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

Decoding the Mysteries of My March 21, 2018 Vision: “This Day Came Ye Out” — Coming Out of the Cave

Shalom, brothers and sisters of the Light. I am now reflecting more on my dream, but even more on everything the Creator has given me over time. My dreams and visions hold great meaning for me, and emerging from the cave to be led into what I later believed represented the wedding feast with Christ was truly amazing. Yahshua called me in the vision on the day after the spring equinox, which was March 21, 2018, and I waited for him at the entrance of the cave. I stepped out of the cave and saw Yahshua sitting on a white horse, dressed in a pure white linen robe. It was one of the best dreams ever and I hold on to it. So, let’s move forward, early in my spiritual journey, I was drawn to the book of Exodus.

On July 27, 2013, after drifting back to sleep in the early morning hours of the Sabbath day, I heard a man’s voice say, “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” After the experience I instantly thought of Moses and his experiences. I was also thinking I’m no Moses lol! Why did the God of my ancestors come to me? Surely, he had been watching me. I felt like Moses was called for a purpose and he led the children of Israel out of Egypt into the wilderness. Back in July 2012, I was given an assignment that I now feel I’m fulfilling—writing to share my testimony and all that I’ve experienced since my spiritual awakening. I’ve had dreams and visions, and I believe the Creator has guided me to share them along with the lessons they’ve taught me. I think of myself simply as a messenger of God.

So, with reflecting upon Moses, I was led to the book of Exodus and there I could see a pattern. Perhaps the Creator was trying to show me the importance of the signs of the times. I’m not sure how others feel in these times we’re living in, but I believe a deliverance is needed, and I eagerly await the coming of Yahshua. It feels like waiting for a second exodus, but this time we will be led by Yahshua.

Exodus 13:3–4 (KJV) states, And Moses said unto the people, remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten. This day came ye out in the month Abib.

When we look back at the appointed time of deliverance for the children of Israel from Egypt, it took place during the Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread. It’s quite interesting that Yahshua died on Passover, all pointing to a season which is spring. This is significant because I had my dream the day after the spring equinox, which hints at a particular season. Yahshua returned to me in Spring and we attended a feast, but it seemed like a wedding or some sort of celebration. I connected the setting of the vision to a wedding feast because I was asked to be the Bride of Christ. I hope people understand who the Bride is according to the scriptures. I see the Bride as his faithful servants, those who follow and stand with him, like the example of the 144,000. I always reference Revelation 19;7 when it says, “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. Being asked to become the Bride felt like a special invitation. Afterwards, I created an invitation to the Wedding Feast and shared it online, feeling joyful about the upcoming gathering. In the vision, he dismounted from the white horse took my hand, and led me to the banquet table where I took my seat. It felt as though I was a guest being guided to my table. In the dream, Yahshua served me, preparing my plate and bringing it to me before sitting across from me. It was simply amazing.

Now the month of Abib begins with the arrival of the spring equinox. The spring equinox occurred on March 20th in 2018, and it was the first day of Abib. Yahshua visited me on a white horse the day after the spring equinox, indicating the season of his return. This is just something from my dream. I’m not claiming that Spring will definitely be the appointed season; I’m simply sharing what was revealed in my dream. I’m analyzing my dream because I see a pattern.

In Song of Solomon Ch. 2 the beloved woman is called to come away immediately after announcing that winter has passed. Spring is the next season after winter. As I reflect on my dreams and real life, I realize I’ve been awaiting Yahshua’s return. I have a special place where I meet and speak with God, a secret chamber away from the world where it’s just him and me. For so long, I’ve hidden myself from the rest of the world, finding safety in this special location because I feel God’s presence surrounding me whenever I enter. I get to enjoy the sunrise as I look east, and I am reminded of Paradise in this location. I just feel good, relaxed and at peace. When I go to my secret place it’s as though I am finding refuge in the love of the Most High. At times I have to get away and run to him, it’s really my place of peace and it’s where I find rest and comfort.

Now that I am thinking about it, that’s what I need right now, peace, rest and comfort. I look forward to the next time when I can go to my special place to meet with God and have the angels to minister to me. It’s needed now but there is so much going on. As I further reflect on the meaning of being the Bride, it brings up faithfulness. No matter what I go through in life, whether trials or tribulations, I will stay faithful to the Creator and keep following the light of Christ. I will strive to do my best, give my all, and work toward becoming the best version of myself. The bride must stay pure, avoiding corruption and wickedness. We need to keep ourselves set apart in this world, filled with righteousness even in the face of suffering. We should rise above the temptations of the material world and strive for self-mastery.

Being in the presence of Yahshua is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced on this earth. It felt like I was receiving pure love from him. Through my encounters with him, I felt like he genuinely cares about me. I’ve had this feeling that he hasn’t forgotten about me. In another vision, he said that he would come back to get me and he kept his promise to me. In the dream he did show up, and I went with him into the feast. I just can’t wait until it becomes reality beyond the vision. So, I look forward to his return. The vision meant a lot to me because he unexpectedly showed up when I needed him. He was kind and such a gentleman. I did feel special for a moment.

There was a sense of safety in being near him, and I never wanted to leave his side. I just can’t find that feeling or that kind of pure love in this world with anyone. Yahshua has a pure heart and I truly believe he loves us all. That vision lifted my spirit, and I was so excited and happy. It gave me hope and something to look forward to. I am holding on to this dream and will always remember it. So, brothers and sisters, know that Yahshua loves you to. The Creator of All loves all of his creation. We just have to return back to him, live in righteousness and holiness and remain pure and faithful. Remain hopeful, stay watchful and pay attention to the seasons because the Creator is showing us something in plain sight.

There was a reason why the children of Israel were told to keep the feast days as they were God’s appointed times. There is a pattern of events that happens and I’m certain many will be able to discern the signs of the return of Yahshua. I think it’s been revealed to us in some way, not the exact day but the season or timeframe. There will be signs in the heavens, and those signs are hidden in ancient text. I leave you in the light and love of the Creator. May the love of the Creator and His holy sons and daughters be with you all. That’s all for now. -Seraphim Sophia
