the Theocracy at first, and, later, the Church and even the Temple of Ezekiel most distinctly presents this typicalism (especially in the features of the mystical stream, Ezekiel 47:1, and the voice of the Lord, Ezekiel 43:7). The Temple has always been a symbol of the visible form under which the Kingdom of God has appeared, i. The first figure that we meet with in this chapter could scarcely be plainer nothing save a lapse into the misapprehensive literal conception could, from this passage, Revelation 11:1-2, draw the conclusion that the Temple in Jerusalem was still standing at the time of these visions. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud and their enemies beheld them.ġ3And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.ġ4The second woe is past and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And they 18 heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And after three days and a half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, 17 and they stood upon their feet and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 10And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, 15 and shall send gifts one to another because these two 11prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 8And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom 9and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner 6 be killed. 4These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing 3 before the God5 4 of the earth. The Ideal Church and the Ideal StateģAnd I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. But the court which is without the temple leave out, 2 and measure it not for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.ī.
