We said these two were to be human: so they are. They being sent from
heaven, we said they must have passed by death with their bodies; so they
did. They were to be prophets; so they are, two of the grandest prophets
of all. They were to have power over fire and water; so they had when
they lived on earth. The bloody stream of the Nile gives witness for
Moses. The parched land and time of drought speaks of Elijah in Ahab’s
time. They both called fire down on them who sought to hurt them. They
were to be special witnesses of Christ; so they were on the Mount of
Transfiguration. These two olive trees stood one on each side of the
golden candlestick, Jesus; Peter, James, and John, testify to having seen
Moses and Elijah. These two old veterans know Christ well, hence they
will be sent to testify for Him against Anti-Christ. Moses is a Jew. He
will appeal unto the Jews, who will be found in the new temple,
performing according to the old Mosaic law. He will change and lead his
people from Anti-Christ to Christ. Elijah is an Israelite. He will
specially bear testimony to the Israelite, his long-lost, but then
restored, brethren.
More next Sunday evening on these two Christian heroes.

“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in
heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of
our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and
ever.”—Rev. ii. 15.
