The two witnesses are a symbol for the Church. There is a need for two witnesses for a credible witness against an offending party, and the Church stands, bearing a true witness of Christ against the world. Also, if you'll notice in 11:4, they are said to be the lamp stands, which should key your thoughts back to Rev. 1 where the universal, complete church is symbolized as the 7 lamp stands.
