Have you ever thought to this prophecy ?
Isaiah 29:
4.
Brought low, you will speak from the ground;
your speech will mumble out of the dust.
Your voice will come ghostlike from the earth;
out of the dust your speech will whisper.
It is about the same action at the same time as in
Revelation 11
3. And I will give power to my two witnesses, and
they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth."
Here it is the proof (one of them) that it happened/fulfilled at the due time

Dear Russ,
I truly believe it means that it means a new birth, a new heart, which can only happen by a true repentance. Brought low to the ground, with our crowns to the ground, bowed low to the Father, and dressed in sackcloth, truly mourning our past sins of idol worship of mens thoughts, and becooming truly reborn in the spirit, with the new heart and mind full given to the Father alone for him to do His work in us.
Revelation 19:1-21
It appears that this is very well happening worldwide. His sheep(Bride) hear his voice, and have the work of bearing witness to Jesus, fully having repented with no more bearing witness to men's manmade self appointed works .
Revelation 19:1-21
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: (for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.)
3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye (that fear him), both small and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of (a great multitude), and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia:( for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.)
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, (and give honour to him): for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (even an angel would not dare receive any praise for himself)
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called ("Faithful and True"), and in righteousness 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 nations: 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 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 before 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.
look at this verse agian....
"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."
Jesus, "Faithful and True", has many crowns to give to those who are His True Faithful Followers, and He gives a new name to those whom are in Christ, with His Spirit within them already. So those in Him will know that new name, because they are sealed with His name now, written with in their hearts..(a New Heart), and also their whole minds...with most of their thoughts on spiritual things)(which means they are marked in their foreheads..his His Holy name sealed) , with all thier soul and entire strength...(their all, entire being and entire purpose) and they will personally know him, because they are His Bride and (one) with him already. They have their heads low and bowed only to Him, and are dressed in sackcloth, feeling so sorry for ever hurting their Father, and are so greatful to Him for revealing this to them.
John 17:20-23 "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21. that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23. I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Jesus prayed that we may all be united together with each other as well as united to Christ and “Father†and in order to achieve this we must fulfill the complete worship stated in Revelation 4:4
Rev 4:4
Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads
10. the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: 11"You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being."
They lay their crowns before the throne..in complete submission
Not only were they laying their physical crowns down, this is symbolic of their very lives, by laying their crowns at the feet of the throne they where also laying down everything about themselves and submitting it to God, and worshipping Him in the manner in which He deserves. This is also how we should be before God each and every minute of the day. Completely submitted to Him and being worshipful and thankful for all we do and endure for His great honor.
Once we decide to fulfill this in our lives then we fulfill John 4:23
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. We will become the worshippers that God seeks.
With much love to all,
In Christ,
New Heart
