The Historical Two Witnesses (Rev 11:1-14)

Eschatological Precedents from the Historic-al/-ist Fulfilment of Rev 11

The present blog post is for a commentary|exposition on the interpretation and


fulfillment of the Two Witnesses prophecy of Rev 11 from the Biblically valid
Historical/Historicist perspective. There are many (much more than less) good/valid such
expositions out there, -mainly presented by SDA evangelists/expositors such as the following:

As usual with prophetic presentations in this blog, the purpose here is not to reinvent the
wheel, but rather to fix any key errors in those other presentations and/or upgrade them to
provide more accurate exegesis, interpretations/understandings and applications. As the very first
message of this ministry to be widely published, back in June 2000, was the present day
Eschatological Age fulfillment of the Two Witnesses of Rev 11. Back then, an exposition on the
historical fulfillment was virtually entirely not discussed, with just the similar eschatological
application, but now with different main players (i.e. the SDA Church replacing the prior Roman
Catholic Church to be judged (Rev 11:1) having been changed. However, as the Historical
fulfillment of this prophecy (i.e. from 538 A.D. to 1798) provided an important background and
template to properly understand the eschatological fulfillment. This is now being presented in
this post.
Again not every element of the Historical prophecy will be re-expounded on in detail
here, -but only when they need when they need to be bettered, so do see the above cited
presentation/exposition references for such expounding, and these betterments will serve to better
grasp the pivotal part of this prophecy, pointedly the 3.5 days (=3.5 years) of Rev 11:9, which
main SDA expositors themselves contend, more than less acceptably so, -i.e. for merely a
Historicist Wave of fulfillment application, that it transpired roundly between ca. Nov. 24/26,
1793 and June 17, 1797 (=1260+39/41=1299/1301 days) during the French Revolution...And
along with this better key understanding are the other two major time portions of: the 42 months
(Rev 11:2) and the 1260 days (Rev 11:3); plus the seemingly non-substantive, but contextually

1
sequitur/related, hour of Rev 11:13. It will be shown & seen that these portions, along with
the entire prophetic statements from Rev 11:1-8a, have a dual application within just the
Historical wave of fulfilment of the prophecy. The First Application of that Historical Wave was
fulfilled in Church History and the Second Application had a most emblematic special
application within the time of the French Revolution itself. So with that background, here is a
Biblically and Spiritually upgraded understanding of the Prophecy of the Two Witnesses:

Rev 11:1 - Then a reed similar to one of a measuring rod was given to me, causing to be said:
Raise up yourself, and measure the Sanctuary of God; that is both the altar and the ones who
worship in it.

measuring rod - Just as the finally married (Rev 19:6-9) glorious bride/wife of the Lamb, the
New Jerusalem which was designed and built up by God (Rev 21:9-11; cf. Heb 11:10), was
allowed to be measured by man (Rev 21:15-17), God instructs that His Sanctuary be also
measure (=evaluated/judged). This is based on the Old Testament vision of Ezek 40-48 where in
a city-like structure (Ezek 40:2) Gods new plans for His Temple (Ezek 40:5-42:20), His
Temple Altar (Ezek 43:13-17), the Temple Officers, Functions and Services (Ezek 43:18-
46:24) and also the rest of the land of Israel when His People live (Ezek 47:13-48:35) are all
stated in measured and specified dimensions and requirements. This was Gods Plan and
Expectation as to what His Religion and People should measure up to following their full
restoration from their Babylonian Captivity.

the Sanctuary of God - Being the Greek word naos (Strongs #3485) here, this therefore more
narrowly focused than merely the entire temple edifice (Gk. hieros; -Strongs #2413), but
pointedly the sanctuary portion of that complex. This corresponds to the measure Temple portion
of the Ezekiel Vision (Ezek 40:5-42:20), though more narrowly.

the altar = As discussed in the eschatological post here, the altar symbolically represents the
priestly ministry. This corresponds to the measured Temple Altar of the Ezekiel Vision.
(Ezek 43:13-17)

those who worship in it - This seems straightforward as to who is to be measured/judged here.


Back in the days of the OT temple those who worship (directly) in the temple were essentially
only those who were part of the priesthood [as well as prominent/noble men/males]. In the New
Covenants era of the priesthood of all believers, this group naturally extended to all believers.
However for a extended segment of Church History, the priesthood status and capability was
taken away from the laity, so in that sense the would be guiltless when compared with their
effectively tyrannical priests. So effectively the laity was not allowed to enter in the Sanctuary
portion of Gods Temple (contra. Heb 4:16), much like back in Old Covenant days. Therefore
this section come to pointedly merely focuses on the similar Temple Officers, Princes, and
Functions and Services as in Ezekiels vision (Ezek 43:18-46:24)

2
Rev 11:2 - And in regards to the court (sheepfold) which is outside of the sanctuary: Cast it
out! and do not evaluate/judge it because it was given to the Gentiles and they will trample the
Holy City for 42 months.

the court outside the temple - That outer court is also rendered as sheepfold (John 10:16),
and indeed in OT days, this was the area in the Temple grounds where the sheep for the Temple
Service were kept. If those who worshiped, i.e. the believers, were to be inside of the
Sanctuary, then that outer court/sheepfold would be filled with non-believers, indeed the
Gentiles. But as these were in the sheepfold location where Jesus had said he would gather
them (John 10:16), then it can be understood that the Gentiles/Nations, while being around the
Sanctuary, are not really genuine, -in regards to self-convinced, but rather forced believers. Jesus
had said that He would gather His sheep to His sheepfold merely by calling out to them (John
10:3-5; 16, 26-29), so manifestly those in this court who God deemed should not be subjected to
judgement had been forcefully corralled there.

they will trample - The imagery of a Holy City being trampled under foot by Gentiles is based
on the time when God decreed in judgement that the Apostate Jerusalem should be overrun by
Gentiles. (Luke 21:24) This dual-purposely was so that the Gospel could go throughout the
Gentile world, and then would come the time for God to reestablish His Holy City Institution in
the New Jerusalem (Rev 21:9-11). The cornerstone would be Gods Sanctuary and Temple in the
midst of the city, = His Church = His Bride/Wife. So the New Jerusalem would be the expanding
of this Bride/Wife Spiritual Center.
Mind you that this trampling by these corralled Gentiles here would not necessarily
be a spiteful and malevolent act, but rather a natural act. The most pivotal element which
undermined the Historical Christian Church was the always forbidden throughout the History of
Gods Israel: unequal yoking of believers with unbelievers, even half-baked believers or also
people who had come to faith merely to save their skin, (as found in the resulting mixed
multitude who escaped the plagued Egypt (Exod 12:38; Num 11:4)), as were these hordes of
pagan converts who naturally saw it better to go along with the ruling and militarily
empowered Medieval Church, rather than be tortured and/or killed.
But this compromising by the Catholic Church was done merely to boost their numbers
and expand the realm of their rule. And as this policies was inherently merely, vainly/pridefully
(cf. 1 Chr 21:18ff) purely: quantity over quality the Church actually found itself lowering its
standards and diluting its truth win all kinds of paganistic compromises. All sorts of
unBiblical/heretical teachings and practices were borne leading to the institutionalized, full-
blown, prophesied apostasy of the Church. (Acts 20:28-30; 1 Tim 4:1ff)

for 42 months - In the prophecy of the First Beast of Rev 13, a matching time of 42 months is
set out in which this Satan-authorized (Rom 13:2b) Beast, the Catholics Holy/Papal Roman
Empire would make arrogant and blasphemous words against God (Rev 13:5-6; =Dan 8:9-12),
and also wage war against Gods Righteous/Biblical/Faithful People (Rev 13:7; =Dan 7:25;

3
12:7b). But hear in Rev 11:2; it is rather the Church which is being overrun by the
Gentiles/Nations. That is all from the subversive element that was inherently present in the
pagan-compromising policies that the Church was going by in regards to those Gentiles. Like
termites, they were, during those 42 months (=1260 literal years) instead slowly, but surely,
eating away at the validity, respectability and worthwhileness of the Church, until, even long
before 1798, people began to see the core rottenness of the Catholic Church and dissidents,
Reformers and culminatingly entire nations rose up against it to take it down from its prior
world-ruling/overruling (cf. Rev 17:18) position.
So while the Church was engaging for those 42 months in seeking to take the place of
(=Anti-) God/Christ and Biblical Truth and putting to death all of the testifying for Truth by
Gods faithful followers (cf. Rev 12:13, 11), the prophecy here shows that the flip side of this
42 month period was a time permitted by God to ultimately bring down, from the inside, this
Dragon-led AntiChrist Power.

Rev 11:3 - And I will [keep on] giving to my two witnesses and they will prophesy for 1260
days, having clothed themselves in sackcloths.

[keep on] giving... - If these Two Witnesses are going to prophesy for 1260, either God will have
at one time given them all that they would need to sustain that, moreover repentance-calling,
prophesying for all of that time, or He will periodically give them new light at the proper time to
sustain this prophetic repentance calling ministry.

Two Witnesses - The understanding of the later allusions in Rev 11:5-6 make it clear that these
Two Witnesses are given the power/Spirit of mainly the prophets Moses and Elijah. Being
martyrs, -as literally is the Greek word translated as Witnesses, they show that the Testimony
borne by the work of Moses and Elijah is being persecuted and put to death by this Apostate
Church/Power.
The work of Moses was essentially in setting the prophetic Theocratic, Biblical
Supreme Law & Constitutional foundation and framework for the establishment of Gods
People as a State entity, -all to serve as a shining National witness about God to the other
Kingdoms/Peoples in the rest of the World. (Cf. Deut 4:5-8) Duly enough, the seat of Moses
eventually became the throne of Kings in Israel, but still those kings were to be subject and
obedient to the Law of God as recorded in the Book of the Law of Moses. (Deut 17:18-20).
Indeed this Book of the Law was to serve as a witness against Gods Israel if they would rebel
against it (Deut 31:26)...and rebelling against the expressed Will and Word of God would result
in, as it had happened to Egypt, all sorts plagues being poured out in judgement against the
disobedient. (Deut 28:15-68)
So the Witness of Moses, was in regards to national/ruling/kingly matters. Moses was
the Law part of Gods provided Two Witnesses.

The work of Elijah was essentially on of religious reform in order to try to bring
Gods People back to obedience & adherence to the Will and Word of God. Elijah was,

4
represented the Church/Ecclesiastical Witness to Gods professing (but greatly apostasied)
people. Quite telling that in the time of Christ, as Israel/Judah by then, -on that side of the
Babylonian Captivity judgement for having failed to observe the Law (2 Chr 36:20-21), only an
Elijah Witness had to be sent (Matt 17:10-13; background: Matt 17:1-9) as the Law of Moses
was then being staunchly observed, but legalistically so, meaning that the Righteousness Spirit of
the law was being violated. (Matt 5:17-20). Indeed even in Elijahs most signal act of no rainfall
on Israels land, he was pointedly appealing to a judgement provision stipulated in the Law of
Moses (i.e. 1 Kgs 17:1 = Deut 11:16-17) and even Kings understood (or were to understand)
this pending judgement for a wayward Israel. (1 Kgs 8:35-36|2 Chr 6:26-27)
So the Witness of Elijah is in regards to Religious reforms, calling back to the proper,
(including in regards to Righteousness), observance of Gods Law.

The Moses Witness represented the Law, and the Elijah Witness represented the
Prophets, and this Law and the Prophets Testimony (Matt 22:40; Luke 16:16, 31) is what is
represented by the Bible, in the writings of both its Old and New Testaments.

clothed themselves in sackcloths - This is the garb of mourning, for a call to repentance due to
something vital having been allowed to die.
The Bible shows that such a Moses and Elijah call to repentance had been prophesied at
the end of the Old Testament in Mal 4:4-6....with the warning of a curse if this reformation is not
accomplished.

1260 days - Just as it was the case with the 42 months period cited in Rev 11:3, the 1260 days
mentioned here also have another occurrence in the prophecies of Revelation (in Rev 12:6), and
beyond the mere chronology of also 1260 years this helps to contextualize what its present
application thematically involves. Rev 12:6 draws elements from the OT episode of Elijahs
God-instructed withdrawal to the Judean wilderness where he was cared for by God, through
(unclean) birds, during the (early) days of his drought judgement. (1 Kgs 17:2-7)

Meanings in the Time Periods - So this 1260 day period is clearly in relation to the
work of Elijah, hence it pointedly corresponds to the Elijah Witness of the Two here...and it
therefore can be seen that the 42 months would apply to the Moses Witness. As it was seen
above at Rev 11:2 that the 42 months here was: Gods way of subtely, avengingly, subverting
the Political Authority & Military Power that the First Beast of Rev 13:1-10 was wielding against
non-Believers/Gentiles, and also His faithful people, it can be stated that this period of 1260
days, here couched in calls to repentance, represent a Religious/Ecclesiastical aspect of the work
that is to be done during this 1260-year period of Papal Supremacy.
So in summary, the 42 months apply to the Moses Witnesss Political/Kingly Judgement
Work; while the 1260 days apply to the Elijahs Witnesss Religious/Church Judgement Work.

Historical Fulfilment of the 1260 days - God said He would keep on giving to His
Two Witnesses during their period of repentance ministry, and they thus would keep on
prophesying (i.e. fore- and forth- speaking for God), and this is indeed what was seen in Church

5
History with the repeated rising up of various Church Reforming leaders and groups (cf. here).
From, e.g. Peter Waldo and the Waldenses (ministering [=m.] during 1173-1205 A.D) to John
Wycliffe (m.1374-1384) to Jan Hus (m.1402-1415) William Tyndale (m.1521-1536) to
Martin Luther (m.1516-1546), Jean Calvin (m. 1536-1564), John Knox (m.1546-1572) and
(later) John Wesley (m.1738-1791) (cf. GC 61-264); each would rise up and proclaim the
reforming light that they had come to see in Gods Word (cf. Psa 119:105), and when their
testimony was completed, another Reformer would rise up to take up and carry forward that torch
(cf. Pro 4:18). Based on the Testimony of Scripture, these Reformers would rebuke the ruling
Political and Ecclesiastical Power of their day, namely the Church-State-joint: Papal/Holy
Roman Empire and Roman Catholic Church.

Rev 11:4 - These are the two olive trees and two lampstands, the ones standing established
before the Lord of the Earth.

The background/basis of this verse is clearly the prophecy and interpretation/application


of Zech 4. In that OT passage, God is working through Zerubbabel to reestablish His adjuged
Israel, pointedly now His still downtrodden Sanctuary/Temple, following their return from their
Babylonian Captivity Judgement. In this message given through the prophet Zechariah, God
reveals the framework by which He, by His Spirit and His starting and finishing hand (Zech
4:6-8), intends to accomplish this seemingly unachievable task.

olive trees - In Zech 4:11-14, Zechariah is insistent on finding out what the meaning of the two
Olive Tree is, evidently not satisfied by the diverging answer to his prior inquiry in Zech 4:4-6ff.
The answer in Zech 4:14 reveals that the Olive Trees themselves represent the sons of fresh
oil, i.e. recently anointed ones who are standing by the Lord of the whole Earth. Clearly the
very same language, thus notion, as involved here in Rev 11:4. The two olive trees were naturally
there to supply the, there one, lampstand, So their work in Zech 4 was jointly towards keeping
the light of that lampstand shining.
As it can been understood from the symbol of a tree in general, they serve a various vital
providers from building materials, to energy, to foods and even beautifying decoration. And by
having a tree here as the provider for the lampstands oil supply, that easily assures a self-
renewably unending supply of olive oil.

(two) lampstands - Lampstands of course are used for providing light, or more specifically here,
supporting a torch lamp which itself provides that light. This is the same two-part set up as the
(golden) lampstands in Zech 4:2, 10.
As in Rev 5:6 in regards to the establishment of the Little Lamb Kingdom, the
lampstands in Zech 4:2, 10 also represent Gods disbursed 7 Spirits. The same symbolism is
involved in the promised: Zionistic, seven-eyed (=Rev 1:4; 5:6b), sin-pardoning (Isa 53:2),
saving (corner-)stone (1 Pet 2:4-9), (Davidic -Jer 23:5, 33:15) Branch Servant (Isa 4:2; 11:1-;
Zech 6:12-13) of God. (Zech 3:8-10)

6
olive trees & lampstands - So the Olive Trees are to supply the torch lamps with its
energizing oil; and the lampstands are to hold up these shining torch lamps to help them
provide their widest enlightening. (=Matt 5:14-16)
The background of Zech 4:14 the Olive Trees represent the Anointed Ones of God, and
here in Rev 11:4, this can be seen to be speaking of Gods Two Anointed Witnesses, namely His
Moses and Elijah Prophets. Plus the key appearance of Moses and Elijah at the Transfiguration
of Christ (Matt 17:1-8ff) show that they indeed (=Mall 4:4-6) still have a pivotal and
complimentary contribution to make into bringing about Gods redemptive plans to their full end.

the two....the two - Unlike the joint work of the Olive Trees in Zech 4 towards a single
lampstand, here in Rev 11:4, it is clear that there are two lampstands and each have their own oil-
supplying olive tree. So it can be interpretively understood that the both the Moses and Elijah
Witness will be doing distinct outshining work. Whereas in OT Israel the Church (=Elijah) and
State (=Moses) was joined and was to provide a joint Witness, manifest in the days of Church
History, this Light is to remain separate. Yet each is to provide Gods Lighting. Clearly this is to
be by each tapping into its own oil source, which of course is Gods Spirit, and as God also went
on to emphasize: not by might, nor power (Zech 4:6; i.e. forced worship) but by a Holy
Influence. Indeed the fact that OT Israel many times fell into apostasy was because God then was
also not forcing people to obey and worship Him. They were free to faithfully following His
Laws or not, but of course not without the naturally occurring consequence.

the ones standing established before the Lord of the Earth - So despite the small, weak and
meek appearances of borne by Gods Two Witnesses here, they, and the work that they are doing,
in the face of all of the upheavals and oppositions both around and towards them, they are the
ones which God considers as His True movement and True Representatives.

Rev 11:5 - And if anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours
their enemies, that is if anyone might desire to harm them, it is necessary that in the same
manner he be put to death.

fire proceeds out of their mouth... - This statement combines the fiery words (Jer 5:14) of the
(greatly persecuted (Jer 20:7-18)) prophet Jeremiah predicting the judgement destruction of
Gods Apostate city of Jerusalem with the tangible fire that Elijah called down on the military
contingents who were seeking to bring detriment to him. (2 Kgs 1:9-15)

it is necessary = Greek dei = it is in Gods plan

God Avenges His Elect - Indeed, while the Church Reformers would boldly proclaim the
Truths of the Word of God to the Apostate Roman Catholic Church-State, and while they would
even denounce the Papacy as the seat of the Anti-Christ and its Catholic Church as Harlot
Babylon, they were not known to engage in pronouncing judgements on these Apostates. Rather
they just fearlessly stated what the Biblical Truths were. Of course they were nonetheless greatly

7
persecuted for this Truth-stating testimony, but, as was the prophetic indication here, it was in
Gods (prophetic) plan that their persecutors would ultimately suffer defeat and death (=Rev
6:9-11)...and for the similar reasons as they were charging Gods Reformers with (=Rev 13:9-
10), namely in people (e.g. the Muslim Armies (=Rev 9:1-12) and then the French
Revolutionaries, rising up to variously tangibly rejecting and condemn them as not being Gods
Followers/People. (=Rev 9:4)
So while the Reformers themselves did not engage in pronouncing Judgements on their
persecutors, God was still working out such destructive plans. Indeed the Words of Truth that the
Reformers were speaking forth against Anti-Christ and Babylon themselves also involved
such decreed/planned judgements. (E.g. 2 Thess 2:8; Rev 13:9-10; 18:4-10ff; 19:19-21).

Rev 11:6 - These have the authority to shut up heaven so that rain may not fall during the days
of their prophesy. They also have authority over the waters in order to turn them into blood
and (also) to smite the earth with every plague as often as/if they may desire.

The evident identities from the clear allusions was discussed above at Rev 11:3. Clearly
this is the work of (1) Elijah and (2) Moses a plague - mal 3:5

rain may not fall - Even in the earlier discussed (at Rev 11:3) Elijah Judgement of shutting up
the heavens, the foundation of that judgement is in order to specifically prevent the latter rain
from falling on Israels planted crops (Deut 11:13-17). Therefore they would not be able to bring
about a full harvest when the time came. This same function of the Latter Rain was Spiritually
understood to the work of Gods Church/Followers. (E.g. Acts 2:17-21) as it was understood that
God would Bless the work of His faithful People and Spiritually assist in order to bring about a
full harvest. Converse, if Gods people had not be faithful, their work would not be bless, and
thus fail....with a famine for hearing the word of God (Amos 8:11-12) being produced through
this dearth of Spiritual refreshing inspiration from God. (Acts 3:19; 2:38)

turn waters into blood - If in the midst of no rainfall, the bodies of water on the ground also
become useless by having been turned into blood (=Exod 7:19-20), then this indeed greatly and
perilously complicates that matter here. This is the patent judgement affectation in Revelations
Second Series (=Rev 8:8-9; 16:3) all resulting in taking away (false) peace from the Earth
(=Rev 6:3-4).

smite Earth with every plague as often as... - Clearly much and unlimited authority is granted
to Gods Two Witnesses here, with the basis provision at the end of Mal 4:4-6 manifestly finding
its eschatological form in the plagues cited in Rev 16. Inherently, just by foregoing to, as
discussed above in Rev 11:5, explicitly make their enemies aware of the stipulated judgements
that God has planned for them, their enemies could then keep running headlong right towards
that wall at the end of their unrighteous course.
Jesus did a similar thing by withholding to mention early in His opposed ministering
(Luke 4:17-21ff) the decreed vengeance of God in Isa 61:2b but only made mention of it when

8
this fulfillment had been sealed by the pursued and sustained course of unrighteousness by those
who opposed Him. (Luke 21:20-22) See DA 240.4.

So, as done in Rev 13:9-10 & Rev 14:10-12, God here encourages His Two Witnesses by
making them aware that their work and sacrifice would not be unrewarded and unavenged.

Rev 11:7 - And whenever they shall have completed their testimony, the beast which is coming
up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

whenever... - the Greek expression here is indeed the one with an iterative implication of
whenever (Greek hotan #3752) rather than the single instant when (Greek hote #3753).
So we are to expect this recurring oppositional warring and killing upon each distinct time that
Gods Two Witnesses would have come up and made/completed a Testimony against their
Apostate enemies.

shall have completed... - Naturally the Papacy/Catholic Church could not foresee neither who
would rise up against them, nor how impacting and damaging would their testimony against them
be...So it patently was when a Reformer had managed to fully present their kernel of Reforming
Light that the Church would deem that they should react against it. But the roots of their message
had already been firmly laid, and the damage to the authority of, and reverence to, their
Apostate Church, already done.

the beast from the abyss - It would seem to be self-evident, and thus redundant, to point out that
such a power which makes war against, and kills Gods faithful people is indeed one which has
its origin from where Satan and where demons are banished to (Luke 8:31-33). But without
either a (God-permitted) mission on the Earth (as in the purposeful forming of Militant Islam
=Rev 9:1-2 or for the Har-Mageddon gathering (Rev 17:8, 17; 2 Thess 2:9-12)) or without
having anyone to deceive (Rev 20:1-3), people on the Earth would be acting only according to
their own spirit, without Satanic incitement and deluding. But it would indeed take a Satanic
influence to delude Christians to the point where they would become systematically blood thirsty
again fellow Christians. (Rev 17:6; 18:24). So such a beast = kingdom would indeed have to
be Satans own kingdom. (Rev 13:2, 7) carrying out Satans most nefarious and wanton will (Rev
12:12).

Indeed that was patently seen in regards to the testimony and work of the Reformers.
They would rise up, make their biting testimony against the apostasies of their day, and then they
would be persecuted and eventually martyred martyred. Most emblematically all of these element
were seen in the experience of the Reformation-spearheading Waldenses. It was Inspiredly said
about their template plight:

The Waldensian missionaries were invading the kingdom of Satan, and the powers of
darkness aroused to greater vigilance. Every effort to advance the truth was watched by

9
the prince of evil, and he excited the fears of his agents. The papal leaders saw a portent
of danger to their cause from the labors of these humble itinerants. If the light of truth
were allowed to shine unobstructed, it would sweep away the heavy clouds of error that
enveloped the people. It would direct the minds of men to God alone and would
eventually destroy the supremacy of Rome.
The very existence of this people, holding the faith of the ancient church, was a
constant testimony to Rome's apostasy, and therefore excited the most bitter hatred and
persecution. Their refusal to surrender the Scriptures was also an offense that Rome
could not tolerate. She determined to blot them from the earth. Now began the most
terrible crusades against God's people in their mountain homes. Inquisitors were put upon
their track, and the scene of innocent Abel falling before the murderous Cain was often
repeated. {GC 76.1-2}

overcome and kill them - Not even this achieved murderous end could gain the victory over the
cause of God and His Truth, because it was exactly in this way, thus this Divine sting-operation,
that, as seen with Jesus Christ (John 12:31-33), Satan and His devoted followers would be
convictingly exposed (as premeditating murderers) and eternally defeated (Luke 10:18; Rev
12:10, 11; DA 490.1-4 & GC 47.1-48.2)!!..and with those faithful-in the-face-of-death
witnesses getting a martyrs reward (=Rev 11:11-12)

Rev 11:8 - And their dead body will lie on the street of the Great City, whichever one causes
itself to Spiritually be called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

their dead body - Well just like you arent self-evidently sure of a homicide without a dead
body, the fact that Gods Two Witnesses, His, as discussed earlier, King/Moses/OT &
Church/Elijah/NT, thus the Testimony of the Scriptures, had been put to death, would be
obviously seen in the sight of their corpse. And the scene of the crime would be identified by the
city street where they would be found.

the Great City - In the book of Revelation itself the great city is clearly identified in Rev
17:18 as: the enriched/luxurious (Rev 17:4a) Immoral (Rev 17:2) Mother of Harlots &
Earths Abominations (Rev 17:4b) and blasphemous character-endorsing (Rev 17:3)
martyrs blood-drunk (Rev 17:6) Woman which reigns over the kings of the Earth and is
called/known as Babylon (Rev 17:18; 18:10b, 15). So the great city here should be understood
as also being this same Harlotrous Woman = Apostate Church = (Historically) the Roman
Catholic Church, however the prophetic statement here points out that this Great City would
here, as discussed later, be Spiritually called/known by substantively different names, thus
have an identifiably different (joint)-character.

causes itself to ... be called - the actions of/in/by that Great City would be self-determinate of
identifying its actual character = name....

10
to Spiritually be called - As this here inherently involves Biblical Spirituality, then a capital S
is used.
This Spirituality is dependent on the enlightment from the Spirit of God to properly see
and discern the codedly-symbolized entity here.
Spirituality also patently involves a mind over matter state. So something may
physically seems to be something on the outside, but Spiritually it is being something else. (Cf.
Rom 7:21-25). So this city wont literally be Sodom nor Egypt, nor even the non-named,
but alluded to Jerusalem,

Sodom - Sodom was renown for its open sexually-abominable debauchery, but it also was
equally condemned as abominable for its arrogantly exuberant, poor-indifferent, wealth lifestyle
(Ezek 16:48-50).
Historically, the Roman Catholic Church was well known for its wealth and opulence
which it indifferently exacted, and through religio-psychological force, from its laity. Indeed such
a scheme led poor people to think that it was more important to even sacrificially give their
money to the Church, e.g. for indulgences, and thus assure their Eternal life, rather than try to
preserve their Temporal life. Fittingly enough, with the Kings in France themselves being Roman
Catholic, such a scheme was also implemented in their socio-economic ruling policies, which
really is what was the cause of the French Revolution.
That Sodomic socio-economic basis eventually came to also include the sexually-
abominable one as France, with its Declaration of the Rights of Man became the cesspool of
anything-goes/libertine sexuality. However here, as with the Socio-Economic abomination
above, the fault can also be laid here at the feet of the ruling Church-State of the day, the Roman
Catholic Church, as it was the culmination of its misrepresentation of God and its corruption of
Biblical Truth which fostered this Bible-rebelling atheist Spirit in France.

Egypt - Egypt was itself renown for its defiant opposition to recognize or obey God (Exod 5:2)
The Roman Catholic Church seemed to be God reverential and believing, but the Bible
easily exposed it as really being infidels in disguise. Through it arrogant and blasphemous claims
of its priesthood and Pope being equal and even greater than Jesus Christ and God, it most
certainly set the template for the arrogantly defiant atheism which exploded on the open scene in
France during their Revolution. If/Since the Church was claiming that it was greater than God
and that God had to abide by its will/decision, then why couldnt any man (a) make such
claims and (b) just dispense with that unseen God altogether. And that is indeed the inceptive
root of Modern Atheism...indeed a direct reaction to what the Roman Catholic Church had been
modeling.
And the RCC continues to this day in such effectively atheistic ways, having by now
openly espoused the theory of Evolution. Though they claim the oxymoron Theistic Evolution
slant, any thinking person would be able to see from such a supposed Theological Belief that
an unseen God can also just as easily be taken out of this equation and the theory of Evolution
left to stand on its own, again at the determinative mercy of whimsical man.
Blasphemy itself, which Babylon fully endorses (Rev 17:3), essentially is slanderous
taking what God has done/does/can do and ascribing the credit and glory to man. (cf. Luke 5:21;

11
John 10:33)...Something that God indeed abhors. (Isa 42:8; 48:5, 11)

where also their Lord was crucified - This seems to refer Jerusalem, but, and as that name is
not stated, as it naturally should have been, it therefore is actually referring to another place. That
place where Jesus was crucified was the area just beyond the wall at the time of the Holy City
Jerusalem (Heb 13:12), -but which was an Apostate and Doomed City (cf. Matt 23:37-38ff; Luke
19:41-44). Executions were done outside of the city so as to not defile the Holy City. So those
so capitally punished there were deemed to be, -as Jesus unfairly was (Isa 53), accursed and full
of (capital) sin(s). (Heb 13:11; Gal 3:13). So here too the Spiritual meaning of this location is to
be involved.

Verse Summary - So, summing up all of the coded identifications here, while every
characteristic is physically descriptive of what was seen in late 18th century France, underlying to
all of this was the corrupting work of Babylon the Great (=Rev 17:1-6), which Historically was
the Roman Catholic Church and its Holy Roman Empire. So while the Great City city here was
physically seen/recognized to be France, -a then, even charter, Member State of the Holy Roman
Empire, the Heavenly Intelligence here directs the reader to understand that it is still overruling
Babylon (=Rev 17:18) in the wider perspective.
So the Great City here is Spiritually actually/really Babylon, but as it is being most
advancedly manifested in Rebelling France...which indeed is merely the sequitur state of what
the effective infidel teachings of Babylon would lead to. And that is how Babylon, which by the
related way, currently/Eschatologically is currently most fully (=Rev 18:2, 5) manifested in the
United States of America comes to corrupt all of the kings/nations/people of the Earth (Rev 18:3,
9, 23b) likewise leading them towards increasingly being unbelieving/atheistic and immoral...and
also to murderously oppose Biblical Christians (Rev 18:24).
So having taken a page from the Roman Catholic Churchs historical playbook of how to
act against those two witnesses of God, France likewise effectively did the same to those
Witnesses, indeed not limiting its opposition to the False Christianity of Catholicism to the
Church, but also to the Bible, pointedly to the Bibles model for Civil/Societal and
Moral/Religious Living, which, as discussed above at Rev 11:6, are Gods Redemptive Two
Witnesses for this Fallen World and its Inhabitants.

Focus on the Prominent Events in/of France - So Revolutionary France merely


explicitly and openly did what Babylon had all along been secretly doing: and open rebellion
again the Word of God...and, as planned and designed by God, as stated in Rev 11:5, what
Babylon had been doing against Gods Faithful Witnesses, would here be done against them, and
by a Satanically advancing mere reflection of themselves....And it is here, partway in the
fulfillment of Rev 11:8, when the focus goes from the more wider umbrella entity of Babylon to
focally France, that things become Spiritually, (Heavenly Intelligence-wise) Technically and
Chronologically interesting as discussed next:

Eschatological Application of the Two Witnesses Prophecy

12
In the very interesting purposeful charting organization of the Book of Revelation and
its prophecies, it is, first more generally seen, that God has involve an Interlude between the
Sixth and the Seventh Events in a Prophetic Series. Pertinent to the present study, the
prophecies of the Mighty Angel and the Little Scroll (Rev 10) and this prophecy of the Two
Witnesses (Rev 11) constitute the Interlude during the Seven Trumpets Series located between
the Sixth Trumpet (Rev 9:21) and the Seventh Trumpet (Rev 11:15-19). This Interlude is the
largest and most detailed/complex of the Interludes.
Now the Organizational Charting of Revelation thematically also reveals that the Cross-
Sectional Bloc of Interludes itself, labeled A2, is likewise divided into 7+1 Series of
sequencing Events, as follows:

A. {Rev 10&11 Interlude Cross Section}

As it is seen there, the prophecy of Rev 10 constitute the First 5 Events of the Series, and
the prophecy of the Two Witnesses of Rev 11 constitute the Sixth through Eighth Event.
Now what is further/even deeper more interesting is that it is prophetically attested and
thus reflected in this organizational charting that the Sixth Event itself is split into two Sections,
labeled 6a & 6b. This feature has been attested from the historical fulfilment of the Sixth Seal of
Rev 6:12-17 (discussed in here) where the prophetic statements of that Sixth seal were
historically fulfilled up to Rev 6:13 in the: (1) Lisbon Earthquake of Nov 1, 1755; (2) the Dark
Day of May 19, 1780 (cf. here); and (3) The Leonid Star Shower of Nov 13, 1833. (=Matt
24:29; See exposition starting in the chapter Heralds of the Morning in GC 304.1-308.2 &
333.1-334.3; cf. 1905 JNL, GSAM 93.3-97.4). But the remaining prophetic elements of Rev
6:14-17 have yet to be fulfilled. So we presently have been prophetically living between the
verses of Rev 6:13 & 14!. (See in the charting for the other instances of this key feature of
prophetic pausing). And given the predicted decisive action of God in that Second Half of this
Sixth Event (Rev 6:15-17); as also seen in its bloody OT basis in the context of Isa 34:4, it can be
appreciated why God choses to pause at such a point before moving on in order to sealingly
wrap things up.
It would seem that this pausing just before the final fulfilling of a Sixth Event, is a most
deliberate action by God, and throughout history. The earliest example of this recorded in the
Bible can be see in the sequence of Creation. On the Sixth Day, Friday (Gen 1:24-31), God first
created Living (Land) Creatures. (Gen 1:24-25). He then created Humans (Gen 1:26-27ff). But
the more detailing account of this in Gen 2 reveals that some time had passed on that Friday
when Adam was all alone Gen 2:7-17, and then God reassessed things and determined that it
was not good for man to be alone (Gen 2:18) and, -manifestly late in the Sixth Day before the
Fridays evening/sunset, (cloningly) created the Woman Eve (Gen 2:21-22).
My Theological View on this development had been that God had intended to only create
human as He had created Angels, both individually each and also merely as males. However He
had created animals as male and female genders and had given them the ability to reproduce
themselves. But in that Friday afternoon tangible observation and assessment, seeing the
unsatisfaction of Adam PP 46.1, He deemed that it was better to also create the Female Human.
So it can be Theologically understood that, at His Sixth Event in a Series, God allows for

13
a pausing in order to reassess things before putting His final completion seal on the whole Series.
Similarly, prophetically, God has involved a pausing in the unfolding of prophetic series, part
way just before He closes a Sixth Event, and then brings about the Series-sealing Finale in the
Seventh Event. In the prophecy of the Two Witnesses, we see this occurring indeed part way in
the prophetic elements in Rev 11:8. Explicitly, this is between the first part of that verse which
states that the dead bodies of the Two Witnesses would lay dead in the streets of the Great
City, -again, as seen in the discussion on this statement above, which is straightly understood to
be the Great City Babylon (Rev 17:18) which each fulfilling manifestation of the Two Witnesses,
in arising Reformers, had been historically denouncing and preaching to, and then the enjoined
further detailing of: Sodom, Egypt and an allusion to the location of Christ Passion,
just outside the city gates of Jerusalem, which is seen to find its most explicit fulfillment in
what France became and did during the 15 years of its Revolution.

Recursive Part 6b Eschatological Wave - Now, further prophetic


structural/organization features in the unravelling of this prophetic interlude is also seen from the
template of the Sixth Seal of Rev 6:12-17. While the First Part of Rev 6:12-14 did have a
literalistic Historical Fulfillment, as seen in the prophetic detailing of Final Events in the SOP,
these prophetic elements manifestly are first refulfilled in the time leading up to the Second Part
of that Sixth Seal Event to be fully unravel. This is seen in the section leading up to The
Deliverance of Gods People in GC 635.1ff. Like the dead but unburied Two Witnesses, Gods
People are then are in prison cells, hidden in solitary retreats, while their enemies are about to
rush on them to put them to death. (GC 635.2).

(A) As discussed in here at Rev 6:12-13, during that preluding period of opposition and
persecution are found many stars of former religious leader who have fallen and joined the
Mark of the Beast camp. (5T 81.1-82.1). While that is a Spiritual fulfilment, the other two
elements are stated in the SOP as being literally fulfilled:

(C) Then a sudden deeper than night darkness occurs, thus during the day part, -thus when the
sun is supposed to be shining, which befalls on the Mark of the Beast camp (GC 635.3 = Rev
16:10-11).

(B) With the moon also having been observed to be red when the (actual) night of the May 19,
1780 Dark Day came in, and with the moon being a symbol of a Religious/Spiritual Economy,
-while the sun symbolizing the Livelihood/Temporal Economy, and indeed just as many people
lose their religion when faced with financial/economic difficulty, the moon becoming red like
blood can be interpreted as the enjoining bleeding out (unto death) of the religious economy
upon this plague (No. 5) of deep darkness. And that is what sequentially transpires in the Sixth
Plague when Spiritualism takes over the Mark of the Beast Camp (Rev 16:12-16); -thus sealingly
leading them to their losing Har-Mageddon War (Rev 17:12-14) and thus their utter end. (Rev
19:19-21).
However in the SOP sequence, the perverting of the religion of the opposing camp,
leading to Satan having spiritualistically taken them over had already transpired before the suns

14
affectation producing that deep darkness. So this event here is really the (B) section and that of
the darkened sun is really the (C) section.

(D) Then there ensuingly is also an earthquake (GC 636.3a = Rev 16:17-18 Seventh Plague)

An also interesting feature here is that in the occurrence of the prophetic elements of Rev
16:12-13 (=Matt 24:29) there is a: (A) Earthquake, (B) Sun, (C) Moon, (D) Stars sequential
order; but in the SOPs Final Event reoccurrence of these prophetic elements there is an exactly
converse: (D) Stars, (B) Moon, (C) Sun, (D) Earthquake sequence. With the first two events in
red then having had Spiritual fulfillments while the last two events (the Sun and the Earthquake)
are again literalistic, but this time injunctively, deliberately caused by God rather than naturally
occurring, even according astronomically predictable timing.

All of these observed prophetic features from that template in the Sixth Seal are indeed
important in what transpires in the Sixth Part of Two Witnesses Prophecy Interlude as we also
see an eschatological reoccurring of the elements in 6a part which is what was stated in Rev
11:1-8a in now the preluding part of the 6b section (=Rev 11:8b-10) as this entire Sixth Part
will now unravel uninterrupted, to its applicable full (+Seventh (=Rev 11-13) and Eighth (Rev
11:14) sections) fulfillment then.
So, and in other words, while Rev 11:1-8a had had a prior historical fulfillment during
Roman/Papal Catholic Church History for much of the prophesied 1260 year periods of the
symbolic 42 months and 1260 days = from 538 A.D. to 1798 A.D., these prophetic elements,
including their chronological time, are again refulfilled starting in the Rev 11:8b French
Revolution focusing and culminating developments. And as seen in the SOPs fulfilling of the
first part of the Sixth Seal elements, likewise here, some parts are literalistically fulfilled, while
the other parts have spiritual/symbolic implications.

Eschatological Application of Rev 11:1-8b - So here, this prophetic refulfillment in this


French Revolution (cf. its major events timeline) will be succinctly stated, revolving around
how and when the time elements of the 42 months and the 1260 days are now, and
literalistically so, (i.e. eschatologically now, not being reckoned according to a 1 day = 1
year conversion principle), re-apply. And this is actually in the due, converse judgement of the
persecutors of Gods Two Witnesses as stated in Rev 11:5.

Rev 11:1 - Then a reed similar to one of a measuring rod was given to me, causing to be said:
Raise up yourself, and measure the Sanctuary of God; that is both the altar and the ones who
worship in it.

sanctuary of God - This is representative of any Church which professed be Gods own. In this
context/case it was the Roman Catholic Church in France.

altar - Again this more specifically speaks of the temple ministry. For the Catholic Church at

15
the time this was its clergy, in their various, also quasi-State-ruling, hierarchal levels.

the ones who worship in it - This description widely/generally fits those who were actually
volitionally devoted to the Catholic Church/Religion (i.e. as compared to, as discussed earlier,
the corralled sheep in the courtyard/sheepfold surrounding this sanctuary proper, but with the
way that the Medieval+ Catholic Church had come to shut out its general worshipers from the
service, i.e. from comprehending it, by, -(and until the changes from the Second Vatican Council
(1962-65) holding its masses in Latin, and also by not allowing its members to have the Bible in
their common language, even those volitional and devote worshipers really did not know what
they were worshiping. So this grouping of worshipers was effectively only applicable to the
clergy/priests.
But added to this inner circle was the non-clerical favored nobility and aristocracy, as
well as the monarchy, namely at this time: the King of France Louis XVI and his royal family
(themselves Roman Catholics), were part of it. The ruling class was effectively in the loop
about the decisions of the Church/Clergy. Again this was like the intrinsic princes portion that
was also part of the Temple complex of OT Israel (Ezek 44:1-3; 45:7-46:18)
Indeed, as it systematically was their organizational and working policy, in 1789 the
Catholic Church held a most prominent and influential, up to even effective ruling, position in
the States where it was accepted. Indeed: (1) Catholicism was at the time the State Religion of
France; (2) out of Three Estate tiers grouping the population of France in its Feudalism-based
system, the Catholic Ecclesiastical Leaders and Clergy formed its First Estate [the
nobility/aristocracy formed the Second, and the rest of the people, = the commoners, were
grouped in the Third]; and (3) The Church had amassed greatly disproportional wealth and land
ownership. I.e. It is said that:

The clergy numbered about 100,000 [out of a total population of 20 million] and yet they
owned 10% of the land. The Catholic Church maintained a rigid hierarchy as abbots and
bishops were all members of the nobility and canons were all members of wealthy
bourgeois families. As an institution, it was both rich and powerful. As with the nobility,
it paid no taxes and merely contributed a grant to the state every five years, the amount of
which was self-determined. The upper echelons of the clergy had considerable influence
over government policy.

Raise up yourself and measure - The opening, non-coincidentally enough, uprising call of
Rev 11:1 is one to rise up against a Temple/Church entity which claims to be standing as Gods
Temple/Church on this Earth and see if it measures up; and as discussed earlier, this call is
based on Ezek 40-43 [and was the foremost part of a larger Nation of God entity which
likewise should measure up (=Ezek 47:13-48:35)]. But as Ancient Israel had done with those
Divine/Prophetic Temple-Upbuilding instruction which would have properly punctuated the Old
Covenant, and, (no doubt successfully), have ushered in the Messianic Age, the Catholic Church
likewise ignored and (also most blasphemously) perverted most of what Jesus Christ had
instructed in regards to the proper upbuilding of His New Covenant Temple (John 2:13-
22)/Church (Matt 16:16-19 =not upon Peter). Indeed by this time in the late 18th Century, this

16
Apostatizing Catholic Church had made the Christian Church to be a: dens of robbers built on
the whims and words of Law-breaking men. So its judgement was indeed due, and through the
revolting of the French People, God allowed for this accounting to be done.

So it is most sequitur that an uprising and attack on the government and ruling powers
could not be sidestepped by the Church. Yet, as the State Church Religion, it is really the
Catholic Church which had set up and sustained this state of (mis-)ruling affairs. So though the
genesis of the French Revolution was a mass uprising of the unfairly governed against the
government, it effectively was, indeed had to be/fully become, also an uprising against the
Church if this political revolution was ever going to be successful..and that is indeed what was
Ecclesiastically pursued, and eventually accomplished.

Rev 11:2 - And in regards to the court (sheepfold) which is outside of the sanctuary: Cast it
out! and do not evaluate/judge it because it was given to the Gentiles and they will trample the
Holy City for 42 months.

cast it out - The underlying Greek term here ek-ballo (Strongs #1544b lit. out cast/throw)) is
indeed pointedly more forceful and active (as patently used throughout the New Testament), than
just the passive expression of leave out.

do not evaluate/judge it - So the implication here was to virtually severe this entity from the rest
of this Sanctuary complex, by casting it out from this otherwise intrinsically adjoined
association, so that it would be exempted from the upcoming judgement

given to the Gentiles - This segment to be cast out was the third grouping of: the Gentiles
sheepfold outside of the Sanctuary proper complex which, as in Ezek 40-46:18, the
clergy/priests (=Levites) and the nobility/aristocrats (=princes).

French Revolution Fulfillment: The grouping of: the Monarchy; (First Estate): the
Hierarchal Catholic Clergy and its rank-n-file Priests; and (Second Estate): the (Royal
Families); Nobility and Aristocracy altogether effectively formed an informal ruling/lording
cabal over the (wage-labourers & peasants) rest of the people of France (=Third Estate); and the
pointed (political) genesis of/for the French Revolution occurred when the King of France had, in
May 1789, gathered, (for the first time in 175 years ; -i.e. since 1614), the Estates-General of
France (=a convention of representative from Frances Three Estates) in order to try to resolve
the critical financial problems in his realm, (which were giving rise or fuel to various, several,
joint and increasingly-simmering issues of contention at the causal root of the French
Revolution).

1. {France Estates-General Assembly}


{Historical Event movie clip: Fre[15:25-17:26]//Eng[E1P2=07:27-09:43]}

17
But as the King favored a tiered voting scheme which would neutralize the weight and
impact of the larger Third Estate (600 delegates) voting bloc (as the First and Second Estates
(300 delegates each) would thus surely carry the vote 2-1), the Third Estates broke off from the
Assembly (thus effectively casting themselves out) and, eventually calling themselves the
Commons, formed their own National Assembly, (meeting, after having been locked out of
the regular convention chamber, in a nearby indoor Tennis Club; -but 2 days later, when again
locked out, met in a Cathedral), -(yet still inviting the other 2 Estates to join if they would),
vowing together to not disband until they had settled the Constitution of Kingdom of
France....And thus pivotally was (politically) started the Revolution of the French People against
the Monarchy. [Mirroring the stand that the people of the American Colonies had taken against
the King of England a few years earlier.]

2. {Third Estates Tennis Club Meeting/Oathtaking}


{Historical Event movie clip: Fre[21:20-23:04]//Eng[E1P3=05:28-07:16]}

they will trample the Holy City... - The cast out Gentile (=regular/non-adherent people)
grouping were to themselves effectuate tangible/physical trampling actions upon the rest of
that judged Sanctuary Complex and its encompassing (deemed) Holy City. It was indeed the
Sanctuarys presence and function which sanctified the City where it was located and thus
effectively made it a Holy City. But, as also with Ancient Israel, if/when the Sanctuary complex
fell (cf. Matt 24:1-2) and/or was no longer in its prior prominent/dominant purpose, the rest of its
city could/would also not be considered Holy.... and/but for a determined period of time ....

for 42 months - As it was discussed earlier this verse and its historical fulfillment, and over a
prophetic chronological period, which is allusive to the same time period in Rev 13:5, was a
remonstrative of how that arrogant and pompous First Beast =Roman Catholic Church/Holy
Roman Empire, who had engaged in systematically warring against Gods faithful Bible
believers, at the same time as it was diluting the Truths of the Bible to theologically and in
practices to compromise and accommodate with the former pagans in the Roman Empire realm
that it was now, moreover abusively/oppressively, ruling over.
Well that proved to slowly, but surely, erode any Biblical/Moral Authority that it would
want to wield, and that entrenched dissonance and hypocrisy bubble was radically popped by
the grassroot Revolutionaries of France...The Gentiles in this so-overruled nation indeed
trampled the courts surrounding the Church that the Church had Biblically-illicitly converted
into its ruling realm, hence the effective (Holy) City of/from that Sanctuary.

French Revolution Fulfillment: On June 27, 1789, King Louis VI started to recognize
the validity of the National Assembly of the Third Commoner Estate and on July 9, 1789,
the former Assembly of the Estates-General was reconstituted, now as the National Constituent
Assembly and began to function as a governing body and a constitution-drafter. In a foundational
request, it asked the King to remove the presence of Royal troops in Versailles which the King
was claiming was for a precautionary measure, given how much populace support was being

18
manifested for the stance and power of the Third Estate. The king refused to remove the troops,
but offered instead to move the Assembly to another location, -which would then actually be
between two armies and isolated from the support of the Parisian people. That offer was refused,
but the ongoing presence, and felt intimidation, even threat to Parisians and the ongoing
Assembly process by the Kings troops led the people in Paris to decide that they too should
organize and arm themselves into Militias (soon to become Revolutionary France's National
Guard). As they did not themselves keep and bear arms, they, on the morning of July 14, 1789
stormed, without significant opposition, the Htel des Invalides, (a Hospice/Residence for no-
longer-suitable for field service Veterans), where 29,000-32,000 muskets were held, but,
expecting such an assault, 250 barrels of gunpowder had been moved to the better defended
Bastille fortress....thus producing what many have called the flashpoint of the French
Revolution in the ensuing Storming of the Bastille which, (of course) to this day, -and
actually starting right from the year after in 1790, (though only officially so starting in 1880), is
nationally commemorated and celebrated by the French as the seminal event of/for their
Republic, for amid the tensions of July 1789, the Bastille was seen as a symbol of royal tyranny
and its fall effected, starting from the next day, the loss of sovereignty/power/authority of the
monarchy to the now also/likewise militarily-back/empowered common people of France.
Upon first learning of this storming the next morning (through the Duke of La
Rochefoucauld), King Louis XVI asked: Is it a revolt? The duke replied: No sire, it's not a
revolt; its a revolution.

3. {Storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789}


{Historical Event movie clip: Fre[32:22-49:31]//Eng[E1P4=06:40-E1P6=05:51]}

As it is said: The news of the successful insurrection at Paris spread throughout France.
In accord with principles of popular sovereignty and with complete disregard for claims of royal
authority, the people established parallel structures of municipalities for civic government and
militias for civic protection. However this demonstration of the reclaiming of power by popular
force also came to engender, between July 17 to August 3, 1789, violent lawless mob action,
riots and revolts in rural France pitting the peasants, also against wealthy landlords (=part of the
aristocracy), in a period that came to be known as the Great Fear.

4. {Sacking of Town Hall in Strasbourg (July 21, 1789)} cf. here

And this sustained state of national panic eventually led the Assembly to vote to abolish
the privileges and feudal rights of the nobility (=Second Estate) on August 4, 1789, which also
led in effect to a general unrest among the nobility of France.

for 42 months - Additionally, as it was also Historically explained earlier in relation to this
time period for trampling that this was the time for the Moses Witness, i.e. pertaining to the
Civic\Kingly\Legislative\Political aspect of Gods Two Witnesses, with the other Witness being
the Elijah Witness who (correspondingly) focused on Ecclesiastical\Prophets\Bible\Religious
aspects.

19
So the fulfillment of this 42-month chronological period in the events of the French
Revolution has to encompass and cover key Governmental Affairs during this period. The key
event of the Storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789 can indeed be seen as the salient event
for the, pointedly physical trampling by the common people, against indeed a falsely testifying
formal and informal ruling entities of the monarchy and the nobility/aristocracy, which were
effectively claiming to be acting under the direction, guidance and approval of God through the
endorsing State Religion Catholic Church.
With that date as starting bookend, looking in the timeline of major events in France
during that time, it can be most acceptably claimed here that the symbol of the official and
complete overthrowing of the King, thus the 1000-continuous-year Monarchy, by the French
People, through its representative, though tribunally self-instituted, (Third Estate-led) National
Assembly, -(by then being the National Convention), in the: trial, conviction, sentencing and
execution of King Louis XVI, is to be regarded as the fitting ending of this prophetic contra-
ruling powers time period. King Louis XVI was declared guilty of conspiracy against public
liberty by the Convention by a unanimous vote of: 693 to 0; with 23 abstaining and 26 absent]
on January 15, 1793.

5. {The Trial and Conviction of King Louis XVI}


{Historical Event movie clip: Fre[31:40-39:18]//Eng[E3P4=05:08-E3P5=03:07]}

Arguably the ensuing death penalty beheading execution of King Louis XVI 6 days later
(January 21, 1793) could be considered as the more fitting end for the 42 month period
here...however several substantive factors can validly oppose this view. First of all, most of the
33 charges against King Louis XVI [interestingly enough, desacralizingly dubbed Citizen Louis
Capet for his trial & execution], were rather political in nature than criminal, and especially
premeditatedly criminal. Those political charges were mainly allegations of having acted against
the Revolution. Case in point, none of the offenses charged predated the start of the Revolution
in 1789, and in fact started with King Louiss shutting down of the Estates-General assembly on
June 20, 1789 (indeed as no law then prevented the King from doing so, but which was now
called an attack on the sovereignty of the people.
It must have been this objectively evident fact that no direct criminal, and especially
murderously so, implication was really proven against the King that the vote for a death penalty
sentence was far from unanimous. The (21-hour) votes result was rather/comparatively very
close at ca. 55% (395) for and 45% (321) against (preferring life imprisonment or banishment).
So the sentiment for death, spearheaded by Maximilien Robespierre (a pivotal figure in the
Revolution); and despite himself personally being adamantly against the death penalty, who
encapsulatingly declared that: Louis must die so that the nation may live, of course prevailed,
though it really wasnt substantively warranted.

6. {The Execution of King Louis XVI}


{Historical Event movie clip: Fre[39:18-45:16]//Eng[E3P5=03:07-09:48]}

So as the prophetic period was calling for a trampling down of the prior ruling

20
structure, and not necessarily involving this ending in, moreover extra-legal, capital death, the
conviction of King Louis XVI was fitting enough. Interestingly if King Louis had been allowed
to live under a Life Sentence instead, perhaps he, the monarchy and even the prior ruling powers
that be, could have made a popularly/majoritarily acclaimed successful comeback in the light of
the upcoming variously appalling downturns of the Revolution. Indeed even the August 10, 1792
Insurrection (dubbed a Second Revolution) which had informally deposed him and initiated
the abolishment the monarchy [formally proclaimed so on September 21, 1792], is said to have
been effectuated by a devoted&faithful few revolutionaries.

So the fulfillment of the (eschatological = literalistic) 42 months during the French


Revolution can be reckoned from the date of the Storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789 to
the Guilty Conviction of King Louis XVI on July 15, 1793 which actually is 42 months to the
day (i.e. reckoning the passing of a month as the equivalent calender dates (i.e. the 14th)
between each successive month), as there was an extra day in 1792 from the leap year day of
February 29, 1792.

B. {Reckoning of the 42 months of Rev 11:2 during the French Revolution}

So, recapping Rev 11:1-2 here, as prophesied, the people of/in the Third Estate had
indeed trampled down (to the ground) the realm of those who ruled/controlled them. Thus the
Monarchy and the Second Estate of the Nobility were affected, and the pervasively-intertwined
First Estate of the Clergy who dabbled in both effectively ruling right alongside the King, as well
as profiteeringly enriching itself as did the aristocracy, would not be far behind in also being
trampled over. The Third Estate, the Gentile group had here virtually fully trample the city
realm of this claimed holy (cf. Holy [...] Empire) entity, but the judgement of the
sanctifying Churchs Temple/Sanctuary proper itself was soon to come.

Rev 11:3 - And I will [keep on] giving to my two witnesses and they will prophesy for 1260
days, having clothed themselves in sackcloths.

[keep on] giving - Though repeatedly seeming to have been emptied and devoid of any impact
and influence, God here reveals that the testimony in His Two Witnesses, namely the Laws and
Principles in the Bible which properly can and should be applied for the righteous organization,
governing and worship of a nation, will not cease from making such remonstrating point. The
Catholic Religion had perverted the actually Biblical Witness/Testimony here, but these Truths
would continue to still make their case.

prophesy for... - prophesying here involves fore-speaking and/or speaking for in regards
to a message of/from God. This ministering respectively either involves warning of something
that is to come and/or admonishingly speak about something which need to be redress...and
before things get much worst or it is too late

21
...1260 days - As discussed previously on the Historical Rev 11:3 fulfillment, this is thematically
allusive to Rev 12:6 where God nourished His faithful and persecuted wilderness-relocated
church (=woman) for 1260 prophetic days (=1260 years). Just as done with Elijah, God there
was giving his faithful followers physical nourishment while in the wilderness, but this can also
be understood as vitally being Spiritual nourishment from His Word (cf. Job 32:12; Matt
4:4|Luke 4:4; John 4:32)
And while this 1260-day period is pointedly for the Elijah (Ecclesiastical/Church)
Witness versus the pointed Moses (Civic/State) Witness of the 42 months above in Rev 11:2;
as a Godly Rule/Government would involved living according to Godly/Biblical Laws and
Principles (cf. Deut 17:18-20); this Spiritual Witness would prophesyingly speak to/in more
than just Ecclesiastical/Church affairs, but also to matters of the State, namely the
Morality/Righteousness of the State, given that really: as goes the Church, so goes the State.
Case in point the prior American Revolution did not experience the same internal
aberrations as did the later French Revolution, mainly because the Americans had not decided to
ditch/lose their religion/morality as did the French.

having clothed themselves in sackcloths - this special outfitting of the prophet was to enact the
mourning of death. This was either for something which had already died (such as the practicing
of justice and righteousness in a society); or the striking warning that sure death is going to be the
outcome of a present ly pursued course (cf. Ezek 18:31-32). Either way, both of these
applications inherently, implicitly, are a call to repentance.

Recap: So the events that are to be looked for to fulfill these prophetic/Spiritual elements
involve: a warning call to Spiritual/Religious repentance, before things get much worse, -and
even mourningly deadly, from a, though not outward recognizable, Biblical entity which is
increasingly still prophesying despite having been persecuted and marginalized and taken
refuge in a Spiritual Wilderness.

French Revolution Fulfillment: Summarily/Thetically stated right at the top, though


Roman Catholicism was, and to this day still is, far perfect, and even heretical, compared to the
Libertine (=Sodom) Atheism (=Egypt) the people of the French Revolution endeavored to
establish as a replacement to the lower rung of apostasy and unrighteousness in Babylon (in
which many of Gods sincere People (to this day) are found (Rev 18:4)), the partially Biblical
and partially Heretical religion of Babylon in Roman Catholicism was way better. A call to return
to the more Biblical Protestant movement (which had had many roots in France; i.e. Reformers
like: Louis de Berquin (ministering from 15??-1529, GC 215.3-219.1); Guillaume Brionnet
(+1516-1534, GC 214.2-215.2); Jacques Lefvre (+1492-1536, GC 212.1-214.3) Guillaume
Farel (1522-1565, GC 213.2-214.2); Jean Calvin (1536-1564, GC 219.3-236.2); and the
Huguenots) would have been much better, but returning to Catholicism versus diving into
Atheism was therefore comparatively/relatively good.

As stated earlier, the revolution against the rule of the French Monarch would not have
been complete, or even sustainable, if almost equally ruling Roman Catholic Religion was not

22
significantly degraded even to the point of total annulment. And so, not long after the start of
revolutionary acts in mid-1789, acts against the stranglehold grip that the Church ideologically
had on the people of France began to be bindingly undermined. The following are such anti-
Catholicism, de-Christianization, and also anti-religion in general actions [mainly from this
timeline of major events] within the first year of the French Revolution:

1789
August 23: The Assembly proclaims freedom of religious opinions.
August 26: The Assembly adopts the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (which
was directly influenced by American Founding Father Thomas Jefferson) which was seeking to
replace traditional/theistic law with "secular/humanistic natural law". [Clearly the quasi-deist
Jefferson could not pull off a similar purely humanistic stance in Populacely (Protestant)
Christian America.]
October 10: the National Constituent Assembly seizes the properties and land held by the
Catholic Church.
November
2: The Assembly votes to place property of the Church at the disposition of the Nation.

December 19: Introduction of the assignat, a form of currency based not on silver, but on the
value of this property of the Church confiscated by the State.
December 24: As another slight to the authority of the Catholic Church, the Assembly decrees
that Protestants in France, -who lately (i.e. starting from 1661; =since the actions by King Louis
XIV against the 1598 Protestant rights-granting Edict of Nante) had been warred-against,
persecuted and marginalized, are eligible to hold public office; Jews are still excluded. This
indeed was merely a slight at Catholic authority in public affairs, and was not an endorsement of
Protestantism.

1790
February 13: The Assembly forbids the taking of religious vows and suppresses the
contemplative religious orders.
March 12: The Assembly approves the sale of the property of the church by municipalities
March 29: Pope Pius VI condemns the Declaration of the Rights of Man in a secret consistory
(=church tribunal/governing council).

Well by this point of successive degrading of the Catholic Religion, certain groups of
people were having enough and between April 5 and June 10, 1790, a series of pro-catholic and
anti-revolutionary riots in the French provinces; in Vannes (April 5), Nmes (April 6), Toulouse
(April 18), Toulon (May 3), and Avignon (June 10) protesting measures taken against the
church.
Again, with the Revolutionary movement in France effectively being making the Church
subjected to the (endeavoringly atheistic) State, rather than having a Separation of Church and
State as done in the America Revolution [something that a later (1801) State||Church-reverting
France didnt do until 1905], this uprising to uphold this form of Christianity, despite

23
Catholicism being theologically misguiding in many areas, was better than the sought for
Atheistic, Secular, Humanistic and Libertine alternative. So here, from whatever Biblical
knowledge and validity that Catholic adherents had, this series of uprising was an applicable
form of them standing for a comparatively much better way than was the main revolutionary
movement. Their advocated for light was dim, but compared to this (Catholic-reactionary)
abysmal swelling up of Atheistic darkness, it was still light.
However as opposition to such pro-catholic/religion stands continued to be systematically
suppressed by the governing Revolutionary powers between 1790-1793 (see in the timeline [1]1),
it is not surprising that more of such mass protests/riots are not reported to have occurred, for, as
later seen, in early 1793, it would literally take a full blown religio-civil war, as it occurred in
the Vende region, to try to overcome the, moreover increasingly authoritarian/fascist, ruling
Revolutionary Power, and pointedly/fittingly when it was then forcedly called by the State,
through military conscription, for every (eligible/applicable) person to fight, and potentially give
their lives, for this (also Atheistic & Libertine) Revolution.
So towards suppressing such uprisings in its realm, the Revolutionary government
(known as the National Convention then), established as a police force the Committee of
General Security in October 1792. It was designed to protect the Revolutionary Republic from
its internal enemies, which also included anyone who opposed its State-sponsored Atheism
stance. Then on March 21, 1793 it set up Revolutionary Surveillance Committees in all
communes and their sections. Then on April 6, 1793 it established the Committee of Public
Safety to oversee the ministries and to be chief executive body of the government. It had an
ideologically quite telling name, which in French was: Comit de salut public = literally
Committee of Public Welfare/Salvation instead of, tellingly, not being geared towards
substantive matters of Public Security. Public Salut/Welfare/Salvation has more of an
ideological/quasi-religious notion, (resembling the Greek term for both being made whole and
salvation in the Bible of sozo [Strongs #4982] as in what was good for societal well-
being/success.
The implicit or effective calls of these inclusively anti-Christian/anti-revolutionary
movements was that this alternatively sought atheistic and libertine course was not the answer,
effectively prophesying that things would not turn out well. Indeed any
endeavor/policy/movement which is fundamentally devoid of the Bible and Biblical morality is
bound to damagingly fail [Case in point: the 1960's+ STD, then HIV/AIDS epidemic which was
unleashed upon humans through an endeavored joint Atheistic/Humanistic/Libertine/Sexual
Liberation movement of Free Love & Homosexuality]...and the counter-response by the forces
for Revolution in France effectively were: what can possibly go wrong with Secular/Atheistic
Humanism...

So by the late summer of 1793, with the war against the Catholic and Royal Army of
the anti-Revolution resistors in the Vende region of west-central France still raging [and not to
be put down until December of that year], the Committee of Public Safety, now led by the
aforementioned Maximilien Robespierre, -who, as discussed before, had been inspirationally
instrumental in the decision to execute King Louis XVI, so that the French People may live,
acted to take more inceptively preemptive measures, surely in order to prevent such warring anti-

24
Revolutionary uprisings from ever taking root. On September 4, 1793 a radical faction known as
the Sans-culottes (=without breeches) occupied the Convention and demanded the arrest of
suspected opponents of the Revolution, and the creation of a new revolutionary army of 60,000
men. The next day, Sept. 5, a Law of Suspects was introduced to the Convention, then 12 days
later, on September 17, 1793 the Convention adopted the new Law of Suspects, permitting the
arrest and rapid trial of anyone suspected of opposing the Revolution and putting the onus on the
accused to prove their innocence and loyalty.
What could possibly go wrong in this effort to establish and maintain an atheistic and
secular society where liberty would reign???...Well as historians rightly point out here, it is at
this very point, with this enacting of these sweeping arrest and penal powers for the
Revolutionary government, that the infamous Reign of Terror (Sept 17, 1793-May 28, 1794)
of the French Revolution began. (More on this period later)

Clip: Terror Robespierre and the French Revolution

for 1260 days - The passing of the Law of Suspect chillingly silenced outspoken anti-
revolution sentiments...i.e. to avoid any suspicions as this would prove to be deadly. People
were even careful with their body language and reactions so as to not intimate, insinuate and/or
betray any degree of a notion of disapproval or dissent against whatever the Revolutionary
government would do. So, in regards to the prophetic theme for the reckoning of the 1260
days, the binding start of this utterly silencing development on September 17, 1793 is seen as
what brought about any endeavor to try to call, or act to bring, France to repent from its,
pointedly Spiritually, its anti-Bible/Christianity (albeit Catholicism), Atheistic & Libertine
movement. The start of this effective call to repent is seen as the initial series of mass uprising
against the actions which the Revolutionary government were taking against the Church starting
on April 5, 1790...And between those two book-ending dates, exactly 1261 days passed, as
shown below.

C. {Reckoning of the 1260 days of Rev 11:3 during the French Revolution}

Thats actually close enough for this type of prophetic fulfillment here, [just like the
above reckoned 42 month period thematically could acceptably have included the additional 6
subsequent days that it took for the, albeit unwarranted, execution of the French King].[2]2

Rev 11:4 - These are the two olive trees and two lampstands, the ones standing established
before the Lord of the Earth.

standing established before the Lord of the Earth - As discussed earlier, in the historical
exposition of this verse, this declaration speaks of how both the Bibles Civil/Governing
(=Moses) and Church/Religious (=Elijah) Witnesses were more the perfect model for the
ordering and success of any Kingdom and Society in the World. Revolutionary France had
undertaken to try to show that they can do better than what they believed, -by seeing the Church

25
& State witness from the Catholic Religion, was what, and all that, the Bible and Christianity
had to offer on those matters.

French Revolution Fulfillment: So now armed with their terrorizing Law of Suspects,
the French Revolutionaries plunged headlong into working to complete their (Democratic)
Revolution, and with them most prominently deeming their that anti-God+Bible+Christianity
tenets and stance was key to the salvation/welfare of their prospective Republic. As seen from
the timeline of events in this period:

October 5, 1793: To break with the past and replace traditional religious holidays, the
Convention adopts the newly created French Republican/Revolutionary Calendar. It
infamously also adopted a 10-day week.
October 21: The enactment of a law making all non-juring priests (i.e. those who would not take
an oath to the Civil Constitution of the Clergy) and all persons who harbored them liable to death
on sight
October 28: The Convention forbids religious instruction by clerics.

Of course meanwhile the Revolutions National Razor, the Guillotine, -which would
see the execution of ca. 17,000-40,000 people during this period was being used as often as
remotely/suspectedly possible.

7. {Reign of Terror Executions}


{Historical Event movie clip: Fre[01:16:45-01:19:09]//Eng[E4P1=06:09-08:42]}

November 8: Madame Roland, who is guillotined in the purge of the Girondins political faction,
cries out before her execution: Liberty, what crimes are committed in your name!

Then, formally starting of November 10, 1793, -which many historians consider the
climax of the de-Christianization movement, the Revolutionaries, led in this by Jacques Hbert,
endeavored to set up their version of a religion, -but of course a civic/atheistic/humanist one, in
the Cult of Reason. It explicitly was meant to be man-centered (=secular humanism). Its goal
was the perfection of mankind through the attainment of Truth and Liberty, and its guiding
principle to this goal was the exercise of the human faculty of Reason. For this philosophy/cult
there would be one God only, The People. The Cathedral of Notre Dame is re-dedicated as a
Temple of Reason and its Christian altar is dismantled and an altar to Liberty is installed and
the inscription "To Philosophy" carved in stone over the cathedrals doors. Additionally, one of
the elemental tenets of this Cult came to be that Death is an eternal sleep. which of course
encouraged the, today dubbed: YOLO, You Only Live Once ideology and mentality....(=1
Cor 15:32) there indeed is nothing new under the sun (Eccl 1:9-10).
This Cult was inaugurated with a Festival of Reason, (whos goddess role was played by
a provocatively dressed woman), which many contemporary accounts reported as a "lurid",
"licentious" affair of scandalous "depravities".

26
8. {Cult of Reason Festival}

Later on, on November 23, the Paris Commune orders the closing of all churches and
places of worship in Paris. Nationally, by Easter 1794, few of Frances 40,000 churches
remained open. Many had been closed, sold, destroyed, or converted to other uses.

It is said that: the contemporary accounts about the Festival of Reason, -whether real or,
as some claim, embellished, galvanized anti-revolutionary forces and even caused many
dedicated Jacobins like Maximillien Robespierre to publicly separate themselves from the radical
Montagnard faction. Plus, the Cults rejection of the existence of a deity appalled the
rectitudinous Robespierre, who was known as "the Incorruptible", for his ascetic dedication to
his ideals. So in late 1793, he delivered a fiery denunciation of the Cult of Reason and of its
proponents and proceeded to give his own vision of proper Revolutionary religion. Belief in a
living god and a higher moral code, he said, were constant reminders of justice and thus
essential to a republican society.

Ironically/Twistedly enough, while proclaiming liberty, on February 5, 1794,


Robespierre lectures the Convention on the necessity for the Terror [Full Speech: Fre|Eng]: He
encapsulatingly says:

If the basis of popular government in time of peace is virtue, the basis of popular
government in time of revolution is both virtue and terror. Virtue without which terror is
murderous, terror without which virtue is powerless. ... The Government of the
Revolution is the despotism of liberty over tyranny.

Robespierre was coming to the conclusion that the ends justified the means, and that in
order to defend the Revolution against those who would destroy it, the shedding of blood was
justified. For him terror was nothing else than swift, severe, indomitable justice; it flows, then,
from virtue.

And while all of this virtuous terror is still going on, Robespierre makes some moves to
try to establish his manufactured, albeit more Christianity-like, religion. On May 7, 1794
Robespierre asks the Convention to decree that the French people recognize the existence of a
Supreme Being and the immortality of the soul, and to organize celebrations of the new cult.
(=The Cult of the Supreme Being). Compromisingly enough, Robespierre looked at the
Ancient Civilization of Greece and Rome and deemed that such key religious tenets seemed to
have served them well in regards to producing civic-mindedness and public virtue. Belief in a
living god and a higher moral code, he said, were "constant reminders of justice" and thus
essential to a republican society.
Then, as if the fabricator of new cult/religion wasnt enough for one mans ego to handle,
on June 4. Robespierre is unanimously elected president of the Convention.
So on June 8, 1794 the Festival of the Supreme Being, is celebrated, conducted by
Robespierre, in Paris Champ de Mars, with a massive "Altar of the Nation" built atop an

27
artificial mountain and surmounted by a tree of liberty. Beyond this national Festival, future
republican holidays were to be held every tenth daythe days of rest (~sabbaths) in the new
French Republican Calendar.

9. {Festival of the Supreme Being}


{Historical Event movie clip: Fre[02:07:08-02:09:54]
Eng[E4P7=02:12-03:11||E4P7=04:14-07:19]}

Interestingly enough about this chosen Champ de Mars location for this Festival of the
Supreme Being, [incidentally where presently the Eiffel Tower is] it is a religio-ideological
relative/descendant of the Mars Hill of the Bible, the Areopagus, mentioned in Acts 17:16-34
where Paul used the opening of an altar set up for the unknown God to try to introduce the
Greco-Roman Pagans there to the Creator, Righteousness and (Future)-Judging God. (Acts
17:24, 31)

Recap: So while the French Revolutionaries were scrambling, in-fighting and flailing to
bring about a religion to morally and virtuously oversee and guide their movement, the unshaken
Truth remained that Gods True Religion, the one Testifying of what a Righteous State and a
Pure&True Religion was, was still only to be found in the testimony of the Bible.

But not to be abated, indeed now enshrined as a fundamental tenet of the Revolutions
Official/State religion, the Reign of Terror still rages on in this aspired quest to squeeze/press
sweet virtue out of this thus far sour, and at best acquired-taste, domestically-bloody
Revolution:

June 10, 1794: Law of 22 Prairial - As the prisons are full, the Convention speeds up the trials of
those accused. Witnesses are no longer required to testify. From June 11 to July 27, 1,376
prisoners are sentenced to death, with no acquittals, compared with 1251 death sentences in the
previous fourteen months. The Convention also gives itself the exclusive right to arrest its own
members.

No doubt the eyes of the (Western) world was looking at France to see how this atheistic
and libertine experiment would turn out, and what it would produce on the other end, and thus
far, it was candidly more repugnant than attractive, and a testimony against itself.

Rev 11:5 - And if anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours
their enemies, that is if anyone might desire to harm them, it is necessary that in the same
manner he be put to death.

Fire proceeds from their mouth... - As it was discussed earlier, and also in the eschatological
post, this prophetic element is, in joint-part, taken from the episode in 2 Kgs 1 where an
apostasized King Ahaz, finding himself in trouble, sought to get a word from the priorly despised

28
and rejected prophet Elijah, and thought to order Elijah to provide him the answer he was
seeking. After Elijah demonstrated that there is (still) a Living and Almighty God in Heaven to
whom Ahaz and his army must also bow, ad be subject, to, Elijahs rebuking remonstrance to
Ahaz before telling him that he is still going to die is: Is it because there is no God in Israel to
inquire of His word that you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?
(2 Kgs 1:16). The other joint-part of this message is Jeremiahs prophesying that, despite what
people may say against, and persecutively do to, him, the apostasized, thought-to-be-holy,
city/entity of Jerusalem and its corrupted Temple would be destroyed as per the infallible Word
of God Himself. (Jer 1:9; 5:14)

French Revolution Fulfillment: It is said that The establishment of the Cult of the
Supreme Being represented the beginning of the reversal of the wholesale de-Christianization
process that had been looked upon previously with official favour. Clearly Robespierre saw that
there was not a viable future in a State/society devoted purely to Atheism, pointedly in order to
restrain and guide the natural immoral passions in men. But rather than turning to the Living God
and seeking what His principles are in His Word, Robespierre opted for the compromise of his
Christian-ish Deistic religion. But like Ahaz, he still pursued to wrong course, and this likewise
knowing and deliberate, and moreover pompously so, slighting of the Word of God would not
go unpunished.
As seen in 1 Kgs 18:21 and Rev 3:14-17ff God does not approve of a fence-straddling
and lukewarm religion.

harm them...it is necessary...same way - This was the core message of the prophesying
repentance warning message (Rev 11:3) of the Two Witness

French Revolution Fulfillment: What the French Revolution, led at its height by
Maximillien Robespierre had been endeavoring to do against the Word/Testimony of God would
be done against him and their Atheistic, later Paganistic Revolution. The Religion and the
virtuous Society that they/he were thus trying to extra-Biblically upbuild would be adjudged,
as seen fulfilled later at Rev 11:8. ....Fittingly a similar fate is also promised to the likewise
compromising (here parent-entity of) Babylon. (Rev 18)

Rev 11:6 - These have the authority to shut up heaven so that rain may not fall during the days
of their prophesy. They also have authority over the waters in order to turn them into blood
and (also) to smite the earth with every plague as often as/if they may desire.

shut up heaven - This is a statement that God would not be, even basically (Matt 6:45b), aiding
this unrighteous, blasphemous and idolatrous nation, made up of formerly professed believers
who were more willing to comply with the State-sponsored Atheistic agenda than hold on to their
Faith, to begin to prosper. Spiritually speaking, this lack of rain would bring about a famine of
both righteousness (Amos 5:24; cf. Matt 5:6) and of hearing from the word of God (Amos
8:11) and by this people will be constrain to, -as it was the case with Gods apostasied Israel, re-

29
examine their chosen course of unrighteous living. (=1 Kgs 8:35; Lev 26:19-20)

waters to blood - With waters being symbolic of peoples, even those that Babylon rules
over (Rev 17:15, 18), this can be understood as permitted, even/indeed terrorizing (Lev 26:16)
strife and bloodshed occurring amongst those who are persecuting and rejecting Gods Word and
His Two Witnesses.

smith with every plague - By refusing to acknowledge and obey God in order to let His people
go so that they could freely worship Him according to His Law and Word (Exod 5:1) Atheistic
Pharaoh/Egypt only attracted more plagues on their defiant nation.

French Revolution Fulfillment: By so barring the Bible and the free worship of the
Living God, Revolutionary France has positioned itself to suffer the judgements of God, even as
simply as God withdrawing His tempering Spirit and allowing the unrestrained passions of men
to reign. Between just the Reign of Terrors official, but wanton and summary, executions, and
just the civil war in the Vende, it is estimated that total of ca. 470,000 people lost their lives in
France.

Much like, as discussed in a point here, God, at the needed time, Himself, as He had
planned (Exod 4:21; 7:3-4), acted to harden Pharaohs heart before all of the 10 Judgement
Plagues had been poured out on Egypt, the quite manifest withdrawal of Gods Spirit from
Revolutionary France, leaving people to fully act out their various immoral passions served as an
object lesson to all (as also later would Soviet-style Atheist Communism), of what happens to a
society that is devoid of any Biblical and Judeo-Christian principles, values and morals. Neo-
Babylon, (i.e. the lamb-seeming but dragon-like speaking United States (Rev 13:11ff)), the
apostasy step/phase just before the explicitly Sodom&Egypt debacle of an Atheistic Society
has lukewarmly put such a similar outcome in its largely ungodly society on slow-burn, but, as
promised in Rev 18, God Himself will judge her to expose her core corruption and awhoring
shame to all.
Satan, =the dragon, doesnt mind if he deceives people either through the use of an
outright Atheistic and Libertine society as fully done in Revolutionary France, or, in order to
dupe lukewarm, righteousness-lax and half-baked Christians, the spuriously-false Christianity
guise of World-Harlot Babylon. (Rev 17)

Rev 11:7 - And whenever they shall have completed their testimony, the beast which is coming
up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

whenever they shall have completed - As stated above in Rev 11:3, the prophetic testifying of
the Two Witnesses for a viable State and Society was effectively silenced, thus ended with the
passing of the Law of Suspects on Sept. 17, 1793. And from then on, with no one daring to utter
words of dissent and reproof, unless at the penalty of their lives, Revolutionary France openly
devolved into a atheistic and decadent (i.e. Cult of Reason), paganistic (i.e. Cult of the

30
Supreme Being) and blood-shedding (i.e. Reign of Terror) society.

beast from the abyss - As discussed priorly in the historical exposition of this verse, this beast
involves Satan coming up out of the place where he was imprisoned because he now has people
to deceive. Well in Revolutionary France, Satan certainly had a country (=a beast) with
Atheistically and Licentiously fully opened hosts that he can unhinderedly sway the passions of.
Despite the incorporation of Paganism in Catholicism, they themselves had not made such an
open and devoted invitation to be ruled by Satan. But Revolutionary France did, and Satan
certainly seized this opportunity, pointedly to introduce his post-modern ideology in what had
thus far been (especially in the Western World) a more or less Christian Dominion.

kill them - As stated just above, whenever the witness, and the opportunity for a witness based
on the Bible was silenced in France, Gods Two Witnesses indeed came to be overcomed and
killed. Thus officially on Sept. 17, 1793.

French Revolution Fulfillment: However a further understanding can be made here. As


stated earlier about the (oddly) indefinite term whenever, it is not speaking of a definitely
known ending, but indeed at an indefinite date. This would seem to be odd if this ending is
understood to come at the end of the 1260 days time period, which, as discussed earlier at Rev
11:3, ended (plus 1 day) on Sept. 17, 1793 with the passing of the radical Law of Suspects. But
implicating the predictive themes/imagery of: overcoming, war/warring and a warring
ending as a killing death, it would seem most fitting that the ensuing ending of the protracted,
12+ Battle, most detrimental (i.e. 450,000 deaths), religio-civil war against the anti-revolutionary
Catholic and Royal Army in the Vende Region of France, in December of 1793, can be seen
as this indefinite war-killing ending of any opportunity for any degree of Biblical witness to be
made against this by then deeply Satanic Country of Revolutionary France.
So really, the overcoming and killing end of the Two Witnesses testimony can to its
(indefinite) a little beyond the (definite) 1260-day time allowed for their testifying and
prophesying occurred in that December 1793 resolution of the Vende anti-revolution War.

Rev 11:8 - And their dead body will lie on the street of the Great City, whichever one causes
itself to Spiritually be called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

their dead body on the street of the Great City - As discussed earlier in the Historical
exposition for Rev 11:8, this Great City is incontrovertibly, i.e. as symbol-interpreted by the
Bible, Babylon itself. They however are merely the parent entity here. The statement here
specifies exactly the type of quarter in that Great City where this slaying of Gods Two Witnesses
will focally occur.

causes itself to be called S&E - Of course, by its open Atheism and Sexual Libertinism,
Revolutionary France came to be the pointed area in Babylonian Christendom which clearly
fulfilled these prophetic elements. As discussed earlier, the parent Great City Babylon had

31
similar issues of apostasy towards God and His Word, but their apostasy was more veiled and
cloaked, whereas Frances stance was openly naked.

where their Lord was crucified - =Heb 13:11-14 = the place just outside of the city gates of
Jerusalem, where deemed/adjudged criminals were executed. Historically Babylon, i.e the
Roman Catholic Church, had made the Bible seem to be a dangerous, thus criminal, book. (Much
like Apostate&Capitalist Protestantism (=Neo-Babylon) is currently doing so, leading people to
deem the Bible as an evil book). And so the Word of God was made to be treated as such by
Revolutionary France. The Bible & Christianity was summarily outlawed, cast out and
executed....

Historical-Eschatological Culmination of the Two Witnesses Prophecy

So, as introductorily expounded on earlier, as organizationally structured in the Interlude


Prophecies in Revelation, midway through Rev 11:8 the priorly unfolding Historical fulfillment
of the Two Witnesses prophecies, starting in 538 A.D. and involving the Great City Babylon,
the Roman Catholic Church, was seamlessly halted and a recursive Eschatological Application of
Rev 11:1-8 came to occur now focusing on what more advancedly took derivedly place in
Revolutionary France. And whereas the prophetic time elements of the 42 months (Rev 11:2)
and the 1260 days (Rev 11:3) were fulfilled according to the 1 prophetic day = 1 literal year
Biblical interpretive principle in the Historical Application, these time periods were to be literally
applied as stated in the Eschatological Application in the French Revolution.

But at this point, starting at Rev 11:9 these two paths of fulfillment of Rev 11:1-8, the
Historical and the Eschatological come to virtually converge as all eyes, from Catholics to
Protestants abroad cant help but turn to France to see what will become of this radical anti-
Christianity/Bible stance. So from here on, pointedly in Rev 11:9-10, the joint application to both
the Historical and the Eschatological fulfillments will be given showing how they apply to the
wider conflict of Protestants against the Catholic Church and the Biblical-Theists/Christians in
France who were upholding the Bible as they best knew, against the Revolutionary
Atheists/Pagans.
And in this joint-fulfilment, the year-day principle once again comes to be applied to
both waves of fulfillment.

Rev 11:9 - And those out of the peoples, tribes, tongues and nations will glance at their dead
body for 3.5 days, however they will not abandon their dead bodies in order for them to be laid
into a tomb.

those out of - This speaks of a called out group, i.e. a church as it came to be the case for the
New Covenant Church....

the peoples, tribes, tongues and nations - This special expression speaks of the base/realm over

32
which Harlot Babylon has managed to overrulingly, Imperially reign (Rev 13:7; 17:1, 15) (as
done in the Holy Roman Empire); nonetheless, from this realm God is still able to reach in (cf.
Rev 10:11; 14:6) and call out a Remnant. (Rev 5:9; 7:9; cf. 13-14).
So Historically, and more widely, this applies to the Protestant Movement that was
called out from under the realm of Harlot Babylon, and Eschatologically, and more focally, this
applies to the People in Revolutionary France who came to separate themselves from the
imposed Atheistic&Paganistic Ideology to return to the Bible and Christianity in the form of their
relatively more Biblical Belief System of their prior Roman Catholic Faith.

glance at...not abandon...not lay in tombs their dead bodies - Like the disciples who
enduringly held on their faith despite Jesus having been arrested, condemned, crucified and
buried, these called out Remnant groups will not abandon their faith in the God, the Bible and
Christianity.
So Historically, Protestants did courageously adhere to the Bible despite the 1260 years
of deadly Papal oppression and persecution towards Biblical Christians; and Eschatologically,
many people continued to, however secretly so, hold on to their Biblical faith until, eventually,
people in France came to a sobering realization that the outlawing of Christianity and the Bible
was the wrong course to take and a move was made to allow a return to, at the very least, not
making it and the Bible outlawed.

glance at - =Greek blepo (Strongs #991)- this is not a closely


examining/perceiving/discerning/view-theorizing look (Greek theoreo -Strongs #2334; e.g.
Rev 11:11), but merely a glance, but nonetheless an interested look.

...not to be laid in tomb - If dead bodies are not allowed to be laid in tombs, it is manifestly
because those not allowing so are expecting that they will eventually resurrect. And also by
merely glancing at these bodies, instead of more closely examining/observing/view-
theorizing at/into them.
So if any resurrecting, as anticipated, is to occur with them, i.e. the Biblical/Prophetic
Testimony, it will be because even those paying attention to it, will have understood in advance
that this would occur, though they would have been looking forward to such a development.
But it still will be in an unexpected way, despite the preserving measures that they would have
taken to allow for this resurrection event to take place.

for 3.5 days - Four days is considered the extreme time limit of senses-bearability, -especially in
terms of smell (cf. John 11:39), for a, especially outdoor openly lying, dead body, which by then
would be in advanced stages of decomposition, thus unpreservingly corrupt, and with no part of
it then being salvageable for contributing to life, -thus deemed to be wholly/totally dead...So 3.5
days was really cutting it close just in terms of being able to, merely naturally, salvage any
part of this dead body (i.e. as (vitally-inherently or indifferently dishonest & patently both
scientifically and Biblically-ignoramus) atheists/anti-theists/skeptics/agnostics like to smugly
patronizingly say: the good parts of the Bible. -[the whole of the Bible, itself (i.e. exegetically
interpreted, accurately divided, properly understood and rightly applied), is, like its

33
contributing and overseeing God: Good (cf. Luke 18:19ff|DA 518.3), i.e. (and unlike
trial&erroring/failing, selfishly-self-preserving, unbelievers), conducive to, and protective of:
(conceived/born) life (including the glibly, mischievously and/or lyingly (=John 8:44) mal-
translated/construed Num 5:11-31) and abundantly so (John 10:10), which is contrary to the
moronic Satanic culture of: (immediate or inevitably eventual) pain, death and selfishness which
Babylon, then France, served to inflict and unleash onto the world]....And restoring the full
body to back whole life after this would definitely take a Super-Natural miracle. So would the
power and glory of God (cf. John 11:40) be manifested at the end of this time period??!
This 3.5 day prophetic period is very close to another time period expressed in
Revelation, at Rev 12:14 of ~3.5 times. That verse involves how God protectively (cf. Exod
19:4; Deut 32:11) acts to lead his persecuted ones to a physical refuge. Rev 12:14 is also
thematically related to the 1260 day period as seen from Rev 12:6 which likewise speaks of
Gods nourishing care for His wilderness banished entity. As already seen, the 1260 day period
pointedly refers to the Ecclesiastical/Church/Elijah witness, and with the 3.5 times being a period
of persecution (Dan 7:25; 12:9), but which is just under the time period of 42 months which
involves full-blown, State-borne warring (Rev 13:3). So the effective amalgamation of all of
these elements as: 3.5 days, can be interpreted to be expected to fulfill as a period when God
has provided a refuge from persecutions for his faithful ones, namely here, His Two Witnesses,
and manifestly eventhough they are still lying there dead....

Historical and Eschatological fulfillments - Indeed these two paths of fulfilment come
to converge at this point, i.e. in what was culminatingly unfolding in France.
The turning point in the French Revolution occurred in an series of coup dtat incidents
which have come to be called the Thermidorian Reaction. It was crystalizingly triggered when,
on July 26, 1794, the then President of the Revolutionary Government Maximillien Robespierre
gave a violent 2 hour-long speech at the Convention, demanding, without naming them, the
arrest and punishment of conspiring "traitors" in the Committees of Public Safety/Welfare and
General Security. It surely didnt help that Robespierre ironically enough railed against the
bloody excesses he had observed during the Terror, thus effectively putting the blame on others
for this than, as deserved, he himself. And given the way in which these committees had been
authorized to summarily act against any such suspected person, and since Robespierre had not
given any names (probably because he couldnt with evidence), the members of the Convention
became fearful that any of them could be declared Suspects and thus be arrested and summarily
put to death, without condemning evidence or any, or an extensive, trial (e.g. not allowing for all
witnesses to testify). So they therefore saw the effectively widely accusing Robespierre himself
as the threat, and they therefore self-preservatingly turned against him and, later upon deliberated
pondering, called for his own arrest and execution....

{Historical Event movie clip: Fre[02:13:57-02:19:21ff]//Eng[E4P8=01:35-08:21ff]}

....and that is exactly what capitally happened to Robespierre (along with 21 of his closest
associates) on July 28, 1794, and then other allies of his in Paris on July 29 [3]3

It is said that:

For historians of revolutionary movements, the term Thermidor has come to mean the
phase in some revolutions when power slips from the hands of the original revolutionary
leadership and a radical regime is replaced by a more conservative regime, sometimes to
the point where the political pendulum may swing back towards something
resembling a pre-revolutionary state.

Well from then on, while France did not swing back to re-establishing a Monarchy, in
matters of Religion and the Church (=the Elijah Witness), gradual changes and actions were
taken to allow for a free-willed return to ones prior Christian belief and practice if they so
wanted to, as seen in the following timeline events:

1794
September 18, 1794: The Convention stops paying officially-sanctioned (i.e. jurist) priests and
stops maintaining church properties.

1795
February 17: An amnesty granted to former Venden rebels restoring freedom of religion.
February 21: On a proposal by (Calvinist) Boissy d'Anglas, the Convention proclaims
freedom of religion and the separation of church and state and legalizing public worship,
(albeit with strict limitations. The ringing of church bells, religious processions and displays of
the Christian cross were still forbidden).

So these paradigm shifting events, in the sudden, and most ironic, uprising against
Maximillien Robespierre on July 26, 1794, followed the next day by vote by the French
Convention to arrest him on July 27, 1794, and ending in his execution on July 28, 1794, and
which came to be an end to the Reign of Terror (with, also ironically, a White Terror to later
arise between February 2-June 27, 1795 against those who had been associated with the Reign
of Terror, with the seeds of this reaction having started to be planted on August 1, 1794 with the
series of political arrests right upon that coup against the Robespierre regime), and which
gradually allowed for a return back to a freedom of religion and worship is seen as the
beginnings of the 3.5 prophetic day = 3 literal years.[4]4 ...The case for a definite date of
precisely one these three candidates will be made later.

It may be objectingly asked/claimed, that this period of 3.5 prophetic days when a
remnant people will be looking at the killed/dead bodies of the Two Witnesses should have
begun right upon their killing, which has been shown earlier at Rev 11:3 to be when the Law of
Suspects had been passed on September 17, 1793 which began the Reign of Terror. Or even, as
explained earlier at Rev 11:7, when the war against the Catholic and Royal Army of the rebels in

35
the Vendee Region of France was final ended in December 1793. But as the prophetic statement
here in Rev 11:9 only specifies how long for the called out remnant people will be glancingly
looking at the dead bodies of the Two Witnesses. In order words, the bodies of these killed
witnesses may have lied there for a while before that emerged remnant would have begun to pay
glancingly attention to them.
According to the understanding here, this is indeed what specifically happened. Perhaps it
was the chilling effect of the Law of Suspect and the Reign of Terror which led even up to then
adherents of the Bible and Christianity to now not even dare appear to be faithful followers. So in
those 10 months since Sept 17, 1793 (or the ca. 6-7 months since the war end of Dec 1793) till
the ending of the Reign of Terror these (secret) Christian adherents now did not even dare to
seem to be interested in anything Biblical or Christian thing, but starting from the watershedding
events of July 26-28, 1794, they increasingly became free to do so. Indeed the formal decision on
February 17/21, 1795 to allow for the Freedom of Religion and Worship most likely came from
an increasing populace returning back to Christianity which just had to be democratically
recognized by the French Government.
So the 3.5 days do indeed start on July 26-28, 1794 [5]5 ...

Rev 11:10 - But the ones dwelling upon the earth will rejoice over them and will celebrate and
they will send gifts to one another because these two prophets tortured the ones dwelling upon
the earth.

the ones dwelling upon the earth - This clearly cannot be literalistically referring to all of the
inhabitants of the world as Rev 11:9 just above has stated that many will be respectfully looking
at these dead bodies. So the Spiritual definition of Jesus in John 15:18-19, 17:14-16; is to be
distinguishingly applied here showing that these earth dweller are those who are of this
world/age, i.e. worldings....and what set these ones apart from the world is: the Truth in/of
the Word of God (John 17:17)!!
So either non-Bible believers, (or applicably even Bible-Believers who do not actually
have/understand the Truths of Gods Word, fall into this hatefully (John 15:18-19) oppositional
camp. Cf. in this post at Ezek 39:24 in relation to the present (post-1844 Eschatological) wave of
application.)

rejoice and celebrate over them... - Clearly this group is happy about the fate of the Two
Witnesses. But from the drastically contrasting reaction in Rev 11:9 versus the one here,
moreover given that the faithful ones in the prior verse have enough authority and power to
prevent the death-sealing act of burying the Two Witnesses, all demonstrate that some degree of
religious freedom, both for and against the Bible and Christianity, has indeed by now come to be
the state of accepted public policy.

tortured the earth dwellers - This involves compelling these worldlings to confess to the Truth.
This was really a self-inflicted torturing as Revolutionary France painfully learned from their
Atheistic and Paganistic State, Religion and Society experiment. But as this is just as the Bible

36
had been testifying and prophesying would happen, then these worldlings are here doing the
patent reactionary thing of rebels against God Word of blasphemously faulting and blaming
God for not having more clearly warned them of the consequences of them rebelling against Him
and His Word...and all the while, while vexatiously choosing not to repent. (Cf. Rev 16:21:;
9:20-21). As indeed patently typical, they are rather incensed that God would ever enter into
judgement against them.

send gifts... - The term gifts here Greek: doron (Strongs #1435) has the specific connotation of
a religious offering (e.g. Matt 5:23; 23:18-19; Heb 9:9). It is related to the Greek: doma
(Strongs #1390) which specifically refers to presents (e.g. Matt 7:11|Luke 11:13) as both of
these terms are derived from the same verbal term give Greek: didomi (Strongs #1325). Doma
speaks of the initiative granting of something of worth, but doron involves the paying up of
something that is due, indeed just as in religious offerings.
So here these worldlings are duly sending religious like offering to others throughout the
Earth who like them are rejoicing over this demise of this Testimony of God in His Word.
Clearly this offering fuels/seals/validates their euphoric reaction. It therefore is contributive to
their celebratory happy state of mind. Thus, as is involved in the present of the Holy Spirit by
Christ in Eph 4:8 (=Psa 68:18), this religious due offering exchange is a communicating of
spirits, as in a meeting of the minds, as in the necessary sharing of a common ideology.
Therefore it can be seen that these worldlings are here celebrating because they believe
that, despite their own recent setbacks their movement of defiant opposition to the word of God
is still successful. And while they may have allowingly recognized that the Bible should be
allowed to be freely used by some as a moral guide from them which can be of benefit to society
in general, they clearly do not see any reason to also do so themselves.

French Revolution Fulfillment: So this here is speaking of the founded secular


humanism ideology of Revolutionary France that is still being heralded by some (worldly-
minded) people. And this is in an open taunt to the Bible, which they themselves deem to be a
dead letter, just as they had deemed for their opposition movement.
Indeed the Secularism, Atheism and Libertinism which France engendered then in their
late-18th century Revolution, would remain and increasingly spread the throughout like-minded,
-so-called Free Thinker, people throughout the rest of the world. [Indeed starting even in 1798,
with an attempt in Switzerland to emulate the Secular Republic of France for their Helvetic
Republic]

Seventh Series
At this point in the Interlude, -as shown in the organizational charting, the next 3(+1)
verses (Rev 11:11-13, 14) are part of the Seventh Series of that Interlude. As with the other main
Seventh Series in the book of Revelation, this is the point where a Seven Events Series is finally
resolved, patently with the direct Supernatural intervention of God. So this is what is to be
expected here in these upcoming prophesied denouements in regards to the ordeal of the Two
Witnesses.

37
Rev 11:11 - But after the 3.5 days a breath of life from God came into them, and they stood
(established) upon their feet; and a great fear fell upon the ones who were observing them.

But after the 3.5 days - The completed reckoning of the 3.5 days will be given at the beginning
of Rev 11:13, and as already explained in Rev 11:9, it had started between July 26-28, 1794,
therefore, by simple reckoning it can be see that the 3.5 days = 3.5 years ended between
January 25-27, 1798, but this verse is now stipulating that these statements are to take place
after this time period has run out. So after this endpoint date.

a breath of life from God - This is the Supernatural/Divine Intervention element.

stood (established) upon their feet - First of all, as explained here, this standing is not one of
mere posture position, but more deeply a notion of being established.

With these elements of: dead and unburied bodies on the ground; a breath of life from
God; standing on their feet , it can be exegetically seen that Ezekiels Vision of the Dry Bones in
Ezek 37:1-14 is here being alluded to. As understood from that vision, it is a representation of
the armies of the seemingly soundly defeated and dead Israel of God, both the Northern Kingdom
Israel and the Southern Kingdom Judah. (=Ezek 37:11) But God commands Ezekiel to
prophesy the word of the Lord on this fallen army (Ezek 37:4). This breath of life from God
is to come from one of the Four Winds (Ezek 37:9), and Rev 7:1-3 and 20MR 269.2; ML
308.1-5 prophetically show that these Four Winds represent various forms of calamities, and
also strife which themselves are actuated in the unrestrained passions of men, as seen in various
shades of war. And the result on this resurrection is the reconstitution of an exceedingly great
army. (Ezek 37:10) As this breath of Life from God is actually Gods Spirit (Ezek 37:14),
then it can be figured out that what produces this resurrection is a Divine Spiritual perceiving and
understanding of what is produced by one of the Four Winds being made to blow.

Really the only major and striking substantive/thematic difference between the imagery of
Ezekiels Dry Bone and the Two Witnesses is that the bodies of the Two dead Witnesses here
have not decomposed to bare bones as had the defeated army of Israel. This is naturally reflective
of how relative recently the Two Witnesses had suffered their deadly blow, and how God more
immediately acted to rescue them, i.e. before their dead bodies decomposed and rotted, unlike
Israel and Judah who were allowed to be dead for a long time before God stepped in to overturn
their fate. The Southern Kingdom had its resurrection upon their return from their 70-year
Babylonian Captivity; and it can be seen that in the Gospel going out to Gentile People on top of
Jews starting from the First Century A.D. Advent of Christ, the Northern Kingdom had its, at
least Spiritual, resurrection. It is that Gentile Kingdom which went on to form the major part of
the New Testament Church, but which eventually devolved into the Spiritual Babylon apostasy,
which here had contributed to the infliction of this deadly blow to the Two Witnesses who were
trying to reform them. So in the resurrecting of those Two Witnesses, God would be able to
revive the True Testimony which would reform His Spiritually dead Israel. That is, both the

38
Southern realm, which can be seen as the Moses (=Law) Witness, and the Northern realm,
which can be seen as the Elijah (=Church) Witness.

great fear fell...those observing them - Unlike the mere glancing stipulated in Rev 11:9, here
a deeper looking is involved, a look with perceiving/understanding, thus from an observation
(=Greek theoreo -Strongs #2334). So those who get it here, with the result of fear falling upon
them, are not those who had been merely, even passingly, but respectfully, glancing at those
Two dead Witnesses, and had not been permitted them to be buried, but those who went much
deeper, and had been observing them. So it can be understood that they had stood by those dead
bodies for those 3.5 days to observe them, and now they witnessed their resurrection.

French Revolution Fulfillment: In short, this verse is speaking of those in both France
and in the wider world, who had returned to paying attention to the Bible pointedly at this point
after the apogee of the French Revolution had been reached, and of those, the ones who engaged
in deeper Bible studies now observed the Word of God coming back to life and in the manifest
prophesying of a coming major/pivotal confrontation and conflict upon the Earth.
In regards to events leading up to these culminating dates of January 25-27, 1798, the
SDA Christian historical researcher Leroy E. Froom did a great job of documenting various
bible/prophecy expositors of that time who were seeing from their renewed study of the Bible
impelled by the seeming apocalyptic developments that had been going on in France with its,
Spiritually-concerning, Atheistic & Libertine Revolution and the ensuing ruthless and bloody
Reign of Terror, and they were variously seeing/understanding that the Papacy was surely soon to
fall, and that France would likely be the power which brings about this Fall. See detailing in
Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers Vol 2:741.2-747.2 (Original Book) [6]6
And do most significantly note the irony of all of these key developments in this
prophetic time period of these 3.5 days=years, pointedly as is was prophesied to be involved in
Rev 11:6:

(1) Maximillien Robespierre had set out to achieve virtue, i.e. the quality of doing what is
right [a.k.a. righteousness] and avoiding what is wrong, not by allowing the principles in the
Word of God (which are not always in concordance with the teaching and traditions of the
Catholic Religion), but instead by deliberately having set it, and its Christianity (cf. John 1:1-3)
aside, [i.e. for his humanistic Cult of the Supreme Being], and culminating in the institution of
his Virtuous Terror, and his own measures ended up executing him...

(2) France in general had set out to replace the Word of God as being dead and obsolete, and now
they were unwittingly being set up to act in fulfillment of its long predicted, major prophetic
event, even as the coopted (=Isa 46:11a) army of the Israel of God.

(3) And even more widely in these Rev 11 developments, the Roman Catholic Church had
effectively made null and void the Word of God, and persecutively put to death anyone who
would preach it pure and unadulterated by mans opinion/wisdom, and now the Word of God
was being fulfilling towards dealing to it a widely-witnessed deadly blow.

39
And this is all what careful students of the Bible and its prophecy could, and indeed were,
beginning to perceive and figure out. As thee 3.5 years kept progressing, the faith of such Bible
students in the Bible could confidently grow. These are the prophesied observing ones who
came to fearfully see that the Word of God was coming to life, and, like the alluded to resulting
exceedingly great army in Ezekiels Vision, Gods word (cf. Rev 19:15), was due to bring
about an earthshaking development, -which would really/indeed have to be of militaristic
proportions.

Rev 11:12 - And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying to them: Come up here! And they
ascended into heaven in the cloud and their enemies observed them.

great voice out of Heaven - This is the (audible) Voice of God which patently shakes the
heavens and/or the Earth (-discussed here); such as with the shaking of the powers of Europe.
(EW 41.1-2). When God makes His Voice audibly heard from Heaven, it is because He is about
to effectuate a major shift in the affairs of Earth, or even in Heaven (=Spiritual Matters). (Heb
12:26-27)

Come up here - This echoes what had been stated in Rev 4:1ff, after the fate of the First
Century Seven Churches had been observed (Rev 2-3). As in Rev 4:1, this involves God about to
show/reveal to His prophetic envoys what is to take place after these things. What follows in
Rev 4:1ff is a revelation of what God would work to accomplish during the now post-First
Century prolonged time of Church History. Of course the prophecy of the Seven Churches in Rev
2-3 also come to have a (Spiritual) refulfillment in Church History.
So likewise here, this Come up here instruction comes at the ending the Christian
Churchs Historical development, which it has failed, even managing to cause injury to the
Truthful Word/True Witnesses of God, but from this point here, God plans to reveal what is to
next take place in His actions to repair and restore what had been damaged by Babylon and
AntiChrist in Church History.

they ascended into heaven in the cloud - Only two people in the Bible ascended into heaven in
a cloud, Elijah (2 Kgs 2:9-12) and Jesus (Acts 1:9). Both were taken up however without having
completed their intended prophetic mission on Earth. This task was left for others to fulfilled.
And so, answering the question which ended the commentary on Rev 11:11 above, though the
Word of God had prophesied that a militaristic earthshaking event in favor of His Witnesses
would take place, it would not be an army of them who would take the field.

their enemies observed them - The enemies of the Two Witnesses were now, in the light of this
miraculous witness, looking at them with perception and understanding. They would therefore
have some comprehension into what their message and prophesy was about. They would here
been seen as Gods True Witnesses, and others who are not like them as apostates and impostors.

French Revolution Fulfillment: Though Revolutionary France by now in 1797-98 had

40
come to grant that the Bible and Christianity should be unbanned, thus allowed to live and
function, they had an ongoing issue of difference with the Roman Catholic Church and its
Papacy. Although they had come to an understanding on February 19, 1797 in the Peace Treaty
of Tolentino, =(averting a probable overthrowing of the Papal Government by France). Though,
(as related in the works of e.g. Pastor (pp.325-330ff)||Duppa (pp.6-10ff)||Bourgoing (pp.319-
326ff)||Baldassari (pp.134-143ff)), great tensions between the Papacy and France still remained.
Manifestly this all basically stemmed from the overall policy of France continuing to be towards
the secularization of the State/Government. This was more a pragmatic policy than an ideological
one, as, in the late summer of 1797, on September 3-4, the revolutionaries in the French
Government, had, the 18 Fructidor Coup executed a pre-emptive purge against suspected
conspiratorial pro-Royalist, and Catholic Church-endorsed, factions in the government which
they said were trying to overturn the revolution and reestablish the monarchy. This rift came to
revive the earlier persecutive and marginalizing measures taken against certain suspects,
pointedly within the leadership of the Catholic Church. This time around however, there were no
penalties of executions, but rather, so-dubbed dry guillotine, expulsions and banishments of
these clergymen from France to harsh (especially for them) French-jurisdictional/territorial
locations elsewhere in the world.[7]7 This all came to a head in mid-November 1797 when then
the Military Chief Napoleon, of his own discretionary initiative, threatened the Pope with war
and the invasion of Rome. (See the following related official communiques of Napoleon on this
issue: #2365 (pp.583-584)||#2366 (pp.584-585)||#2371 (pp.587-589)). And it can be seen that
from then, in the subsequent various government initiated and sanctioned subversive actions
against the temporal rule of the Papacy, that France had resolved to, by whatever actionable
excuse/reason, and whatever biting and achievable measure, to one day, and the sooner the better,
overthrow the Papal Rule/Government in Rome....And by late-December 1797, they had their
actionable excuse/reason...

secondary but researched/sourced historical accounts (themselves based on and/or citing
primary sources) with a brief, hyperlinked, bibliography given in this Note #8[8]8 [As the
account of Jules Gendry from his 1906 biography of Pope Pius VI is comprehensively detailed,
and robustly primarily sourced, -citing many unpublished contemporary documents from the
Secret Vatican Archives [cf. this documentary], of all of the cited works in this supplied mini

As related e.g. here|here|here, an anti-French riot broke out in Rome on December 27,
1797. But what is commonly not mentioned as a, actually inciting, background to this riot is that
it was actually deliberately instigated by the calculated provocative actions of the French
Ambassador in Rome Joseph Bonaparte [also significantly enough, the (older) brother of
Napoleon Bonaparte, who of course then was the Commander-in-Chief (under the French
Directory) of the French Military], enjoined by French General Mathurin-Lonard Duphot, who
was at the command of an agitator squad/troops sent directly by the Directory in Paris. And so,

41
and for a while now, they had been engaging in continual pro-Republican Revolution parties in
their Palace of Sora (which was only ca. 400 feet from the (Counter Reformation) Chiesa Nouva
Catholic Church, and less than a mile from the Vatican) inviting all of the political malcontents,
partisans of new/revolutionary ideas and enemies of the pontifical government. Relatedly, earlier
in December, France had taken actions which had violated part of their terms in the Treaty of
Tolentino by having allowed Polish troops enrolled by France, and their allied Cisalpine
Republic, to occupy the small Republic of Saint-Lon. So France was variously acting to spark a
populace, anti-Papal Government uprising in Rome, and through even bribing means. And they
had December 27 circled on their calender to try to achieve this popular revolutionary
insurrection.
As that attempt failed that night, they decided to try again the next night: December 28,
1798. Incitive cheer of Long Live Liberty; Long Live Equality; Long Live the French
Republic and Long Live the Roman Republic were used...and...fast-forwarding to the plot...a
riot ended up breaking out, and during the scuffling, General Duphot, -who (some other accounts
say/claim) had just been merely injured by a gunshot, was murderously dispatched with papal
bayonets (Froom 2:751n10; note 10 source). News of the riot and murder was written up, (some
[rightly] say (e.g. Baldassari 158-159): exaggeratingly/distortingly so, -and for calculated
inciting purposes), then sent to France, by Ambassador Joseph Bonaparte (after he had left
Rome to relocate in Florence, Italy [ca. 179 miles away]) on January 1, 1798, (Gendry,
p.289n1), along with an apology that the Pope, Pius VI, had issued the next day (December 29).
Manifestly these communications reached Frenchs (5-member executive/governing committee
called) The Directory in Paris (some 858 miles away) manifestly between January 8-10, but it is
said that: its effect on the Directory in particular was like a spark in a barrel of gunpowder.
Moreover newspaper publishing caused the population to also join in on the outcry. The Popes
apology did not help as it was misconstrued as the Papacy taking responsibility for the murder.
So they proceeded to direct their Military Commander-in-Chief Napoleon Bonaparte, who had
recently returned to Paris in late December, to not merely send a military contingent to Rome to
punish those responsible, but to also depose the Pope, abolish the Papacy (i.e. do not allow the
College of Cardinals to elect a new Pope), and convert Rome into a Roman Republic. [Looks like
they had their justifying 9/11 Event for their long desired pontifical regime change in Rome.]

12. {Map of 18th Century Italy and its Various Republics/Kingdoms}

So Napoleon set out to execute that Directive: He issued an Order, and detailing
instructions in a January 11, 1798 correspondence [#2404 pp.626-631] [9]9 to his General, and
good friend, Louis-Alexandre Berthier, who, (according to Gendry p.290.1a), would be starting
his march from Rimini, Italy [10]10 -which was ca. 721 miles away from Paris. In these war
plans, Napoleon is clear to tell Berthier to keep his ultimate Papal Overthrow and Roman
Republic intentions secret (as well as the military contingents march towards Rome (I guess as
much as secret as possible because that secret advance became evidently well known/seen,
including by those in Rome. In fact it is said that some people from the villages and towns that
they were passing by would engage them in minor oppositional skirmishes; no doubt easily
figuring out what ca. 13,000 French soldiers marching towards Rome were going to do. [Another

42
3,000 Italian+4,000 Polish=7,000 soldiers were to remain stationed in Rimini as readied
reinforcement if necessary, especially if Naples joined the fight])), and to use lies and deceptive
reassurances whenever needed....which is exactly what Berthier did throughout.
Beyond just trying, through this, to lessen any opposition from troops in Rome, Napoleon
was concerned about the recent rebellious opposition he was getting from the king of the
Kingdom of Naples, King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies, who had approached himself to the
imperiled Papal Government. Napoleon was concerned that King Ferdinand would join in the
fight on the otherwise militarily very weak Papacys side, and an actual/real and protracted war
would then break out. So earlier on that same day, he also wrote a correspondence [#2403 #624-
625] to his General Guillame Brune and clearly instructed him to go to Naples and, in no
uncertain terms, make it known to the King of Naples what would be the consequence if he chose
to side and fight with/for the Papacy. In short: there would be war with the Kingdom of Naples,
(along with his joint territory of the Kingdom of Sicily),and that would most likely be terrible for
King Ferdinand)....

As an overview point of reference and clarifying illustration, the following is a charting


of various mentioned details (i.e. in Gendrys account [pp.290-292] and Napoleons
Order+Instructions [pp. 626-631]) about this march of the French Military Contingent
towards/upon Rome. Its #1-#9 main entries will be expounded upon, as necessary, in further
detail in the ensuing discussing.

D. {Dated Itinerary of Berthiers Military March on Rome (1798)}

First of all, #1: going by the fact that Gendry mentions the start of Berthiers march just
before a dated mention of January 16, 1798, and corroborating information about General
Berthier from a January 24, 1798 responding correspondence [#2410 p.637] by Napoleon where
he is pleased to hear that Berthier had set out in his march towards Rome, as Napoleon letter
had been written, and likely also dispatched on January 11, 1798 and 13 days later he was
responding to a response he had gotten about it, then the midpoint date between these
correspondence of ca. January 16, 1798 does indeed seem to be the date when Berthier and his
contingent began this march.

An overarchingly key factor here is that Napoleon had told Berthier to march at a forced
pace. With the normative human walking speed being ca. 3.1 mph, it can be assumed that a
militarys normal marching pace who are carrying personal packs, supply stock and weapons
would be slightly slower than that, perhaps around 2.0 mph, but a forced march would tick that
rate up back around slightly over 2.5 mph. So a rate of 2.65 mph seems to be proper here.
Napoleon jointly ordered Berthier to march in long days, thus perhaps around10-12
hours of walking per day, instead of a normative 8 hours.
As seen in the charting about, these factors are verified when used in conjunction with the
various known dates of arrival [=dates in navy blue-bold] at some stops: I.e. normative full days
of 12 hours of walking.

43
Now summarizingly stating the traveling of this itinerary:

-Upon starting off from Rimini, Berthier divided his contingent in two colonies. One was to go, -
effectively ahead, southward from Rimini through the Furlo Pass and then through Perugia
towards their preliminary destination of Foligno [=a 112 mile route] where they were going to
(manifestly: wait for) meet up with the second colony, in which Berthier was.

#2-#4: Berthiers (and his second) colony would #2 first head southeastward towards Ancona,
[=62 miles] -as instructed by Napoleon where Berthier would complete his ordered total
marching troop number of 13,000. Then, as Napoleon told him, as soon as he had had enough
men in Ancona, including the force which was to remain there, he was to #3 set out towards
Rome. Berthier would go further southeast on the road towards Loreto, Marche [=16 miles], and
then #4 turn westward towards the meet up of Foligno [=69 miles]

Having met up there with the first colony, they were going to continue their march
towards #5 Terni [=34 miles] then #6 Narni [=8 miles].
At first, #5 near Terni, the ambassador of Naples, the prince of Belmonte having left
from Rome on January 22, 1798 had a brief meeting with Berthier. (=ca. January 23, 1798)
Afterwards, as he was heading back to Rome, he met with the 3 person delegation from the Pope,
(1 Vicar-Cardinal and 2 princes) who he had left Rome shortly ahead of them, and he informed
them that Berthier would not have a meeting with them. They insisted on still going and they
found Berthier now at #6 Narni. As warned of, Berthier refused to meet with them, but only met
with the Naples Ambassador again. The group then returned back to Rome which was 53 miles
away, and reached there by the night of January 24, 1798 (surely traveling by (horses-drawn)
stagecoach which has a speed of 5 mph and a 60-70 miles/day limit range. Therefore this was
feasible one-days range trip from Rome, which took only a ca. 11-hour return trip from Narni)
In the morning (January 25, 1798), they related to the Pope the results of their trip.

#7 Following those meeting, the full contingent then marched closer to Rome, moving 32 miles
closer to Monterosi reaching it on January 25, 1798.

Now Berthiers instruction from Napoleon (p. 629.2), was that he had to make a stop
when he would be 2 days journey (=ca. 64 miles) from Rome, and from there he would, in
Napoleons words: threaten the Pope and all the members of the Government in Rome who had
made themselves guilty/liable of the greatest of all crimes, in order to inspire fear in him and
make him flee Rome. But with this stop at Monterosi being 29 miles out from Rome, this stop,
and declaration, should have been made back at Terni which was 61 miles out from Rome. But
it seems that in the uncalled for encounter that Berthier had with the Naples Ambassador at
Terni, then again at Narni, -(and with also the Vatican delegation also attempting a meeting),
and during which, as Duppa, pp.31-33 relates, Berthier had then only spoken soothing and
reassuring words to the Ambassador for the Pope, i.e that he would only be seeking to arrest
those who had committed the murder of General Duphot, it may seem that Berthier still had some
concerns about the involvement of the King of Naples in the affair, and so chose to both tone

44
down his declaration/statement then, and to also move up closer to Monterosi.
But a further odd thing is that, as it is known, from all accounts/records agreeing that
Berthier and his troops did not reach the immediate vicinity (gates) of Rome until February 9,
1798, and as it surely did not take the French army 15 days to cover these final 29 miles in
their march on Rome (they could have easily covered it in just ca. 11 hours), then, for some
reason, -considered later, Berthier and his troops went on to stay in Monterosi for the next 15
days (I.e. from Jan. 25 to Feb. 8/9).
But before later dealing with that oddity, it can be here chronologically seem, -from this
this calculated/reckoned itinerary of the March on Rome that Berthier came to this (albeit odd)
extended stop/pause in his march on Rome on January 25, 1798.[11]11 And that dovetails with
the Ending-1 reckoning of the 3.5 days=years prophetic period:

E1. {Charting of the 3.5 days of Rev 11:9}

[The appended +15 Days-1|2|3 sections will be explained in detail in the next verses (i.e. Rev
11:13's) commentary].

At this point either Bible believer or unbeleiver, could nonetheless see that something
portentous and consequential was about to take place here, pointedly upon the clear insistence of
France to keep on marching upon Rome, i.e. from the turned down attempts for manifestly a
Peace Treat Resolution in the meetings at Terni and Narni. The theme of the 3.5 day=year time
period was a time for people to, even if merely cursorily, glancingly look upon Gods Word for
an expected triumph, and that is what especially Prophecy-studying Christians outside of France
were doing. And this warring march certainly heightened their faith.
And the tangible, Spiritual involvement here of this Rev 11:12 passage was seen in the
reality that, by having effectively come to what was a/the Biblical understanding of what Gods
True Testimony about Church and State was, France had effectively come to see that what the
Papacy was continue to do in their Church+State affairs was not really Biblically valid. Though
by now, France had Religious respect for Christianity, and also the Catholic Church, they did not
accept these persisting Church encroachments in State Affairs. So the only permanent solution
they saw, and which the riot and its murderous outcome offered them the perfect pretext to
execute, was in the complete removal of the Papacy from his inherently temporal chair/position.
So effectively, France came to unwittingly, -but through some applicable Biblical
comprehension, decide to carry out the militaristic earth-shaking agenda that God had revealed
through His now resurrected, but ascended, Two Witnesses.
So God would thus be using even the most strident enemies of His Word to accomplish
His Judgement Work. See this principle at work in Psa 110 [discussed in here] for the ascended
Jesus (e.g. via the Romans against the rebellious Jews and Jerusalem); and 1 Kgs 19:15-17
[discussed here] for the ascended Elijah (via especially the Arameans against apostate Northern
Israel).

Rev 11:13 - And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city fell and

45
seven thousand names of men were killed in the earthquake. And the ones who remained
became fearful and gave glory to the God of Heaven.

in that hour - The notion of effectuated judgement is often mentioned with/as an hour in
Revelation (Rev 14:7; 3:3, 10; cf. Rev 8:1; 14:15 =Second Coming), pointedly in Gods dealings
against Babylon (Rev 17:12; 18:10, 17, 19), but as previously introduced at Rev 11:3's Note #2:
when God wants to involve a precise to the day prophetic fulfillment, this smallest of prophetic
time symbology is then also cited. It is here proposed and substantiated that the hour mention
in this verse is indeed also relating to a judgement, but also involves chronological time, namely
that 1 hour = 15 literal days.

in - And this verse is here stipulating that what will take place will have transpire in
{Greek en} that hour, that is some time within those 15 days of judgement.

that - Additionally, one of three types of demonstrative pronouns, (see Greek Grammar
Beyond the Basics pp. 325-328ff), is here used, translated as that(=Greek: ekeinos). This is the
remote demonstrative pronounce, as opposed to the proximate one: Greek houtos and the
proleptic/anticipatory one: Greek ode. The proleptic ode would be anticipatorily indicating
speaking of what is about to be said in Rev 11:13, and the proximate houtos would be referring
to immediate preceding context of Rev 11:11-12 which is the time after the 3.5 days. The use
of the remote ekeinos however is forcing a break here which creates an separate context for the
events in this verse. It is still after the 3.5 days but a distinct context is here being made here
for Rev 11:13. So we can interpretively see that this hour (=15 days) is to be appended to the
3.5 days (=3.5 years), and what is said to take place in this verse is to occur within the 15 days
of this appended time segment.

a great earthquake - this is to be seen as a symbol and interpreted, from the Bible (i.e. Heb
12:26-27) as Gods shaking of the powers of Earth so that what can remain will remain. (Cf.
EW 41.1-2). Gods prior/initial Earth Shaking Voicing had been when He, speaking at Mount
Sinai (Heb 12:18-25ff), established Israel as a nation/kingdom in this Worlds Affairs having
called them out of from under the rule of the then world hegemonic leader Egypt for this purpose.
That action indeed had shaken the established order of things in the World. Well the present
action is to also do the same, by shaken down and out what cannot remain. Similarly, in the end
(i.e. the Seventh Plague Rev 16:17-21), that is how a then iconized Babylon (Rev 13:14-15) is
displaced from its re-granted Earth ruling/reigning position (Rev 17:12-18).

the tenth of the city fell - The tenth is Biblically understood to be the chief/leading part (=Isa
6:12-13) which, as involved in the tithing practice, is presented above the other 9 parts, as being
most devoted to/for God. The city is, through antecedent tracing, the Great City of Rev 11:8,
which is, comprehensively, Babylon (cf. Rev 16:19). So the leading part of this Babylon entity,
even its holy seed (Isa 6:13), which patently had tentacles throughout world kingdoms (cf. Rev
17:18), would be the area which is most damagingly affected by this shaking of the Earth (i.e
shaking of Earth Powers).

46
By pointedly mentioning/focusing on the city aspect of Babylon, the Divine Intelligence
is here speaking of the affectation of its Civic territorial establishment and not its Religious
ecclesiastic entity. So though Babylon would lose its Temporal footing and seat amongst other
world nations, it still continued to exist intact as a (global) Spiritual/Church Body.

7000 names of men were killed - It would be the life of men who would be killed here, but their
name, i.e. their status and thus their position. And unlike in the Elijah episode in 1 Kgs 19:18
from which this prophetic statement is based, whereas God was then able to spare 7000 men as
they had not bowed the knee to Baal, in this judgement here, these men are not able to be spared,
thus evidently as they had allowed themselves to be swept up in the idolatrous apostasy...In fact,
by being amongst the chief/leading part of this city that falls in this earthquake, which is
manifestly why these men suffer loss, they clearly were actually leaders in/of/for this apostasy!
So God here is targeting the leadership of Babylon in this Earth Powers Shaking Event.
This entity evidently could not remain standing. Therefore it clearly had not followed the
template of the Sinai Church+State Kingdom establishment by God. So, as indeed inherent with
Babylon, it was clearly a Nation/Kingdom pretending to be Gods very own Establishment, that
was not to be toppled down, by targeting the leading part of it.

French Revolution Fulfillment: The symbols interpretingly really speak for themselves
here. These prophetic statements are seen to be fulfilled in what went on to happen when General
Berthier and military contingent, resumed their ordered march on Rome (after that earlier
mentioned: odd 15-day stay in Monterosi). As seen in Gendrys account pp.292-295)
Berthiers troops reached the vicinity/gates of the city on February 9, 1798 and setup their camp
on Monte Mario, while also securing access to the nearby Ponte Molle (Milvio) bridge, and right
up to the northernmost Porta del Popolo Gate, from which they can enter into the then still-
significantly walled-in city/built-up area of Rome. Berthier himself has set up his headquarters in
the (urban) La Storta area [manifestly not the same area as the present (sub-urban) municipal
zone which is ca. 15+ miles from Rome] while he himself is lodged at the Villa Mellini (cf. here)
where the present Monte Mario Observatory is located, which is straightly only ca. 1.3 miles
from Vatican City. At this lodging Villa, on the night of February 9, 1798, the Pope sends a
delegation of 3 people (Jos Azara (a Spanish diplomat), Duke Luigi Braschi (who is Pope Pius
VIs nephew; -the Popes actual name was: Count Giovanni Angelo Braschi), and the Popes
Cardinal Secretary of State: Gisuppe Doria Pamphili), the resolution of their meeting is that they
agree that: in the morning, two princes, (Prince Giulio Gabrielli and Prince Vincenzo
Giustiniani), will come to the Villa Milleni to hear Berthiers/Frances formal Terms of
Capitulation.
That is what happens that morning =February 10, 1798. -Gendry includes all of these 21
Terms in his account (pp.293-294). The various demands, more than (an-opportunistic) less, all
revolve around the passing of measures, the call for various redresses, and the infliction of, also
several severe, penalties in regards to dealing with the circumstances which led to a riotous
outbreak causing the murder of General Duphot. The two princes then return to the Pope and
share with those harsh demands and penalties. The matter is turned over to a State
Congregation to decide what to do, and they come to the agreement/decision to go by all of the

47
terms. Though appalled by those terms, the Pope goes along with the decision to comply to
them. He was actually hoping that by such ready compliance and acceptance of responsibility for
the murder of Duphot, he would be able to prevent the complete destruction of his Papal
Government. The decision is then made official with the Colonel Baruichi being sent by the Pope
to a parliamentary proceeding where Baruichi signed the capitulation terms on/for the
Papal/Roman side, and General Jean-Baptiste Cervoni being the signer on/for the French side.
Berthier and his troops then enter Rome, unopposed. (Blanchard (1800) pp.258-259 says that
Berthier had paid off a small number of people in Rome to, in the name of the Roman People,
invite him inside the city. And upon that invitation he entered.).

13. {Berthier Enters Rome and Deposes the Papacy}

But in all of these dealings, Berthier, strategically enough, had made no mention, nor
given a hint, of: the Pope having to step down from his position and a Roman Republic to be
formed. That is all because Berthier is still being, just as he had been instructed by the French
Directory through Napoleon, secretive about his/their real intentions now towards the Papal
Government. Berthier first strategically wanted to have his troops enter Rome without any
resistance or a fight, and once they were inside the city, occupied it and controlled it through a
quasi-marshal law imposition, his plan to overthrow the Pope were to try to do it through a
seemingly purely grassroot popular Republican Revolution uprising.
(Gendry pp.296-297ff): But to Berthiers deception, -and despite French agents
provocateurs (=inciting agents) having been sent throughout the populace to try to effect this
patriotic insurrection, he quickly realizes that there is no such seething spirit of liberty
amongst the people. And on February 11, he mentions this obstacle in a report to be sent to the
French Directory stating that he therefore does not see that the (organic) Revolution views/aims
of the Directory for the Roman people can be achievable.
Perhaps perceiving that it is the fear/religious respect of the people for the empowered
Pope, Berthier, over the next couple of days, takes various decided measure to increasingly rein
in, and quarantine the Papal Government, thus gradually eroding its authority and power. And by
February 15 everyone knows that the Papal Government is as good as done. Berthier then,
manifestly deliberately, chooses this date of February 15 to make the overthrow and Revolution
official as it coincides with the anniversary of the Popes election to office, (some 23 years
before, which was then the longest pontificate of a modern Pope). Protracted/Detailed story short,
the Pope is indeed officially deposed on that day, signing the official conceding documents, -
though he first had had to be dragged from his altar in order to be put on house arrest in his
chambers. Then a couple of, America-inspired, Trees of Liberty are (trans)planted to a couple
of public squares, -including on the grounds before the (ancient) Capitol, -as this is a symbol of
the French Revolution, and by a couple of public Proclamation, including one by the Roman
People, Rome is declared to now be a Roman Republic.

14. {Pope Pius VI Signs Deposing Documents (Feb. 15, 1798)}

15. {Papacy Deposing Documents}

48
Ensuingly, on February 17, the 80 year old, and then sickly, Pope is informed that he is
to leave Rome to go away in permanent exile on February 20, 1798. That is indeed what
happens around 6:00 AM that day, with the Pope heading then to Siena, Italy. (ca. 140 miles
away). [Pope Pius VI would die while in exile, the next year on August 29]

16. {Pope Pius VI Leaves For Exile (Feb. 20, 1798)}

Humbly enough, when made aware of the official change of power on/of February 15,
the Pope still declared that: he adores the impenetrable decrees of Providence....Indeed it was
all the Prophetic Will of the All Mighty, -and a most timely one at that!! Namely for the timely
fulfillment of the (historical) 1260 days/42 months/3.5 times which were to end in 1798 A.D.,
having had begun in 538 A.D.
Relatedly, Leroy Froom relates at 2:751.2b (footnote #13), -from Duppas account (p.34,
35, 91), that upon entering Rome Berthier immediately pledged by proclamation that the
Catholic "cult" should remain untouched, and yet he knew that he was going to depose the Pope.
But this also is exactly as it was prophesied as only the tenth, =leading, part of the city
Babylon, namely the Papal hierarchy, would be affected in this earthshaking development! This
tenth of the city also applicably speaks of the leading, deemed most holy, sector of the
city of Rome, namely the then ruling area where the Papal Temporal seat was located: (now
known as): Vatican City.
Quasi-contemporarily writing of this event in 1814, Georg Theodor von Merck biasedly,
vitriolicly characterizes this development on pp.28-29 of his book on The captivity and death of
Pius VI as:

The French Directory trying here to execute their project to obliterate the Christian (i.e
Catholic) religion, tired to attack the whole [Catholic] Church at one time, I the person of
her chief, and by that great/terrible shock/tremor/shaking [cf. here] make the
whole edifice of Saint Peter, which God had laid on a rock [Matt 16:18], crumble to the
ground.

Interesting that he was (of course unknowingly) figuratively variously seeing this exactly
as the prophetic symbolism in Rev 11:13 were describing them. There indeed was a great
(Spiritual) shaking in/of Babylon (and even a fear-inducing/terrifying event), but as the Papal
Church then was also a (esp. influentially) leading Temporal World Power, e.g. within the Holy
Roman Empire, this indeed was also a political earthquake; indeed just how France was
intending to, in regards to Global matters, shake things up in their favor, with the prior Church
& State governance World Order model of the Papacy having here been taken out of the way to
allow Frances Secular Humanism Nation model to unimpeding establish and spread itself.

E2. {Repost of the Charting of the 3.5 days+1 hour of Rev 11:9, 13}

Now in the full charting of the fulfilment of the 3.5 days=years posted in Rev 11:12, and
reposted just above here for immediate reference, it is seen that this time period had come to an
end on January 25, 26 or 27, 1798. And as seen/stated there that is when Berthier evidently
halted his march on Rome in Monterosi where he oddly paused for the next 15 days. What is
interesting here is that with the overthrow of the Papal government having been officially
achieved within 7 (inclusive) days of the French Army having reached the gates of the city of
Rome, i.e. from February 9-15, with the Pope being officially taken out of the way with his
exile 5 days later (for a total of 12 days), It can be seen how the appended prophetic hour
time element here in Rev 11:13 which converts to 15 literal days would more than likely have
seen this swift downfall and removal of the Temporal Papal Government. So the 3.5 years+15
days would, contiguous, have been accurate fulfilled, pointedly as the Heavenly Intelligences
prophetic prediction had stipulated that this earth shaking/overturning events would occur: in
that hour i.e. within 15 days. (No doubt with the All Mighty God fore-planning to (if
necessary) overrule things then to keep this development as peaceful as possible, thus without
the outbreak of a protracting war).
However the Heavenly was not at all foiled here for having an accurate timely fulfillment,
because, as exegetically stated above, a remote demonstrative pronoun had been used to say in
that hour. This is instead of a proximate demonstrative pronoun which would have said in this
hour. The key/substantive difference in meaning and understanding here is that the remote
pronoun allows for a remote i.e. disconnected separate/apart in time hour/15 days;
whereas a proximate hour/15 days would logically be directly/contiguously appending this
added prophetic time period to the 3.5 days=years. In fact, contextually, it can be seen that this
that hour specification incorporates what is stated in Rev 11-12 to occur after the 3.5 days,
thus: after their ending on January 25|26|27, 1798; and yet not necessarily contiguously
so.

So interpretively putting everything together here:

the witnessing Word of God would be seeing this militaristic, earth(=political)-shaking


development against Babylon occur within a period of 15 days, sometime after the 3.5
days have ended, (which was on January 25|26|27, 1798)); and/but by a foreign
power/army.

And at this point, it can be conclusively resolved from the fulfillment discussion at Rev
11:11, that the sudden and ironic uprising against Maximillien Robespierre which triggered his
rejection and downfall and the end of his ruthless and bloody Reign of Terror, which occurred
on July 26, 1794 best Thematically/Spiritually fulfills this prophecy, pointedly as it comes to
have its chronological end on January 25, 1798, when it was, as stated earlier, then formerly
announced/reported to the Pope from his returning envoys to Berthier, that the French Army was
not going to relent on its march on Rome.....And yet, there is the issue of the odd 15-day
halting/pausing by Berthier at Monterosi on this end date. Why in the world would they would do

50
this protracted stop, particularly as an enunciated key tactic for the French Military contingent
here was quickly arriving and thus unrelenting pressure, in an attempt to make the Pope just flee
from the city. This respite surely could only have given resistance hope to the Papacy supporting
camp in Rome. Indeed, they may have been interpreting it as God intervening to change the will
of Berthier and his troops.
I have not seen any reason given as to why Berthier spent 15 days in Monterosi. It can
possibly be surmised that:

(A) the French where then waiting for now called upon reinforcements (i.e. from Ancona) to join
them. But there is no historical hint of that at all, nor would it have taken that long as Ancona
was just 164 miles (Which could be covered in ca. 2-3 days one way by sent messenger and at
most ca. 5 days by a returning contingent of marching soldiers); or:

(B) the French were using this time to make their final war plans. But that would defeat their
other, more significant plan of keeping the pressure on Rome. Plus being encamped around the
city while doing those plans would be a better show/use of force.

(C) there is also the natural possibility that, as this trekking march was being done in the midst of
the Italian winter, perhaps the weather, esp. snow falls, may have had an affectation here. And it
is stated, in at least one work that I have found (see here/pp.148-149), about this march of
Berthier and his troops that: they were only retarded by the snows of the Appenine and also that
other than that: they met no other resistance. The Appenine(s) is(/are) a(/3) main mountain
range(s) that dominantly run through the central length of the Italian peninsula. As they are
indeed so dominant on the topography of Italy, the entire peninsula is also dubbed by that name,
it seems manifest that the author here was referring to the mountain range itself, and indeed
pointedly the central range as this was the one that Berthier and his troops had to cross over.
Now having to cross these mountains in the dead of winter would surely present a
heightened obstacle to them of greater snows/snowfall to have to deal with, and even, in regards
to snow-falls/-storms, have to wait out. But as the Jules Gendry-based dated itinerary charting
(posted in Rev 11:12 above) of the advances of Berthier and his troops show that they were
making good/normative time (i.e. 12 hours/31 miles per day) until right through reaching Terni,
and with, as seen from Google Earths Satellite View (Labels Bordering), the Central Appenine
Mountain range footing being almost exactly midway between Terni and Narni which are ca. 8
miles apart, long before Monterosi which is 32 miles further away from Narni, it would seem
that the only delaying that would have been from the snows of this mountain range would have
been between Terni and Narni. And this corrroborates with the itinerary charting observation that
it took an unusual while for Berthiers contingent those 8 miles between Terni and Narni
(elevation = ca.485 ft down from previous elevations of ca. 4,000 ft). But there is no statement at
all of snows (or even cold weather) having caused them to have had to camp in Monterosi ,
(again which was way beyond the Appenine Central Range), for, a moreover-more-stunning, 15
days.

(D) So, with those explanations not being satisfactory/logical, I am instead going to go with a

51
Spiritual (i.e. Eph 6:12) explanation here which is that, by then Satan had realized, from studying
out the additionally pertinent prophetic portion here of Rev 11:11-14 [and Satan does have to
study Bible prophecies to understand what God is planning to do (see e.g. PK 686.1; DA 115.1)],
what was about to prophetically, and timely so, transpire here, i.e. the fall of the Papacy within
the 15 days just after the end of the 3.5 day=years, and so, -patently just had he had tried to
foilingly do through Egypt to prevent the birth of Israel Deliverer (Exod 1:15-22|PP 242.1); and
the in regards to the Birth of Jesus the Messiah (Matt 1:16-18||DA 65.1), he tried to foil, at the
very least, what he thought would/could only be the timely fulfillment of this prophetic element
and so influenced Berthier to run down this 15-day period in this odd march halt. Up to this
point, Satan had had no problem with his spawned: Egyptian and Sodomic, i.e. Atheistic and
Libertine, abysmal earth power/beast (Rev 11:7) France, going to put down the relatively
now impeding religious power of the Papacy/Roman Catholic Church, pointedly as France was
indeed was an advancing step from Satans prior choice for a world-(religiously)-deluding
beastly power in the Papacy/RCC (Rev 13:2b). But now, he just realized the potential prophetic
proof that would be established by an uninterrupted unrolling of this development here, and so
successfully influenced Berthier to make this, most apparently, unnecessary, and exactly, 15-
day hiatus. (Cf. on Dan 10:20-21 -cited in here).
But if all this was the behind the scenes case, Satan should have gotten a clue by the no
doubt, unhindered allowance by God for him to successfully do this. Because the Heavenly
Intelligence knew that such a delaying would not disturb nor foil the actual fulfillment that God
had stipulated would happen here; for it would be a detached/remote period of 15 days which
would see the prophetic stipulation accurately fulfilled. In Spiritual fact, with now Satan exulting
resting on his laurels he probably did not see it as necessary to try now influence the Papacy
and/or his Naples ally to put up a fight against France, and thus make this overthrow of
power/government take much longer than 15 days to complete, -especially as a bloody coup
could have revolted the people of Rome against France just as Robespierre bloody Reign of
Terror measures had recently done with the Revolutionist French People. So, yet once again (cf.
PP 245.1; DA 65.5), God had outsmarted the unwitting Satan into helping Him to do His exactly
always/long planned/anticipated (prophetic) purposes!! God indeed can use even the
predatory (cf. Rev 12:10-12; Eph 2:2) Devil himself to fulfill prophecy (=Isa 46:11!!!).

Fulfillment of the hour - So when/how exactly did this remote, within 15-day
period come to pass: Straightly said, it started with the first warring shot being fired in this
clash between France and the Papacy. Looking at the developing events at the time, on page 292,
Gendry, [manifestly also correcting other prior conflating accounts (see in his note #1)], relates
that on February 6, 1798, the Pope sent three representative plenipotentiaries (i.e. a person
invested with supreme authority), [namely: Cardinal Giulio della Somaglia, Monsignor Arrigoni
and the Roman Prince Vincenzo Giustiniani]; out to Berthier, -who was then still stopped ca. 29
miles away at/around Monterosi, with a formal, manifestly treaty-type letter which he had
written up on February 4. But when these 3 representatives reached Berthier, he not only
categorically refused to meet with them, manifestly again/likewise claiming, as with the prior
failed meeting attempts with another similar Papal delegation at Terni and Narni, as the reason
that he had been ordered to avoid any appearance of a treaty settlement, manifestly meaning

52
that France would not be capitulating, including from physically entering Rome to carry out its
(feigned) policing punishment, but also had them arrested for 24 hours without any legitimate
reason and in violation of their Civil Rights. So this unwarranted and unlawful action against
these three Papal government representing fully empowered plenipotentiaries, can be seen, and
reckoned, as the effective first shot in this Battle between these two powers.
So then, with them having been released by, and then, surely immediately departed to go
back for Rome on February 9, it can be seen that they had had their attempted-but-failed,
meeting with Berthier early on February 8, (or even late on Feb 7; I.e. they could have arrived
on Feb 7 and unsuccessfully tried all that day to meet with Berthier, who then proceeded to have
them arrested either late on Feb 7 or early Feb 8 and held them prisoner for 24 hours until Feb 9.
So Feb 8 is indeed an acceptable approximating date for this failed, peace treaty-like, meeting.)
So this date of February 8, 1798 can be considered and reckoned as the start of the 1
prophetic hour = 15 days time of/for decisive overturnings....And with the Papacy having been
officially deposed 7 days later on February 15, 1798, and then exiled on February 20, 1798, it
can be seen, as show in the Overthrow Events Charting below that these events did indeed all
transpire, as prophesied: within 15 days, 13 days to be exact!! [the page reference of each
event in Gendrys account are cited in the far right column]

F. {Charting of the 1 Hour=15 days Period of Rev 11:13}

the ones who remained - the leadership in Babylon hadnt remained, nor did the 7000 (names
of) apostasying men. So those who remain here must be those in Babylon who were not leaders
in this Baal-like idolatrous apostasy. So this would effectively be anyone else within Babylon at
large who had not been swept up in this widespread apostasy.
To an applicable extent, this was mainly seen in the many hordes of Protestants out there,
who themselves also were part of Babylon, but had separated themselves from the more
apostasied and idolatrously so, Catholic bloc of adherents.

became fearful - This occurs whenever one has perceived that they have just witnessed the
Almighty. As it did at Sinai (Exod 19:18ff; 20:18-21) when Gods then did likewise shake the
Earth (Heb 12:18-28). Indeed many Protestant recognized this deposing of the Papacy as Gods
own doing in the fulfillment of (timed) prophecy.

gave glory to God - And from this judgement of God these Protestants would know to offer
God an acceptable service of reverence and awe (Heb 12:28-29; cf. here =Exod 20:22-26).

Eventually God would form a Remnant (Rev 12:17; 14:12) from out of various Christian
denominations, starting with the Millerites, then the SDA Church (see the recounting movie
below), which would further become fearful and give glory to God in the context of the
understanding that His hour of judgement had come. (=Rev 14:6-7ff)

Eighth Series

The Eight Series Events relaunch a new era of still needed further
developments/fulfillments, and here, now that the Historical Roman Catholic Church had been
here deposed, but not before having contributed to, -through the revolution it had incited in
France, the unleashing of a new abysmal ideology in secular humanism. So now things are
being reset here to also deal with the future unraveling and challenge from this new opposition
to Truth and Righteousness.

Rev 11:14 - The second woe departs. Behold the third woe comes quickly!

These 3 woes (Rev 8:13) had their beginning in the Fourth Trumpet of Rev 8:12, when
by then, the widely ruling, Apostate Catholic Church had caused Dark Ages to befall on the
Earth various affecting various leading aspects amongst world leading lights. I.e. the sun, moon
and stars. (Rev 8:12)
The stars affectation (=messengers) had been stabilized in the effectuating of the First
Woe in Rev 9:1-12, when, during the Fifth Trumpet, Militant Islam had been allowed by God to
exist and war against the armies of the Roman Catholic Church, so as to divert from the Papacy
hindering the burgeoning work of messengers of the Reformation. (Cf. the Fifth Churchs work
in Rev 3:1ff).
The Second Woe had here transpired in Rev 11:1-13 to redress the various religious
(=moon) corrupting detriments that the Historical Babylon, the Roman Catholic Church, had
done in Christianity. From now on, people could see that the Church-State model advocated by
Roman Catholicism was of Gods ordaining, pointedly as the religious (=moon) part was
unBiblical.
Then the quickly coming Third Woe (=the Seventh Plague) would revolve around
matters of the sun which are socio-economics. And this would be Gods redressing of the
Capitalism perversion marshaled by Eschatological/Daughter Babylon, namely the United
States of America (Rev 13:11-18). And when that is done, God would have liberated the
kingdoms of this world from the deluding influence and misleading grip of Babylon (Rev 17:14-
18; 11:15-18)...establishing His own Temporal Kingdom of True Righteousness. (Rev 15:1-
2ff).

Notes
1. [1] Further Anti-Catholicism(=Christianity) Actions by the French Revolutionaries:

1790
July 12: The Assembly adopts the final text on the status of the French clergy in passing the
Civil Constitution of the Clergy which subordinated the Roman Catholic Church in France to the
French government Clergymen lose their special status, and are required to take an oath of
allegiance to the government. It was never accepted by the Pope and other high-ranking clergy in
Rome.
July 23: The Pope writes a secret letter to Louis XVI, promising to condemn the Assembly's
abolition of the special status of the French clergy.
October 6: Louis XVI writes his cousin, Charles IV of Spain, to express his hostility to the new
status of the French clergy.
November 27: The Assembly decrees that all members of the clergy must take an oath to the
Nation, the Law and the King. A large majority of French clergymen refuse to take the oath.
December 27: Thirty-nine deputies of the Assembly, who are also clergymen, take an oath of
allegiance to the government. However, a majority of clergymen serving in the Assembly refuse

80
to take the oath.

1791
January 3: Priests are ordered to take an oath to the Nation within twenty-four hours. A majority
of clerical members of the Assembly refuse to take the oath.
February 24: Constitutional bishops, who have taken an oath to the State, replace the former
Church hierarchy.
March 3: The Assembly orders that the silver objects owned by the Church be melted down and
sold to fund the government.
March 10: Pope Pius VI condemns the Civil Constitution of the Clergy
March 25: Diplomatic relations broken between France and the Vatican.
April 3: The Assembly proposes transforming the new church of Sainte Genevive, not yet
consecrated, into the Panthon. a mausoleum for illustrious citizens of France. On May 4, the
remains of Mirabeau are the first to be placed in the new Panthon.
April 13: Encyclical of Pope Pius VI condemns the Civil Constitution of the Clergy.
June 15: The Assembly forbids priests to wear ecclesiastical costumes outside churches.
November 29: Priests are again ordered to take an oath to the government, or to be considered
suspects.

1792
April 5: The Assembly closes the Sorbonne, a center of conservative theology.
May 27: The Assembly orders the deportation of priests who have not signed the Civil
Constitution of the Clergy, oath to the government.
June 11: Louis XVI vetoes the laws on the deportation of priests and the formation of a new
army outside Paris.
August 18: The Assembly abolishes the religious teaching orders and those running hospitals,
the last remaining religious orders in France.
August 22: Royalist riots in Brittany, Vende and Dauphin.
September 2: over a forty-eight-hour period beginning on, as the Legislative Assembly
(successor to the National Constituent Assembly) dissolved into chaos, three Church bishops and
more than two hundred priests were massacred by angry mobs; this constituted part of what
would become known as the September Massacres.
September 10: The government requisitions all church objects made of gold or silver.
September 20: Last session of Assembly votes a new law permitting civil marriage and divorce.

1793
March 7: Armed uprising against the rule of the Convention, and particularly against
conscription into the army, begins in the Vende region of west-central France.
March 19: The Convention decrees the death penalty for any participant in the uprising in the
Vende.

2. [2] For those who have the incorrect/unBiblical Theological View about God and the Future,
this slight discrepancy can be deemed as a deal breaker as they would believe that God had

81
looked into the future, (and from the ceaseless ages of Eternity), and seen the exact dates when
these prophecy fulfilling events will take place and would have exactly stated such time in the
giving of a timed prophecy about it/them. But that is not at all how the Bible states that God
deals with the future, nor formulates prophecies. Theologically speaking, He instead, as clearly
stated in Isa 46:9-11, declares beforehand what He will have accomplished in the future, and then
acts, even sovereignly so, to see that it is accomplished as such. However, there are instances of
prophecies where God plans to have a most precise (i.e. to the day) fulfillment. But that is not
always the case.
Indeed the major time prophecies of the Bible in these historical 3.5 times/42
months/1260 days (Dan 7:25; 12:7; Rev 12:6, 14; 13:5) and also the related 1290 & 1335 days
of Dan 12:11, 12) were not fulfilled to the very day, or even to the very month, as seen in the
anchoring dates for these prophecies (which are documentedly presented in this dedicated
research site): of:

-The State and Church Coalition of King Clovis I and the Papacy around December 25, 508
A.D.
-The Papal Power Ascendency in the Seat of Pagan Rome in the March 538 A.D. (#11 in here)
-The (as later discussed) Deposition of the Papacy by France on February 10 1798 A.D.

Likewise see the 5 months (=ca. 153|4 applicable calender months days) of Rev 9:5 fulfilled
from July 12, 1299 to May 29, 1453 in the Rise of the Ottoman Empire, as clarifyingly
discussed and precisely reckoned within this post at Rev 9:5 (Fifth Trumpet).
Then there is the accurate seasonally fulfillment of the 70 Weeks of Daniel (Dan 9:24-
27) and its larger 2300 prophetic days period (Dan 8:14) as provedly demonstrated in this blog
post and the research/book work that it is summarizing.

But then there is the most strikingly, to-the-very-day, accurately fulfilled prophecy of the
hour, day, month, year (=360+30+1=391 years & 15 days) of the Sixth Trumpet (discussed
within this post at Rev 9:15) which, as historically related in 1905 JNL, GSAM 128.3-132.4 (cf.
here) and GC 334.4-335.1||GC 691.1-3 served to predict 2 years in advance, by Josiah Litch, the
fall (=the subjugation to Christian powers) of, and the day of it, of the Muslim/Turk Ottoman
Empire on August 11, 1840. (-supported here and here).

And so the prophetic interpretation principle that can be drawn from this is that when
God expects to involve a to the day fulfillment in a prophecy, then, -as it will later be posited
for Rev 11:13, the more specific element of an hour(=15 days) is stipulated.
So technically speaking the extra (potential 6) and 1 days for the 42 months and 1260
days reckoning in the historical-eschatological fulfilment of Rev 11:2, 3 in the French
Revolution would fall within the margin of non-exact-day-specified latitude.

3. [3] Which actually may have been over a literal 3.5 day period itself for this most
pivotal/climatic development in the French Revolution depending on the exact time when
Robespierre gave his speech on July 26 and when the execution of his 70 allies within the Paris

82
Commune, -(the largest mass execution to have ever taken place in Paris), was completed on
July 29. I.e. if the speech occurred at 9 AM on July 26 and the 70 allies of Robespierre were all
arrested and only all executed on July 29 by 9.PM, then that would be 3.5 days.

4. [4] Reflective enough of how the coup against, and execution of, Maximillien Robespierre was
pivotal in, and climatic to, the French Revolution, the epic 1989 2-Part TV Movies Series on the
French Revolution [co-produced by 6 countries on/for the 200th anniversary of that 1789 event;
for $300 million francs (=$48.25 USD = in $94.5 USD2017)], -(whose pertinent major scenes
are depictingly cited in this blog post exposition), which runs for a total of 5 hours and 20
minutes long, ends with the execution of Robespierre and then briefly with the widow, (and,
assumedly, mother-in-law, and children), of Robespierres former friend, then political enemy:
Georges-Jacques Danton, who had been executed during the Reign of Terror (on April 5, 1794),
lighting candles in a Catholic Church accurately reflecting how the Catholic Church and its
services indeed soon thereafter came back to an accepted status and observance in France.
{Ending scene: Fre[02:28:40-02:30:29]//Eng[E4P9=08:33-E4P10=00:32]}

5. [5] Relatedly the law dubbed the Law of the Great Terror, which is the Law of 22 Prairial,
enacted on 10 June 1794 by which the Committee of Public Safety simplified the judicial
process to one of indictment and prosecution, thus heightening the power of the Law of Suspects,
was officially repealed ca. 3 days after the execution of Robespierre and his associates on August
1, 1794.

6. [6] Froom also later relates (at 2:750.3) quoting from the contemporary (i.e. 1799) work of
Richard Duppa entitled: A brief account of the subversion of the papal government. 1798 p. 11
that on December 27, 1797 some Italian and French people amongst a riotous mob that had
formed, aided by an Abbey, speaking against the present governing status quo: proceeded to
make public harangues, and pretended to shew clearly by several texts of scripture, that the time
was at hand to overthrow the existing government. As likely/surely pro-Catholic, these,
demonstrators probably could not conceive that such passages would actually be speaking of the
ending of the, by then 1260 year prophesied temporal reign of the Papacy.

7. [7] In 1887, a french writer by the name of Victor Pierre wrote a 510-page book decryingly
recounting what he effectively characterized as a swept under period of the late revolution, titling
his book: The Terror Under the Directory: The history of the political and religious
persecutions after the coup of 18 fructidor. (cf. his preface at: xiii-xv).

9. [9] That Napoleon military correspondence is worth reading as it give a glimpse of the natural
military mind/genius of Napoleon. I would be that he was an organizational freak, but just the
specific detailing in those instructions and also the knowledge of the precise location and
numbers strength of various military units dispersed about in Italy, which he was instructing
Berthier to gather together and/or strategically relocate for this assault on Rome, is really quite
impressive...particularly for the late 18th century times. Napoleon here seemed like a human
computer. And even if he had assembled all of this date and info from records that he kept, given
that he had just recently returned to Paris and also that he had had probably less than a couple of
days to formulate this precise plan, still makes it quite impressive. No wonder he quickly arose

84
from a simple corporal to commander-in-chief of the military of France, and later the Emperor of
the Empire that he was trying to achieve.

10. [10] This is contrary to Froom 2:751.1a who says that Berthier was in Milan then. As
Napoleon is, in his Order Correspondence to Berthier, actually informing Berthier of pertinent
troop force strength in Milan (p.626.4), but when speaking of Rimini, only tells Berthier how
many troops he should hold there (p.627.5; 627.12), it corroborates Gendrys statement more
than Frooms (manifestly not specifically documented) own.
It is probable that Froom (and others) had such an understanding then, i.e. that General
Berthier was in Milan then on January 11, 1798, from a January 6, 1798 letter from Napoleon
to a Citizen General then at Milan who was specifically unnamed in the body of the letter, but
has been supplyingly identified in the letters label, e.g. in this 1884 book (p.199), (cf. in here), as
having been General Berthier. However a more scholarly compiling work, namely this 1859
one p.620 #2400) had identified this General to have been General Bernadotte, full name:
Jean Baptiste Bernadotte. As Bernadotte had honorary-heir royalty ties to Sweden, and this letter
is footnoted to have been supplied for this compiling work by the King of Sweden, then that
corroborates/confirms this identification.
Evidently, -as it is alluded to in the ensuing explanatory notes in the wrongly identifying
work, having contributed to the confusion here, another letter (pp.619-620 #2399) written that
same day, -to again a Citizen General, is this one identified/labeled to have been written to
General Berthier.

11. [11] Some earlier works/accounts (e.g. one of 1805 (pp.148-149) -(cf. in here) & one of 1858
(pp.264-265) -(cf. in here), state/claim that Berthier left Ancona for Rome on January 25
(1798). It can easily be seen that the later, and better sourced (1906) work of Jules Gendry, who
states that: Berthier first left Rimini around January 16, and to go to Ancona, and then gives
ensuing specific dates for the other stops along this march, is the account to be trusted as being
more accurate here.
However, those earlier-other claims can have substantively, (versus chronologically),
corroborating value in that: As instructed by Napoleon, Berthier was supposed to complete his
needed troop strength from the 13,000+ soldiers stationed in Ancona, and when he had
sufficient forces, -(with at least 7000 to be left behind there), he was then to set out towards
Rome. So it can be understood that Berthiers own fully staffed mission/march, (i.e. with him
having had already dispatched a contingent from Rimini, who he would meet up with later at
Foligno), effectively had indeed started from Ancona.
And as for the date of January 25, 1798, again Gendrys better-sourced detailing, which
works out to an Ancona-departing date of January 18, 1798, is thus more reliable, =accurate.
