Thomas Stuart Russell has another theory: that the two witness are James (head of the Jewish congregation in Jerusalem) and Paul (head of the gentile congregations). They both died at about that time with no definitive narrative of their deaths. This puts them at the end of the age, as Daniel predicted and as Jesus told them in the Olivet Discourse.
It doesn’t really matter who the Two Witnesses actually are. They will not be believed and will be murdered by the powers that control the ENTIRE Earth at that time.
One world government, that is the watchword................
Never heard that one, but that theory can’t stand in light of Rev. 11:3-7
