Who does the speaker think may be one of the two witnesses?
The speaker suggests Elijah may be one of the two witnesses. He acknowledges Scripture does not identify them, so this is speculation, but he finds Elijah easier to decide because Elijah was taken up without having died. He also points to Malachi chapter 4, verse 5 as a supporting text.
Les explains that Revelation 11 introduces the appearance of the two witnesses at the beginning of the tribulation. He says we cannot be dogmatic about their identity because Scripture does not tell us, but we can speculate. The one he thinks is a little easier to decide is Elijah. Les says it is very possible that one of the two witnesses will be Elijah, because Elijah was taken up without having died. He then directs attention back to Malachi chapter 4, verse 5 as a related Old Testament passage.
