Enough. You keep repeating the same assertions, insults, and capitalized words as though repetition somehow constitutes exegesis. It does not.
I do not care whether you believe in a future earthly 1,000-year kingdom or not because you got the millennial kingdom of Revelation 20 all wrong to begin with anyway. This has nothing to do with the argument presently before us.
Your fundamental error remains untouched.
You repeatedly quote Zechariah 4:14:
“These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
And then you simply ASSERT:
“Therefore these must be two individual supernatural men living during a future period.”
Where does Zechariah 4:14 say that? NOWHERE!! It is coming from your carnal mind.
“Two anointed ones” is the inspired identification given in Zechariah's vision. Your conclusion that this requires two future individual men is your interpretation—not something Zechariah 4:14 actually states.
And your insistence that Revelation 1:20 has “absolutely no association” with Revelation 11:4 is particularly revealing.
God says:
“The seven "candlesticks" which thou sawest "ARE" the seven "churches.” — Revelation 1:20
Then the SAME inspired book says:
“These are the two olive trees, and the two "candlesticks" standing before the God of the earth.” — Revelation 11:4
Yet you demand that everyone pretend God's previously established use of the candlestick symbol for churches becomes completely irrelevant seven chapters later. Bad move on your part!
That isn't comparing Scripture with Scripture. That's isolating the verse from an inconvenient biblical precedent because it conflicts with your interpretation.
And repeatedly shouting “literal bodies,” “literal Jerusalem,” “literal world,” “physical feet,” “literal human eyes” doesn't prove those things are literal. You are merely inserting the word LITERAL before every element of an apocalyptic vision and then presenting your assumption as proof of itself.
Revelation personifies and depicts corporate realities as individual actors throughout the book. Therefore, describing the witnesses as acting, dying, standing, and ascending does not by itself settle whether John intends two individual persons or a corporate reality represented through two witnesses.
That is the actual exegetical question—and you have never demonstrated your conclusion. You have simply repeated it.
So keep the “Baloney,” “Malarkey,” “Laughable,” “magic wand,” “bag of tricks,” and “Exposed” routine. None of those words constitute biblical evidence.
We've gone around this circle enough. Anyone reading this discussion can compare Zechariah 4, Revelation 1:20, and Revelation 11 and decide which interpretation actually allows Scripture to interpret Scripture.
I'm interested in biblical exegesis, not endless repetition and ridicule. Therefore, I'm also putting you on ignore and moving on.
Let the Scriptures stand.
Selah. And Goodbye!
(The Future Two Witnesses, And Biblical Truth)
Zechariah 4:11-14 below clearly "Interprets" the olive trees and candlestick as being
(The Two Anointed Ones) who are
(The Two Witnesses) seen in Revelation Chapter 11, they are described as having literal physical bodies that die, and their dead bodies are literally raised from the dead before a literal world watching (Future, Literal)
Conclusion: (The Two Witnesses) do not represent the "Church" as posters "Falsely" suggest, the events seen in Revelation Chapter 11 are (Future Unfulfilled)
Future Fulfillment: The (Two Witnesses) will prophesy for 1260 literal days bringing all plagues upon this wicked world at their will, they will be killed and lay dead in a literal Jerusalem street for 3.5 literal days as a wicked world watches in celebration of their deaths exchanging gifts, they will be raised from the dead standing on their feet and they will ascend into heaven as the literal world watches, the same hour there will be a great earth quake in Jerusalem, the 2nd woe is complete and the 3rd woe comes quickly in the 7th Angel-Trump sounding (The End) Final Judgement Seen in Rev 11:18 (The End)
Revelation 11:3-4KJV
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
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 11:3-18KJV
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 t
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.
13 And
the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And
the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become
the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And
the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
