Revelation 11:3-14 explain the truth about the “two witnesses.” They will play a crucial role in end-time events. This passage has inspired a lot of speculation over the years. Some of us have heard of someone who believes he’s one of these witnesses—I certainly have!

But look at the time element of this passage. It is set in the future. Right now, the two witnesses have not even received their mission. When the time comes, however, they will be empowered by God to deliver a difficult warning message before the “beast” power puts them to death (verse 7). This power is described in Revelation 13 and 17.

After the two witnesses fulfill their mission, the seventh trumpet of Revelation is blown, the “last woe,” during which something spectacular happens to these witnesses.
