Revelation 11 Part 3 Bible Teaching

Jesus the Son of Ananus: Revelation’s Two Witnesses?

In a recent teaching session, we delved into the intriguing possibility that Jesus the son of Ananus might be the two witnesses mentioned in Revelation 11. This exploration is rooted in historical and biblical evidence, suggesting that this figure could fulfill the prophecies concerning the two witnesses. The discussion raises the question: Could Jesus the son of Ananus actually be Jesus Christ?

The narrative begins with the post-resurrected Jesus, who might have appeared at the Feast of Tabernacles in A.D. 62. This aligns with the story of Jesus the son of Ananus, a farmer who warned Israel of impending doom before the Roman army’s arrival. The similarities between Jesus Christ and Jesus the son of Ananus are striking, including their ministries’ duration and their treatment by authorities.

Revelation 11 suggests that the two witnesses are Jesus Christ, supported by subtle clues throughout the chapters. The evidence points to Jesus Christ as the embodiment of the two witnesses, a notion that is both compelling and controversial. The teaching emphasizes the importance of approaching this topic with caution, as strong claims require strong evidence.

The session also explored the symbolism in Revelation, such as the two olive trees and lampstands, which represent the king and high priest. This symbolism aligns with Jesus Christ, who is both king and high priest. The teaching concluded with a reflection on the significance of these findings and the need for open-mindedness in interpreting biblical texts.
