God's Two Witnesses

For three and one-half days their bodies lay,
Unburied, in Zion's streets, mocked and jeered
By Muslims, exchanging gifts, in their way,
While the killer---that False Prophet---was cheered!
God's two witnesses had preached Christ in spite
Of fierce resistance from the ruling pair;
Their mission a success---Jews had seen the light
And would join Jesus, their Lord, in the air!
The two were God-breathed, and they stood erect;
"Come up here!" a loud voice from heaven said;
They rose; an earthquake then did Zion wreck,
Leaving Muslims terrified and in dread!

During the Great Tribulation while Satan's henchmen---the Antichrist and the False Prophet--- rules the world, God will send two "witnesses" (preachers of the gospel) to Jerusalem. Their mission is to evangelize the Jewish citizens of Israel (78% of the population), God having finally lifted the 2700-year-old judgment of spiritual dullness under which they had suffered for so long. Of course, repentance for the wicked dwellers of earth, Islam, will also be offered, but the Bible says they will remain stone-hearted. At this very late hour in the history of the world, the remnant of God's Chosen People will accept Jesus as the Messiah God sent to them, and they will mourn the wounds they had inflicted upon Him. At this time, all religions except Islam will be outlawed, especially Christianity, and many Jews will be martyred by refusing to woship the Antichrist or to take the mark of the False Prophet.

Many believe that the two witnesses will be Moses and Elijah. After many failed attempts to kill them, the False Prophet will succeed. They will be refused burial, which is a deadly insult in the Middle East.

"Now when they [the two witnesses] have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss [the False Prophet] will attack them and overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, ... where their Lord was crucified. For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts because these two prophets had tormented those who live upon the earth." (Revelation 11:7-10) [Brackets added]

When Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked jetliners filled with passengers and crashed them into New York's Twin Towers 9/11/2001, Islamic people all over the earth sent gifts to each other in celebration of the killing of 3000 citizens of the United States, which is called 'The Great Satan' by their religious leaders. When John the apostle wrote these words in 95 A.D., Satan had not yet invented Islam, which happened about 610 A.D. How can anyone doubt the truth of the Bible after reading this prophecy?
