Has He Come

Please pardon all the highlighting. It helps me speak on paper and text. This is the beginning of my reasons why I believe that the Two Witnesses, Moses and Elijah was a MYSTERY and was fulfilled in the MINISTRY of our prophet. There will be no two literal men come in a 3 1/2 symbolic years of tribulation. It would be contrary to God's program and the scriptures of the Bible. There is more to come on this.

REVELATION.CHAPTER. ONE_ JEFF.IN ROJC 9-67 SUNDAY_ 60-1204M
100    And the Book of Revelations has more symbols in it than all the rest of the Books in the Bible. It has more symbols because it is a Book of prophecy. It's a prophetic Book. Therefore it has to be understood by a prophetic class. This Book is not meant for everybody. There's nobody can understand it hardly. This Book is made for a certain class of people. On over in Deuteronomy It says, "The hidden things belong to the--the Lord." That is right. And He reveals to us, His children, the hidden things. So it doesn't go...

REVELATION.BOOK. OF.SYMBOLS_ JEFF.IN V-13 N-6 SUNDAY_ 56-0617
Spoke of in symbols and by animals and so forth, and like great armies and so forth, that marches on, and runs over the walls and so forth, of different, like locusts. And everything was in symbols and parables and straight teachings, and everything come down to those two subjects.

16    The Book of Revelations was the sealing of the last testimony of the Lord Jesus.. And it was given... The first chapter, we'll start at. I was thinking maybe we'd have start over in some of the other symbols. Now, the whole Book is written by symbols. There's hardly anything just direct with the Word, where you just place it right out and say... It's by symbols. And God has a way of doing that and a reason for doing it. God does nothing without He has a reason behind it. And would anybody (this is a class now), would anybody have a thought, the reason He did that? Here it is; so He could hide it from the eyes of the wise and prudent, and would reveal it to babes such as would learn. Isn't He kind, to do us that way?

TWO.VINES.THE_ SHREVEPORT.LA   SUNDAY_ 56-0311A
E-19    Now, in the setting forth of prophecy, we have to notice that God uses many parables, such as many times He said like when Jesus, at the inauguration, all the high places was made low; the mountains skipped like little rams, and the leaves clap their hands: many symbols in the Bible.

LAMB'S.BOOK. OF.LIFE_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 56-0603
Notice, a woman appeared in the sky to the--the vision of John the Revelator, and the--she was clothed with the sun. And the moon was under her feet, and she had twelve stars in her crown. Now, what does that symbol? Visions are symbols.

CHURCH.AND.ITS. CONDITION_ JEFF.IN CH 1-34 SUNDAY_ 56-0805
25 Now, the--in the ark there was a dove. And the dove is represented in many places in the Bible as symbols of the Holy Spirit. And also the lamb is represented in many places in the Bible as Christ, in the Revelation, all the way back to Genesis, and so is the dove.

Now why I believe Moses and Elijah are symbolic in nature and NOT 2 separate MEN over in the calling of the Jews..

I did not include the reference messages these quotes appear in, perhaps later. You can search the message and find them.

There never was in the age, any two major prophets on the earth at one time. There were many minor prophets, but there were one major prophet. And Elijah was the prophet until Elisha came. Then when Elijah was taking off, a portion, double portion, of Elijah's Spirit, Elijah's Spirit came upon Elisha.
See, always remember this, God takes His man off the earth, but never takes His Spirit. His Spirit comes right back down this a way. It come upon Elijah, went off of Elijah onto to Elisha, off of Elisha It come on John the Baptist, off of John the Baptist, and is predicted to come again in the last days, the same Spirit. See? It's God's Spirit.

Now, God always uses a--a prophet, a man. If you use a bunch of man, you get different ideas; see, each man, two man. Never did He have two major prophets on the earth at one time. He takes one, so the other one can take its place for another day, another message. He never has two, He has one at a time.
86 And the infinite God never changes His program, He must always stay with what He started with. That's the reason we can have confidence in what He says, He cannot change. If He saved a man on the basis of his faith in God, the next man will have to be saved the same way.

Just like, He could've chose the sun to preach the Gospel. He could've put--chose the moon. He could chose the--the wind, but He chose man. And He never did choose groups; individuals. See, the... And never two major prophets on the earth at the same time.
See, every man is different. He's got a different makeup. If God can get one person (That's all He has to have.) right in His hand, He can do what He wants to. He just has to have one.

God always deals with one individual. Two men's got two ideas. There never was two major prophets on the earth prophesying the same time. Look back and see if there was. No, sir. Too much scrupled up. He's got to get one man completely surrendered and use that person. He searches for that person, but there will be one sometime, somebody who will listen to Him word by word.

Now, God never did use some man-made program to honor Him, unless just put it to disgrace. God always uses a single individual, just one; never an organization, never a denomination. He uses one single person, because we different, all, one from another. There was never two major prophets on the earth at one time. Never. See, He doesn't do it, because He just speaks to that one. When that one is gone, He raises another to speak at that time. Remember, that's always been His program.

Now, He promised that, so that sets the Bible just exactly to this day, and the Sodom and Gomorrah. And Elijah was not... That wasn't Elijah; That was the Spirit of God on Elijah; Elijah was just a man. Now, we've had Elijahs, and Elijahs' coats, and Elijahs' mantles, and Elijahs' everything. But the Elijah of this day is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is to come according to Matthew the seventeen-.. . Luke 17:30, says the Son of man is to reveal Himself among His people. Not a man, God! But it'll come through a prophet. Now, He never had two major prophets at the same time, never, in the world. See? No matter how much there's... two--two heads can't... It has to be one head. God has to get one man under His control.

Before we close this section on the messenger of the Laodicean Age, we must seriously consider these two thoughts. First, this age will have ONE Prophet-Messenger. Revelation 10:7, says, "When he (singular) shall begin to sound." There has never been an age where God gave His people two major prophets at one time. He gave Enoch (alone); He gave Noah (alone); He gave Moses (he alone had the Word though others prophesied); John the Baptist came ALONE. Now in this last day there is to be a PROPHET (not a prophetess-- though in this age there are more women purporting to give God's revelation than men), and the infallible Word says that he (the prophet) will reveal the mysteries to the end time people, and turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers.

How can God change His program? He would have to change His program if 2 men, Moses and Elijah came on the scene to call out the 144,000. He will not do it for you nor your traditional ideas..
