Renee M,

 

I believe these two witnesses are John the Baptist and Jesus.  There are many witnesses today, and since Pentecost.  That is what all believers are commanded to do. [Mark 16:15-20]  Their ministry was ca. 3.5 years or 1260 days. [1260 ÷ 3.5 years = 360 prophetic years]

 

Rev. 11:3 “And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

 

Zech. 4:12 [KJV] “What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?”

          I believe these two witnesses are John and Jesus.  They were both filled with the Holy Spirit: John was filled from his mother’s womb, and, of course, Jesus was the Holy Spirit [Emmanuel or God with us]. God is a spirit.

They both gave their lives: John was beheaded and Jesus was crucified.  Oil represents the Holy Spirit. So they spilled out their golden oil for us.  The Messenger and the Message performed their task almost 2,000 years ago.  All we have to do is repent, receive and believe:  and watch for His 2^nd coming.

 

May God bless you and all in your needs and desires, jfh
