The two witnesses will be testifying at the temple for 1260 days.
Yes; the second half of the final seven years.
For a different segment of time on the timeline, the 42 months, the nations will have control of the city of Jerusalem trodding it down under the rulership of the beast - and not in the control of the Jews of their city of Jerusalem.
The same period of time as the Anti-Christ has world control.
Paralleled by Zechariah 14:1-2, the prophecy about his conquest of the people in the holy Land.
There is a gap of 1260 days between Zech 14:2 and verse 3.
keras, you have the world exchanging gifts one to another, celebrating the deaths of the two witnesses - the 3 1/2 days right before Jesus descends down to earth in
Revelation 19.
That is correct.
What a shock for them when Jesus Returns and calls the 2 Witnesses up to Him!
That is irrational because the nations of the world at that time will be preparing for the greatest war of all times,
Armageddon is merely a disposal operation for Jesus. An annihilation by the Sword of His Word.
What is irrational, is your insistence on the Jews still living in Jerusalem and their eventual redemption.
Revelation 12:6-17 prove that idea wrong, as it will be Christians who must stay in Jerusalem for that second half of 1260 days.
Those Christians who refused the peace treaty will; be taken to a place of safety, those who violated the Covenant; must remain; Rev 12:14 and 17, respectively.
As Daniel 11:32 plainly tells us.
Because the Jews will need to be informed of what is to come, so that they can flee to the mountains when the abomination of desolation statue image is setup on the temple mount
The Jews fulfilled the prophecy of their fleeing in 66 AD.
The two witnesses will be testifying to the Jews that they have made a terrible mistake in thinking the prince who shall come, the little horn person, is their messiah.
This idea is Douggish nonsense.
The witnesses preach to the ungodly minions of the Anti-Christ.
The Jews are gone from the holy Land at the Sixth Seal.
I do not see that anyone will think the Anti_Christ is the Messiah.
There is no possible way that anyone is going to be exchanging gifts with one another at the very end of the great tribulation, in that environment.
Revelation 11:13 describes an situation quite different than you envisage. Yes: the 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls have happened, but by then; It seems like a fairly normal city, except for when Jesus Returns and causes an earthquake that kills 7000 people.
