Revelation Pt 26 "Measured and Sent"

What happens when God's faithful witnesses are silenced? Revelation 11 gives us one of Scripture's most dramatic pictures of the church's mission in a hostile world. In this verse-by-verse study, we walk through the story of the two witnesses—mysterious prophets clothed in sackcloth, empowered with Moses-like and Elijah-like signs, who proclaim God's truth for 1,260 days before being killed by the beast and left exposed in the streets while the whole world throws a party. But their story doesn't end there. After three and a half days, God breathes life back into them, calls them to heaven in full view of their enemies, and shakes the earth with an earthquake that leaves no room for doubt.

We explore what it means that God "measures" His people, why the witnesses wear sackcloth, how the beast conquers yet loses, and why the world celebrates their death with gift-giving like a twisted Christmas. Whether you see the two witnesses as literal end-time prophets or a symbol of the church's enduring testimony, the message is the same: God protects what matters most, He sets the boundaries on suffering, and He always has the last word. If you've ever wondered whether your faithfulness matters in a world that mocks the gospel, this study will anchor your hope in the God who resurrects His witnesses.
