Who Are The Two Witnesses?
By COGwriter
The Book of Revelation describes two individuals who are called the "two witnesses." Who are the two witnesses?
What is their job? What does the Bible reveal?
What has the Church of God (COG) taught on this subject? Might Roman Catholic prophecies give some clues here?
This article will briefly attempt to answer those questions. Also, please note that the terms may, might, seem, possibly, etc. are used throughout portions of this article--those type of terms are used intentionally to distinguish that certain statements are still unclear. Hence, speculative comments are normally identified, as they may change. But they do attempt to explain information about the two witnesses on the basis of the Bible, Catholic, and COG writings. (Here is a related link in Spanish/español: ¿Quiénes son los dos testigos?)
First From the Bible
Here is some of what the Bible says about the two witnesses:
1 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. 3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. 6 These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.----------------------------- THE PROTESTANT
