The two witnesses (11:1-14)

The angel and the little scroll (10) Here is an interlude between the 6th and

7th trumpets. Consider the following as we read 10.1-7:

Where have we seen an interlude before? What might the interlude mean? How would you describe the angel? Who is he?

The angel and the little scroll (10)Consider the following as we read 10.8-11: Why was the scroll both sweet and sour? How does the Christian life reflect both

sweet and sour aspects?

The Two Witnesses (11.1-14)

Consider the following as we read 11.1-14: When does this take place? What is the message of ch. 11? How does

it help assure us of the final victory of God in this world?

Of what significance is “42” in 11.2? (see Daniel 9.24 & 2 Tim 3.1)

The Two Witnesses (11.1-14)

Consider the following as we read 11.1-14: Of which Old Testament characters are we

reminded by the two witnesses? What is their significance?

How do these events encourage John and the churches in the midst of persecution?
