The Two Witnesses
The two witnesses have a 3½ year ministry. They are clothed in sackcloth, representing a solemn prophetic ministry requiring the repentance of the people. These men are described as two olive trees (anointed ones) and two lampstands (bearing the light of the Word of God) referred to in Zechariah 4:12-14.
They have the power to: Kill their enemies with fire; Keep it from raining; Turn waters into blood; Bring plagues upon the earth; Harm others with the same harm they attempted to inflict on them
President George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789:
“WHEREAS it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me 'to recommend to the people of the United States a DAY OF PUBLIC THANSGIVING and PRAYER, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”
