You consider Christ's command to love our enemies to be laughable. How foolish.
You ignore the fact that the (Two Witnesses) are God's tools used to bring his judgement on the unsaved world, you try desperately to bind their testimony that will take place with the distraction (Love Your Enemy) "Laughable"!

God gives power to his (Two Witnesses) with this power given by God they will bring God's judgement and torment through literal plagues upon this literal unsaved world, they will have literal bodies that die and lay in a literal street in Jerusalem as a literal world watches celebrating their deaths

"God", I Will Give Power Unto My (Two Witnesses)

Revelation 11:3KJV
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

You again find it laughable that these two imaginary individuals would defy Christ's command to love their enemies by killing them. Can you explain why you try to interpret the most highly symbolic book in the Bible as literally as you possibly can? Do you think that's a wise approach? Clearly, there will not be literal fire coming out of their mouths (LOL!), so why do you take it literally when it talks about them destroying their enemies with the fire that comes out of their mouths? It's talking about the power of the gospel and how it pronounces judgment on those who reject it. It's symbolism. How in the world are you able to recognize the symbolism in Revelation 20, but not in Revelation 11? Talk about laughable!

All believers have the power and authority to witness to the unsaved world. The gospel of Christ "is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth" (Romans 1:16). Why would these supposed imaginary two individual witnesses preach any differently than anyone else? We don't preach the gospel by threatening to kill people if they don't believe it. You just have no idea how absurd it is to interpret Revelation 11 literally the way you do. It's laughable.

As you have been shown "Several Times" the two witnesses will have "literal bodies" that die, and lay in a "literal street" in Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified, as a "literal world watches" their dead bodies in celebration of their deaths

That's a whole bunch of "Literal" that takes place upon this earth, literal dead bodies, a literal street in Jerusalem, and a literal world watching in celebration

Revelation 11:3-12KJV
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 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.
6 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.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And 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.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

Yep.

And a literal mini-rapture. Everything here is clearly a literal series of events. If these events can be denied as literal, then someone could do the same for the arrest, torture and killing on the cross, and subsequent resurrection of Christ or any other number of clearly literal events. Symbolism has it's place but it cannot be applied willy-nilly to anything.

No sense in going over this several more times. You go ahead and interpret the most highly symbolic book in the entire Bible as literally as possible if you insist. It's a foolish approach to interpreting the book, resulting in a lot of nonsense. It's a wonder that you recognize that Revelation 20 is symbolic. How did that happen when you interpret the rest of the book so literally?

LOL! This is utter nonsense. You act like the most highly symbolic book in the Bible is all literal. You guys have no idea how ridiculous you come across. Hilarious. Unbelievable.

Your problem is you see the words below without a symbolic interpretation explained, you think your going to claim Revelation chapter 11 is symbolic and walk away and sweep it under the carpet without a clear explanation?

Please interpret the 4 items below, don't run off in distraction, a direct response to each item is requested, and what it means symbolically?

1.) Their dead bodies?

2.) Dead bodies laying in a street where Jesus was crucified?

3.) The world watched their deaths in celebration exchanging gifts?

4.) They stood upon their feet?

Revelation 11:3-12KJV
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

I have explained why the two witnesses are called two olive trees in detail and why they are called two candlesticks/lampstands. Have you? Not that I've seen. Do you plan on ever explaining that? I've asked you to do so before multiple times and all you've done is reference Zechariah 4 with no explanation for why the two witnesses are called two candlesticks. But, here you are asking me to explain every detail of Revelation 11 when you have not been willing to do so yourself.

Please interpret the 4 items below, don't run off in distraction, a direct response to each item is requested, and what it means symbolically?

1.) Their dead bodies?

2.) Dead bodies laying in a street where Jesus was crucified?

I will do this if you do what I've asked you to do multiple times in the past by telling me what it means for the two witnesses to be called two olive trees and two candlesticks (Revelation 11:4). You have said before that you relate the olive trees to this passage...

Zechariah 4:11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? 13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

I have pointed out to you how this passage only refers to one candlestick, not two, and you didn't respond. So, tell me how two individual witnesses would be called two candlesticks, keeping in mind that in Revelation 1:20 candlesticks represent churches?

And why wouldn't you want to relate the reference to the two witnesses as two olive trees to the two olive trees that Paul references in Romans 11 (natural and wild) with branches from the wild olive tree being grafted in together with branches of the natural olive tree?

If you answer these questions that I asked you first on multiple occasions, then I promise that I will answer the questions you have asked here. I don't accept you not answering my questions that I asked first multiple times in the past with you expecting me to answer yours.

"These are the two anointed ones", literal prophets that return that have physical bodies that die and lay in a literal street in Jerusalem as a world celebrates their deaths as Revelation Chapter 11 teaches, the anointed ones in Zechariah 14:14 are the two witnesses of Rev Chapter 11

"You have been clearly answered again"

Zechariah 412-14KJV
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

Do you not read what I say or what? Where is your explanation for the two witnesses being called two candlesticks? How covenient of you to leave our Zechariah 4:11 which only references one candlestick, not two. And where is your answer to my question of why you wouldn't take Romans 11 into consideration when determining what the two olive trees represent?

Answer my questions first. That's how this works. You're just a child posting on an adult forum who doesn't know how adults communicate. Once again, what does it mean for the two witnesses to be called two candlesticks? And why would you not take Romans 11 into account when determining what the two olive trees represent? You are the one who runs off in distraction every time I ask you these questions.

The scripture is self explanatory, candle sticks and olive trees are talked about, Zechariah stated he didn't know what they were, Zechariah 4:14 gives the interpretation that "These Are The Two Anointed Ones"

I have clearly answered your questions, to claim otherwise would be a "Lie", you might not like the answers, but you have been answered, simple and clear

Zechariah 4:11-14KJV
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And 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.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
LOL. Are you afraid to answer my questions that I asked you first? When are you going to grow up and start learning how to have discussions like an adult? Let me know if you ever do that.

The scripture is self explanatory, candle sticks and olive trees are talked about, Zechariah stated he didn't know what they were, Zechariah 4:14 gives the interpretation that "These Are The Two Anointed Ones"
Hello? Only one candlestick is mentioned in Zechariah 4:11-14. This is a copout response. What do the TWO candlesticks represent in relation to the two witnesses?

I have clearly answered your questions,
You have not.

to claim otherwise would be a "Lie",
Then you don't know what a lie is. You claiming that a scripture referencing one candlestick is self explanatory for explaining how the two witnesses would be called two candlesticks is the lie being told here.

you might not like the answers, but you have been answered, simple and clear
In relation to the two candlesticks, you have not answered the question. Showing a verse that references one candlestick does not answer the question. I also have asked you why you wouldn't want to take Romans 11 into account when determining what the two olive trees represent and you haven't answered that question. And you haven't answered the question I've asked you about how the reference to two candlesticks can represent two individuals when candlesticks represent churches in other parts of the book.

Zechariah 4:11-14KJV
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
I can accept this as a response to the question about the reference to two olive trees even though I disagree and believe it relates to Romans 11 instead, but what about the two candlesticks? That passage from Zechariah 4 only references one candlestick.

Your question was asked and answered, your running away in distraction because you can't symbolize the 4 question regarding Revelation Chapter 11 and you know it

I have clearly answered your question with my interpretation, at this point your running away in distraction because you can't symbolize the 4 items in question below that are found in Revelation Chapter 11 and you know it, run, distract, hide

"Once Again" Please interpret the 4 items below, don't run off in distraction again, a direct response to each item is requested, and what it means symbolically?

1.) Their dead bodies?

2.) Dead bodies laying in a street where Jesus was crucified?

3.) The world watched their deaths in celebration exchanging gifts?

4.) They stood upon their feet?

Revelation 11:3-12KJV
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 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.
6 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.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And 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.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

Your question was asked and answered,
Not about the two candlesticks. Referencing a verse that mentions one candlestick does not answer that question. Why are you being so dishonest about this? Do you actually think you're going to fool me with your dishonesty? What do you think the two candlesticks represent in relation to the two witnesses? All you need to do is answer this question that I've asked you several times and then I will answer your questions. I will NOT answer your questions until then, so stop being a child by asking them over and over again.

your running away in distraction because you can't symbolize the 4 question regarding Revelation Chapter 11 and you know it
Wrong. Unlike you, I'm an adult who understands that the person who asks questions first should have their questions answered first.
