Les Feldick does not name the two witnesses, and Scripture itself does not name them either.
Les says he refuses to name them specifically because "the Scripture doesn't name them." He acknowledges that some think they are Moses and Elijah, while others say Elijah and Enoch, but he prefers to call them "two men of God's own choosing" who appear in Jerusalem during the tribulation.
Revelation 11:3 — This verse directly introduces the two witnesses and gives the length of their prophesying as 1,260 days.
Revelation 11:12 — This verse shows what happens after the two witnesses finish their testimony and are raised to heaven.
Revelation 11:3 says, "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." Verse 4 adds, "These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth." The chapter describes what they do and how long they do it, but it never gives them personal names. Matthew 11:14 records Jesus' conditional statement to Israel: "And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come." The word "if" tied the coming of Elijah to Israel's reception of the King and the kingdom. The Bible itself, however, does not explicitly identify which two individuals fulfill Revelation 11.
Les Feldick is deliberately noncommittal about the identity of the two witnesses. He says, "I refuse to name specifically" (Clip 1), and repeats, "Since the Scripture doesn't name them, I'm not going to" (Clip 2). He acknowledges that some think they are Moses and Elijah and others think Elijah and Enoch, but he prefers to simply leave it as "two men of God's own choosing." Les places the two witnesses at the very beginning of the seven-year tribulation, after Israel signs a treaty with the Antichrist. They come to Jerusalem and witness to the nation of Israel (Clip 3, Clip 7). He also teaches that they will prophesy for 1,260 days, which he calculates as three and a half years (Clip 4, Clip 5). At the end of that time they are put to death and then resurrected. Les connects their ministry to the sealing of the 144,000 Jewish men, who then go around the world proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom — that the King is coming (Clip 1, Clip 2).
No. Les explicitly says he refuses to name them specifically. He says some think they could be Moses and Elijah, and others think Elijah and Enoch, but he prefers to leave it as two men of God's own choosing.
Les places the appearance of the two witnesses at the very onset of the seven-year tribulation, soon after Israel signs a treaty with the Antichrist. They appear in the area of Jerusalem and witness primarily to the Jewish nation.
Revelation 11:3 says the two witnesses prophesy for 1,260 days. Les repeatedly points out that this is three and a half years, the first half of the seven-year tribulation.
At the end of their testimony, the two witnesses are put to death, and their bodies lie on the streets of Jerusalem. Revelation 11:12 records a voice from heaven saying, "Come up hither," and Les notes they are resurrected.
Les teaches that out of the ministry of the two witnesses, God will seal and commission 144,000 young Jewish men. These 144,000 will go around the world proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom — that the King is coming.
John the Baptist, Elijah, and the Kingdom Offer
Les emphasizes the conditional 'if' in Jesus' words about Elijah and the kingdom, showing Israel was offered the King and the kingdom but did not receive it.
Les Refuses to Name the Two Witnesses
Les explicitly says he refuses to name the two witnesses, mentions the Moses/Elijah and Elijah/Enoch possibilities, and connects their ministry to the 144,000.
The Two Witnesses and the 144,000
Les repeats that he will not name the two witnesses and explains that their preaching in Jerusalem leads to the sealing and commissioning of the 144,000.
Timing of the Two Witnesses
Les places the appearance of the two witnesses at the start of the seven years, after Israel signs a treaty, and ties their ministry to the 144,000.
1260 Days and the Resurrection
Les shows the two witnesses prophesy for 1,260 days, are killed, and then hear the voice from heaven saying 'Come up hither.'
Mid-Tribulation Timing
Les points to Revelation 11:3 to confirm the two witnesses' 1,260-day ministry covers three and a half years and ends with their death and resurrection.
Supernatural Nature
Les says the appearance of the two witnesses, whether Moses and Elijah or men of God's choosing, will be a supernatural phenomenon at the start of the seven years.
Witnessing to Israel and the 144,000
Les places the two witnesses in the context of Israel's restored temple worship and says their witnessing to the Jewish nation results in the 144,000.
Revelation 11:3: And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
This is the key verse for the two witnesses' identity and the length of their ministry.
Revelation 11:4: These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
This verse describes the two witnesses symbolically without giving their personal names.
Revelation 11:12: And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
This verse reveals what happens to the two witnesses after their testimony and death.
Matthew 11:14: And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
This verse shows that the fulfillment of Elijah's coming was conditioned on Israel's reception of the King and the kingdom.
No. The Bible describes them as 'my two witnesses,' 'two olive trees,' and 'two candlesticks,' but it never gives them personal names.
Les says some people think they are Moses and Elijah and others think they are Elijah and Enoch, but he refuses to name them because Scripture doesn't.
They prophesy for 1,260 days, which Les consistently identifies as three and a half years.
They are put to death, their bodies lie in the streets of Jerusalem, and then Revelation 11:12 says a voice from heaven tells them to 'Come up hither,' and they are resurrected.
