Who Are The TWO WIT

 

SYMBOL MEANINGS

THE TWO WITNESSES:

Revelation 11:3-6 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
⁴ These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. ⁵ 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. ⁶ 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.

Who are the candlesticks (lampstands)

Revelation 1:20 seven lampstands are the seven churches. NIV

Revelation 1:20 and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. KJV

Matthew 5:14-16
"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

It was when God commanded His light to shine in our hearts that we began to see how excellent it is to know Jesus Christ, compared to all other things. 2 Corinthians 4:6.

The lampstand was therefore like a tree of gold. ‘In Him was life and the life was the light of men’. John 1:4. The Lampstand was lit permanently, to give light inside the Holy Place. ‘The true light which enlightens every man was coming into the world’. John 1:9.

WHO ARE THE OLIVE TREES?

Romans 11:17-21 ¹⁷ If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, ¹⁸ do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. ¹⁹ You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” ²⁰ Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. ²¹ For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

Jeremiah 11:16-17 ¹⁶ The LORD called you a thriving olive tree
with fruit beautiful in form.
But with the roar of a mighty storm
he will set it on fire,
and its branches will be broken.
¹⁷ The LORD Almighty, who planted you, has decreed disaster for you, because the people of both Israel and Judah have done evil and aroused my anger by burning incense to Baal.

The Jews are the Olive tree. Each person is a branch. Jesus is the Root. We, the gentiles were grafted in. The JEWS are the “NATURAL BRANCH”.

Isaiah 43:10-13 ¹⁰ “You are my witnesses, ” declares the LORD,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
¹¹ I, even I, am the LORD,
and apart from me there is no savior.
¹² I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses, ” declares the LORD, “that I am God.
¹³ Yes, and from ancient days I am he.
No one can deliver out of my hand.
When I act, who can reverse it?”
