Armageddon... a Lamb stood on it and with him 144,000! (Rev. 14:1)

Study: "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." Revelation 11:3 Who are the two witnesses? In order to know who they are, all of the clues have to be examined and combined. First Clue: "...my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy ..."  "... these two prophets ..."

Study: "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. ... And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit ." Joel 2:23, 28, 29 "Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain . Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh."
