, and set apart for a special work in connection with his own
people, the Jews, in the days of the coming Anti-Christ. Thus, without
any trouble, he could appear with Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration.
And it is worthy of note that before he disappeared in Horeb--the sacred
writer is mindful to tell us "Moses was an hundred and twenty years old
when he died--_his eye was not dim nor his natural force abated_" (Deut.
xxiv. 7). But, supposing Moses died naturally, there is nothing
unreasonable or irregular in concluding that God resurrected him as a
mortal for future use. True, he will die again as a witness; so there
are in heaven now eight persons who have died twice in this
world--namely:

The child raised by Elijah (1 Kings xvii. 21).
The child of Elisha (2 Kings iv. 35).
The Moabite soldier who came to life on touching the bones of Elisha (2
Kings xiii. 21).
The daughter of Jairus (Luke viii. 55).
The widow's son at Nain (Luke vii. 15).
Lazarus of Bethany (John xi. 44).
Dorcas or Tabitha by Peter (Acts ix. 40).
Eutychus by Paul (Acts xx. 10).

Anti-Christ will be a great electrician; electricity by that time will be
a fearful power in the hands of science. Edison with his genius and
marvellous discoveries, and others of like gifts, will have perfected the
use of this agent in a wonderful degree. Anti-Christ will make use of
this power to cower his enemies and bring them in fear-subjection. He
will bring fire down from heaven. The two witnesses, however, will be
clothed with Divine power; they will be able to bring fire by a simple
command--this they both understood and used when on earth.

Moses called fire down upon the 250 rebellious Korahthites, as we read in
Numbers xvi. Ahab, the King of Israel, thought to punish and compel the
obedience of Elijah; but God gave fire from heaven in answer to the
prophet's prayer. So when Ahaziah sent a captain and fifty men to bring
Elijah into the king's presence, they found him sitting on the top of a
hill and commanded him to come down. "And Elijah answered and said to
the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from
heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from
heaven, and consumed him and his fifty" (2 Kings i. 10). Thus will these
two anointed ones be able to contend with Anti-Christ and all the powers
of scientific infidels. "If any man hurt these two witnesses, by the
very means used so shall they be k
