The Identity of the Two Witnesses of Revelation

[christiang]

I have written a study on who the "two witnesses" of Revelation are, around when they will appear, and around when they will die. The study can be found here in English The Identity of the Two Witnesses of Revelation | Wisdom of God or in Spanish here La Identidad de los Dos Testigos del Apocalipsis | Sabiduria de Dios . Let us begin a discussion on these matters.

So who are they? Yes I read your study.

So who are they? Yes I read your study.

Who they are exactly is still a mystery. If I knew, I would've plainly told you. Keep an eye out in Jerusalem. We will all know when they manifest themselves.

 

[101G]

John the Baptist, and the Lord Jesus the Christ.

 

[Dcopymope]

Moses and Elijah

 

[101G]

Moses and Elijah

can you prove that?

Haha! One 'guess' is as good as another.

Jesus Christ and His Church. Rev..ie the Overcomers

Smile.... BG I guess you're right, but the bible gives us the answer. for Revelation is symbolic here of Moses and Elijah, but NOT Moses and Elijah

 

[101G]

Revelation 11:3 "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth".
how long did Moses or Elijah prophesy? because here, it is 3 1/2 years or 42 month

 

[101G]

we know that the ministry of John the baptist and the Lord Jesus carried over to 3 1/2 years or 42 month. so that put them on the money as to time of ministry.

in relation to all men.
Both the Lord Jesus and Moses was mediators.
both John and Elijah was sent before the Lord. but John's sending is documented in the new testament as to exactly as what he is to do "AS" the Elijah to come but not the actual man Elijah himself..

i say Elijah and Enoch, they where the only ones taken without death.

ha, like Scripture is just being coy or something, lol, and there is a measure of justification in guessing "correctly." Ok.

Yes...but how would we even know WHICH is correct ??

ha ya--it is like "the Apostle whom Jesus loved" imo. Something other than the first, natural assumption is being stated

 

[amadeus]

The Old Testament and the New Testament!

GINOLJC, @jaybird, Enoch died a natural on earth, as well as Elijah. scripture, read Hebrews 11:1-13, and especially verse 13, which tells us what happen to Enoch. and for Elijah we have him in another part of the Land after his transport, writing a letter to the king, Jehoram, approximately ten years after his whirlwind ride. this can be found in 2 Chronicles 21:12-15. We understand that this letter was written long after his taking up, because Jehoshaphat was king at that time, and it was later when his son Jehoram became king. so that eliminate Elijah and Enoch.

if you want to, google something like, "Enoch and Elijah Did They Enter Heaven". or the like.

 

[101G]

The Old Testament and the New Testament!

but when was they martyred?. for the witness here are persons, who died for their testomony.

 

[amadeus]

but when was they martyred?. for the witness here are persons, who died for their testomony.

When is the Bible dead, OT and/or NT? Jesus is the Word of God, but when he was dead on the cross, was it not a dead carcass? When the Book sets on a shelf unopened for years, is it not dead? When was Jesus martyred? When was He resurrected? What was or is His testimony? Etc.

1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

There are two who are manifest in the world: the Word, whom is Christ, meaning the flesh, and the Holy Spirit, which is the spirit of God. The two witnesses are "the dead" and "the living" (in Christ).

and how might flames come from their mouths to consume their enemies, do you think? Especially the dead?
