REV.11 1And a reed like a measuring rod was given to me (REMEMBER MOSES' ROD OF JUDGMENT) and the Angel stood, saying, “Rise up and measure the Temple of Yahuah (LIVING DWELLINGS) and the Altar (PRAYERS) and those serving in it (BEHAVIOUR). 2But don't include the court that's outside the Temple - don’t even bother measuring that, for it's been given over to the nations, and they'll trample (HATE, DEFILE, DESTROY) the set-apart city (YERUSHALIM) under foot for 42 months (3.5 YEARS).
THE OUTER COURT IS STILL PART OF THE TEMPLE! YET IT DIDN'T MEASURE UP SO THE WORLD HAS TAKEN IT OVER!! ... IF WE DON'T OVERCOME THE SPIRIT OF THE WORLD AND COME CLOSE TO THE ARK, WE WON'T MEASURE UP AND WILL BE JUDGED ALONG WITH THE NATIONS, WHO HATE, MOCK AND DESTROY THE SET-APART CITY OF YERUSHALIM! ...
If our body is the Temple of His Divine Presence, then where is Yerushalim (the set-apart city)?
Whenever you see the words:
TEMPLE - SET-APART CITY - YERUSHALIM
Remember it has nothing to do with Israel, Jerusalem, the Jews or a Temple being built in the middle east !!
YERUSHALIM IS NOW THE FELLOWSHIP OF BELIEVERS, THE SET-APART CITY OF THE TEMPLE, MADE UP OF PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE - LIVELY STONES BROUGHT IN JAGGED, SHARP AND ROUGH FROM THE QUARRIES OF THE WORLD, THEN SMOOTHED AND POLISHED (TESTED & MEASURED) AND FITTED TOGETHER TO FORM A ROYAL CITY (A FELLOWSHIP OF LIKE-MINDED BELIEVERS) ... AND VERY SOON THEY'LL FORM THE NEW DIVINE CITY OF YERUSHALIM THAT'S COMING FROM THE CLOUDS.
JOHN HAS EATEN THE LITTLE OPEN BOOK THAT DANIEL HAD BEGUN WRITING, AND NOW THESE LIVING WORDS OF YAHUAH BECOME THE DIVINE STANDARD OF BEHAVIOUR FOR THE TEMPLE (OUR BODIES). JUST LIKE THE TABERNACLE AND TEMPLE, YAHUSHA’S NEW LIVING DWELLINGS MUST TESTED AND TRIED TO ‘MEASURE UP’, JUDGED BY THE WORD OF YAHUSHA, NOT THEIR OWN MIND AND STANDARD. YAHUSHA HIMSELF IS THE ROD OF FLOGGING AND JUDGMENT, THE ROOT OF JESSE, THE MAN WHOSE NAME IS THE BRANCH, IN WHOM ALL FULLNESS OF ETERNAL DIVINITY DWELLS BODILY. HE IS THE SHEPHERD WITH THE ROD OF DIVINE DISCIPLINE, THE KINGLY ROD, THE SCEPTRE AND THE ROD OF IRON WHO RULES ALL NATIONS. WE HAVE ALL SINNED AND FAILED, BUT THROUGH YAHUSHA’S BLOOD, A CHOSEN FEW WILL RISE THROUGH REBIRTH AND OVERCOMING, TO BE MEASURED, JUDGED AND FOUND WORTHY OF ETERNITY. NONE WILL ENTER THE DIVINE THRONEROOM, OR THE NEW YERUSHALIM WITHOUT FIRST BEING MEASURED & JUDGED!
Does this help explain why you've experienced such pain inside, especially after being immersed?
THE CHOICE IS OURS !!
SCRIPTURE UNDERSTANDING :
ZECH 4:11 THEN I RESPONDED AND SAID TO HIM, “WHAT ARE THESE 2 OLIVE TREES, ONE AT THE RIGHT OF THE LAMPSTAND AND THE OTHER AT ITS LEFT?”... AND YAHUAH ANSWERED SAYING, “DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT THESE ARE?” AND I SAID, “NO, MY MASTER.” AND HE SAID, “THESE ARE THE 2 ANOINTED SONS OF OIL (WITNESSES), WHO STAND BESIDE THE MASTER OF ALL THE EARTH.”
6They have authority to shut up the Heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy. And they have authority over the waters, to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all sorts of plagues, as often as they wish.
WHICH TWO MEN WERE TRUSTED WITH THIS SORT OF POWER IN THE SCRIPTURE?
Moses & Elijah !
3And I will send My two witnesses, and they will prophesy 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth. 4These are the 2 olive trees and the 2 lampstands that are standing before the Master of all the earth. ZECH'S VISION
5And if anyone wishes to harm them, fire comes out from their mouth (JUDGMENT) and consumes their enemies. And if anyone wishes to harm them, they will be killed in the same way.
(THEY ARE PROTECTED UNTIL THEIR MINISTRY IS OVER, JUST AS YAHUSHA WAS … AND US!)
THESE 2 OLIVE TREES ARE GIVING OUT OIL AND FUELING THE LAMPSTANDS, GUIDING THE LIGHT IN THE ASSEMBLY, BUT THEIR MAIN JOB IS TO START DISHING OUT SEVERE JUDGMENT ON THE EARTH.
7And when they have ended their witness, the beast coming up out of the pit of the deep will fight against them, and overcome them, and kill them.
( SIMILAR TO YAHUSHA )
MOSES & ELIJAH APPEARED WITH YAHUSHA ON THE MOUNTAIN AND POSSIBLY ASSISTED HIM THROUGHOUT HIS WHOLE LIFE (2 MESSENGERS ARE MENTIONED CONSTANTLY). AS MEN WHO HAD SEEN AND HEARD HIM THEY WERE QUALIFIED TO BE HIS WITNESSES.
8And their dead bodies will lie in the street of that great city which is known (in the Spirit) as Sodom and Egypt, where our Master YAHUSHA was also staked, 9and some of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations see their dead bodies for 3 and a half days, and don’t allow their dead bodies to be placed into tombs.
10And those dwelling on the earth rejoice over them and celebrated, sending gifts to each other, because these 2 prophets tortured those dwelling on the earth. 11And after the 3 and a half days, a breath of life from YAHUAH entered into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12And they heard a loud voice from the Heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended into the Heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.
13And in that hour there came to be a great earthquake, and a 10th of the city fell. And in the earthquake 7,000 men were killed, and the rest became afraid and gave esteem to YAHUSHA, the Master of the Heaven.
7000 MEN REFUSED TO BOW TO BAAL WITH ELIJAH, NOW 7000 ARE KILLED FOR BOWING TO THE BEAST.
14The 2nd woe is past, and LOOK, the 3rd woe is coming quickly.
THIS VISION BEGINS AND ENDS IN THE TEMPLE OF YAHUSHA'S ARK, AND INVOLVES THE BEHAVIOUR AND WORK OF YAHUSHA'S WITNESSES!

DEUT 30 "I have called the heaven and the earth as WITNESSES against you today: for I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curse. So you will choose life, so that you live, both you and your seed".
DEUT 17 "If such an abomination has been done in Yisharal (MAZZAROTH IDOLATRY) then bring the man or woman (who's done this evil behaviour) out to your gates and stone them to death. At the mouth of two or three witnesses (never just one) they will be put to death. And THE HAND OF THE WITNESSES MUST THROW THE FIRST STONE TO KILL THEM, and then all the people after that. This is how you will purge the evil from your midst".
ROMANS 8 "The Spirit Himself bears WITNESS to our new spirit, that we are children of Yahusha, and if children, also heirs - truely heirs of Yahusha and co-heirs, IF indeed we suffer with Him, in order that we'll also be exalted together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the esteem that is to be revealed in us".
LUKE 15 "For I shall give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries won't be able to argue or resist. And you'll also be betrayed by parents and brothers and relatives and friends. And some of you will be put to death. And you will be hated by all because of My Name. But not a hair of your head will be lost at all. So POSSESS YOUR LIVES by your endurance! And when you see Yerushalim surrounded by armies, then know that its destruction is near".
REV 11 “And they overcame the Dragon because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their WITNESS, and they did not love their lives to the death".
MATT 5 "Let your light shine before men, so that they see your good behaviour and praise your Father, Who is in the Heaven".
THE ORIGINAL TWO WITNESSES OF YAHUAH WERE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH, BUT THEN HE MADE TWO WITNESSES AN OFFICIAL LEGAL PRECEDENT FOR GIVING THE DEATH PENALTY - AND THEY MUST BEGIN THE PROCESS OF PURGING EVIL FROM THE NATION, AND THE REST WILL JOIN THEM … SO TOO YAHUSHA'S TWO WITNESSES WILL BE CARRYING OUT THE FIRST PART OF THE DEATH PENALTY AGAINST A WICKED MANKIND.
It looks like being a witness of Yahusha is all about BEHAVIOUR, which is a light that will get us persecuted and make us seem vile and stupid to everyone around us. It cannot be faked by memorising texts and hurling them at others. Light is something we possess, and it comes from the oil - SOMEONE WE HAVE WITHIN, not something we do.
After our Divine Heart Operation, a witness is WHO WE BECOME because WE'RE FILLED WITH YAHUSHA'S ANOINTING OIL and we've seen and heard Yahusha and are now called to STAND as a LIVING EXAMPLE of His Word in all situations of life, PROVING that He is alive!
While there will indeed be 2 physical witnesses in the near future, we are all wild olive trees grafted into the true vine of Yahusha - called to POSSESS OUR LIVES & OVERCOME THE DRAGON as the lampstands holding Yahusha's Divine Anointing Oil (OLIVES THAT HAVE BEEN SQUEEZED AND HARD-PRESSED TO BECOME FUEL) that shines a powerful light (THAT DISPERSES EVIL) in the darkness of life, and PEOPLE FEEL IT, EVEN BEFORE WE'VE SAID A WORD ... if we're behaving!
We are given the task of purging the evil, wrong behaviours from our homes, for that is where Yahusha starts, then His revolution spreads from there!
YAHUSHA'S WITNESSES ARE PUTING THE 3 RULES TO THEMSELVES :
