REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Five - The Two Witnesses

 What of Elijah? In the days of the kings of Israel, this prophet  proclaimed a drought as an expression of Jehovah's indignation on the Baal worshiping Israelites. It lasted three  and  half years. (1 Kings 17:1; 18:41-45; Luke 4:25; James 5:17)  Later, when unfaithful King Ahaziah sent soldiers to force Elijah to come into his royal presence, the prophet called down fire from heaven to consume soldiers. Only when a military commander showed proper respect for his positio as a prophet  did Elijah consent to accompany him to the king. (2 Kings 1:5-16)  Likewise, between 19014 and 1918, the anointed remnant boldly drew attention ti the spiritual drought in Christendom and warned of fiery  judgment at "the coming of  the great and fear inspiring day of Jehoah." - MALACHI4:1, 5; AMOS 8:11.
