The Baptist returned in "the spirit" of Elijah! Will that be the case for those two prophets as well?! Thereby adding credence to them already alive and here. Being abreast of more recent history! TR Obviously they appeared to increase Christ’s validity! Were they also getting last minute instructions for their future appearance? So why did it really happen? If Christ wanted us to know their identity then it would have easily been stated in the Word! Their commission was made secure the day of the transfiguration! I have no doubt. Details, details! Just a curiosity to see how it all plays out! TR Yes! I agree. I hope when we’re in eternity we will learn these things that are hidden from us now. I, like all of you, have soooo many questions. I have no doubt that we will be constantly learning. The depths of the knowledge of God is endless. The case of two witnesses and their timing is an injunction against Israel in particular. As well as an indictment against all those that had refused Christ! Their role and importance in their previous life can only be overshadowed by their end of days ministry! As such we can only remain to be mindful of them! TR
That would be a very long ‘last minute’ 😉
To fulfill Mat 16:28 Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."
