What does the Bible say about the two witnesses in Revelation 11?

Answered in 2 sources

Revelation 11 describes two witnesses who prophesy for a specific period, symbolizing the church's testimony and empowerment.

In Revelation 11, the two witnesses represent the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, empowered to bear witness to the truth. They prophesy for 1,260 days, a period symbolizing the entire New Testament church age. The witnesses are referred to as two candlesticks, highlighting their role in bearing the light of the gospel amidst opposition. This passage emphasizes that the church, fueled by the Holy Spirit, has a divinely ordained purpose to testify of God's grace and truth in a world often hostile to its message. The church is depicted as having authority, akin to the prophets of old, to call down spiritual judgments, reflecting the severity and reality of preaching the gospel.
