At our wedding?

 


I'm going to read it 

and pronounce it fulfilled:


Revelation 11:3-4


And I will appoint my two witnesses, 

and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, 

clothed in sackcloth.” 

They are 

“the two olive trees” 

and the two lampstands, 

and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”


Zech. 4:3,11,14


It ought to sound familiar 

to what somebody else announced

 in his home place of worship

when he announced

the start of his ministry.


It really should.


Luke 4:14-21

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.

He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:


“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,

    because he has anointed me

    to proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners

    and recovery of sight for the blind,

to set the oppressed free,

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”


Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, 

“Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”


"The goal of every Christian is to be as Christlike as they possibly can."


It has to be done. 

So it shall be.


Promise.
