To determine the truth, or even to declare the TRUTH, of OUR GOD, two or more witnesses are required.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth; at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established.
We are given two declarations that the witness of two or three is required. The initial read is someone to be put to death, which is the most extreme case in a judgment. Yet in Deuteronomy 19 it is extended to the establishment of a matter: Truth.
Why is the establishment on the witness of two, to determine the TRUTH so important?
One of the first revelations for me, a long time ago, was that The LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL, demonstrates the LAW before we are given a law. This witness should be a powerful revelation for you, that is if you want to know the truth.
Examples of the Witness of Two:
Two views of the Creation Story; One from GOD’S view looking down(Genesis 1) and One from man’s view looking up(Genesis 2).
There are ten generations prior to the Flood of Noah, for the world to get so evil that destruction was determined.
Destruction of life on earth has not happened twice YET! — The next is by Fire and defined as the LAST DAY.
The Instruction to NOAH (Genesis 9:
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them: ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the earth, and multiply therein.
Original Instruction to MAN: Genesis 1:
26 And God said: ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
28 And God blessed them; and God said unto them: ‘Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creepeth upon the earth.’
Sons of GOD, daughters of man. Text is:
7 Then the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. –Man’s created, Spirit of GOD in the dust, used to create man.(Son of GOD)
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the place with flesh instead thereof.
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And the man said: ‘This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.’ –Woman is created, Rib of man used to great woman. (Daughter of man)
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives, whomsoever they chose.
4 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.
There are ten generation after the Flood of Noah, to get to the Tower of Babel(Genesis 11:3 And they said one to another: ‘Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.’ And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4 And they said: ‘Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.’) which had the purpose of Fighting against The Almighty. In that in (Genesis 11:7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the earth, and multiply therein.’), we were to spread out an fill the earth, which with this city we refused GOD and built in opposition to GOD.
The Tower of Babel has not happened twice YET! — A one world government has been in the works for sometime, so that a few can control all the people of the earth and god is not permitted. Seems like Babel, is in the works.
Genesis 12: GOD to Abraham
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse; and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’
Genesis 27: Issac to Jacob
29 Let peoples serve thee, and nations bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee. Cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be every one that blesseth thee.
Genesis 28: Isaac to Jacob
3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a congregation of peoples;
4 and give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land of thy sojournings, which God gave unto Abraham.’
1 And the LORD appeared unto him by the terebinths of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2 and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed down to the earth, (Three Men – Angels)
20 And the LORD said: ‘Verily, the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and, verily, their sin is exceeding grievous.
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto Me; and if not, I will know.’
22 And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. –(Two went down and one remains)
1 And the two angels came to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom; and Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he fell down on his face to the earth; –(Proof that two went down, for two arrived.)
Why two angels? To know the truth: Genesis 18:21.
A couple of quick one to demonstrate that the part is everywhere. Abram has Sari taken by both Pharaoh king of Egypt(Genesis 12) and Abimelech king of Gerar(Genesis 20). In both cases GOD defend Sari and the king takes Sari because Abram has said that “she is my sister”. In both cases Abram explains that she IS his sister. In both cases, Abram is afraid for his life, because the people in this place may kill me to get Sari. In both cases she is taken for the king. She mast have been an amazing beauty.
Joseph has two dreams(Genesis 37). In prison the baker and cup bearer each have a dream the Joseph declares that GOD(Genesis 40:8 And they said unto him: ‘We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it.’ And Joseph said unto them: ‘Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it me, I pray you.’) knows the meaning of. Both interpretations come true. Pharaoh has two dreams(Genesis 41) that are the same, but one is grain the other cattle, Joseph is called from prison because the cup bearer(Genesis 41:9..13) gives witness that the young man interpreted two dreams at the same time and they both came true. Joseph declares to Pharaoh that GOD interprets the dreams.(Genesis 41:16)
The point of this writing is to demonstrate that THE LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL keeps HIS LAW before telling us the LAW. The Law of Two or more witnesses is performed all over the Tanakh, if something has only happened once, it is because it is till coming.
Last example: Moses is told “Exodus 32: 10 Now therefore let Me alone, that My wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of thee a great nation.’”
And again in “Numbers 14:12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and destroy them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.’”
So if it has not happened a second time yet, take heed it is coming again.
My prayer is that The LORD grant you eyes that see, ears that hear and an understanding heart, then you may return unto HIM soon!
