The Two Witnesses and the Church and State That Hate Them

Continuing to work through Revelation 11, we hear more of John's dream like vision. In it he sees two witness-witnesses and heralds of God's truth and those who hate them, persecute and ultimately kill them...but not forever. God's kingdom is furthered because His witnesses, while hated, tormented and murdered, will always rise again and glory will be given to the God of heaven. Using the classic detective questions (who, what, when, where and why) we worked through this text to determine who these witnesses are, what their message is, who it is that hates them and tries to silence them, when they witness and why).
