REVELATION—NOTE ON Revelation 11:3 Scripture requires two witnesses to confirm testimony (Deuteronomy 19:15; Matthew 18:16). The two witnesses of Revelation may represent the saints, as the parallel between Revelation 11:7 and Revelation 13:7 suggests. They wear the sackcloth of repentance (compare Isaiah 37:1; Jonah 3:5; Matthew 11:21) to symbolize their message. Some scholars believe these are two actual individuals who will appear at the end of history.
