Revelation 11:1-8 I

was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” They are “the two olive trees” and “the two lampstands”, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.” If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want. Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack attac k them, and overpower  overpower and and kill them. Their  bodies  bodies will lie  in the public squar e of the great city—whi city—which ch is figuratively called calle d Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified. crucified.

Apostle John was given was given a reed and was was told to measure the Temple of God.

Was this Temple the second Temple built by Zerubbabel and which was expanded upon  by King Herod, or will this be a  third Temple that will yet be built in Jerusalem? This vision of the Temple given to Apostle John was immediately followed  by yet another vision concerning the 2 Witnesses and the coming Antichrist Antichrist who will overpower these these 2 Witnesses and kill kill them. Since there is no doubt that the 2 the 2 Witnesses Witnesses and the Antichrist Antichrist haven’t made their their appearances appearances yet, it it is therefore clear that the vision regarding  the  the Temple must be be a future event. Now some people argue that the Temple which Apostle John was told to measure is not is not literal, and and is only only symbolic of the Church of Christ. However, the prophet Daniel Daniel also had a vision of Temple sacrifices that w ill ill be offered just offered just before before the time of t he he end: Daniel 12: 5-13 Then

I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river rive r and one one on the opposite bank. b ank. One of them said to the man ma n clothed in linen, line n, who was who was above the waters wate rs of the river, “How long will it will  it be before these these astonishing astonishing things are fulfilled?” fu lfilled?”

The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time [or 3 1/12 years]. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, bro ken, all these things will be completed.” be  completed.” “ And  And from the time that the daily sacrifice sacrifice is abolished  and  and the abomination that causes causes desolation is desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 1,29 0 days. “And as for you, go your way till the end. You end.  You will will rest, and then at the th e end of the days you will rise to receive to  receive your allotted al lotted inheritance.” inheritance.”

The prophet Daniel Daniel made it clear clear that there will be 2 important important events, or marker s, s, that will her ald ald “the “the end” during which which time the dead will rise, and and these markers markers are: - the 3 ½ years breaking of the power of the holy people, and - the 1290 days period starting from the abolishing of the daily sacrifice until the setting up of the abomination that that causes desolation.

Daniel chapter 8 gives us more detail more details s regarding this daily daily Temple sacrifice: Daniel 8: 13-14 Then

I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled—the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, the surrender of the sanctuary sanctuary and the trampl the trampling ing underfoot of the Lord’s people?” He said to to me, “It will take tak e 2,300 evenings 2,300 evenings and mornings; mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.” re consecrated.” (NIV) (NIV)

What was the vision concerning the daily sacrifice? It concerns about a rebellion, because of which the coming  Antichrist will be allowed to take away the daily sacrifice sacrifice from the the Lord and to throw down throw down His sanctuary: Daniel 8: 9-12 Out

of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land. It grew until it reached the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth and trampled on them. It set itself up to be as great as the commander of the army of the Lord; it took away the daily sacrifice from the Lord, L ord, and his sanctuary san ctuary was thrown down. Because of rebellion, the Lord ’s ’s people and the dai ly ly sacrifice were gi ven ven over to it. It it.  It prospered in everything everything it did, and truth truth was thrown to the ground.

 According to Daniel 8:14 the “vision concerning the daily sacrifice [and] the rebellion that causes desolation will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; [and] then then the sanctuary will be will be reconsecrated.” In other words, the daily sacrifice in the future third Temple in Jerusalem will last last for only “2 ,300 ,300 evenings evenings and mor nings”, and nings”, and  then “the rebellion rebellion that causes desolation” desolation” will erupt because because of which God will allow allow the Antichr ist ist to throw throw down His sanctuary. sanctuary.  And it is also during this epic moment that the Antichrist will set his throne in God’s Temple, declare himself to be god, and then reconsecrate the the sanctuary to himself!

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4  Concerning

the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled unsettled or alarmed alarmed by the teaching teaching allegedly allegedly from us — whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs occurs and  and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destru destruction. ction. He will oppose oppose and and will exalt himself over o ver everything that is called God or is worshi is  worshiped, ped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming proclaiming himself to be God. God.

Now ask yourself this question: does this description of the daily sacrifice, the sanctuary, and the Temple sound literal to you, or do you still think that they are they are symbolic of the body body of Christian believer s? s? To say that the daily sacrifice that will be surrendered to the  Antichrist pertains to the ones offered by the Christian Church instead of by the Jewish Temple, Temple, is to say to say that the Antichrist Antichrist will be able to stop the Christians Christians from worsh from worshipping ipping God every day day in their spirit. I mean, the Antichrist the Antichrist can put can put Christians Christians to prison en masse,

but he can never imprison their spirit and their desire to worship there will always be a daily daily sacrifice for God God coming the Lord.

So if the Temple vision given to  Apostle John refers to a literal Temple that will yet yet be built in Jerusalem, and not not to the Chur ch ch of Christ, then we should we should be asking the following following questions. When will its construction start? construction start? When will it be completed? completed? And when And when will  will they begin offering offering the daily sacrifice in this this Temple?

So how many “2 Witnesses” will there be? There will actually be 2 sets of 2 Witnesses! The first set of 2 Witnesses will be sent to the nation of Israel, one Witness to the Kingdom of Southern Israel (which is made made up of 10  tribes), while the other Witness will be sent to the Kingdom of Judah (which is made up of 2 tribes). ch of Christ, The second set of 2 Witnesses Witnesses will be sent to the Chur ch one Witness to the the natural descendan descendants ts of Israel, while the the other Witness will be sent sent to the Gentiles.

I believe this special group of 5 “end times” messengers of God were the were the 5 Witnesses o Christ’s transfiguration, when Christ appeared to them in all his glory, a glory that was not seen again even after  Christ’s resurrection resurrection and ascension. It will be the same kind of glory that will be seen second coming g of Christ: again only in the future second comin Matthew 24: 30 Then

The 2 Witnesses who will be sent to the nation of Israel and who will be killed by the Antichrist in the great city “where also their Lord was crucified” will be Moses and Elijah.

Now some people argue that Moses cannot be one of the 2 Witnesses because he already died and according according to Apostle Paul people are appointed appointed to die only once: Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, judgme nt, so Christ was sacrificed once once to take away tthe he sins of sins of many; Hebrews 9: 27-28

In my previous video titled “Cain’s curse & his 7 reincarnations as the Antichrist”, I argued that this statement by Apostle Paul applies to mankind in general, and as such there were several exceptions to  this rule. Such exceptions exceptions were the were the cases cases of dead people people recorded in the Bible who were resurrected resurrected and and who later on died a died a second time, just like Lazarus. Lazarus. Now the 2 Witnesses who will be sent to the Church of Christ will be the Apostles Peter an

one sent to the natural descendants of Israel within the Church. I said this because Peter because Peter was the first the first ever ever disciple of Christ Christ who was sent to preach to the Gentiles, specific specifically ally to that of Cornelius Cornelius and his household: Acts 10: 27-29 While

talking with Cornelius, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people. He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate associ ate with or with or visit a Gentile. But Bu t God has shown me that I should sh ould not call anyone any one impure impure or unclean. So when I was sent for, I came without wit hout raising any objecti any objection. on.

I believe the 5 Witnesses, or the 5 Messengers of Christ, will also also  be the 5 “angels” mentioned “angels” mentioned in the 7th chapter of  Revelation:  Revelation: Revelation 7: 1-4 After

this I saw four angels [Greek: ang'-el-os] standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of   the earth to prevent prevent any wind from blowing on the land or land  or on the sea or  or  on any tree. Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the t he servants of   our God.” Then I heard heard the number number of those those who were sealed: 144,000 sealed: 144,000 from  all the tribes of Israel. Isra el.

The Greek word ang'-el-os could have any of the following meanings: a messenger, an envoy, one who is sent, or an angel rom God. In the case of the 5 Witnesses and as applied to chapter f rom 7 of Revelation, this Greek word is best translated to mean both an envoy and a messenger from God. The four “angels”, or messenge  standing at the four corners corners of the earth, will be the be the 2 sets  envoys, standing of 2 Witnesses. While the “angel “angel coming coming up from the east” east” having the seal of the living living God will be be Apostle Apostle John.

July 4, 2025: Daniel’s 1290 days starts, the daily sacrifice is abolished, & the Abomination that causes desolation esolation is setup Now why will God send Moses and Elijah to prophesy in Israel for 1260 days wearing sackcloth, starting from Tisha B'Av (or August 3),  2025? The reason is because just 30 days before this, or on July 4, 2025, the daily sacrifice sacrifice that will will be of fered fered in the future Third Temple will be abolished abolished by the the Antichrist Antichrist who will also start setting up “the abomination abomination that causes causes desolation” desolation” on the same same day:

Daniel 12: 11  “Fro  “From m

the time that the t he daily daily sacrifice is abolished abolishe d and the abomination that causes causes desolation is desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 1,29 0 days.

Interestingly, July 4, 2025 falls on the 9th of the Hebrew month Tammuz, which is remembered as

the day Jerualem’s walls were breached by King Nebuchadnezzar  and a date also observed as a day of fasting just like Tisha like Tisha B'Av, or or the 9th of the Hebrew Hebrew month of Av. (The fast of Tisha B'Av Tisha B'Av commemorate commemorates s the destruction of of both the First Temple and Second Temple Temple in Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which occurred occurred about 655 years apart, but on the the same same Hebrew calendar calendar date). Note also that the end of Daniel’s 1290 days coincides with the end of the 1260 days prophetic ministry by the 2 Witnesses, and this will be on January 13, 2029. This is because the end of these prophetic prophetic days is when the setting up of “the “the abomination that causes desolation” will also also be completed; completed; and and the Antichrist will be will be using this “abomination” “abomination” to overcome and kill kill the 2 Witnesses.

 

Who are the 2 Witnesses & when will the 3rd Temple be built? by Eulalio Eguia Jr.

The 2 witnesses will be prophesying in protest of the abolishment of the daily Temple sacrifice and the setting up of “the abomination”. And the one who will abolish the daily sacrifices will be the resurrected Cain, whom I believe to be the Antichrist, a topic which I discussed in discussed in detail in my my previous video titled titled “Cain’s cur se se & his 7 reincarnations reincarnations as the Antichrist”. Antichrist”. I also believe that Cain that Cain will be assisted in setting up setting up this “abomination” by his descendants descendants whom I believe to be the residents of the planet Nibiru; and together it will take them 1290 days to complete its construction. One possible reason reason why it will take will take them them this long to finish finish setting up the “abomination” “abomination” will be the disru the disruption ption caused by the the 2 Witnesses who will will do their utmost utmost best best to stall its completion. completion.

 

Who are the 2 Witnesses & when will the 3rd Temple be built? by Eulalio Eguia Jr.

What is this “abomination that causes desolation”? I believe it he Antichrist is the image of t he wild beast  mentioned  mentioned in Revelation: Revelation 13: 15 And

he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as many  as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

The fact that it will take 1290 days to complete this abominable image, must mean that this image will be something very massive and highly complex, possessing both life and artificial intelligence. I also believe that its influence and reach will be global. And for it to be capable of killing the 2 Witnesses of God, and to persecute the saints of the Most High for 3 ½ years no matter where they may be located, then it must also be something unimaginably powerful as well. If any, this structure structure that will be setup by the Antichrist in Jerusalem in Jerusalem will be almost comparable comparable in gr andeur  andeur  as  as the Holy City, New Jerusalem, which God which God will be setting setting up later on in the North North Pole.

 

Who are the 2 Witnesses & when will the 3rd Temple be built? by Eulalio Eguia Jr.

Will this abominable image of the Antichrist be having the same function and capability as the tower of Babel, and will its height also “reach to the heavens”? According to God Himself, anyone capable of building the tower  of  of Babel will have nothing im possible for them to do! Genesis 11: 4-9 Then

they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth. But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, if as one people one people speaking  speaking the same language same language they have begun to do this, then nothi  then nothi ng ng they plan to do w ill ill be impossible for them. them.

That is why it why  it was called was called Babel -because -because there the Lord confused the language l anguage of the whole world.

Will Jerusalem become the great city “Babylon the Great”  prophesied in the Book of Revelation once the Antichrist beast makes it his capital? capital? And also when the the nation of Israel starts worshipping his “abominable “abominable image” image” that that will be setup where where the Temple’s Holy of  Holies  Holies is located? located?

Note that the prophecy divided the 70 weeks into 3 separate periods, namely, the first “7 weeks”, the second “62 weeks”, and finally, the third and final “week” or the “70th week”.

Daniel 9: 27 … and in and in the midst of the week week he shall cause the sacrifice the sacrifice and

the oblation to cease... cease...

Earlier, I said that July 4, 2025 is when the daily Temple sacrifice will  be abolished by the Antichrist. And according to Daniel 9:27, the ceasing of the sacrifice and the oblation will occur in the middle of the 70th week.  In other words, this event will take place at the end of the first half of the 70th week. This also means that the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week will be 3 ½ days before July 4, 2025, i.e., starting from the evening of June 30, 2025. What will happen on happen on June 30, 2025? 2025?

The rebellion that causes desolation is when the people of Israel will  make a covenant with the coming Antichrist and pledge their loyalty to him, believing that he is their long awaited Messiah. The Antichrist will confirm the covenant with many for one week, during Daniel's 70th week, by week, by marking them with his name or the number of his name. And name. And as soon as the Antichrist gets control over the land land of Israel, specifically specifically 3 ½ days later  or  or in the midst of Daniel’s 70th Daniel’s 70th week, the the Antichrist Antichrist will abolish the the daily sacrifice.

 Afterwards, the Antichrist will continue to shock Israel by proclaiming himself “to be God” while sitting sitting on his throne inside the the Temple in Jerusalem. 2 Thessalonians 2: 2: 1-4

Ezekiel 1: 1, 26, & 28 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth

And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. Ezekiel 2: 3 And He He said unto me, Son me, Son of of man, I send thee to the children

The vision of the daily sacrifice that will will last for “2300 evenings evenings and mornings” refer to the to the following law given given to Moses: “This is what you yo u are to offer to offer on the altar regularly regularly each day: two lambs a year ye ar old. Offer one one in the the morning and the other at twilight. Exodus 29: 38-39

The vison on Daniel 8 tells us that there will be exactly “2300 evening and morning” sacrifices that will be offered in the third Temple in Jerusalem before the rebellion that cases desolation will take place on June 30, 2025. Since there will be 2 sacrifices each day, one in the morning and one in the evening or twilight, this means that the fir st st every daily sacrifice sacrifice will be offered exactly exactly (2300/2 or) 1,150 days 1,150 days before June June 30, 30, 2025, and this will will be on May  7, 2022.

Let us take a look again look again at Daniel’s Daniel’s 70 weeks 70 weeks prophecy that that has to do with the rebuilding rebuilding of Jerusalem’s Jerusalem’s walls: Daniel 9: 25 Know

therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to r estore estore and to build bu ild Jerusalem Jerusalem unto the Messiah Messiah the Prince shall be sev en en weeks, and threes threescore core and two weeks: weeks: the street shall be built again, and again,  and the wall, even even in troublous troublous times.

This prophecy mentioned 2 periods of time that have to do with the rebuilding of Jerusalem, its street, and its wall, namely “seven eeks” and “threescore and two (or 62) weeks”. The first period lasting for “seven weeks” was fulfilled by Nehemiah hen he rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem that was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar within seven week  time, or exactly seven week s and 3 days’ time, or 52 days (note days (note that that the prophecy is prophecy is counting counting weeks, and not days, so 52 days are properly properly counted as as seven seven weeks): weeks):  So the  the Nehemiah 6: 15 So

wall was complet c ompleted ed on the twenty-fifth of twenty-fifth of Elul, in

fifty-two days.

This means also that the second period lasting for “sixty two weeks” mentioned in the prophecy applies applies to the time when the walls of Jerusalem that were were destroyed by General General Titus on 70 AD AD will be rebuilt in the futur e. e.

Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman, who was planning to kill all the Jews. This took place in the ancient Persian Empire Empire and the story is recorded recorded in the Biblical Book of Esther. Esther. It is a day of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor. Thus, poor. Thus, it will be during this festive atmosphere that the work of rebuilding the third Temple and the walls of Jerusalem will commence in the near future.
