Chapter 11 Footnotes

[1] Revelation 12:6

[2] Revelation 12:14

[3] Revelation 13:5

[4] Daniel 7:25, 9:27 (the period during which sacrifice is prohibited), and 12:7.  All of these refer to the reign of the Antichrist. Daniel 7:25 supports the idea that the Antichrist will lose control of Jerusalem and the rest of his empire at the end of the 1,260 days.

[5] See Appendix 2 : The Olivet Discourse and Revelation

[6] The word in both Luke and Revelation is “pateo” for “trample”.  It is used in only two senses in the NT:  For Jerusalem being trampled by the Gentiles (the two passages quoted here) and for Christ or his followers trampling the slaves of Satan (Luke 10:19, Revelation 14:20 and 19:15). The latter two examples are used for Christ trampling the wine press of God’s Wrath, which is at least in part engendered by the Gentiles’ attacks on the Jews and Jerusalem.
​

[7] Verse 7

[8] See Chapter 13 for discussion of the beast from the sea.

[9] Verse 8
​

[10] Zechariah 3:9

[11] Zechariah 4:6

[12] Haggai 1:1

[13] Zechariah 4:12

[14] See especially Zechariah 6:12. Referring to Joshua the high priest, this says, “Tell him this is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the LORD.’”  Since Christ is the fulfillment of the various Branch prophecies, and since “Jesus” and “Joshua” are the same Hebrew name, perhaps the Messiah’s name is prophesied here.

[15] Hebrews 9:27

[16] Genesis 5:24, Hebrews 11:5

[17] 2 Kings 2:11

[18] 2 Esdras 6:26b

[19] See Appendix “The Rapture”

​
[20] The Other Bible, p 377 IX.

[21] John 11:14

[22] Acts 9:37

[23] 1 Corinthians 15:51-54

[24] cf. Exodus 7:17 with Revelation 11:6b.

[25] cf. 2 Kings 1:10 (fire from heaven) with Revelation 11:5.  It is true that Elijah called down fire from heaven to kill his enemies and the two witnesses bring fire from their mouths, but the difference seems small.  cf. 1 Kings 17:1, Luke 4:25, James 5:17 (drought) with Revelation 11:6a. The plagues which accompany the first six trumpets, and the first six plagues are very similar to those afflicting Egypt before the exodus.

[26] Luke 9:30ff

[27] 2 Kings 2:11

[28] Deuteronomy 34:5-6

[29] Deuteronomy 34:6

[30] Jude 9, quoting. 

[31] John 1:19-25

[32] Malachi 4:5

[33] John 1:21

[34] Matthew 11:14

[35] Matthew 17:11

[36] Deuteronomy 18:15-19.  This is usually taken to refer to Christ, but his distinction from “the Christ” in the priest’s question seems to indicate he is another person, associated like Elijah with the coming of the Messiah.

[37] Malachi 4:5 The interpretation that the two witnesses are Moses and Elijah is bolstered by the verse before.  The two verses together read: (Malachi4:4-5) Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.  {5 } See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful Day of the LORD comes.

[3​8] Deuteronomy 17:6

[39] e.g. Deuteronomy 4:26, 30:19 (heaven and earth), Isaiah 8:2 (Uriah and Zechariah)

​
[40] See Appendix “The beasts of Revelation”

[41] Revelation 9:1-12

[42] Revelation 9:13-21

[43] 2 Peter 3:9-10

​[44] See Appendix “The Day of the Lord”

​
[45] 1Corinthians 15:51-52

​
[46] Revelation 15

​
[47] Matthew 27:51-53
