I'm in no way disputing your answer but I must ask why then are there TWO witnesses when the church is only singular?...
Where else are witnesses referred to in the scriptures? What do those passages say about witnesses? Where else are lampstands referred to? What is said about them there? Where else are olive trees referred to? What is said about them? In those places is the number two ever significant?
Forgive me if I am dense, but what am I missing here? Are you asking these Q's or are you answering mine?
