I N S C R I B E: The three witnesses Part 2/5

Agreement is a theme that carries through the Bible. Here are a few examples of where agreement is mentioned in the Bible:

2 Corinthians 13:1 says, “This is the third time I am coming to visit you (and as the Scriptures say, “The facts of every case must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses)”.

Matthew 18:19 says, ”I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you”.

Matthew 18:20 says, For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them”.

Deuteronomy 19:15 says, “You must not convict anyone of a crime on the testimony of only one witness. The facts of the case must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

Deuteronomy 17:6 says, “But never put a person to death on the testimony of only one witness. There must always be two or three witnesses”.

What I find amazing is that those verses relate to us, humans, people, creations. If two of us agree on a certain thing there is power released through that. A testimony from the mouth of two witnesses is rendered to be an accurate depiction of the events.

I find it amazing that God, the creator of the universe subjected Himself to the earthly standard He set that in order to establish something, there ought to be two or three witnesses. He is God. He should be able to just say something once and we believe it but that is seldom the case is it? We want proof. The devil’s question is still echoing in our day today. “Did God really say..?” Well God did really say that Jesus is His Son and the first witness according to our verse in 1 John 5:7-8 is the Spirit.
