The two witnesses in Revelation are believed to be the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia, not just two individuals. The word “witnesses” is translated from “martus,” meaning faithful witnesses, often used to describe churches or followers of Christ. The number 24 elders, mentioned throughout Revelation, aligns with the idea of two churches, each with 144,000 sealed witnesses, establishing a biblical pattern of judgement by two or three witnesses.
