REVELATION 11:3-14 1 And a reed like a staff was given to me, and the cherub stood, saying, Rise and anoint the sanctuary of YAHWEH and the altar, and those worshiping in it. 2 And cast aside the outside court of the sanctuary, and do not anoint it. For it has been given to the nations, and they will trample the holy city forty two months. 3 And I will give to My two witnesses, and they will prophesy a thousand, two hundred and sixty days, dressed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks, standing before the Elohim of all the earth. 1 5 And if anyone desires to harm them, fire comes out of their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone desires to harm them, he must in this manner be killed. 6 These have the authority to shut up the heaven, that no rain may rain in the days of their prophecy. And they have authority over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire. 7 And when they complete their witness, the beast coming up out of the abyss will make war with them, and will overcome them, and will kill them 1. 8 And their bodies will be on the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom, and Egypt, where our Master was crucified 2. 9 And some from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will see their dead bodies for three and a half times; and they do not allow their dead bodies to be put in tombs. 10 And those living on the earth will rejoice over them, and will make merry. And they will send one another gifts, because these two prophets tormented those living on the earth. 11 And after three and a half times, the spirit of life from YAHWEH entered into them, and they stood on their feet. And great fear fell on the ones beholding them. 12 And they heard a great voice out of Heaven saying to them, Come up here. And they went up into the heaven in the cloud. And their enemies saw them. 13 And in that hour a great earthquake occurred, and the tenth part of the city fell. And there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand names of men. And the rest became terrified, and gave glory to the Elohim of Heaven. 14 The second woe passed. And, behold, the third woe is coming quickly. ZECHARIAH 4:1-14 1 And the angel who was speaking with me returned and awakened me, as a man is awakened out of his sleep. 2 And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see, and behold, a Menorah, all of it gold, and a bowl on its top, and its seven lamps on it, and seven spouts each to the seven lamps on its top; (Rev 1:20) 3 and two olive trees are beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left. (Rev 11:4) 4 And I answered and spoke to the angel who was talking with me, saying, What are these, my master? 5 And the angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my master. 6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the Word of YAHWEH to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says YAHWEH of Hosts. 7 Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts: Grace! Grace to it! 8 And the Word of YAHWEH was to me, saying, 9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it. And you shall know that YAHWEH of Hosts has sent me to you. 10 For who has despised the day of small things? For they shall rejoice and shall see the plummet stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. These seven are the eyes of YAHWEH ; they roam around to and fro throughout all the earth. 11 And I answered and said to him, What are these two olive trees on the right of the menorah, and on its left? 12 And I answered a second time and said to him, What are the two clusters of olive trees beside the two golden pipes, emptying the golden oil from themselves? 13 And he spoke to me, saying, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my master. 14 And he said, These are the two sons of fresh oil who stand by the Master of the whole earth. Main story. My name is Okoth Richard, I have two blood brother and step brothers and sisters and a mother, my father was poisoned to death while I was still young in around the age of 5 years old ,I had a very humble beginning, in my beginning I didn’t really experienced luxurious life, I was born in a Christian family ,my whole family were catholic but with time some changed to other religions , while I was very young and my father was still alive, I lived with my father more than my mother, my other blood brothers stayed with mother more , when father died my uncle asked to look after me and my blood brothers. So I stayed with my uncle for some years under hardship, then I also happen to stay at my aunt (blood sister to my father)’s place where she was married, while I lived at my aunt’s place she inspired me to devote myself to GOD, she mentored me to prayerful life, my aunt was a very strong catholic woman, she was given the title mother in the catholic church and that was the name I used to know her by as I grew up. My aunt had always loved me as her son right from the time I was born and she had always wished I stay with her at her home . Before I was born she had only one son named Okoth Richard and her son was killed by terrorist named Kony in northern Uganda and his body was never found, she never gave birth to any other child again, when I was born the name of aunt’s only son who died was transferred to me for some reasons, she really loved me like her own son , everything that was good she had she would give me, whenever she had that I was sick or anything bad happened to me, she would ranch to provide me the treatment and simply to check on me, she had always kept me by her side never letting me go. My aunt taught me how to pray and fast, whenever she prayed I prayed with her and whenever she fast I did too with her, she used to pray five times in a day as the order was in catholic religion, she encouraged me to do so as well. She taught me to behave in a Christian manner, while I was with her she never showed me anger or hate but only love, I never forget how much my aunt showed me love like no other. Even when I left her place, I continued in the way she built me, I never abandoned anything she taught me. In the year 2000 my Uncle (brother to my mother happen to take me away from my birth land Tororo district into the city Kampala capital of Uganda where he had his own home with wife and kids. I was added into the family. I was so happy to be part of the family; his home had many luxuries as my uncle was a rich man. I had never been to a rich man’s home before nor been to the city Kampala before nor known what was like to be in the city. Everything was new to me in the city. While I lived in the city with my uncle and his family, his wife took me to school and was told to start in primary two because I didn’t know how to speak English, I studied while being coached how to read and write during the holidays, by the time I reached primary three, I had learnt how to read and write and I was the best reader and hand writer in class of p.3. One time a missionary, a white European Christian man came to our school with lots of boxes which were full of New Testament Bibles, whoever was present in school was given a Bible by this white Christian man and I happen to get one. I was very excited, I had never had book like that give to me before, so the bible was like my first textbook ever received. Since I was coached how to read and I was already good in it, I begun to read my bible starting from the introduction. I read the four gospels of Jesus and the letters and went on to read the proverbs and psalms and revelations of Jesus and later on I desired to read the old testament so one day a certain girl known as Gumisiriza who lived at my uncle’s home too gave me her holy bible which she considered old stuff to her. I made use of it by reading it right from the introduction through the genesis and to the end of the old testament and went back to the new testament, by the time I reached primary seven in 2005 I had already read the whole bible with the support of other books and the dictionary to understand the big words. The more I read the bible my life was transformed to believe in GOD in a mighty way. I could not leave the bible as I carried my bibles everywhere I went, in schools, at any visit, and anywhere else, I always slept with my bible by my side, the people who saw me including my uncle’s wife told me that I would run mad because of over reading the bible but I didn’t pay attention to their words. I was so addicted to bible reading , I couldn’t feel good without it. The words in the bible were renewing, refreshing , powerful and most of all transforming, it was my map that guided me to my treasure. The bible Reading the word of GOD from the bible raised my faith, belief, understanding, trust in GOD, everything worth before GOD was raised in me, I didn’t read the bible for the sake of reading but I was reading to understand the message and doing what the bible told me to do. The reading motivated my spirit more that I never missed a Sunday mass since I was still a catholic. I had so much passion for GOD and everything about HIM. Everything I prayed for , GOD answered me and I was indeed so happy to have known HIM while I was still very young boy. when I studied the bible I was still a catholic and I used to attend Sunday mass in the nearby catholic church but when I reached primary seven in 2005, there was a born again church which was just built very close to home. I saw that it was very close to home compared to the usual catholic church prayer house I attended, I started to attend the born again church due to its few distance to home. I didn’t know much of the born again church by then, when I entered the born again church ,I saw the dances, drumming, praise and worship, the preaching and everything else very different from the way we catholic did things in the church. I was not used to all that which was taking place in the born again church, when I was there I asked myself “what kind of church is this I have come to” because everything there was unusual to me. As I was still a young boy I never thought churches can be any different, therefore I didn’t quite expect what was happening in the born again church, I stayed in the church and learnt their way but still I couldn’t really understand who they were at those moments, but I was curious to know more from them, whenever the pastor called the people to be prayed for I was always there before pastor because I Loved GOD so much that I never liked to disobey. In 2005 right from February, I was in primary seven my last class in primary school. Something very bad begun to happen to me but I didn’t know what it was immediately, I was experiencing health problem, my whole body was beginning to get weird feeling, I could get headache all the time, my brain senses were reducing and my eye vision as well were getting low, my hearing were reducing ,felt something pressing my brain and was feeling tight and hard, my breathing was becoming impossible, could manage to speak loud enough anymore , my legs could get long severe pain from inside the borne, couldn’t tell exactly what was wrong with me at those moment. My condition was just worsening every time. I had developed thoughts that I might die very soon due to what was happening to me. When I realized this might happen, I made up my mind to pray always to GOD that he should let me be baptized first before I die. I had never wanted to die before I was baptized in church when I know it. I had a thought that was the only way to be saved from hell and go to heaven when you know and love GOD. I knew that was the only way to be saved by the baptism of water as a confirmation, I learnt that from the Catholic Church and my aunt’s who taught me the catholic faith.
