The Two Witnesses of Revelation 11
Who are the two witnesses of Revelation 11:3?
They are Moses and Elijah as Moses turned water into blood, and Elijah shuts the heaven that it did not rain (Revelation 11:6; Exodus 7:20; 1 King 17:1; James 5:17-18).
Moses and Elijah are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the whole earth. After the Rapture, they will be ministering in Israel at the time of the 70th week of Daniel Prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27), that is, during the last seven years of God’s dealing with Israel to prepare that nation to welcome back the Messiah to Jerusalem at His Second Coming.
In the sovereign purposes of Jehovah God the two witnesses are already here on the earth with another assignment, that is, to prepare the Gentile Church for the coming of the Lord to take His bride in the Rapture. Jehovah has assigned His two witnesses to Prophet David Owuor, founder of the Repentance and Holiness Ministry based out of Nairobi, Kenya since 2004.
Why are Moses and Elijah assigned to only Prophet David Owuor?
There was a precedent set in the days of Prophets Zechariah and Haggai. As Moses and Elijah are the two olive trees, Prophet Zechariah also saw a vision with two olive trees (Zechariah 4:1-14). In Zechariah’s vision the two olive trees represent Zechariah himself and Prophet Haggai who were both assigned to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah.
Zerubbabel was given the task to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem which was in ruins. He faced serious opposition from the Gentiles living in the surrounding regions. To encourage and strengthen him that he may complete the work, Jehovah spoke to Zerubbabel through Zechariah by way of a vision.
The vision contains two parts. The first part is a lampstand which represents the Holy Spirit: not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord (Zechariah 4:6). Hence, the message to Zerubbabel was not to worry as the work will be completed with the help of the Spirit of God.
The second part of the vision consists of the two olive trees which represent Prophets Zechariah and Haggai. They were the two anointed ones whom Jehovah assigned to Zerubbabel to encourage and help him as he pressed forward with the rebuilding of the Temple which was eventually completed in four years (520-516 BC).
Another important point to note is the prophecy of Prophet Haggai. Jehovah had already chosen Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah to do the work of rebuild the Temple. However, in Haggai 2:20-23 we read that Jehovah spoke through Haggai that He will yet chose Zerubbabel “in that day,” meaning in the future and will anoint him with great authority. Apparently, there is an end time ministry waiting for Zerubbabel.
Who is the end time Zerubbabel? He is Prophet David Owuor. Notice that through the end time Zerubbabel, Jehovah will “shake the heaven and earth, overthrow the throne of kingdoms, destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms, and overthrow chariots and its riders” (Haggai 2:22). The scope of the ministry will be global.
Finally, we noted that in Zechariah’s vision there was only one lampstand (Zechariah 4:2) but in John’s vision there were two lampstands (Revelation 11:4). This signifies the doubling of the anointing and power under the ministry of Moses and Elijah, Jehovah’s TWO MIGHTIEST PROPHETS.
