Bible Question:
Preface:KJV Revelation Chapter 11 verse 3 states, "And I will give power unto my two witnesses..." Question: Who are the "two witnesses" that are being referred to in this verse? Thanks, KW |
Bible Answer: They are usually interpreted as referring to Elijah and Moses in light of the powers they have to bring about a drought(1 Kings 17:1-3; 18:1) and turn the Nile into blood (Exodus 7:14-16)and how their enemies were destroyed (2 Kings 1:10; Numbers 16:35). Minority interpretations see them as representing the Old and New Covenants or St Peter St Paul. But Elijah and Moses is the interpretation of the vast majority of exegetes. They are referred to as Two olives trees and two lampstands. The olive tree term is used to refer to Zerubabel, a prince of line of David and Josuha in Zechariah 3:3-14. Emmaus |
