Welcome to 2 Witnesses Watch!

One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
(Deut 19:15)

Who are the 2 witnesses of revelation 11?

Date: 2-16-2020

No one knows the identity of the two witnesses for sure. However, it's easy to speculate because there are a few prophets spoken of in the Bible who had not seen death, who potentially could fulfill the role of the two witnesses of revelation 11. Namely, Enoch and Eliyah. Some say, Daniel and John the Disciple/Revelator could be the two witnesses. Whoever the two witnesses are, these 2 witnesses spoken of in revelation chapter eleven will be accepted by those who keep The Most High's commandments, and have the testimony of Yeshua. The world is going to hate the two witnesses. They will not detract from their message; Repent, the Kingdom of heaven is upon this generation, and the two witnesses will usher in the reign of The King of King's, Yeshua haMashiach.

Let's take a look at what is written about the identity and role hints of the two witnesses in the fourth chapter of the book of Zecharaiah.

And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my master? Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my master.

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of יהוה unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith יהוה of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Favour, favour unto it.

Moreover the word of יהוה(The LORD) came unto me, saying, The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that יהוה of hosts hath sent me unto you. For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of יהוה, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?

And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?

And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my master. Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Master of the whole earth.
(Zechariah 4:1-14 - ZekarYah - Yah has remembered)

Throughout the Bible we hear of two particular angels, Michael and Gabriel. The two witnesses that saved Lot were possibly these angels. They have appeared with Melek Tzadik(Melchezidek - King of Righteousness, this is Yeshua!) when they visited Abraham prior to destroying Sodom and Gomorrah.

And יהוה appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, And said, יהוה, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
(Gen 18:1-3)

And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before יהוה.
(Gen 18:22)

These two men were on a mission and knew exactly what they had to do. Have you noticed how they were already sent to warn and remove Lot from the city prior to Abraham asking?
And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground

For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of יהוה; and יהוה hath sent us to destroy it.
(Gen 19:13)

It really is true, that The Most High knows what we have need of before we ask and will provide!

And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; יהוה being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
(Gen 19:16)

Daniel was visited by one angel, Gabriel, who said the other angel, Michael, was busy dealing with the devil.

And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy Elohim, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
(Dan 10:3-14)

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
(Dan 12:1-2)

Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my master. Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Master of the whole earth.
(Zech 4:11-14)

James and John's mother knew about how important the two witnesses were, but it seems likely that the position was already filled.

Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
(Matt 20:20-21)

Were they the two angels that were at Yeshua's grave when Mary showed up? It seems so.

Here is Gabriel again, delivering a very important message to Zacharias, about his newborn son that was on the way, John, Yeshua's cousin! John fulfilled the role of EliYah who prepared the way before The Lamb!

And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of יהוה; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
(Luke 1:19)

Gabriel: warrior of God, man of God and/or God is my strength. Gabriel says He stands in the presence of The Most High. This is a clear indication of a characteristic of the two witnesses...

Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my master. Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Master of the whole earth.
(Zech 4:11-14)

Now the birth of Yeshua (Jesus Christ) was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
(Matt 1:18-20)

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
(Luke 1:26-27)

When Yeshua rose from the dead, they were there, giving a testimony!

But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Yahushua had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Rabbi, and I know not where they have laid him.
(John 20:11-13)

Here they are again. At a significant event, giving a testimony on how Yeshua will return! I'm seeing a pattern here!

And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
(Acts 1:9-10)

Perhaps these 2 angels, Gabriel and Michael are the two witnesses! Or perhaps The Most High will fulfill this role another way. Whoever the two witnesses are, our community intends to recognize them when they arrive or shortly thereafter! Then we will truly know who the two witnesses of revelation chapter 11 actually are.

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the Elohim of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
(Rev 11:3-7)

Finally, after all the scriptural evidence is in and weighed, along with prayer, it seems clear that so far the two witnesses who have been on the scene at important events and gave testimony in support of The Most High, are none other than Michael and Gabriel. But I will not limit The Most High in His applications, because He can do whatever He pleases and he could raise up two witnesses from a couple of rocks to testify! HalleluYah!

We are an international community waiting, watching, praying and discussing the arrival of the 2 witnesses of revelation 11! We will be watching for their arrival when they come. We hope to greet them, show them that they are appreciated, and, if it be possible or necessary, to be a service to them in any way should they require any type of assistance.
