2. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: - It did not rain in any of Hitler's public speeches (I could be wrong)
Unfortunately, the Germans did not get the usual sunny 'Führer weather' which always seemed to accompany big Nazi events, but instead got a cloudy day with occasional rain showers.

Whether it rained or not on Hitler's speeches is totally off the wall UNrelated to the 2 Witnesses withholding rain from a geographic area or a Nation because of the Nation's rebellion against God or for fighting against the 2 Witnesses.
Sheeh what a grope!
Ocham's razor, folks. The simple text = the simple truth. This passage is not that mystifying.
Sigh.

I don't consider myself blind by a long shot.
As to accepting stories as true . . . it would depend on whether the story teller has a reputation in one's life for always telling true stories, or not.
In my life, His reputation is flawless on such scores.

Beyond that, I don't recall you being issued the decoder ring.
I've answered some of those sorts of questions redundantly on ATS.
Suffice it to say that the Bible accurately describes mankind, life, reality, God's nature and ways . . . and my own human heart, willfulness etc.
And I have found that when I do what the Manual says, I get the Manual's results.
Testable . . . it is . . . if folks' heart attitudes are right.

Some have speculated about Moses but I don't think he's in the running.

Was Hitler a true prophet? He said that he would win the war, but did he actually win?
He won in the same way Jesus "won" against the Romans. Time will tell if people will be talking about him 1,000 years from now, following his "teachings," but so far the odds are in favor of it.

Take 100 people. Scholars, average blokes, blue collar, ESL students, English majors etc. who have no Biblical training whatsoever . . . atheists say . . .
The language in the Biblical text is rather plain and clear.
The foolhardy may pontificate at elaborate fanciful length as though they KNOW the meaning to the nth degree. I've never found it so in all my 60+ years.

Why so much anger towards your fellow man?
Too many insults and smug remarks from someone whom
supposedly has a superior knowledge of the bible..
I suppose your version of the bible has nothing about love of your fellow man,
understanding and forgiveness..?
Would you care to show or teach those interested about your personal
'decoding ring'..?
Your sixty plus years shows much of what religion has taught and very little
of what the bible stipulates showing me you have claimed statements
towards others intelligence reflecting your own as a shadow of theirs.
How about opening your heart, have a constructive conversation
and keep the petty insults locked away in your own mirror..?
You still haven't answered questions regarding the verse 11:4 other than to
imply some bible stories are just stories or not to be found out until the time
is upon us...which some verify that time is indeed upon us.
All the answers are in the bible(s) but you must use the eyes for which you
have been given to see!
The ONLY reference in the bible of 'not knowing' is the time, hour and day
our timeline comes about it's end.
Smile with your 'eyes' BO XIAN.. and be well

You believe me now too?
Just kidding!
Last thing I would do is to ask anyone to believe what I'm saying.
Believe me when I say that I try to be most logical and open-minded in the theological context as possible. Anything less is an insult to my readers and it would hurt me if I insulted anyone in such manner.

He's got a good heart, and he means well. I just think he's stayed true to his faith and loyal this long, so he's not going to be very tolerant to any theology that attacks the faith.
I do agree the words that come out of your mouth and how you treat others is very important regardless of race, religion, gender, creed etc.. We all are responsible to treat others fairly and equally

The codex of the bible reveals whom the first Witnesses is but very little
whom the second witnesses is...that is where an education in ancient history
coupled with biblical clues lead to an irrefutable answer - an answer very few
wish to know or understand.

Are you talking about a non-canon scripture?
Who is the original Witness? I'm only aware of Enoch in the Book of Enoch as given the title "witness" by God but to witness in the times preceding the great flood.
If witnesses are made in such way, then it's possible the other witness is one that is born in our times. I don't think witnesses are just prophets, they also serve as God's eyes to critically assess a world, in what it has become, whether it already becomes ripe for judgement.

Enoch and Ezekiel elude to witness two..and most likely WHY Enoch, a man whom
walked with God, had his gospel stricken from the biblical scripture.
Do not mistake the account of Enoch - he does NOT speak of angels/demons
or UFO fokelore - Enoch's story is an end times warning!
To understand this you must start at the beginning in Genesis and reference
the Tower of Babel, their is the true beginning.....
