Series: Revelation: Following Our Victorious King

Two Witnesses and a Woe

June 16, 2024 | Zach Schlegel
Passage: Revelation 11:1-19

Jim Elliot and four other fellow missionaries lost their lives taking the gospel to the Auca Indians in Ecuador. He left behind a wife and ten-month old daughter. Many people assumed that his death was a tragic waste. It seemed like a foolish, unnecessary risk taking the gospel to these savage people which then led to his death.


What if your child or grandchild die a violent death while taking the gospel to an unreached people group? If obedience to the Bible or sharing the message of the good news of God’s word leads to people rolling their eyes and mocking us or to the loss of friendship or a job, should we keep pressing into the scriptures? History has examples of people who used to believe the Bible or used to attend church but have walked away because of persecution for their testimony. What will keep us faithful?


After the first six seals it is asked, “Who can stand before God in the judgment?” The answer - those who are sealed. Now when looking at the seven trumpets, it is asked, “What should we do?” The answer - Witness.
