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

 John goes on to say of the two witnesses: "And they have authority over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every sort of plague as often as they wish."  (Revelation  11:6b) In order to persuade Pharaoh to let Israel go free, Je hovah used Moses in striking oppressive Egypt  with plagues, including  the turning of the water into blood. Centuries later, the Philistine enemies of Israel  well remembered Jehovah's acgs against Egypt, causing them to cry:  "Who will save us from the land of this majestic God?  This is the God that was the smiter of Egypt with every sort of slaughter ["plague," Revised Standard Version ] in the wilderness." (1 Samuel 4:8; Psalm 105:29)   Moses portrayed Jesus, who had authority to pronounce God's judgments on the religious leaders of his day.  (Matthew 23:13; 28:18; Acts 3:22)  And during the first world war Christ's brothers, the two witnesses, exposed the death-dealign quality of "the waters" that Chrisendom was serving to her flocks.
