T he Spirit of Elijah 6  

[The Great Tribulation]

Revelation 11:3-13  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.   These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.   And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies:   and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.   These have power to shut the heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy:   and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.   And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill  them.   And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.   And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.   And they that dwell on the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another;  because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.   And after three days and a half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet;  and great fear fell upon them which saw them.   And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither.   And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud;  and their enemies beheld them.   And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand:   and the remnant were affrighted and gave glory to the God of heaven.

In the fifth and final application of the Spirit of Elijah, the physical personage of Elijah will stand upon the earth.   Together with Moses, he will operate as one of the two witnesses during the great tribulation period, the last three and a half years of time immediately prior to the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
