End-Time Witnesses.” It is my belief that the “Two End-Time Witnesses” will need to know their role a few months in advance or maybe even longer in order to fully come to terms that they have been chosen for such an “enormous” task from the Lord. Also, they will most likely still need further development and training of a different sort from the Lord before stepping into their role as the “Two End-Time Witnesses.” The “Two End-Time Witnesses” will bring forth God’s “message of truth” UNHINDERED in the 1st half of the final 7 years of this present Age. In the 2nd half of the final 7 years of this present Age, the Lord will send strong delusion through the false prophet and antichrist so that those who rejected God’s “message of truth” delivered by the “2 Witnesses” in the 1st half of the final 7 years of this present Age, should believe a lie. The false prophet and antichrist will be able to accomplish their deception UNHINDERED because the “Two End-Time Witnesses” will have been taken out of the way at the end of their assignment in the 1st half of the final 7 years of this present Age. It is very likely that the “Two End-Time Witnesses” will minister independently from one another during their ministry.
