Whose voice ? (Revelation 11:12)

“And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.” Revelation 11:12 - King James

 

 

⚪ The voice of Jesus

11:12. And they heard a great voice from Heaven — The voice last referred to—the Lord Jesus Himself, the "voice," the "Word," of the Heavenly Father. Saying unto them, Come up hither.—"The Two Witnesses of God, the Old and New Testaments, ascended to heaven, the place of honor and power, as the Scriptures symbolically represent the matter." — Z/15-199.

⚫ The voice of Jehovah

At the Cedar Point convention in 1919, and in The Watch Tower, many scriptures were produced supporting the conclusion that the Elijah work ended in the fiery trouble of 1918 and that now the Elisha work of the church must begin. It was a voice from heaven, because it was Jehovah's voice. "And they [God's faithful witnesses] heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them." (Vs. 12) Source : 🇺🇸 1930 - Light, Vol 1, page 212 + Cover
