12 REVELATION is NOT a Mystery—TEACHER’S GUIDE FUTURE wherever He goes. These have been purchased from among men as first fruits (first fruits of the Tribulation, Christ is the first fruits of the First Resurrection; I CORINTHIANS 15:20) to God and to the Lamb (Christ redeemed them and they have chosen to be the Lamb’s ―bond-servants‖). e. Not defiled with women…kept themselves pure. “Kept themselves pure” refers (mainly) to the faithfulness of the 144,000 to Jesus Christ. They remain spiritually pure, because they faithfully fulfill God’s purpose for their lives. 2. DURING SECOND HALF OF TRIBULATION Remind students that another evangelist (the heavenly herald of the King) was introduced in Scripture before the two witnesses were described back in REVELATION 10:1-6. The heavenly herald is an angel dressed in clouds with a a rainbow cap upon his head. He carries the title deed to earth containing the record of creation, redemption, judgment and full restoration. He places his right hand in the air signifying his recognition of God’s authority. It is extremely difficult to place him on a timeline, but considering the description, he seems to make his announcement before the trumpet judgments begin. At which time he announces ―Time is up!‖ Is he perhaps saying it is time for God’s wrath to begin? Since he also heralds the coming of the King, it cannot be too far away from the 2nd Advent. a. Two unusual evangelists. 1) During the last three and a half years of the Tribulation “The Great Tribulation” God brings Moses and Elijah back to life for a special assignment. Place the Moses and Elijah symbols on the timeline between the idol in the temple and the Armageddon symbols, showing the witnesses evangelize during the second half of the Tribulation: the Great Tribulation. 2) The supernatural quality of these two evangelists is obvious to everyone. They are men who have lived before. They stand out, they are distinct and recognizable. God brings these two men back to evangelize during the second half of the Tribulation. 3) When the 144,000 Jewish witnesses, plus other mature believers, flee to the mountains in the middle of the Tribulation, no evangelists remain in Jerusalem to proclaim the gospel. God sends Moses and Elijah back to fill the vacancy in the office of evangelism. Moses and

At the conclusion of their assignment, God allows Abaddon, the leader of the Demon-Locust-Scorpion army, to murder them. Their bodies remain in plain view on a prominent street in Jerusalem for three days and begin to decay, proving their deaths. The world expresses extreme pleasure over the removal of these “truth proclaimers” (their pleasure confirmsthe world’s opinion of God) with a riotous, unrestrained celebration (the Devil’s Christmas). God restores life to these two witnesses, in plain sight of the entire world by utube or television, and receives them into heaven (REVELATION 11:3-12). Some are saved, but most reject their witness. b. The “High Noon Angel”. Place the ―High Noon Angel‖ symbol at the end of the Tribulation right before the Armageddon symbol on the timeline. God gives humanity another chance. REVELATION 14:6, 7 And I (John) saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having an eternal gospel (the good news that is ageless) to preach to those who live on earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; and he said with a loud voice, “Fear God, and give him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters.” 1) God guarantees everyone an opportunity to be saved. He sends an angel to give the last call loudly, clearly and accurately to all the world’s inhabitants. What could be more convincing to human beings than having an angel from heaven proclaim the gospel at exactly twelve o’clock noon? In every location as the world turns on its axis, people will see and hear an angel proclaiming what Jesus Christ has done for them. What does this heavenly evangelist tell us about God? 2) The “High Noon Angel” seriously emphasizes (ONE MORE TIME) God’s love and grace. It is close to the end of time during which men have hated God, rebelled against His messengers, crucified His loving Son, turned down His offer of salvation and still, God gives one last grace call for men to turn to Him. GOD HAS DONE EVERYTHING TO GIVE ALL MEN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO BE SAVED.
