The Two Witnesses

"Then the angel said, 'Don't you know what these are?' And I said, 'No, my lord.'  Then he said, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says YHVH of hosts.' Then I said, 'What are these two olive trees on the sides of the candlestick?' And I asked, 'What are these two olive-branches beside the two golden spouts that empty the golden oil?'  He said, 'Don't you know what these are?' And I said, 'No, my lord.'  Then he said, 'These are the anointed ones; the two Sons of Fresh Oil that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.'"  (Zec. 4:5,6,11-14 para.)  " ... 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 God of the earth. . . . ."  (Rev. 11:3-5)
