Chiropractor/naturopath/end time prophet/self proclaimed authority on 2012 and the COG, Bob Thiel claims that the two witnesses are sitting in the Living Church of God right now. Who they are he has no idea, but the only logical explanation is that only LCG could produce those two righteous people. Anyone outside LCG is an ignorant fool and is to be ignored.
.
Of course, I do believe that God will raise up the two witnesses, and I believe that they are alive now. However, I believe that they are very likely to be part of the Living Church of God, so when I get emails from people outside of the COG who make such claims (and who never have any real proof, just assertions) I feel that they can safely be eliminated from consideration.
He claims to have gotten a letter recently from a man and his daughter claiming to be the two witness, as well as from another person
He then launches into the two witless witnesses Ronnie Weinland and his wife. At least Bob has the brains to see the witless witnesses as the complete morons they are.
But, then goes on to say that whenever the witnesses arrive on the scene they will be wearing some kind of dark clothing:
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, And I make sackcloth their covering (Isaiah 50:3).The implication in the above scriptures is that biblical sackcloth is black–thus it seems that the two witnesses wear some cloth that is black, hence my use of the Men in Black photo at the beginning of this article.
12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood (Revelation 6:12).
While it is remotely possible that the two witnesses will not wear actual physical sackcloth, Revelation 11:13 is not speaking of just humility, but specifically that the clothing of the two witnesses will not be fancy–probably in contrast to the beast, who is likely to be flashy/wealthy in appearance.And in particular, I also suspect that the two witnesses actually will sometimes wear some literal sackcloth, at least at times. And that they will wear at least some black while they are publicly warning the world.
