Then verse 3 says the Two Witnesses were given power to give prophecy for 1260 years. This was Muhammad and Ali.
Make up your mind... They "prophecy" for 1260 lunar years.
By verse 7 the beast arises and this is the Umayyad caliphate who broke the Covernant of Muhammad and did not follow the appointed Successors Ali.
The dead bodies laying in the street represents the Umayyad caliphate Islam which was a faith of laws without the Spirit given by Muhammad, basically a dead faith. This Islam lasted until the year 1260, or 1844.
So, while Muhammad and Ali, who are already dead, but are still giving their prophecy you say until the year 1260, the beast arises, which you say is the Umayyad dynasty, that started in 661AD and ended in 750AD. This beast kills the two witnesses and they are dead from 622 until 1260, then come back to life. Here's the quote from Revelation...
Rev 11:7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them. 8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city—which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. 10 The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
11 But after the three and a half days the breath[
b] of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet...
It says they had finished their testimony. A testimony that lasted 1260 days, that you turn into years. And then the beast kills them and they are dead for 3 1/2 days, which you convert to be 1260 years. So, they are alive and preaching and dead at the same time. But there are more prophecies that you convert to 1260 years that come later. And those too, you make start and stop at the same time.
But... there are more problems. You make the year 661AD to be the mark or number of the beast, 666. And you do that by adding 5 years to 661, because you say Jesus wasn't born in the year "0". But you don't know exactly when Jesus was born, but you make it 5 years to fit your interpretation. But... let's move on.
By verse 11 it is introducing the Bab, Muhammad was the first Woe, the Bab is the 2nd Woe and Baha'u'llah I the 3rd Woe that came quickly.
There are more than 100 times the "Woes" are mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian NT. Why are these "Woes" people? People you call manifestations of God. Now during each "Woe" things happen, do they fit what happened during the life of that particular person? Here's what happens during the second "Woe". Which you claim is the Bab...
12 The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.
13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God. 14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.
17 The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur. 18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. 19 The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.
20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
I do not need a start date CG
1260 minus 1260 equals year 0 in the Islamic calendar. Which is the year 622. That's your start date, which I doubt was the start date for any of those prophecies. And there's also a start date for the prophecies in Daniel. One of them might be the year that a decree went out to rebuild Jerusalem, but that's not the start date of the other one. That is the year the abomination of desolation was set up.
It's a nice try. But there's a lot of holes in your interpretation. You like it? You believe it? That's just great. All it shows to me is that Baha'is don't think for themselves but follow along with whatever their religion tells them is true.
