"The Two Witnesses?"

 

Throughout my life as a believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ, I have read many views as to who these two witnesses could be. I have always tried to be open minded and "listen" to the different views. I have just read Renee's web site and her view. My concern with it is this:
1. Israel and the church are many individuals, and according to Rev 11:8,9 we read that these two individuals' bodies will lay in the street for 3 1/2 days.
2. John the Baptist and Jesus Christ died, and we believe and know that our Lord is raised up and sits at the right hand of the Father. For we read in Hebrews 9:27,28 that it is [appointed] unto men [once to die,] but after this the judgment: So Christ was [once] offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Always, Always, Always do I check any theory with the word of God.

Some have said that it cannot be Enoch because he was not a Hebrew. I read nothing that indicates that they must both be Hebrews, or that either must be Hebrews. We do know that the Israelites set a place for Elijah each year, because the Lord God promised to send him [before] the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. Malachi 4:5,6
For what I understand from these scriptures, these two men are the best candidates. Neither of these two men died. They were taken by God and did not see death.
Hebrews 9:27,28 must be fulfilled !
God has spoken it and he will also bring it to pass.
Blessings to you all
