What does it mean that the witnesses will be killed?

Answered in 1 source

The killing of the witnesses signifies the world's hostility towards the gospel and God's ultimate triumph.

In Revelation 11, the death of the witnesses symbolizes the fierce opposition the church will face from a world enmired in unbelief and hostility towards the gospel. This act of persecution is representative of the broader warfare between the truth of God's revelation and the lies propagated by Satan. However, their death is not a final defeat; rather, it highlights that the witness of the church persists even in the face of death. Ultimately, the narrative reveals a divine assurance: though earthly circumstances may appear grim, God’s truth is invincible and will culminate in His glory and the eventual triumph of His kingdom.
