No offense... but you are totally off. You can't add or allegorize the whole bible and biblical truth.

what denomination are you?

no offense taken, but i hope you don’t take offense when i say that many false teachers have arisen and have fooled many.

the whole Bible, from Genesis to Revelation tells the story of God’s love for His people, namely the gift of salvation in the person of Jesus Christ.

where many go wrong is not realizing the OT is full of types and shadows looking forward to the promised birth, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the seed of Abraham and anyone who is Christ’s is an heir to all the promises made to Abraham and Israel in the OT.
national Israel, the OT equivalent or type of the Church, was cursed and the kingdom removed from them for unbelief. ( Mark 11:12-25 and Matthew 21:43 )
there were and always have been individual Jews who believe Jesus was sent from the Father and is their Messiah, but the vast majority throughout the NT time period rejected Jesus, including through today. only those who are Christ’s are heirs to the promises to Abraham,( Galatians 3:29 ) and the true Jew is one inwardly, one who is a believer in Jesus and not a literal Jew according to the flesh ( Romans 2:29 )
the book of Revelation is highly symbolic and must be read the way the rest of the Bible is read, what does it mean in salvation history? it is much too long to explain in a post on FR, but simply put the two witnesses are the Church, which was sent out by Jesus to plunder Satan’s kingdom after Jesus bound Satan at the cross. right before the end of the world, the period i believe we are in now and have been since Vatican II, Satan has been loosed and we are witnessing a mass apostasy from the true Faith and Satan actually sitting in the temple of God ( the temple being the Church, not some brick and mortar structure in literal Jerusalem, that is an impossibility )the world is rejoicing that the testimony of the Church has been effectively silenced through false doctrine of Vatican II and the various scandals in the Church. there is still a remnant that still holds to the historical Apostolic Faith, and we have been told to flee to the mountains, which i understand to mean pray and keep your eyes looking up, because Jesus Christ is surely returning soon to take away the believers in the air at the end of the world.
