Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 11:7

7. finished their testimony—The same verb is used of Paul's ending his ministry by a violent death. the beast that ascended out of the bottomless pit—Greek, "the wild beast . . . the abyss." This beast was not mentioned before, yet he is introduced as "the beast," because he had already been described by Daniel (Daniel 7:3; Daniel 7:11), and he is fully so in the subsequent part of the Apocalypse, namely, Revelation 13:1; Revelation 17:8. Thus, John at once appropriates the Old Testament... read more

F. Supplementary revelation of the two witnesses in the Great Tribulation 11:1-14John recorded the revelation dealing with the two witnesses to inform his readers of the ministries of these important individuals during the Great Tribulation. This section continues the parenthetical revelation begun in Revelation 10:1. It is one of the more difficult chapters to interpret, and students of the book have proposed many different explanations. read more

2. The ministry of the two witnesses 11:3-6Even though believing Jews will suffer persecution at this time, God will still get His message out. Two witnesses will be especially significant at this time. Valid testimony required two witnesses under the Old Covenant (Deuteronomy 19:15), and both Jesus and the early church sent out emissaries in pairs (Mark 6:7; Luke 10:2; Acts 13:2; Acts 15:39-40). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 11:5

These witnesses will be able to protect themselves by calling down fire on their enemies who try to harm them, as Elijah did (cf. 2 Kings 1:10-14). This is probably the meaning rather than that fire will actually proceed from their mouths. No one will be able to kill them until God permits this at the very end of their ministry (Revelation 11:7). read more

God will also empower them to do other miracles similar to what Elijah (cf. 1 Kings 17:1; 1 Kings 17:7; 1 Kings 18:1; Luke 4:25; James 5:17) and Moses (Exodus 7:17-21; Exodus 9:14; Exodus 11:10; 1 Samuel 4:8) did. The length of their ministry will be the same as the drought that God sent during Elijah’s day. It will also be for the same purpose, namely, to punish His people for their sins and to lead them to repentance. However the two witnesses will be able to exercise their power whenever... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 11:7

It is only when they have finished their ministry that God will permit the beast to kill the two witnesses. They will not die prematurely. This is the first of 36 references to "the beast" in Revelation (cf. Daniel 7:21). He is Antichrist, as later passages will show. This verse describes him as having his origin in the abyss, the abode of Satan and his demons (cf. Revelation 9:1-3; Revelation 9:11; Luke 8:31). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 11:1-19

The Two Witnesses. The Seventh Trumpet1-14. Second episode. There is much difference of opinion as to the meaning of this vision. Perhaps the key may be found in the parallelism of the book. There were two episodical visions after the sixth seal (see on Revelation 7), the first signifying that Christ’s people were separated and preserved from God’s judgments, the second that they were preserved not from but through death. The same meaning may be found here.1, 2. The sanctuary and altar of... read more
