IMO: The two witnesses (Revelation 11:3) are perhaps Enoch and Elijah, both of whom never died. Each was taken to heaven (Enoch in Genesis 5:23-24, Elijah in 2Kings 2:11). They will return at a future time. Enoch was 365 years old when he was taken up (Genesis 5:24).

The "coming ruler" (Daniel 9:26) has numerous epithets: Antichrist, Prince of Darkness, Man of Lawlessness, False Christ, Beast, etc. He will oversee construction of the Jewish Temple, and then take his seat in it as though he were God.(2Thessalonians 2:4).

Spiritual Israelite noted: <incapable of refuting it ("no millennium")> "Millenium" = Greek χιλια ετη = 1000 years (2 Peter 3:8) "...shall reign with him (Jesus) 1000 years" (Revelation 20:6) "...when the 1000 years are ended..." (Revelation 20:7) IMO that indicates "millennium."...
