    Study- Re.11:5-7 (1 of 4)

    Bottomless Pit

    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 be killed.

    These witnesses for the Gospel have been collectively put under two, and it is like the two edged sword carrying salvation and judgment in one. Before the great flood God standardized days of man accordingly. 120 years is a number and ties his worlds of the Spirit and of his body under the gospel, which is one. Enoch for example walked with God and was not. For God took him.(Ge.5:24) On the other hand God gave Noah the ark to His measure since he was counted as a double for the Son, the firstborn of all creation. His days were standardized on the basis of the Gospel. From Abel onwards saints lived to their end, witnessing often as martyrs but all according to the will of God. Thus their lives fitted with two worlds. So Elijah brought fire from heaven as in v.5 and shut heaven as in the times of heaven. Those who held Jeremiah captive and carried him to Egypt and had him killed would themselves be killed.(Je.42:17) The life of Moses is mentioned in the same verse. (v.6)

    6 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 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."(v.7)

    Here we shall first discuss the pit and the bottomless pit. With the expulsion of man from the garden he was condemned to return to the ground from which he was taken. With Abel's murder Cain was condemned to be a vagabond and the outer darkness explained the farthest place, outside His grace. With the pit the man who identified with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ could look to the righteousness of God. Is.51:1
