Revelation 11:1-14
INTRODUCTION: This evening, as we look at Revelation 11, as see God's two faithful witnesses. They become a thorn in the side of the unsaved world because of their witness and their warnings of coming judgment. Eventually, their unwelcomed presence causes them to lose their lives. However, the world is soon to be surprised, as God raises them from the dead.
