The Two Witnesses: The Old Testament & the New Testament

Shalom Brothers and Sisters of Christ. There are two witnesses: the Old Testament & the New Testament, both filled with the testimonies of God’s people. In the scriptures, there are many accounts of the Creator speaking to his people, who serve as his witnesses. He has communicated through prophets, their dreams and visions, and the outpouring of his Holy Spirit.

What was spoken through the prophet Joel in the Old Testament was later proclaimed by the apostle Peter in the New Testament. Both passages bear witness to the Creator’s promise to pour out his Spirit upon his people.

Joel 2:28–32 (NLT) — The Lord’s Promise of His Spirit

📜 Old Testament — Joel 2:28–32 (KJV) And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

📜 New Testament — Acts 2:17–21 (KJV) – Peter Proclaims Joel’s Prophecy

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

The Old Testament contains the original prophecy, while the New Testament bears witness to its proclamation and fulfillment through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. These scriptures remind us that the Creator has communicated with his people throughout generations. Both passages speak of sons and daughters prophesying, dreams and visions, wonders in the heavens and upon the earth, and the coming Day of the Lord. The Creator is still speaking through his people today, and God’s chosen people are his witnesses. During my awakening journey, as I shared my testimony, God revealed that I had completed a period of 1,260 days. This spanned from the start of my spiritual awakening in July 2012 to the final vision I received after a 40-day fast in 2015. The last dream came to me on December 13, 2015. My mind was blown.

As time progressed something greater was being revealed to me that was happening among our people. I recall the vision of me being caught up in the spirit on July 3, 2012. The holy spirit descended and spoke through me. The message that came through indicated that the 144,000 was NOW awakening and I referenced the 12,000 from the 12 Tribes of Israel. So much occurred over the years and I had received so many dreams and visions. I think all that time the Creator was showing me how the ministry of the two witnesses would be fulfilled. It now makes more since why the heavenly messengers were being sent to me. They were showing me something that I couldn’t quite understand in the beginning.

Prophecy is unfolding differently than most people anticipated or how the church has taught over the years. This is how people will be caught off guard. They have no idea that we are the ones fulfilling the prophecies. The chosen ones here in America are overlooked while Christians are paying close attention to the people in Israel. On my journey, Yahshua gave me a sign through his actions with me. After I was awakened, I was guided to meet someone else. Later, I began to notice how the Most High was pairing people together, whether two brothers working side by side or a husband and wife. On November 28, 2012, a mysterious man appeared, and I remember my brother-in-law saying, “Is that Moses?” He was dressed in fine linen garments, walking down the street, and looked directly at me as I sat in the car. He carried a staff with a red ribbon tied at the top. I was puzzled, unsure of who had sent him or where he came from. To this day, I have no idea who he was. I thought he might have been an angel, because when I looked back, he was gone. Maybe he walked away so quickly that I didn’t notice. I really want to know who that man was. – Seraphim Sophia

The Feast of Trumpets: The Bride Prepares Herself for the Appointed Time and the Return of Yahshua Ha’Mashiach!

Greetings, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ from around the world! Yesterday, I went before the Creator in prayer, not realizing at the time that the Feast of Trumpets would begin at sunset. During my prayer, I reached out to God and His holy council in Paradise, suggesting and requesting that a meeting or gathering be held on the Feast of Trumpets. I felt that a message needed to be shared with the children of Israel: that we should seek to align ourselves with the appointed feast days. I expressed this because I have noticed over the years that people have sometimes observed the feast days on different dates, leaving us out of sync with one another.

My desire is simply to see greater order, unity, and spiritual alignment grow among the children of Israel. Even though we may not all be able to gather together physically, we can still come together in spirit, no matter where we are in the world. When we all observe the feast days together, it shows that we are truly united in spirit, and I believe it means a great deal to the Creator to see His people finally coming together during these appointed times. I’m grateful that I realized the Feast of Trumpets was here because I truly did not want to miss observing this special day. I recently completed a 21-day fast on September 11, 2026. Toward the end of my fast, I caught a cold from my husband, so we have both been trying to recover and feel better over the past week.

Now that the Feast of Trumpets is here, I find myself deeply reflecting on the meaning of this appointed time. I attempted to watch a lesson from a Hebrew couple on YouTube, but I just couldn’t seem to tune into the message. Instead, I felt led to turn my attention directly toward the Creator, to become still, reflect, and seek Him for myself. So today, as I observe the Feast of Trumpets, I want to focus my heart and attention on the following scripture:

Matthew 24:31: And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.

I’ve been thinking about the last trumpet sounding, the 7th trumpet. Revelation 11:15 states, Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven: “The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever. In this verse I am expecting a major change of heavenly administration that will eventually transforms the conditions on Earth. There will be a new heaven and a new earth. A new cycle will begin and with that I think about the New Jerusalem, the capital city of Paradise. I’m looking toward the higher realms beyond this earthly life. I’m not sure where the thoughts of the children of Israel are during this feast day, but my mind is always on the promised land in Paradise. While many keep seeking a physical place, I look upward to the very heights of heaven here on Earth to return to the original holy land which exists in a higher dimension.

Today marks the start of a new month, and a new season is ahead. I look forward to the coming of the kingdom of God. May the Ancient Gates of Paradise open to those who will be ascending. The sound of the trumpet during the Feast of Trumpets feels like it’s preparing God’s people for what’s to come. It’s a season of readiness, and when I think of preparation, I picture the bride making herself ready. This is what the spiritual awakening journey has been all about, after all.

Revelation 19:6-8 Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd or the roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder: “Praise the Lord! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice,
and let us give honor to him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself. She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear.” For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s holy people.

Many of the children of Israel heard the awakening call, and many chose to rededicate themselves to the Most High. Some of us decided not to follow everyone in the world but be led by the holy spirit. Some of us asked for the holy spirit to descend into our temple to complete the work. Some of us started preparing ourselves to get in alignment with the divine laws of the Creator, but we had to learn the way and find the tree of life. Some of us realized that it was time to sincerely repent and put our lives in order, so we sought the Creator of All with all our heart, mind, body, and soul. Many of us were guided to focus on cleansing and purifying ourselves, allowing the Creator to refine us. Some of us didn’t focus on becoming leaders or teachers in the community; instead, we took time to personally get to know the Creator. We spend time alone learning and gaining wisdom directly from the kingdom of heaven. Many of us welcomed the holy angels from the heavenly kingdom of Paradise to minister to us as we prayed, fasted, and observed the Sabbath day. Many of us let the Creator fill us with His light and love. Over time, we learned how to walk in truth, love, and light. Many of us then became wise virgins and now at this time we wait for the appointed time for the gates of heaven to open.

In the seventh month, so much unfolds during the fall feasts. Heaven and earth seem to align during appointed times. During alignments, portals seem to open, creating a direct connection. There’s a reason the children of Israel were instructed to observe the feast days. Perhaps there’s a hidden mystery within them. I often wonder what might be unfolding in the heavens at the same time we are observing the appointed feast days here on earth. Surely in heaven during the New Moon there is an assembly taking place. I wonder what might be discussed in the heavenly meetings. Maybe there’s a large gathering within the heavenly administration, with members of the councils talking about both heavenly and earthly matters, going over the work that still needs to be done, and perhaps assigning tasks to angelic beings.

Well, I think I’m going to just end this post here there is more to come as I continue reflecting upon the rest of the feast days that are coming and what it truly means to be the Bride. I believe it’s all preparation for our ascension and return to Paradise. When I think about the 7th Feast Day with is the Feast of Tabernacles it feels like the appointed time and the completion of God’s holy plan. In the end, the children of God will dwell with Him in Paradise, the Creator’s heavenly kingdom on Earth, yet we can also ascend to higher worlds beyond Paradise on Earth. My mind often turns to heavenly city of New Jerusalem, where the Holy Mount of Zion is located. All I can think about is the heavenly administration of God’s holy kingdom working from the higher realms of Earth. May the holy angels descend from Paradise, and may the gates be opened to welcome the Bride of Christ.

I suppose I will just end the post with an announcement by blowing this trumpet on the new moon, the Feast of Trumpets: “Prepare for the return of Yahshua Ha’machiach, the Wedding Feast of the Lamb is near!” Keep your robes clean and endure till the end.

Brothers and Sisters, I can’t stop thinking about the incredible celebration that will happen when we’re all together in heaven with Christ, the ancient prophets, the saints, and everyone who has received the light and love of the Creator of all. So many of us have experienced so many trials and tribulations in our lives and many of us are crying out for deliverance. I don’t know what others are praying for, but I sure hope our deliverance is near. -Seraphim Sophia (Latisha W.)
