THE TESTIMONY.
(Of Revelation 11:7 NEB).

The Spirit that permeates the bitter "Little Scroll" includes much detailed written evidence against apostate error and denunciations of God poured out upon demonic expressions raised up against the Divine knowledge of  God.  (See Rev 10:8-11 11:3). This knowledge was first communicated to Spirit anointed sons of God, and then to the rest of mankind, through the Word of The Christ the Holy Bible.

"But when they (anointed witnesses of God on earth) have completed their testimony, the beast that comes up from the abyss will wage war upon them and will defeat and kill them."  (11:7 NEB).

The "Little Scroll" of Revelation 10:8-11 is THEIR TESTIMONY. The work of uploading a copy of the original manuscript of the "Little Scroll" on the littlescroll.freeserve.co.uk website was completed on the 12th October 2000. On that very same day we discovered that the company 'Freeserve' had presumptuously removed the whole of the "Little Scroll" from its website, giving no prior notification of their decision. They and certain other sectarian groups have proved unacceptable as "bankers" for the "Little Scroll".

A letter expressing disapproval of their Godless actions was sent to the Managing Director of 'Freeserve' the following day. But satan had already acted swiftly, employing worshippers of the "wild beast" to wage war upon and defeat the testimony of the "Little Scroll" for the nations at that time.

After being "trampled" on during the "appointed times" by the "man of lawlessness" within Christ's congregations, I as a member of the "two witnesses" of God  (The Christ Michael and his anointed brothers on earth)  was told to'Come up here!'   The writings of the "Little Scroll" followed.  (11:12 NEB).

After the testimony of the "Little Scroll" is completed, the "third woe" of the seventh "trumpet" will herald the Sovereign Rule of Almighty God over all the earth     with retribution upon His enemies and recompense to His just servants to follow.  (11:14-18).  At this juncture, the important questions are:

Question (1)

What is meant by the command to anointed witnesses of God to 'Come up here'?

Answer (1)

So that: "I shall show you the things that must take place." "After these things I immediately came to be in the power of the Spirit" means anointed sons of God are in the process of being given prior knowledge of "the things that must take place."  (4:1,2).

Question (2)

Why did Almighty God Jehovah allow the "beast" to come up from the "abyss" to defeat the testimony of this witness of God on earth, and so prevent the nations from seeing it?

Answer (2)

After apostates in the spiritual "land" of God had "trampled" on His anointed "temple" slaves for "forty-two months", Jehovah then granted worshippers of the "wild beast" leave to wage war upon His anointed witnesses for the same length of time.  Jehovah chose this means to reveal who  would be loyal to His anointed sons even though the testimony of the "Little Scroll" appeared  defeated and its saving work among Jews and Gentiles thwarted.  (11:2,7.  13:4-8)  (See Subject Index:  "Appointed Times").

That is why with reference to the "Little Scroll" it is written: "You must prophesy again with regard to peoples and nations and tongues and many kings." (10:11).  Prophesying again will succeed when the heavenly sanctuary of God is reopened during the "day of retribution" for His enemies and recompense for His servants, revealing who truly are heirs of the Kingdom of God.  (11:17-19 NEB).
