And said unto me, What see you?     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: Zec 4:2

And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. Zec 4:3

So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? Zec 4:4

Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Know you not what these be?     And I said, No, my lord. Zec 4:5

Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts. Zec 4:6 In the Creation, The Holy Spirit inspired, the Word Spoke and the Holy Spirit moved to bring what was spoken to pass.     Gen 1:2 The plans of man are vanity and his efforts futile unless they are consistent with the Word and empowered by The Holy Spirit.

Who are you, O great mountain?     before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Zec 4:7 This speaks to the destruction of the Antichrist Kingdom as the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Rev 11:3 I believe the two witness are symbolic of the Spirit Filled church which will rise up against the beast, resisting his policies, denouncing his wickedness and proclaiming the coming judgment Zec 4:1-7.      The reasoning for this is that the testimony of two men is deemed sure Joh 8:17.      The fact that they witness for the same period of time (3 1/2 years) in which the Great Tribulation occurs is significant.      Those who reject the mark, name and number of the beast will be singled out for persecution.      Since those Spirit Filled believers use every means possible to warn the people of the earth against the beast, his policies and his control, they are enemies of 'the state'.     Accordingly they will be put to death.      The 3 1/2 days in which they lie in the street is symbolic of the short span of time in which the beast and his followers rejoice over their 'defeat' of Christianity.      The sackcloth indicates that the message they preach is one of judgment and destruction.

These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the one worshipped in the earth. Rev 11:4 See Zec 4:1-7.      The one 'worshipped in the earth' is the antichrist who has been elevated as saviour of the world.      The two witnesses come against his kingdom declaring    → the lordship of Jesus Christ    → His return    → the destruction of the Antichrist Kingdom.

And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. Rev 11:5 A violent confrontation ensues as the Gospel is preached at the seat of the antichrist`s power.      I believe that the fire which comes from the mouths of the witnesses is the Holy Spirit inspired praclamation of death to those who have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ.      There may be physical death, but more than likely it is akin to the proclamation that our Lord made to Adam and Eve regarding the result of eating from the TKGE - it will be Eternal Death.

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 strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. Rev 11:6 The Holy Spirit will manifest through the believers to do mighty miracles as a sign of the legitimacy of their warnings.

And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. Rev 11:7 So, there will be mass extermination of Christians at the end of the Great Tribulation as the beast has convinced the world that it is Christians who are causing all the economic, political, social and natural disruptions that are occurring.

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Rev 11:8

And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. Rev 11:9 The 3 1/2 days are likely symbolic of the short space of time between the mass extermination of Christians and the return of our Lord to resurrect us.

And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. Rev 11:10 The torment that the Spirit Filled Christians will inflict on the inhabitants of the earth is mental, emotional and spiritual as the Truth cuts into their delusions of independence from their Creator and Judge.      Once their tormentors are out of the way, they rejoice, but only for a short space of time.

And after three days and an half life from the Holy Spirit entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. Rev 11:11 The 3 1/2 days are likely symbolic of the short space of time between the mass extermination of Christians and the return of our Lord to resurrect us.      When our Lord appears in the sky and the dead in Christ are raised, there will be great fear and dread upon all those who have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ.

And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up here.     And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. Rev 11:12 So, the church is mass murdered, the world rejoices in their death, our Lord appears in the sky, we are resurrected and caught up to Him in the sight of all those who have rejected Him.
