The two witnesses, as depicted in the Bamberg Apocalypse, an 11th-century illuminated manuscript.
In the Book of Revelation, the two witnesses (Ancient Greek: δύο μαρτύρων, romanized: duo martyron) are two prophets who are mentioned in Revelation 11:1-14. Some Christians interpret this as two people, two groups of people, or two concepts. Some believe they are Enoch and Elijah, as in the Gospel of Nicodemus, since they are the only two that did not see death as required by the Scriptures,[1] while others believe them to be Moses and Elijah because they appeared during the transfiguration of Jesus,[2] or because Enoch was not Abraham's descendant. They have the power to shut the heavens (Elijah) and turn water into blood (Moses).
Dispensationalist Christians believe that the events described in the Book of Revelation will occur before and during the Second Coming.
