Acts: The Spread of the Gospel

This study is taken from John MacArthur's "Acts: The Spread of the Gospel." My prayer and goal for this devo is that we will learn more about how the early church laid the foundation for what we possess today, and that we would allow God to use us to turn our world upside for Him!

This will be an exciting journey, so encourage others to join you! I'm looking forward to the interaction we will have on this blog as we study the book of Acts!

The devos will differ in format from day to day, but two things are constant: 1) a daily reading, and 2) additional Scripture passages that are in bold. Be sure to read any and all of the readings/bold verses that appear so that you can see the full picture of what is taught that day.

Remember, you can access any of the previous devos that have been posted from the "Blog Archive" section on the left side of this page.

The Two Witnesses - Part 5 - Devo for 02/20/2009

Reading
Revelation 10:1-11:19

Going Deeper
The problem of evil is not new. King David encountered many enemies of God and saw evil men flourish. Read what he observed in Psalm 2:1-12.

Exploring the Meaning
1. Describe the nations' attitude toward God. What is the psalmist's advice to them?

2. Who is the "King of Zion" mentioned here (vv. 6-7)? What will he accomplish?

3. In Revelation 11, we've seen how the two witnesses play a major role in the unfolding of the events. Read Mark 9:1-10. Why do many commentators and Bible scholars believe that the two witnesses will be Moses and Elijah?
(Verses to consider: Deuteronomy 18:15-18; 34:5-6; 2 Kings 2:11; Malachi 4:5, 6; John 1:21; James 5:17)

1 They have turned against God and want to take control of everything. David advices them to serve the Lord with fear.

2. It is Jesus. He will break them with an iron rod and brake them like potter's vessels.

3. Because the bible never shows tells that they died. Elijah was taken to heaven and Moses was buried but no one knows where. They were also present at the transfiguration. The bible also mentions them.

1. They wanted all the power and turned against God so David told them to always fear God because His anger can flare up in a moment and they can be destroyed.

2. Jesus. He will destroy them.

3. Because I believe it is because of all the important things God has them in in certain times in the Bible, they are mentioned a lot concerning this.
