#soap # Revelation 11 ## Title: Jesus Cares For His Witnesses ## Scripture: (Revelation 11:11–12) But after three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and tremendous fear seized those who were watching them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them: “Come up here!” So the two prophets went up to heaven in a cloud while their enemies stared at them. (NET) ## Observation: Because the book of Revelation has been used by so many in the modern era in an attempt to predict the future, many have never been exposed to what was thought of Revelation in the past. One of the ways the two witnesses in this chapter were interpreted was as a representation of the Old and New Testament. This would be a powerful way to see this passage because it would say that the Word of God would be attacked and appear to be made obsolete. However, God would watch over His Word and bring it back to life in a way that no one could deny. We see this happening over every generation since the time of John. It seems as though, in every generation, there are those who would try to discredit God’s Word and remove it from public discourse. However, God watches over His Word and His Word never returns void. As one famous preacher once said, “God’s Word does not need to be defended. It simply needs to be let loose. It will defend itself.” ## Application: Trust in God’s Word and in the Lord to confirm it. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for Your Word. It always leads us straight to You.
