As expected the wacko sites are having a field day:
"Well. it makes me wonder if it could be one of the witnesses. He is wearing garments that don't fit this era...and kind of old ancient looking. Hmm...How old was Elijah or Enoch when they left the planet? If it is one of them...they would return at the age they left....and then get their new bodies at the end of their mission when they are taking up. Lots of food for thought..or are they in new bodies now..Just speculating here! He has a staff....also wonder about Moses being a witness as well."
"What he's wearing jumped off the page to me based on Rev 11:
Revelation 11:3. “And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.”
"Or maybe his there to be seen before the destruction comes.
He is wearing sackcloth .
This is either the real deal or ,a massive putt on.
That's obvious!
But either way,if it is a putt on,it still speaks volumes,in regard to the timing of it all.
To manny coincidences going on at the moment. "
"Now this is something you don't see everyday. He has the watchers buzzing! The two witnesses should appear to the world together. Where is the other one?"
"I agree with you brother Daniel, even if this is a publicity stunt- what boldness! how many of us are too timid to even hand out a gospel tract to a stranger! On the other hand these are prophetic days and it is nearing Passover, maybe he is one of the 2"
"Maybe the other one is hiding down in the drain just waiting for the right time to come out?
"
"Ok one last speculation- some say if he was one of the 2 would he not show up in Israel - unless since the age of Grace has not ended yet& God is still dealing with the Church he shows up at the "official" seat of the church... "
"Wow my son just gave me his theory. This guy can't talk until we leave and he is infact kneeling at the truely holiest place in the Vatican. It is where the waters meet. (he wouldn't be at the church or any statues would he) "
"Ok more observations from my child. There are 64 drain holes. How do you get that much legit wear tear and staining on such an uncomfortable outfit in your closet? And what kind of wood is the staff made from where it reflects sunlight through it like a fingernail? "
"Funny thing.........I saw him and the first thing I thought was 1 of the witnesses. Just because he isn't being obvious, doesn't mean he wont become that way soon. He may be waiting for the right moment. Lets see if the 2nd shows up.....its almost time for Passover,
Guess we have to wait and see."
"Here is a different shot, where you can see the gentleman's bag a little more clearly. It looks like it could be a Bible. I have my Bible in one of those type of things."
"I will continue to believe this is one of the witnesses until I am told otherwise. God is sending so many signs to us right now, that I refuse to dismiss this!!! We are so close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
"My first instinct was to conclude, "every major city has its nutjobs, Rome even more..."
But the sincerity of some of the people here that I tend to trust has me thinking maybe there is more to this guy...?
Let's wait and see. "
"This is AMAZING...the moment I saw him on an abc website I nearly jumped out of my skin. Is it one of the witnesses? Why does he have two bags? I looked at his clothes, they look like those burlap sacks? So many questions.... if nothing else it is interesting. Maybe someone has something, I am going to search the internet now. This is just crazy. So much is happening I have chill bumps. I have been praying every night for the Lord to give me something but so far I just have been having crazy dreams."
"Now if he shows up in Isreal 20th-23 and happens to be with someone else....ding....ding...ding...
Rev 11:3 or could read
1
1+1=2
1+1+1=3
123 reversed is 3:21..liftoff? and is the last chapter and verse before 3:22...4:1 the bride is removed April fools! (
)
He looks like someone from that era.
Imho these 2 witnesses will be extremely humble, yet wield awesome power. "
"He probably kneeled on the grate so he could offer up the suffering for his sins... well, that's what he'd be thinking.
The nuns used to tell us to offer up our suffering for our sins."
"I would be interested in seeing in the next few days or already if their is a picture of a second man seen in Israel. Going to start looking..... "
"Wasn't Elijah bald, or was that Elisha? And Moses was an much older man, at the end of his days. Whoever he is, he is giving a lot of people pause to think. Nutjob or not, bless his heart. "
"A lovable nut job.....(sigh) I am so desperate to leave this life that I look for scripture signs in my alphabet soup.
"
"This is a very beautiful and soulful man. I'll admit, I felt a jolt the first time I saw his photo and immediately, like many of you, were reminded of the two witnesses.
This may be a sign from the Lord to keep watch! Amen? "
"I hope he's one of us nut jobs.
His heart seems to be in the right place,I'm just curious about his motives for doing what he does.
Hope his not a salvation by works type guy.
Either way that's between him and our lord. "
