If the end time is coming and we know it is.Would god try sending another teacher to the ppl or whould he wait for the end of days?
God will send another Divine agent, or "Teacher" as you termed it, but it will then be too late to be taught to one's profit by that Teacher then and there. Imagine a great Prince who, intending to enter and lay claim to an as yet unclaimed territory of His, first sends to the inhabitants of that territory, (our Earth,) a large and comprehensive document, (the Holy Bible,) laying out in plain language the intentions and terms of peace of this Prince. If the local inhabitants were to reject that document they would be, in essence, rejecting this forthcoming Prince, the Lord Jesus Christ, as well. We are not to wait for the second coming of this "Prince of Peace" in order to be taught by Him when His revealed will is staring us in the face in the form of the four gospels and the Apostolic epistles. We had better not delay until the heavens are torn asunder in flames before we will learn of this great and coming Prince.

The book of Revelations talks of two prophets that will come before the Day of the Lord. These prophets will be able to do great thinks but in the end the World will kill them and rejoice at their deaths.

Revelation 11
3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. 6 These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire. 7 When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. 10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.


I think it would be much better for one to accept the Messiah Jesus before these two start their ministery.

Dear GreggHearld, God did send many Prophets, and we killed them, then Jesus came, our Saviour and Teacher. When He comes again, it will be to fetch His Own home.The end times won`t be coming yet, but we don`t know when that will be, but Jesus told us to be watchful and ready. The Day of the Lord will be a great and dreadful Day, we have been taught by Jesus, we have God`s Word, the Bible, what else is there to learn? I say this humbly and kindly, GreggHearld, and send greetings. Love God and love each other, why wait until it is too late? Emmy sister in Christ.

8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days.

Remembering this was not possible until recently, certainly not when it was written.

True. Only with instant global media communications can this prophecy come true.

Isn't it funny that in times past people would scoff at such a prophecy as being imposable and therefore declare the book of Revelation to be flawed...

How ironic.

Gee, there are hundreds of thousands of good teachers out there already. There are hundreds of thousands of people who are seeing visions, and hearing warnings, and hearing from God. He has placed his power and Spirit in each one of us.

If a powerful teacher came along claiming to be IT, I would take a bullet train in the other direction.

If the end time is coming and we know it is.
Matthew 24:32-33
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

Would god try sending another teacher to the ppl or whould he wait for the end of days?
God will not send another Saviour but Jesus!

Romans 10:15
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

I was thinking about the two prophets a few weeks ago, because they came up in a thread, and the next day I saw a documentary on the girl who started painting from visions when she was very young.

I thought, how God-like it would be for Him to send someone like that instead of an internationally-known preacher with a dynamic website and a megachurch!

Akiane: child prodigy, artist, poet.

I'm certainly not trying to name the two prophets... just making a point.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
Praise God!
