If the two witnesses were the actual and original Moses and Elijah, would you recognise them? What about Enoch and Elijah? Moses and Aaron? John and James? Lazarus and Joseph of Arimathea? How about a couple of random blokes from Gwenu and Dunedoo?
Get the picture... or actually, see how one cannot get the picture when concerned with the who and not the what or the why?
The complete irrelevance of who they are is lost on the majority of people because of a perverse obession with personality. Who they are is utterly irrelevant. What they are and why they come is of the utmost relevance, but again, this is not in itself the central theme as so many have made it. The central theme is, of course, Christ Yeshua, and it is Christ to whom the two witnesses point, just as the two pointers point at the Southern Cross, and as it rotates about the southern celestial pole, the two pointers always follow. This is the truth of the two witnesses. No matter where the Lord goes, they will follow.
Who are they? Who cares! I would wager that they don't.
If the Holy Spirit is truly within then one will recognise the two witnesses by their character, and not by their names and most definitely not by their faces. Therefore, the only way to ensure that you know them when they come is to know Christ first.
