Two WitnessesThese are the central figures in Revelation 11:11. They are God's prophets who testify during the end times and are killed by the beast. Their resurrection is a pivotal event in the account. 2. The Beast This is the entity that kills the two witnesses. It represents opposition to God and His people, often interpreted as a symbol of evil powers or empires. 3. The Great City This is where the two witnesses are killed and resurrected. It is often identified with Jerusalem, symbolically called Sodom and Egypt in Revelation 11:8, representing spiritual corruption. 4. Breath of Life from God This is the divine power that resurrects the two witnesses, signifying God's ultimate authority over life and death. 5. The People and Nations These are the observers of the witnesses' resurrection, representing the world's population who witness God's power and glory. Teaching Points God's Sovereignty Over Life and DeathThe resurrection of the two witnesses demonstrates God's ultimate control over life and death, encouraging believers to trust in His power and timing.

The vision of the dry bones will be remembered; in part, the very wording of it is employed here--e.g., "they stood upon their feet" (Ezekiel 37:1-10); and a yet more sacred remembrance--the three days of our Master's death-sleep--will be traced here. "Where I am there shall also My servant be" (John 12:26). "If we suffer with Him, we shall also be glorified together" (Romans 8:17). There is a resurrection power in even rejected truth; the strength of it is undying. If it be of God, men cannot overthrow it. "The corn of wheat that dies brings forth much fruit."
