Then what does it mean to witness Christ? It should mean that whoever witnessed Christ should have seen or heard Him. It should mean that Christ came in the flesh. Lets see in the Bible.
Hebrews 9:28 "...so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him."
The verse above states that Christ will appear a second time in the same manner that he appeared the first, in the flesh. At the end of the verse it specifically says, "to those who are waiting for him." Then whoever is waiting for Second Coming Christ will witness Him when He comes. Let's see if the Bible testifies witnesses to Jehovah and to Jesus Christ, so that we can have a better confirmation that there will actually be witnesses of Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong in the last days.
Isaiah 43:10-11 "'You are my witnesses,' declares the LORD, 'and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.'"
In the above verse, the LORD Jehovah is confirming to Isaiah that he was a chosen by Jehovah to witness to Jehovah. But why? If you see in the verse it says, "...so you may know and believe me and understand I am he..." Witnesses are imperative. They are the ones who understand God because they have seen, heard, and experienced Him firsthand. Let's see in the New Testament.
Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Around 2,000 years ago, Jesus appeared to the disciples and believers at that time and confirmed to them that they have witnessed Him, The Christ. Then the only ones who can truly let us know about Jesus Christ are the ones who witnesses Him. The Apostles and believers at that time.
How amazing that God gives us a way to truly know and confirm who He is. God lets us know whose word we should trust when we want to know about Him. Then if we want to know about Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong we should seek his witnesses. But where can we find his witnesses? Let's see what the Bible testifies.
Revelation 14:1 "Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads."
The Lamb is Jesus Christ (John 1:29). Keep in mind that when the apostle John wrote the book of Revelation that is was around 97AD meaning after Jesus Christ already ascended to the Kingdom of Heaven. Then the above verse is talking about the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and His witnesses. They are standing on Mt. Zion. Let's see where Mt. Zion is in the Bible.
Isaiah 33:20 "Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet home, A tabernacle that will not be taken down; Not one of its stakes will ever be removed, Nor will any of its cords be broken."
Zion is where God's feasts are kept, and where we can find the witnesses that can testify to Christ Ahnsahnghong in the last days!
Leviticus 23:1 "The LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies, The Sabbath... Passover & Unleavened Bread... First Fruits... Feast of Weeks... Feast of Trumpets... Day of Atonement... Feast of Tabernacles...'"
On Mt. Zion, where all of these Feasts are kept, is where we can find the true witnesses, and Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong.
What a great blessing it is to be a witness prophesied in the Bible. What a greater blessing it is having been able to meet Christ Ahnsahnghong.
