Revelation 11:1-19: Apocalypse—The Two Witnesses and the Seventh Trumpet

Thy Strong Word from KFUO Radio

Jerusalem and Heaven—John is told to measure the temple, and two witnesses prophesy for 1,260 days before being killed and resurrected. The seventh trumpet sounds, declaring God's kingdom established. In anticipation of God's ultimate victory, how does this inspire us to bear witness boldly in the face of opposition?

The Rev. Mark Loder, pastor of St. James Lutheran Church & School, Howard Lake, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Revelation 11:1-19.

Shrouded in mysterious visions of cosmic battles, plagues, and catastrophic events, the Apocalypse of St. John, or as it’s more commonly known--the Book of Revelation, paints a haunting picture of the end times. Cryptic symbols of beasts, the rise of the Antichrist, and the final judgment unfold with unsettling intensity, revealing the ultimate clash between good and evil. Yet, beneath its terrifying imagery, Revelation is also a deeply personal letter, offering comfort to early Christians facing persecution. It reassures them—and believers today—of God's control over history, His promise of redemption, and the certainty of Christ's victory.
