This was the dream; Jesus replied, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said which of these do you stone Me you are gods’? now we will tell the king its interpretation and to me this mystery has been revealed, not because I have more wisdom than any man alive, but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the king, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind. We are not stoning You for any good work,” said the Jews, Jesus responded for blasphemy, because You, who are a man, declare Yourself to be God as you, O king, were watching, a great statue appeared. A great and dazzling statue stood before you, and its form was awesome. The head of the statue was pure gold, its chest and arms were silver, its belly and thighs were bronze, its legs were iron, and its feet were part iron and part clay. As you watched, a stone was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and crushed them. Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were shattered and became like chaff on the threshing floor in summer. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that had struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
Exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months. And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” “The two will become one flesh for it was not Adam who was deceived, however, don’t you know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control. Consequently the authorities that exist have been appointed by God for it is said, These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified for three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb and those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them, and will celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them and after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them and the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here and they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them and in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand were killed in the quake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming shortly. Women, everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, so whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves for there is no authority except that which is from God.
