Rev 11:11–12

11:11, 12 If the two witnesses are individuals, their resurrection should presumably be interpreted literally. If the witnesses are symbolic of the churches, their resurrection symbolizes the victory of Christian witness after a time of intense persecution (6:9, 10; 20:1–6). See note on v. 3.
