Well what the heck is this blog post going to be about!??? Let me tell you ;o}
Not so long ago I asked the Lord something like this: "Why has it been nearly 2,000 years since you left this earth?" His immediate and short response, as He so often does with me, was just one word: "Double."
Of course that sent me searching in the bible as to what scriptures talked about "double", and what other -keywords- were related to that, and how could they possibly relate to this 2,000 years a-waiting. What I discovered shocked me. Quite frankly, I thought I'd already written this here at that time but I don't see it LOL So, here we go ...
Scriptures that relate to the word: "Double". It just may surprise you to see how the book of Revelation ties in as well! I will post the relevant scriptures but YOU be the Berean and search the matter out for yourselves, as for me, I understand what He was saying. I'll link to some other blog posts below for my revelations on the matter. I report, you decide.
BlueLetterBible (BLB) keyword searches, some of the scriptures will overlap from one search to another, all the more reason to pay attention. NOTE: an asterisk in BLB is a wildcard in which it will search for the word with any ending, such as: gold, golden, cup, cups, etc.

"I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, [he is] a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and [is] as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: ... Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to [him], and makest [him] drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness! Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD'S right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing [shall be] on thy glory." {Habakkuk 2:1-5, 15-16 KJV, read all three chapters, at the end it shall be.}

~.~ The two witnesses, what has been will be again
John the Baptist, and Jesus, were the two witnesses at the beginning of the bookends of the "times of the Gentiles" and the coming two witnesses of the book of Revelation (chapter 11) will come with the same message and the same will happen to them as happened to John, death (likely by beheading) by their own nation. Look up "Noahide Laws" and the consequences of breaking the first two *commandments*, thus the "tribulation saints" will be likewise suffer at their (those Jesus called the "Synagogue of Satan", still true) hands because nothing's new in the world, what has been will be again.
Bookends: "the times of the Gentiles", the scroll sealed with the seven seals of the book of Revelation ---> "The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun. Is there [any] thing whereof it may be said, See, this [is] new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. [There is] no remembrance of former [things]; neither shall there be [any] remembrance of [things] that are to come with [those] that shall come after." {Ecclesiastes 1:9-11 KJV, more in my links below.}
Does this mean we should hate her (Israel)? NO. Love her, Jesus does. But understand who she is in God's word. Pray for her. You cannot truly love someone if you don't take their good, and their bad, into consideration. Throughout all of the pain & suffering, restitution is coming.
Understand, Jesus wasn't just the suffering servant, the Lamb of God; but He is also the conquering King, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. As you take both aspects of Israel and love her still, do likewise for the Lord of Hosts.
Two days in heaven, are two thousand years on earth, "Double." {2 Peter 3:8}
Golden Cup containing wine, or ... "grapes of wrath" ... Jacob's trouble is coming ;o/
