Why do you ignore the facts as described below in Zechariah 4:11-14 regarding the "Olive Trees" being interpreted as (The Two Anointed Ones) before your eyes and not one mention of this fact "Why"?
I look at ALL of the facts, unlike yourself. I'm not willing to ignore the fact that it only refers to ONE candlestick there, not two. And I'm not willing to ignore the fact that candlesticks represent churches in the book of Revelation (Rev 1:20), not individuals. And im not willing to ignore Romans 11 when it comes to identifying what the two olive trees represent.

Why do you ignore the facts in Revelation 11:3-4 that (The Two Witnesses) are described as being "Two Olive Trees" (These Are The Two Olive Trees) before your eyes and not one mention of this fact "Why"?

Why do you ignore the facts as described below regarding items 1 & 2?

(Items 1 & 2 Below, Same "Exact" Description In Parallel Teachings "Fact"!)

1.) Zechariah 4:14 and the words: (that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.)

2.) Revelation 11:4 and the words: (standing before the God of the earth.)

The interpretation for Revelation 11:3-4 is clearly given in Zechariah 4:11-14, these are parallel teachings, scripture interprets itself

Olive Trees, Olive Branches = The Two Anointed Ones, Who Are Described In Revelation Chapter 11 As Having Literal Bodies That Die, And These Dead Bodies Are Raised From The Dead Before A Literal World Watching

(These Are The Two Annointed Ones) = (The Two Witnesses) = (Two Prophets) Literal, Physical, And Upon This Earth, Rev 11:10


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.

Revelation 11:3-4 & 10KJV
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.

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.
You couldn't even bring yourself to explain how the two witnesses are described as TWO candlesticks, not ONE. You won't even address that fatal flaw in your belief about the two witnesses.

No, that is not a requirement to be of the "two witnesses". You have added that as your own personal requirement since the bible says nothing about that anywhere in Rev 11.

The truth is the two prophets of Rev 11 have not come yet and could not have been anyone in the past. Jesus and John are automatically disqualified to have been them for many reasons everyone here has already told you about.
Then I suggest that you name your two candidates for the position of "My two anointed ones", aka "My two witnesses". Please don't come up short, because it already has been 2,500+/- years.

Where have you been?? Of course I also have openly agreed, biblicaly supported and stated, that the TWO candlesticks in Rev. 11:4 are indeed TWO churches.
Rev. 11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks [churches] standing before the God of the earth.
As for Zech. 4:2, 11, the singular candlestick is symbolic of the OC church in the wilderness under Moses.

I never said otherwise. I wasn't talking to you in that post (#401), I was talking to Truth7t7. Look at it again and you'll see that.

The bible does not name them so no one else should.

Once Again no mention of the "Olive Trees" or "Items 1 & 2" seen below, because it opposes your claim of "The Church" being the (Two Witnesses) this being 100% "Wrong"

Why do you ignore the facts as described below in Zechariah 4:11-14 regarding the "Olive Trees" being interpreted as (The Two Anointed Ones) before your eyes and not one mention of this fact "Why"?
