Do you believe Enoch and Elijah, who were raptured into heaven, will return to preach near the end of the world? St. Robert Bellamire believed it.

In light of reading scripture in the light of other scripture..i would use cross references from O.T. prophets first to gain more understanding, context and such.

If the ' two witnesses' is what you are referring to


59372b No.261045

We know that in the mouth of two witnesses every cause may be established. I think this has more to do with the disciples going out two by two, Christ himself as the flame, and the Church of believers as the candlestick. And after a time of them ministering, then would the enemy of Christ be allowed to persecute both disciples and Church. I look at this more from a partial preterist view as the beast being the Roman Empire and what they did. Yet after all their persecuting of the early Christians, did the gospel still go out and make believers out of more people thus Christ and followers continuing the work of the Spirit.

It is appointed to every man once to die.

These two have yet to die.

Sounds legit.

Zechariah 4 uses same type of language and imagery and symbolism. I would start here to get a better understanding –

1Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep. 2He asked me, “What do you see?”

I answered, “I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps. 3Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”

4I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”

5He answered, “Do you not know what these are?”

“No, my lord,” I replied.

6So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.

7“What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’ ”

8Then the word of the Lord came to me: 9“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.

10“Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstonea in the hand of Zerubbabel?”

11Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?”

12Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”

13He replied, “Do you not know what these are?”

“No, my lord,” I said.

14So he said, “These are the two who are anointed tob serve the Lord of all the earth.

Should prophecy be believed? I would think it should, but I am Catholic. I am not sure of the Church's position on it.


59372b No.261143

>>261065

What does being of the Catholic faith have to do with prophecy being believed or not ?


e5b31e No.261216

I think that is the most obvious interpretation. Some also suppose Moses and Elijah being the two witnesses (following the Transfiguration), but Enoch would have to die for real at some point anyhow.
