Numbers 35:30, One Witness is Not Enough to put to Death!
***What Does Numbers 35:30 TRULY mean?
Here is Numbers 35:30 from the KJV. “Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.”
Jesus said in John 8:44 that Satan is a murderer from the beginning.
And right now, Jesus is the only faithful and TRUTHFUL WITNESS for Yahweh against Satan and the fallen angels, according to Revelation 1:5.
But God will be faithful to perform His word so that we who believe will also be found to be God’s good and faithful servants that are TRUTHFUL witnesses as well.
Please read the full in-depth study called D-32. WHY Does God Need WITNESSES?
But for now, here is a brief introductory Verse Study on Numbers 35:30, which will show why just one witness will not give God just cause to destroy Satan and the fallen angels in the lake of fire.

Revelation 1:5 Says Jesus is the FAITHFUL WITNESS!
In Isaiah We Read that We Are God’s WITNESSES!
Have you ever wondered WHY Almighty God NEEDS WITNESSES?
In Isaiah 43:10-12, Yahweh prophesied saying you are My WITNESSES! And in Isaiah 43:9, God says, let THEM bring forth THEIR witnesses.
To me, Jesus and the FAITHFUL believers in Jesus are God’s WITNESSES that Almighty God will use to JUDGE the world, and the FALLEN angels, according to Acts 17:29-31, Hebrews 12:1,2, and 1 Corinthians 6:3.
Let us begin chapter 5 or book 9 by reading Revelation 3:14 where Jesus is called the true and faithful WITNESS.
Revelation 3:14.
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS, the beginning of the creation (Speaking of God’s NEW creation of righteous people made in God’s image.
It was AFTER the cross and resurrection when Jesus was made in the image of the invisible God to become the firstborn of every creature and be the BEGINNING of the NEW CREATION) of God;”
Here we see that Jesus is not only God’s FAITHFUL witness, but Jesus is also God’s TRUE witness.
And that means that there are FALSE witnesses telling LIES about God.
Now, while the mainstream church has been taught that Genesis chapter 1 is the ORIGINAL creation of the entire Universe in the eternity past, I believe that God INTENDS us to understand Genesis chapter 1 as God RESTORING the earth to be habitable once again.
For you see, WHY would God need faithful and true WITNESSES to judge the ANGELS if Genesis chapter 1 is the ORIGINAL creation of the entire Universe in the eternity past?
Can you not see, that IF Genesis chapter 1 is the original creation, then that would mean that God PURPOSELY created EVIL so that He could JUDGE and DESTROY evil.
Now, Jesus has gone before us as God’s first FAITHFUL WITNESS, according to Revelation 1:5 and Revelation 3:14.
Let us go ahead and read that verse of Scripture so that you can see WHEN Jesus BECAME God’s first FAITHFUL witness.
Revelation 1:5.
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL WITNESS, and the first begotten of the DEAD, (The FIRSTBORN from the dead to become the FIRSTBORN among many BROTHERS) and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,”
Why is Jesus called the TRUE and FAITHFUL WITNESS?
Why does Almighty God need a WITNESS?
WHO is being JUDGED?
The short answer is that Satan and the fallen angels are being JUDGED.
In other words, Satan has been charged by Almighty God as being a LYING god from the beginning, according to John 8:44, and John 16:11, plus 1 Corinthians 6:3.
So then, ask yourself the question, “What is the PURPOSE of the witnesses at a trial?”
The answer is, it is for the JUDGE to use the witnesses to decide if the one on TRIAL is found GUILTY as charged.
And, according to Acts 17:19-31, Almighty God will judge the world by the MAN whom He ORDAINED and RAISED from the dead.
But under God’s law having only ONE witness is not enough to JUSTLY sentence the one on trial to be put to death.
Please read Deuteronomy 17:6.
“At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is WORTHY of death, be put to death; but at the mouth of ONE witness he shall NOT be put to death.”
So then, WHO is on TRIAL to be judged? And WHO are the WITNESSES that God will use to JUDGE the one on trial?
In the passage of Scripture that Jesus teaches us about the Holy Spirit reproving the world of sin, Jesus tells us that the JUDGMENT of Satan has already begun.
John 16:7-13.
“Nevertheless, I tell you the TRUTH; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
John 16:8. And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
John 16:9. Of sin, because they believe NOT on me; (In other words, every person above the age of accountability will remain DEAD in the sins if they REJECT God’s Savior, Jesus)
John 16:10. Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more; (In other words, we as believers in Jesus, are in the world, but we are NOT of the world.
However, we will still be judged by our WORKS, according to Revelation 2:23, Revelation 3:1-6, and Revelation 22:12-15)
John 16:11. Of JUDGMENT, because the prince of this world is JUDGED.
John 16:12. I have yet many more things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now.
John 16:13. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all TRUTH: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come.”
And in Job 26:13:14, we see that even though we know ABOUT that CROOKED serpent, Satan, we only know a portion of his ways that are told to us in the Scriptures.
But I believe that what God has indeed told us about His enemy, Satan, is more than enough so that we can understand that Satan is the cause of all evil.
And we can also understand that God is in the process of gathering evidence and WITNESSES to convict His enemy, Satan, and the fallen angels guilty as charged.
And thus, Almighty God can JUSTLY destroy Satan and his angels in the lake of fire.
Please read the study called D-39. The DAY God SHOOK the Earth!
But for now, let us continue with this study to answer the question, “Why does God need witnesses?”.
So then, the one on TRIAL that is being JUDGED is Satan, called the prince of this world in the Scripture we just read.
Or more precisely, Satan and his angels, the principalities and powers, are on trial to be judged by Almighty God on the final Day of Judgment at the end of the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
For you see, God PREPARE an everlasting FIRE to destroy Satan and the fallen angels, but for some reason, God has WAITED to cast them into the lake of fire to be destroyed and turned into ashes.
I discuss some of those questions to help us understand WHY God has waited to destroy Satan, the Devil and the fallen angels in the studies under the heading ** Q-0. WHY are we HERE? - Is God at WAR? **
But the main point that I want you to see right now, is that God prepared the lake of fire specifically FOR Satan and the fallen angels.
And thus, fallen man is a “casualty of the WAR”, so to speak. The WAR that Lucifer has waged against God’s throne long BEFORE God created Adam and Eve.
God does NOT take pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather, JUDGMENT is necessary to put an END to evil.
You see, when God had to destroy all of mankind during the flood in Noah’s day, it REPENTED and grieved God that He even made mankind.
That teaches me that God never intended the first Adam to fall.
And it should also teach us that God did NOT create man to be evil and have to be destroyed.
And NEITHER did God create Lucifer with a rebellious NATURE to wage a WAR against God’s throne of authority over the angels.
Know you not that YOU shall JUDGE the angels?
1 Corinthians 6:3.
“Know you not that WE shall JUDGE angels? How much more, the things that pertain to this life?”
So then, to me, the ANCIENT people spoken of in the Bible are the angelic beings and the race of beings that the WATCHERS were appointed to rule over.
For you see, God made or SET some of the angels to become “princes” over the OTHER inhabitants dwelling on the earth during the PREVIOUS AGE of the earth BEFORE God created MAN or the HUMAN race of beings upon the earth.
And the angels who were made rulers over the earth and other planets are the counsel of the Elohim, according to Psalm 82:1,2.
In other words, some of the angelic beings are the Elohim, the gods under and subject to Yahweh, also called the “high ones” and the “kings” of the earth, that Almighty God SET on thrones.
Isaiah 10:33.
“Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, (Or CUT DOWN) and the haughty shall be humbled.”
Now, if we correctly “TRANSLATE” the Hebrew word “bara” as CUT DOWN, as opposed to, God created the great whales in Genesis 1:21. then you can see that God actually CUT DOWN that INSOLENT DRAGON in Genesis 1:21.
For you see, the Hebrew word translated as “whales” also means DRAGON.
Please read the study called Genesis 1:1 A FRESH NEW Look at Genesis 1:1!
So yes, the Bible ITSELF teaches us that God MADE, formed, and CREATED His human Son, the Son of MAN, Jesus, to BECOME both Lord and Messiah AFTER the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:36 and many other verses of Scripture.
So then, the question is WHY? Why did Almighty God over the entire Universe need to CREATE Himself an INFERIOR species of beings made a little LOWER than His previous creation of the angels, and then CROWN the Son of MAN, Jesus, to RECEIVE glory honor and POWER to rule as God over the earth for 1000 years during the world to come?
WHY did God GIVE an inferior species of beings that He highly exalted after the cross and resurrection to have the RULERSHIP or DOMINION over the earth, the WORK of Yahweh’s hands?
WHY did God ALLOW His ENEMY Satan and the fallen angels to remain ALIVE?
WHY will Satan be bound in the bottomless pit for 1000 years while the highly exalted Son of MAN, Jesus RULES over the earth for 1000 years?
WHY will God allow Satan to ascend out of the bottomless pit to DECEIVE the nations one final time to make WAR?
It is because God is gathering EVIDENCE and His WITNESSES to JUDGE or to convict His enemy Satan and the fallen angels guilty as charged so that He can END all WAR, violence and EVIL for all eternity in the future.
Now, I say all of this so that you will NOT be DECEIVED by the great deception that is coming upon all the earth, according to 2 Thessalonians 2:3,4.
2 Thessalonians 2:3,4.
“Let no man DECEIVE you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2 Thessalonians 2:4. Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
There are no doubt many different theories or speculations as to what the great deception will be.
But what I never truly considered before is that Paul wrote this warning nearly 2,000 years ago.
In other words, for the most part, Christians have interpreted these verses to be speaking of the very last of the last days as when these verses shall be fulfilled in the future.
However, what if the God intended meaning is that the great deception BEGAN in the second century with the development of the doctrine that is now called the doctrine of the Trinity?
For you see Revelation teaches us that Satan has deceived the WHOLE world.
And the vast majority of the Christian world as well as the secular world, believes the man-made Roman Catholic doctrine of the Trinity Godhead.
Also, Jesus said in Luke 18:8 , “Shall I find FAITH on the earth when I come?”
Now, the Greek word translated as the word faith is not the usual Greek word that is normally used.
And this Greek word actually means CORRECT DOCTRINE.
In other words, when Jesus returns, he is saying, “Shall I find CORRECT sound Biblical DOCTRINE on the earth?”
Let us go ahead and read that verse.
Luke 18:8.
“I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
And here is how the concordance in E-Sword defines the Greek word translated as faith.
G4102
πίστις
pistis
pis'-tis
From G3982; persuasion, that is, credence; moral conviction (of religious truth, or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher), especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstractly constancy in such profession; by extension the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself: - assurance, belief, believe, faith, fidelity.
Total KJV occurrences: 244.
So, I simply ask the question, “Is the teaching of the doctrine of INCARNATION, which teaches that Almighty God Himself became the Son of MAN, Jesus, teaching the TRUTHFULNESS of God?”
For you see, Numbers 23:19 CLEARLY teaches us that God is not a MAN that He should lie, and neither is He the Son of MAN that He should repent.
But yet, Trinitarian Christians TWIST that Scripture so that they can hold fast to Orthodox Christian TRADITION that took over four centuries to be developed.
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
