2 Witnesses of Rev. 11=144,000 Christians in pairs; no pre-Tribulation Rapture

(holyisthelord;67334)
Rev. 1:26: "the seven lampstands are the seven churches"Rev. 2-3: only two churches are not rebuked: Smyrna & Philadelphia ("brotherly love")Rev. 11:4: the "two witnesses" are "the two lampstands"Matt. 10: "He sent them out two by two" [to witness the Gospel]These two witnesses will be witnessing about Jesus in all "the great cities" (Rev. 11:8)- i.e. the Babylons "the great city" (Rev. 17:18)- of the Earth, including Rome, New York City, Hollywood Babylon, Paris Babylon, San Francisco ("Babylon by the Bay"), etc. They will have miraculous powers like Moses & Aaron to testify to their truth! They will be resurrected to show the whole world that Jesus really rose from the dead! Many cities including Paris currently or in the past have fit the description of Mystery Babylon, including Paris which was the capital of Napoleon Empire & was thereby a foreshadowing of "the great city which rules over the kings of the Earth." (Rev. 17:18) This site discusses the many Babylons throughout world history: http://primaryproofsofchristianity.com/bible.htmlThe Bible indicates there are many Babylons by applying the language of Rev. 17-18 to many cities in the Bible, including Jerusalem (Deut. 4:6, Lam 1:1), Nineveh "the great city" (Jonah 1, Zeph. 2:15), Babylon, Tyrus/Tyre (Ezekiel 26-27), etc.Only these people (who are equal to the 144,000) will be sealed so that they won't be harmed by the locusts (Rev. 7,9) and won't suffer in the wilderness of famine and thirst (Rev. 12) like the Jews & Jesus did (Exodus 16-17, Matt. 4). "Pray at all times that you may be worthy to escape these things" (Luke 21) that "are about to come upon the whole habitable Earth" (Rev. 3:10), which you can only do if you "keep My Word of endurance" (Rev. 3:10) by meditating on God's holy Bible "day and night" (Psalm 1).
The witnesses are not two people. They represent the Church. There are two because evangelists are sent in two and that is what the Church does, evangelize. They can shut up the sky etc, because they speak for God using the Word of God just like the Prophets of old who could literally shut up the sky. They were slain and were risen indicating that the true Church was nearly destroyed and were practically no where to be found on the earth during the great apostasy. There rising is the world revival of true Christianity at the time of the reformation. Babylon is the Roman Church. The locusts are the Muslim armies that conquered the eastern Roman Empie.
