Bible Question: I think that the two witnesses of Rev 11:3 could be prophets, some speculate that one will be Elijah. Could this also be a reference to Gentile and Jewish believers? |
Bible Answer: Greetings! I have read the posts on this verse and have a further observationfor you to consider. I hope this won't fall into the "ridiculous category" as some have suggested of others ideas! For reasons I have posted before, I believe that Enoch and Elijah could very well be the two witnesses of Revelation 11. After some further reading in Romans I'm wondering if this fits in . . . It seems to me that Enoch and Elijah, translated as they were into heaven, may match this description: "These are the two anointed ones who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth." Zech 4:14. The two witnesses of Revelation 11 are described as olive trees. In Romans 11:24 we also read about two olive trees. One was a wild olive tree and the other was a cultivated one. The wild olive tree represented the Gentiles and the cultivated olive tree represented the Jews. If the two witneses in Revelation are described as olive trees, and since both Gentiles and Jews bear witness to Jesus, could these also be a representative of each people: Enoch representing the Gentiles and Elijah representing the Jews? Just something to think about! Blessings Mommapbs |
