The two witnesses’ grant to prophecy is related to their
appointed 1,260 days. They will speak and declare Jesus’ words to the
world, both taking away blessing and bringing forth judgement. 2 is a number of
division and unity and speaks of two two witnesses that are divided in
identity, or heritage, but are unified in purpose: to give a unified witness
to the world.
1,260 speaks of the time we get to live in the
light (from the time of Christ until the rapture of the church and of the
specific time when Yahweh’s two witnesses are actively prophesying on
this earth). And “days” is Code for the light of Jesus
being brought forth upon the world though His Lampstands (the vessels made of “reeds” through which His oil flows).
The two witnesses ARE the two olive trees and the two
lampstands that before the Lord of the earth have been standing. The olive
trees speak of the two witnesses’ identity, what they are, but the
picture of the lampstands speaks more to their function or purpose: to
be bearers of light—to be a witness. This is a picture of the church collective
wherein which all Israel is saved.
