THE TWO WITNESSES AND SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
“Sure,” Austin said. Within a moment he began, “And
if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth,
and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them,
he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut
heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and
have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite
the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.”
“Thanks,” Lowell said. “Since these two prophets live
up to about the time Christ returns, all the plagues they smite
the earth with will have to be what plagues?”
Landon cleared his throat and said, “Those that are part
of the last seven.”
“Right!” Lowell said. “Why do they have to be those of
the last seven?”
Lacey responded, “Because there are only the last seven
plagues. There are no others.”
Lowell then said, “Look at the first six of the seven
last plagues, the first six vials. Those are the plagues that
the two prophets will smite the world with. Plus, when they
begin their ministry before the first of the last seven plagues
happen, John wrote that it will not rain during the time of
their prophecy.”
Jose said, “Man! We got a rough three and a half years
before Christ returns!”
Lacey added, “We’re going to have to stock up on
supplies to ride out the last three years.”
Austin reasoned, “But look at the bright side, if we die
during that time we only have a short time before we come
< 177 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
back with Christ.”
“I’m glad you mentioned that,” Lowell replied. “In
Daniel, chapter 11, it mentions those who are over in the
Israel area. It’s during the time that the vile person, the
eighth king, has the power, seat, and authority of Satan.
Verses 33 and 35 talk about those of understanding, which
I think means those who understand the prophetic events
of the time and that Christ is coming back very soon. They
put themselves in harm’s way. Daniel wrote: ‘And they that
understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they
shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by
spoil, many days. And some of them of understanding shall
fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even
to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.’”
Austin responded, “Yeah, they have the same attitude
too!”
Landon added, “Dying for the cause. It’s what some
heroes have to do.”
< 178 >
THE TWO WITNESSES AND SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
Sarah said, “It’s going to be tough over there in the
Israel area. I’m glad I won’t be over there!”
Lowell added, “You’re right. It is going to be tough over
there and... to help them out, God will send his two prophets
to stand up against the army of two hundred thousand
thousand and the most powerfully evil person ever to live.”
Landon spoke up and remarked, “It would be worth the
risk to be over there just to have a front row seat to watch this
epic battle between the most evil person to live, his massive
army, and the powerful two prophets!”
Lowell responded, “It truly is going to be a battle
between super powers and imagine how angry the vile person
is going to be when he learns the two prophets have smitten
the sea with the plague of the vial of the second angel. All
the sea became as the blood of a dead man and every living
soul died in the sea.”
Austin answered, “The vile person is going to be doing
all he can to stop them from causing any more plagues that
will harm the world he wants to control. You know he’s
going to be throwing everything he has at them!”
“But, he can’t stop them in time,” Lowell remarked.
“The two prophets smite the earth with the plague in the vial
of the third angel. The rivers and fountains of waters became
blood!”
Maria said, “That’s a death sentence for humans on the
earth. You turn rivers and fountains into blood and the seas
too and I don’t think humans would live very long without
life sustainable water in rivers, fountains, and seas.”
< 179 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
Lowell added, “Perhaps these events are what inspired
Jesus to say what we read in Matthew chapter 24 verses 21
and 22: ‘For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not
since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever
shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there
should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days
shall be shortened.’”
Jose responded, “Now that makes perfect sense! If
Christ doesn’t come back when he does, everyone on earth
will die because the world is dying. If everything in the sea
and rivers die, it’s just a matter of time before man would
too!”
Lowell agreed, “Yeah, and look at the fourth plague
that the two witnesses smite the earth with. John wrote in
Revelation chapter 16 verses 8 and 9 ‘And the fourth angel
poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto
him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with
great heat and blasphemed the name of God, which hath
< 180 >
THE TWO WITNESSES AND SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him
glory.”
Lacey responded, “Wow! The earth is just being totally
destroyed with people still on it!”
Lowell also agreed with Lacey, “Yep! I like the fifth
plague that the two prophets smite the earth with. Remember
with the fifth trumpet sounding, the eighth king launches an
attack with chemical or biological weapons and everyone
affected feels like they have been stung by a scorpion. They
all wish they could die, yet they don’t. They just agonize in
pain for like five months?”
Lowell looked at everyone as they acknowledged that
they remembered.
Then Lowell continued, “Well the two prophets smite
< 181 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
the earth with the fifth plague and look what John wrote in
Revelation chapter 16 verses 10 and 11. ‘And the fifth angel
poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom
was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains
and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.’”
Austin laughed, “Oh! Nice payback!”
Jose exclaimed, “Sweet!”
Maria added, “Oh, what I would give to be there to
watch that!”
Lowell continued, “The two prophets then smite the
earth with the sixth plague and with the sixth plague the river
Euphrates is dried up which that allows the kings of the east
to gather their armies at Armageddon to go from there to
fight against Christ.”
Austin said, “By this time, with all that damage and
pain the two prophets have caused with these plagues, can
you imagine how totally mad as hell the non-Christians are
< 182 >
THE TWO WITNESSES AND SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
at these two prophets? These kings must be willing to do
anything to stop those two prophets!”
Everyone agreed.
“Well, you’re right,” Lowell said. “And it’s about this
time that the eighth king finally does kill the two witnesses
who are in the streets of Jerusalem.” Lowell looked at the
group as his eyes began to moisten. He took a deep breath
and tried to hold back the tears. “These two super heroes and
disciples of Christ seal their testimony of Christ with their
blood and John says ‘they that dwell upon the earth shall
rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one
to another; because these two prophets tormented them that
dwelt on the earth.’”
< 183 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
Jose said, “Yeah, but they come back alive!”
“Yes Jose,” Lowell said. “Their bodies lie on the street
for three and a half days. No one is allowed to move them.
And then, the spirit of life returns into them and right before
everyone’s eyes who are watching them, they come back to
life and ascend to heaven in a cloud. Can you imagine how
their enemies now feel?”
Landon said, “If I was one of their enemies, I would be
totally freaked out! I would just lay down my weapons and
turn and walk away.”
“Some of the enemies do something even more amazing,
Landon. What they did is awesome and gives me hope for
people like you,” Lowell said. “Think about it. This event
probably happens in the 2040s to the 2050s. Think of having
a loved one who continues to reject all the signs of the times
day after day, year after year, one decade after another. Yet
all the prophetic events, all the calamities, all the words of
warnings from prophets can’t get them to turn to Christ.
And then, here they are, witnessing the two prophets who
had been killed three days earlier come back to life and they
hear a voice out of heaven say come up hither and the two
witnesses do! The two prophets ascend to heaven!”
Lowell took a couple of steps toward the group and in
a soft tender voice said, “And then there is an earthquake in
Jerusalem and seven thousand people die from it. However,
just imagine seeing your loved one who had denied or
willingly fought against Christ throughout all those years
leading up to that time do what John then sees many do.”
< 184 >
THE TWO WITNESSES AND SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
Lowell looked into the eyes of everyone there and said,
“John wrote these powerfully moving beautiful words. ‘And
the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of
Heaven.’”
Lowell paused and again looked at his friends, “Can
you imagine how happy you would be to finally see your
loved one give glory to God?”
Lowell looked at everyone and said, “We would be
saying ‘Yes! Praise God they finally get it! Praise God they
haven’t been killed and they have turned to God even in
these final moments before the return of Christ in power and
glory!’ How exciting would that be for those who have loved
ones who have held out on accepting Christ all the way up
to that very moment! What a great message of hope!” Then
Lowell looked into the eyes of Landon and said, “What a
great message of not giving up on anyone who has not given
their soul to Satan. And that, my friend, is why I will never,
ever give up hope for you!” Lowell reached out and gave
Landon a high five and then stepped back toward the TV as
everyone was speechless for a while. Austin finally broke
the silence with a quiet voice of, “Amen!” And then another,
“Amen!” came from Sarah and another from Lacey, and then
Jose and Maria said, “Amen.”
After a little moment of silence, Lacey said, “I wonder
who the two witnesses will be?” And then she noticed a grin
on Lowell’s face and with a look of surprise remarked, “You
know who the two witnesses will be!”
Lowell looked back at her while pointing to himself
< 185 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
with a surprised, innocent look as though saying, “Who me?”
Austin said with a raised voice, “You dirty dog! You’ve
been holding out on us!”
Lowell smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
Jose started the chant, “Spill the beans.” Everyone
joined in until Lowell finally signaled that he surrendered.
Lowell said, “We don’t have time to go into the details.
However, the information is in the videos online. Here’s
what I can quickly tell you. One of the two witnesses is
John the Revelator, he who wrote the book of Revelation!
He was blessed to live all these almost two thousand years
and now has the assignment of standing up against the
most powerfully evil person ever to live. John will have his
testimony sealed when the most powerful and evil person
in the world takes his life. We are not told who the second
witness is nor was it easy to find out that John was one of the
two witnesses. One of the traits of John was that he didn’t
like to mention his name.”
Austin said, “Man, I’ve got to crush through those
videos!”
Jose asked, “What’s the website?”
“Thepropheticplaybook.com,” Lacey said. “I’ve started
to watch the videos and they are really informative. You’ll
like them, especially after our meeting here tonight. This has
been awesome, Lowell!”
Everyone agreed as Lowell remarked, “And it gets
better!” He changed the slide. “With the sounding of the
seventh trumpet angel comes the events associated with the
< 186 >
THE TWO WITNESSES AND SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
return of Christ in power and glory. John heard great voices
in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdoms of this world are become
the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall
reign for ever and ever.’
“The last plague of the last seven plagues is also poured
out. John says, ‘There were voices, and thunders, and
lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was
not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake,
and so great.’
“Considering John had earlier encountered the
earthquake and events associated with the sixth seal event,
the worst catastrophic event since the flood of Noah’s time,
John has a unique perspective to tell us how bad this seventh
plague earthquake was going to be. John also added this
insight about the effects of the earthquake: ‘And every island
fled away, and the mountains were not found.’ It seems that
the earth was being renewed for the reign of Christ and some
assembly was required.
< 187 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
“Also associated with the seventh plague John wrote,
‘And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every
stone about the weight of a talent; and men blasphemed God
because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was
exceeding great.’ The hailstones were possibly as large as
fifty to a hundred pounds each! You can imagine the damage
those could do?
“The last eleven verses of Revelation, chapter 19, give
a beautiful description of the return of Christ in power and
glory. John wrote:
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a
white horse; and he that sat upon him was
called Faithful and True, and in righteous-
ness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and
on his head were many crowns; and he had
a name written, that no man knew, but he
himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture
dipped in blood: and his name is called The
Word of God.
14 And the armies, which were in Heaven,
followed him upon white horses, clothed in
fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp
sword, that with it he should smite the na-
tions: and he shall rule them with a rod of
iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his
thigh a name written, King of Kings, and
< 188 >
THE TWO WITNESSES AND SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
Lord of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun;
and he cried with a loud voice, saying to
all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven,
Come and gather yourselves together unto
the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and
the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty
men, and the flesh of horses, and of them
that sit on them, and the flesh of all men,
both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the
earth, and their armies, gathered together to
make war against him that sat on the horse,
and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him
the false prophet that wrought miracles be-
fore him, with which he deceived them that
had received the mark of the beast, and them
that worshipped his image. These both were
cast alive into a lake of fire burning with
brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the
sword of him that sat upon the horse, which
sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all
the fowls were filled with their flesh.”
“Satan will be bound for a thousand years.”
“When Christ returns, the graves of the righteous will be
opened and the spirits of the righteous will be re-united with
their bodies, like what we read about in Matthew chapter 27
when the saints who had died were resurrected when Christ
was.”
< 189 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
“Part of the righteous who are resurrected are ‘the souls
of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for
the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their
foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with
Christ a thousand years.’”
< 190 >
THE TWO WITNESSES AND SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
“In Daniel, chapter 7, we learn when Christ returns in
power and glory, not all the kings are destroyed. Daniel wrote
about what seems to reference the lion king, the bear king,
and the leopard king. In verse 12 we read: ‘As concerning
the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away:
yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.’ Some
wicked people will have their lives prolonged and they will
have the opportunity to show whether they will accept Christ
as their Lord and Savior.”
< 191 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
“Imagine the lives of our future generations who will
be born during that thousand years. How wonderful it will
be for them to grow up in communities where the gospel is
loved and lived and peace is abundant everywhere!”
Maria said, “That is so awesome! I’m so glad that Elijah
is going to have the chance to live in a strong Christian
community, witness all these amazing things, live to see
the return of Christ, and live with him in the millennium.
I hope he has many children who will be blessed also! But,
honestly, Lowell, I know what you are saying. Our society,
economy and government need to get with the program!”
Lacey said, “I agree.” Then she looked at Maria and
remarked, “I think if Christians heard what we have heard,
< 192 >
THE TWO WITNESSES AND SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
there would be a lot of them that would want to do something
to make things better too.”
“What do you mean?” Lowell asked.
“I think it begins with each individual,” Sarah replied.
“I mean I haven’t put the importance of Christ in my life
and I haven’t paid much attention to politics other than to
use the news as something to gripe about as I talk to my
husband or friends or on Facebook. I’ve been all gripe. I’ve
got to Christian up and look for candidates who I can really
support.”
“We don’t have any candidates that know what we do,”
Jose noted.
“You’re right, Jose,” Lacey agreed. “It really begins
with telling others, including politicians and candidates and
potential candidates, and finding out who will even take a
look at this information and who agrees with it.”
“Right!” Lowell said. “And help our communities,
states, and our nation prepare.” Lowell stepped forward and
asked, “Can we do it?”
“Yes!” Lacey said.
“Why?” Lowell asked.
“Because God wants us to,” Lacey responded.
“Why else?” Lowell asked.
Austin answered, “Because most people love Christ
and most people will love Christ more once they learn about
this information and start reading the Bible again and start
going to church again.”
“Amen!” Lowell said.
< 193 >
THE PROPHETIC PLAYBOOK STORY
Landon spoke up, “And most people really do want
freedom and a better society, economy, and government.”
“Right!” Lowell said. “And why can Christians make
such a big difference come voting time?”
Maria said, “Like you mentioned earlier, a lot of
Christians are in essense canceling out each other’s vote.
There’s room for improvement. We can have a voter
registration drive and we can have a high voter turnout and
vote very much the same way.”
“You got it!” Lowell said. “Anything else?” Lowell
then looked at everyone with a smile. “We begin!”
“Oh yes we do!” Maria said as she looked at everyone
with a startled look. Everyone noticed her water had broken.
She was going to have a baby!

About the author
Lowell Taylor is a Bible Scholar of the prophetic events
of our day.
As a youth, Lowell would reflect on the return of Christ
in power and glory. However, it was just after graduating
from High School that he fell in love with the scriptures and
not long after that he began studying the prophetic events of
our day.
As time went on, he read the scriptures on a regular
basis and maintained a keen interest in verses relating to
events of our day.
Then, one night in 1998, Lowell woke up at about one
A.M. and could get back to sleep. So he did what he normally
did, he got up and read the scriptures. It was that night that an
amazing thing happened. Unlike any other prior time in his
life he had a feast with the Spirit and the scriptures, in which
he was shown some connections and correlations between
verses and chapters. It was amazing!
By four A.M. Lowell was getting tired and started to
forget some of the connections and correlations made earlier.
He went into his office and quickly started to write about
the connections and correlations. Looking back, the insights
of that night were very few compared to all the ones he has
made over the years since. However, it was that night God
planted in Lowell’s heart an unquenchable drive to work
with God to understand the prophetic events of our day.
One interesting thing about the beginning of that
journey was that Lowell felt a strong impression, “Don’t
use the commentaries!” In wondering how he was to gain
an understanding Lowell received a powerful impression to
stick to the scriptures.
Very soon after that night, Lowell began printing out
insights he had gained to share with others. Although he
thought he had made real progress, the reality was he had
only taken baby steps. Yet, the responsibility to share with
others has been as strongly embedded into his heart as was
the unquenchable drive to work with God to understand the
prophetic events of our day.
With the insight Lowell gained early in the journey he
learned the importance of a land of liberty, and ever since
has made efforts to encourage people to support freedom.
Long story short, the journey has been line upon line, a
lot of fasting and prayer, and a beautiful bonding time with
God. As time has gone on, current events have happened
which have led to greater clarity. This is a work in progress.
Over the years as Lowell would make connections
and correlations he would then feel it was okay to check
commentaries. During one of those times Lowell found
that many commentaries had referenced some chapters in
the Bible as having begun being fulfilled anciently, when in
reality those chapters are about our day. That was a special
“Ah-ha!” moment for Lowell. He then knew why God didn’t
want him to start by going to the commentaries.
Over the years, Lowell has written many books, made
many websites, videos, DVD’s, and other things to try and
share the insights he has gained.
In 2015 he felt God wanted him to write a fictional story
that would bring out factual insights. Lowell had no idea
what the story would be like, how it would start, or when it
would end. He just sat down and began typing. By the next
day it was drafted out. A few months later it was an eBook,
yet only a few copies were sold.
Then, in August of 2015, current events happened which
made it clear to Lowell that the Bible referenced the United
States regarding this very moment in time. In November
of 2015 Lowell wrote all fifty governors and since then has
emailed and called more than once.
During the 2016 election Lowell felt impressed to sit
back and keep working in the back ground. Trump fit a
prophetic person much better than Obama and we all know
how the election turned out.
In March of 2017 Lowell again felt the hand of God
guiding him to rework the eBook to reflect the greater clarity
gained by the election and other current events. Yet this time,
Lowell was to print the book.
In April of 2017 another miracle happened when
God guided Lowell to two valiant Christians who have
the potential to help this information finally get out to the
billions of people like you who, whether they know it or not,
really desperately need it.
And the journey continues!
