Commentary:
The Gentile Witness Book II, Elijah
Welcome to the second book of the Gentile Witness series. As in book one, I believe that tribulation will occur when these two men from God appear. However, even if you do not believe that this begins the time of tribulation and are a diehard Rapture believer, maybe this writing will give you a different perspective.
The only one clear reference in the Bible as a starting point of tribulation is in Revelations 11:3 (King James Version)
3And I will give [power] unto my two Witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Note that this verse covers the first half of tribulation or 1,260 days. During this time, based on the verses, they have control over the earth. Like Moses, they control the weather, can cause plagues, control the earth itself, and they cannot be harmed.
These verses are what prompted us to write the Gentile Witness Series. This is the result of research and studying book after book on the end times, including all of the best sellers and other commentaries on the subject.
Most prophetic novels use the basis of the “Rapture.” All have stories related to failure to make it in the first round to heaven by not being taken up at the beginning of Tribulation. Then, these characters fall in love, find God in the crisis, and save others.
These are all great story lines but not very likely to occur. The most basic reason is there is no clear biblical proof of the concept of Rapture also known as pre or post tribulation.
Now, based on research by others, about twenty percent of American Christians believe in the Rapture. Most of those who do believe this doctrine belong to evangelical Churches. This number is greatly reduced when it is measured worldwide; where it is estimated at less than ten percent. Of all the major Monolithic religions, that number goes to less than one percent. This includes all Abrahamic religions (also Semitic religions), Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Our journey in writing this series started in a dream. I woke up at 3:00 AM one day, sat down in front of the computer and wrote the outline for these books based on that dream. From that point, it took me a year to write book one and three years to complete book two. Inspired? Maybe, but then maybe not.
Therefore, I had an outline but I did not have the substance. It took a lot of research and a lot of thinking to come up with a modern day story line. These books included the Bible, and various reference books, which I recommend that you read. These include, Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, The Book of Enoch, No Rapture by Jack Wasson, and most Rapture based novels written since 1980. I also read controversial books such as the Zecharia Sitchin series of books, Karen Armstrong’s Genesis, the Enuma Elish (The Mesopotamian, Babylonian Creation Myth), Chariots of the Gods, Erich Von Dainken and various others of similar subjects. I delved into various synopses by scholars of the Qur’an (Islam), Bible (Jewish and Christian), Ramayana (Sanskrit India), Greek Mythology, and Buddhism.
I read all these books for a reason. During the time of Tribulation, not only are the Witnesses a very important part of the story but so is the Antichrist. I needed the Antichrist’s, False Prophet’s, and the Beast’s side of the story and who they were.. For during this time, they need to deceive the seven billion people on earth and lead them astray. They have to have a convincing story to tell.
That is why, although I had over half of book II written, at the time that Book I was released, I quit writing. I did not have this part of the story. The authors before in all the Rapture based novels only skimmed over this part. It is the most important thing we need to know. ‘How will the masses be deceived’? This book now explores this hypothesis.
When I finally started writing book II again, I deleted close to half of the original content and started over. The result is four stories that are now unfolding.
The ministry of Jesus Christ as told by Enoch and Elijah as the final two Witnesses
The unholy alliance of Lucifer, his son and their story
The earth’s governments being consolidated under one ruler
The Nation of Israel having to turn back the pages of time and deal with a God-sent prophet again.
This writing also covers the private thoughts of world leaders as they try to grasp what is occurring in the world. This includes Russia, China, Japan, Egypt, The European Union, Iran, America, and Israel and the concern they all have of consolidation of power of kingship into one world leader.
We also insert current and projected future technology into this writing. This includes technologies of God, Lucifer, and humanity. We based the technology used on our current scientific knowledge, and some current scientific theories. In addition, the hundreds of direct technology references in the Bible itself of which there are many.
You should realize that this book, as all prophecy books, is fiction. Yes, they are fiction. What various authors are writing about has not occurred. All books on this subject are classified as ‘science fiction, myth, and prophecy’.
Now you may ask, will Tribulation unfold like this book or other similar books have suggested? No one knows what will actually happen. Only God and His Son Jesus know. We humans, well, we can only wonder.
However, so far, this fiction has done some great things. The emails from readers are wonderful; they all have the same theme. I am trying harder to be a good Christian. Therefore, if it is only one who finds comfort in Jesus, or many, that is all that counts.
May God bless each and every one of you, Samuel David
Note on chapter titles: all times are the times in the mentioned city, state, and or country in the title.
Please note I prefer to use Lucifer in lieu of Satan. Lucifer is sometimes associated with Nebuchadnezzar II.

Chapter 1
8:45 PM Thursday Kansas City, Missouri - Liberty Memorial, Anchor Desk
John Roddenburg and his co-anchors were still staring with eyes locked on Jack, now Enoch, as he was leaving the stage. In the past hour, they had not said a word. Like the rest of the world, they had watched and listened as Jack and Elijah displayed God’s power with no commercials and no breaks.
Jack South now called Enoch, a self-proclaimed Witness of God. Shraya, now known as Elijah, the second Witness. In the past hour, in a worldwide broadcast from Kansas City, they had mesmerized the entire world. This was an astonishing display of Gods power using his two final Witnesses as never seen before.
Mary Ann turned her focus from the stage exit and then looked back at the cameras and realized they were still live. She turned her head back towards John and said, “We are live again.” As her co-anchors turned toward her she said, “I have to say, I am sure the viewers, like us, are in awe. This was an incredulous display of God’s power that was witnessed tonight.”
John looked over at Mary Ann and replied, “Yes, I agree. That was an incredible display of power.”
Geraldo added, “John, I agree. Between the attempted assassination, the biblical reenactment of the staffs turning into snakes, the thunder, lightning…Elijah walking in thin air, it’s…it’s how can I say it? Amazing!”
John and Mary nodded their heads, agreeing.
Then John said, “We also have a slow motion replay of the attempt on Jack’s life for our viewers, thanks to our technicians installing a high-speed camera for tonight’s broadcast.”
He turned to the High Definition Monitor behind the anchor desk that would show the replay of the attempt on Jack’s life. As the screen came to life, the high-speed camera captured in detail the bullet traveling towards Jack’s head. With slow motion, it was clear to the viewer how Enoch had spun his entire body around at incredible speed, while pointing his staff towards the tower. Then the blue aura had surrounded Jack instantaneously. Immediately, one could see the bullet flattening as it hit the aura surrounding Jack. He did not even stagger as the bullet fell to the stage floor.”
After the monitor went blank, Geraldo turning towards John said, “This has to be the most incredible amount of footage ever seen. Personally, there are no other words to describe what we saw other than, amazing. In an instant, after Jack spins around and points his staff, his entire body is miraculously enveloped in a blue aura, which in turns saves his life.”
“I agree Geraldo,” John said. “We have even more for our viewers. Here is a look of the replay showing Elijah walking off the stage into mid-air.”
They then turned towards the big screen monitor. The replay began and they once again saw Elijah throw the staff off the stage overlooking Union Station. It stopped in mid-air in a vertical position. They then witnessed him calmly walking off the stage into thin air, over the cliff of Memorial Park overlooking Union Station and not falling.
After the replay was finished, Mary Ann commented, “When Elijah invited Jack to walk out to meet him in thin air I could not even breathe as he took his first step.”
Geraldo commented, “What we saw was something difficult to believe or comprehend.”
Mary Ann added, “Then there was the drama of Elijah threatening the enemies of Israel and non-Jews. He ordered them to get out of their land, including Jerusalem. That was the moment it was understood he was also telling them to vacate the Temple area. What do you think, John?”
“I agree, Mary Ann. It seemed Enoch was saying that they are going to rebuild the Temple in preparation for God’s return.”
Geraldo said, “I think the emphasis of walking in thin air was to remind us of the New Testament description of Christ walking on water.”
“I agree,” John said. In addition, I am sure that after seeing this, many realize that these men have the power of God in their hands. If that is the case then no one can stop Elijah, or Enoch, for that matter.”
Geraldo nodded his head in agreement, as he chimed in, “Enoch’s statement was definitely a demand and I am definitely sure his words will cause concern not only in the Middle East but also in Israel. For unlike in biblical days, Elijah does not make policy for the Israelis. What I am saying is, how he can tell the Government of Israel what to do and what to enforce. Now he may have caused a war over the Temple Mount area.”
“We don’t know the answer to those questions Geraldo,” John said. “I do agree with you that Elijah’s statements were definitely a threat; and most likely, from his demeanor, a promise. After what we have seen here tonight, we may have to assume that Elijah, even though he is not a government leader, has the power to get others to listen to him at least, especially their religious leaders. Israel, unlike many governments has a part of their governmental system that they call ‘The Rabbinates’. It is a two person religious post in Israel. Israel elects one from the Ashkenazi side and the other from the Sephardi. They serve a term of ten years. They are recognized by law as the Supreme Halakhic. For our viewers, the word “Halakhic” means the entire body of Jewish law and tradition, comprising the laws of the Bible. They also have spiritual authority for the Jewish people in Israel. You may have noticed that in the seating area representing Israel tonight was the Rabbinate Benjamin Hagen of the Sephardi side.”
“Well John, I would assume that maybe Rabbinate Hagen and his counterpart will be working with the Israeli government to decide what to do about Elijah’s threats and or Elijah himself.”
“Only time will tell us Geraldo.”
“I think it will be interesting,” said Mary Ann, “to see what kind of statements will be made not only by the Israelis, once they conference with the Rabbinates, but their neighbors Iran, Syria, and Egypt; and of course, especially what the Palestinians will have to say.”
“If my gut feeling is correct,” John added, “the Jordanians and the Muslim Waqf will not take this lying down. They have an exclusive right to maintain the Dome of the Rock from the Israeli government since the capture of Jerusalem in the six-day war in ‘67. I am not sure how Elijah will cause the Israeli government to renege on their agreement.”
“Correct me if I am wrong, Mary Ann,” Geraldo said, “if I have my history right and based on my limited knowledge of the Qur’an, the Dome is one of Islam’s most holy places and it has something to do with Muhammad’s night journey, described in the Qur’an?”
“Yes, you are correct Geraldo. It is revered as the Noble Sanctuary ‘Bait-ul-Muqaddas. The Temple Mount is the location of Muhammad's journey to Jerusalem and ascent to heaven. Also, the Al Aqsa Mosque rests on the site along with the Dome of the Rock.”
John added, “Keep in mind, the Temple Mount is for the Jews and is where the binding of Isaac took place and the gathering of the dust to create Adam; as well as being the site of two Jewish Temples.”
Geraldo then commented, “One of the reasons the Jews have not built the Temple after capturing it in ‘67 is due to a technical issue.”
“What is that Geraldo?” Mary Ann asked.
“By law, Jews cannot walk on the holy Mount for they do not know where the Holy of Holies stood in the Temple. I am thinking that now that Elijah is here, he would definitely know the location of the Holy of Holies. Maybe he can shed some light on that also.”
“All I can say is the coming days will be interesting,” said John. “We will have to wait and see what will happen and what will be said by everyone about these pronouncements from Elijah. I mean, for Elijah to tell all Arabs to leave Israeli lands, especially Jerusalem, will most certainly be a major issue.”
“Yes, and the Middle East has been in turmoil now for several years with the regime changes in Egypt and the civil war in Syria. Add recent events such as the constant infighting between the Palestinians and the Israelis, and the ISIS movement in Iraq. Elijah’s statements tonight will definitely stir up the area,” Geraldo said.
John added, “Not counting Iran’s acquiring a nuclear bomb. This issue is still in limbo and has never been resolved even with the sanctions still in place. We do not know if they have a bomb yet or not. I can promise though, their President will not take these threats from Elijah or Israel sitting down.”
“Tonight’s statements by Elijah, for that matter, could well be the catalyst for an all-out Mideast War,” Mary Ann said. “He also said that all Jews from the lost tribes need to migrate to Israel immediately and to especially leave the United States. Elijah said America would be rendered useless.”
“This is a lot to think about, and to be honest, I am quite concerned for the status not only of the U.S. but of the whole world,” John added.
“I think we all have concerns about those statements, John,” Mary Ann said. “With the destruction caused so far in California and the hurricanes coming as Enoch predicted, we are all concerned.”
Geraldo then said, “Like everyone else, I am looking forward to the interview coming up with Jack, or Enoch, as Elijah now refers to him. Maybe he can shed some light on these concerns we have brought up.”
John said, “It would be even better if Elijah were to come with him. At the moment he seems to be the leader of the two.”
“Yes, hopefully we will find out some answers in this interview. Moreover, as you said, it would be nice if Elijah came also,” Mary Ann said.
