I will try to keep it short; this is my understanding.
We see at the end of Revelation 12 in the original text the dragon is standing on the sand and the first beast comes up out of the sea (abyss/bottomless pit). In Revelation 13 the dragon (Satan) gives this beast his seat, power, and great authority to this beast, and he makes war with the saints and overcomes them. He is given 42 months = 1260 days = 3 years. There is also in the site of this first beast another beast with two horns, the false prophet.
In Revelation 11:3 the two witnesses will prophesy 1260 days the same amount of time as the two beasts (great tribulation) the image people are made to worship, the mark to be able to buy or sell, and the killings of those that reject, (the hour of temptation).
In Revelation 11:7-8 this beast that comes out of the bottomless pit kills the two witnesses in the "city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt," (Jerusalem). This same beast we see in Revelation 9 and Revelation 17.
In Revelation, there are three the dragon (Satan), the first beast, and the false prophet (the second beast). If we go by the description of antichrist the only place in the bible given by John in 1 John 2:18,221 John 4:3 and 1 John 1:7 there are billions, not just one.
The two witnesses show up at the time when the antichrist causes the abomination of desolation, between the 5th Seal and the 6th Seal and that is also when the Great Tribulation starts.
There are two men in the OT who were said to have been taken off the earth or out of sight of their brethren on earth without dying, Enoch and Elijah. I believe those two will be the two witnesses in Revelation who will be killed and raised again 3 days later. The Bible tells us Enoch will prophesy of the Lord's return to earth at the end of the tribulation ( Jude 14) and also prophesies of Elijah's ministry during the tribulation ( Matt 17:10.)
I've always believed it is Moses and Elijah. Writers of the LAW and the PROPHETS.
We People are going to want to kill them because they are fully against any law of one who tells what is coming, on earth. They do not want to obey any of Gods laws.
They will not be able to kill them, until time is up.
