1 The Two Witnesses עדה An idea (עדה) has BECOME Henk Beerepoot 2/14/2010

2 Introduction After I had written the article The Rededicated Temple, it was pressed upon my mind to put in writing the revealed knowledge about the 2 witnesses mentioned in Revelation 11. The implication of this revelation is immense. There are no words that can describe this wonderful truth, it is so inexpressible beautiful that certainly no article can reflect this. The question why I write this revelation down may well be answered by the reader, for the reason to read this paper is a desire to be made whole. For that purpose I have been sent. In this short article I will show the two witnesses in three periods of the history of the people of Israel, the periods of Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles. These periods agree perfectly with the growth of these feasts in the lives of each and every one of her personally and this growth will reveal the true identity of the Two Witnesses as His manifestation. They thus serve as a model of awakening to the idea, as is the meaning of the Two Witnesses, עדה edah, to be You 1, to be Me, to be all of Israel. Henk Beerepoot Melita Park 14 February The Judges and the Kings When Israel possessed the Promised Land they were ruled by Judges. After some time they wanted to have a king ruling over them and sometime later again their kingdom was divided into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. The difference between the two forms of governance of Judges and of Kings is considerable; actually they are each other s opposite. Very briefly, a judge appeals to the desire of the people to comply and is given to them by the Father in accord with the longing of their heart, while a king rules by his will and is given to them by the Father on the request of their mind. 1 Carnal flesh does not like to hear a revelation. Why is that? Because flesh is excited by romance and there is no romance in revelations. Revelations is Love and occurs to the Spirit minded; calculations are romantic and attract the flesh minded. Most of the people of Israel are waiting for someone or something from outside of them to bring them to the Love they are craving for. They are like the Romans who reasoned that all things comes to man from the outside, hence the word roman-ce. However Love/Life in this realm comes from the inside first and then establishes the outside. This is the opposite of that which is presently taught. This truth does away with churches and pastors because this truth teaches the Israelite from the inside, from a circumcised heart, establishing a Love which discloses the unity he has with YaHWaH. A revealed Love of a New flesh Man with the Spirit Father which characterizes equality and right eousness and this makes romance full, because romance is of the flesh and is un-equality or iniquity. When romance is completely given or for given, flesh man and his romance is made full in His unity and sin is not re-membered. Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know YaHWaH: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith YaHWaH: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. 2 See the appendix for an exposé of the remarkable timing of this writing.

3 To emphasise the difference a little more: A judge sits near the entrance of a city for anyone to inquire of the rules thereof so that one can comfortably walk in the streets of truth and inhabit that city. A King occupies the city and with his splendour he empowers his decrees, bringing the inhabitants in bondage to him. To inquire of a judge means, the desire that one has within himself to walk through the door, expressing a yearning to comply to justice. Wanting a King to rule means, to conform to his power and... aspire it. Judges rule from the inside out, Kings from the outside in. Judges are being asked, Kings dictate. Judges serve Sovereign Power, Kings execute Sovereign power. And...last but not least, Judges are empowered through Spirit, Kings through flesh. Two Kingdoms in the Passover era The period of the people of Israel, from her inception to her coming out of Egypt until her captivity into Babylon has been her, so called, Passover era. When Israel rejected the inner rule of YaHWaH through the Judges and wanted a King, they wanted a power from the outside to rule them instead of listening to the desire of their con-science. Instead of their Spirit con-science they wanted a flesh rule. They had made a personal and national commitment with their unseen Elohim at Sinai yet they wanted a flesh man or a King, ruling their Spirit beings to their destination. There was Light in Israel during the period of the Judges, which fast diminished by her entering into the period of the Kings and this light extinguished at her captivity into Babylon. Their rejection marked a step on their road to full blindness. They received their Kings and while they were relying more and more on their ability, their body corporate needed to be separated once more. So, their Kingdom became divided and their Flesh rule became the Northern Kingdom, known as the Dominion, which characterises influence, control or the outside rule and their Spirit rule became the Southern Kingdom, known as the Sanctuary which represents their Holy of Holies, spirit or inner rule. Both Kingdoms were often at war with each other and ended for the body corporate into full captivity. Both Kingdoms of Israel, the Northern and the Southern are His Two Witnesses. These two groups of people who, together form the people of Israel, are talked to most wonderfully in the book of Isaiah. Here in this book in the chapters 40 and following and in particular referenced in 43:10,12; 44:8 they, the 2 Kingdoms are identified as One People and as His Witnesses. Many have written about this truth and at this stage it may be of great benefit to read these chapters. For now it is important to see that 2 groups of people, the one characterised as His Dominion and the other as His Sanctuary, together form the People of Israel, He has separated them, though He will bring them back. His people, His separation is spoken to as His Two Witnesses in the Passover era of their existence. In this period of her history they are appointed as His Witnesses, though made blind and, because of His appointment for them to be His Witnesses, He has shown Himself to some of them. He has made Himself visible within them. Now they can be given to See Him, though with their 2 eyes, separated. This is expressed in the meaning of the old Hebrew letter Ayin ע and this is the first step. Two Kingdoms in the Pentecost era Israel s second period was her Pentecost era which started after the Babylonian captivity until recently in this twenty first century. This period also knew a beginning phase of the ruling of Judges, a period Page 3 of 8

4 which ended with the last king of the Merovingian dynasty, King Childeric III. This King line descended from Samson and the character of their governance was the ruling of a Kingdom through the desire of the people based upon the personal Pentecost message of the teaching of Yahshua. An interesting aspect of this king line of Judges is that they kept their Laws unchanged and these Laws were applied on a personal level. However as time went on, the people of Israel grew weary of their personal responsibility. During the seventh and eighth century the greater portion of Israel in continental Europe were living under this system of a spiritual governing household. Prompted by their inner authority to be made whole, for which they were blinded, they were looking for authorities outside of them that could bring them their personal liberation or fulfilment. This gave much power to the rise and prominence of the Masters of the Household or Mayors of the Palace at the court. In fact it was in the year 751 that by Papal decree 3 the Mayor of the Palace, Pippin III, took the reign over from Childeric III. This started a period whereby two dominating powers ruled Israel, the Kingdoms of France/Austria and of Great Britain. As in the days of old also these two powers warred against each other and the people were sliding more and more into darkness increasing their inner spiritual blindness thus strengthening their outside flesh abilities. This led them to great advancement or flesh enlightenment in the arts and the sciences. For a relative few of the people of Israel this advancement caused them spiritual enlightenment during these dark 1260 days/years. Hereby we think about the martyrs as well as the exodus of many from their homelands settling into the so called New Worlds, though for the vast majority of Israel this period of enlightenment served them as a slide into their abyss. At this stage in the Pentecost era we do not only see on a national level two Kingdom powers but also on a corporate level we see the two forces within the people of Israel of Dominion and of Sanctuary expressed in the outer ruling capacity of the flesh and the inner ruling capacity of the Spirit. Both the national powers and corporate forces are the expressions of Him and these too are His Two Witnesses prophesying in sackcloth from the year 751 up until now, the year Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. He separated them, causing them blindness once more and, as they were making war with each other, His separation brought them their captivity of 1260 years. Yet they were YaHWaH s and they were under the full control and protection of Him in them and of them. He blinded them. He is not their separate power, but they are His separation. He is the Sovereign people, He is Israel, He is His Two Witnesses and through them He prophesied and declared (verse 3). He is the two Olive trees and the two Candlesticks (verse 4) and anyone who would harm them would be killed, because all they are is Him (verse 5) and through them He exercised their growth (verse 6) until the fullness of their self consciousness, their beast, is reached. Because it is their Self which overcomes them and indeed kills them (verse 7). They, as His separation, had not been able to establish their birthright, they had not been able to establish the Kingdom on earth, and they never could. They relied on their flesh ability to become and their flesh ability had to die through work in order for them to come to the realisation that their illusion has become the mighty work of the Father and these two prophesied of that. These Two, Flesh and Spirit, is Him Prophesied, these Two is Him witnessed, these Two is Him manifested, these Two is Him becoming Flesh. It is the Work, the Flesh or the Dominion which He Unites with His Sanctuary, His Spirit. This Uniting is His Work and of this His Two Witnesses, His people have prophesied... and yes, in sackcloth and in mourning. 3 This Papal decree pictures the same rejection as in the time of the Judge Samuel when Israel rejected YaHWaH through their demand of a King, because the Pope of the Roman church symbolises and is the epiphany of His rejection.

5 When this great work has been done they have finished their testimony, the Flesh has lived up to its fullness. The number 7 has a biblical meaning of Spiritual perfection in the Flesh. Symbolically this number consists of 2 equal parts, Flesh and Spirit. To grow into the fullness of the Spirit/Flesh the one 3½ part Flesh has to be made full. The number 3½ on its own is the number of captivity, or the valley, and will be taken up into the fullness of the 7, or the mountain, to become Spiritual perfect. Therefore, on its own, this 3½ has to die. Now, in the verses 7-10, we have come to the personal and deepest revelation of this wonderful chapter 11 of the book of Revelation, describing the completion of the Pentecost era. The Flesh power or the beast, which has ascended out of the bottomless pit, is made full in the valley. The Flesh has reached her completeness in the valley/captivity and there the Flesh of the Two Witnesses is killed. This process that the nation of Israel will come to the fullness of her corporate destiny will be reached through the fulfilment of all of her individual parts that have ever lived. As recorded in Revelation 11:8, the revealed or the enlightened ones see the flesh of each and every one of her laying for dead, during these 1260 years from 751 to 2010 or, on an individual level, during his/her 3½ flesh years. Where do they see their flesh laying for dead? Here, right here, where Israel has dwelled in a Geographical and Historical sense and culminating into a personal sense wherever your body and your mind have dwelled, because your Spirit is reality. Flesh is laying dead in the street 4 of Truth, yes of that great city 5, not where the totality is of human doctrines but where Faith 6 is realised, the earth which is Sodom where lust has been made full into Love and Egypt where knowledge, or science, has been mortified to become the creative power. Here, right here, flesh, the dead flesh of every one of us will lay for 3½ days or 1260 days/years where He, our redeemer, left it too on Golgotha, the place of Skull, as an empty Temple to be filled with His Glory. This the people will see and no one will bury any one of these Two Witnesses. No, not a single one of this great people of Israel will be interred to his dust consciousness. The power of flesh has been overcome through the death of His perfect manifestation Yahshua Messiah and this outworking in the people of Israel, the overcoming of the flesh through death, is the joy of all of them that dwell upon the earth (verse 10). He became the Door. This is expressed in the meaning of the old Hebrew letter Dalet ד and this is the second step. 4 Street signifies Truth, see: Rev. 21:21, it symbolises the Way. 5 Cities signify the collection of doctrines, though in a spiritual sense it pictures the Oneness of Faith, see footnote 6. 6 The word Faith is for many a contentious concept. The Scriptures say: Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. What then is this substance or this evidence? Surely as these words indicate, it must be something coming out of the spiritual realm into the physical realm. What could that be? It is your true identity, who you really are! Not just to be the Life, but fuller still, it is your Life. As Faith means Amen in the Hebrew language, this word Amen means The Mother of Life or the manifestation of the Father and this brief explanation confirms present understanding as this word to mean so be it. This word Faith/The Mother of Life establishes and is Yah, (yes, ja, oui, etc) or, Truth. In other words, if one says: My Faith is, one really says I know to be the Life or, I am His manifestation. So having Faith is: to be conscious of His manifestation, or His Sovereignty, to Be You. This is realized in His city where His consciousness has replaced self consciousness, in His city where chaos is destroyed, which is the meaning of the word Jerusalem. Indeed this is realized in the flesh consciousness of the individual Israelite, the Faithful City. Isaiah 1:26 thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. Page 5 of 8

6 Revelation 11:12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven say to them, "Come up here." Now, they are invited through the Door, resurrected into His realm and now, they know that they are Spirit and now, they enter into His rest to be healed towards Spiritual Perfection. The One Kingdom in the Tabernacle era The time has now come for all of the members of this family of Israel that they are going to live up to the fullness of their earthly destiny, to Be Aw-are that they Are the Two Witnesses. If one is called to be a Witness then one should express the meaning within him. So, the meaning of the word Witness should confirm what is written here. The present understanding of the word Witness is fairly limited and dictionaries give meanings as: testifier, onlooker, bystander etc. However if we dig only a little deeper into the etymology of the word, we can come to an understanding. Wit, as a verb, means: to know and ness is derived from the Latin esse: to be. So, Witness means: To be in the know. When one is thus a witness; One IS in the know. Well, that cannot be said of those who are blinded, as most of Israel at present is, yet Father said You are MY witnesses. He did not say you witness of Me or about Me, no He said you are MY witnesses. So, if we are His witnesses, the identity of the words you and My are the same. This implies that My, the Spirit Father, knows (wit) you, as Flesh, to be (ness). This is in the Hebrew language expressed in the word: עד ed and dictionaries give the meaning: Witness. This word עד ed is formed by the ע ayin of Passover and the ד dalet of Pentecost. An understanding of this word is reflected by the word picture which is given by the pictographic meanings of the two letters together. ayin has the symbolic meaning of: to see. It is the picture of 2 eyes coming together into a ע stem. dalet has the symbolic meaning of: to enter. It is the picture of a Door ד When we put these 2 letters together it shows 2 eyes, or view points, coming together into One to the Door, in other words עד ed means: See the Door 7. These are the 2 Witnesses the Flesh and the Spirit coming into One, Seeing the Door. And the Door is Yahshua and when they See Yahshua as them..., they, the flesh and spirit, ARE His Witnesses, then... they have gone through the door and they start to know Him. They see themselves as His manifestation and their flesh is healing. Then, in a corporate sense, the Two Kingdoms have come together, The Sanctuary and the Dominion, the One nation of Israel is revealed to them to be The Door. Then, yes then they, as the One nation, as 7 It is interesting to note that the word עד ed also means: forever. And the word for Pleasant or Eden, as דן) the judge (ע) or..., to see (ן) of life (ד) the door (ע) Eden, which is: to see עדן is: the garden of Eden, dan). Page 6 of 8

7 the One group with a common testimony, are healing. This completed revelation characterizes her period of Tabernacles and this revelation is expressed with the letter ה Hey, which means: behold or be revealed, and this is the third step completed 8. Now, when Israel has walked her path from Passover to Pentecost and walked as a One Nation, Spirit conscious Flesh and walking into Tabernacles they know their identity, they know to be His Witnesses, they know themselves to Be the Two Witnesses, to Be עדה edah. Epilogue Your flesh or self consciousness, which was all you thought you had, was your separation and has been left dead for all to see during the time of your flesh existence in the street of Truth, in the city of Righteousness You left all that and naked you walked through the Door. This all was hard work laced with pain, sorrow and persecution. Then when you have gone through this Door you have entered into His Rest. There the Work has been accomplished by Him in You and you will come to see that your pain has been made full into Wellness, your sorrow into Joy and your disappointments have become the Appointment as You, Israel, the One King of the One Kingdom. Then You, as the first witness, eat with the Father and the Son and your flesh consciousness has become the consciousness of the Spirit. Then You, and all of the people of Israel as the second witness, are called the city of righteousness, the faithful city (Isaiah1:26). Isaiah 1:26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. An Idea עדה edah has BECOME 9... His Two Witnesses. 8 Therefore as the word עד ed, meaning witness reflects a Pentecost consciousness, it is the consciousness of being witnesses which is expressed with the ה Hey as the last letter, forming the word: עדה edah, which reflects a Tabernacle consciousness of the word witness. 9 Our English word idea is derived from this Hebrew word עדה edah. Almost all of the world s languages have similar spelling and/or phonetics of this word. Page 7 of 8

8 Appendix The date that this paper saw the light is remarkable. It is the date of our first born daughter s birthday. A few months before her birth we named her Bianca. At that time we did not realise the meaning of this name, nor that, not we, but our Father had named her so. She was such a beautiful and lovely girl and she lived up to her name because she was indeed Bianca, which we learned to mean, blank, white or unspotted. She died within an hour after her birth. On this date, 36 years ago, she entered into this realm of time and space and while her body is long dead, on this day she brings forth the product of her humanity, which is 6². Few nowadays realise the origin and significance of the number Six (6) which is in Hebrew the word: שדש shais. The picture of this word shows us; two sets of teeth with a door in the middle. The sheen, as the picture of teeth, symbolises the mechanics or the efforts of man to become, and these ש efforts of man are good and evil. The ד dalet is the Door and pictures Yahshua, the Manifested Father. So, the שדש shais shows us, in effect, Yahshua as the Tree where Good and Evil is balanced. Thirty six (36) is the product or result of this tree and reflects thus the Fullness of the Tree of Good and Evil being consumed through the door ready to enter into the realm of healing, ready to partake of the Tree of Life. Then after the fullness of the flesh is produced (6²), one enters into the 14 th (2x7) of February, the second month. This tells us the 2, the Flesh and Spirit will enter in to become a Body Spiritual Perfected into One which is This partaking occurs for some of us now on this day, when one realises that one IS the Two Witnesses, to become Bianca, the Unspotted. This story of the life of our little daughter is not just remarkable in regard as to the meaning of the Two Witnesses and as the timing of this writing, it is a miracle beyond belief. Only for the record let me write that a few days ago, while this miracle was so much in my thoughts, I paid a sweet girl at the checkout of Officeworks for my shopping. I looked up and saw the name Bianca on her name badge and I said: You have a lovely name Bianca whereupon she, with an open face, smiled at me and answered; Thank you sir, you have too.... This was simply what she said... And my name Henk has the meaning of The Master of the House... Though, she did not know my name... Was it not her, but my Father who spoke those words? Page 8 of 8
