Revelation 11 - The Two Witnesses and the Seventh Trumpet - Dr. Michael Heiser

Revelation 11 is well known for two major items: the two witnesses and the reference to the temple court. Both are controversial. Who are the two witnesses? Are they individual people? Old Testament prophets who did not die (Enoch, Elijah)? Are they symbolic? Does the temple reference in Rev 11:1 mean the temple was still standing when Revelation was written, thereby suggesting the book’s events were fulfilled in or by 70 A.D.? What are the meaning of the numbers John uses (1,260 days, 42 months), and how do those numbers relate to similar or identical language in the book of Daniel? How did Jews of Jesus’s day understand all these items? In this episode of the podcast, we work through Revelation 11 to contextualize the content in light of the Old Testament and Second Temple Judaism. https://nakedbiblepodcast.com #michaelheiser #bookofrevelation #thewatchers #divinecouncil #biblestudy #aseatforjesus #nakedbiblepodcast Revelation Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2K1uOK1nZFBpzro8blWcmaBT7i12pH0Q
