Not the 2 Witnesses but the Sunset (end of light) Witnesses

Not the 2 Witnesses but the Sunset (end of light) Witnesses
The English translation of the “two witnesses” in Revelations 11 is incorrect because of several important factors.

It is clear in revelations 11:1-2, that Christ is directing John to measure/evaluate only those at the temple altar and to ignore those in the temple courtyard. It is interesting to note that both categories of Christians are in the temple. Those in the courtyard are described as being given up to the nations... that they have embraced man’s way before that of Christ. Only those at the altar are considered to be true, without compromise, to the One and Only God. The question is whether these elect will truly stand in faith till death, as He also states that they will be trampled (persecuted-examined to compromise) for 42 months (1260 days, 3.5 years)?

(....there is only one other belief that Christians embrace as being righteous and good and give it priority in their lives...the belief in freedom of rights and religion...however this belief makes The True God and Christ into a religion among other religions, thus denying God's Preemienence.)

He refers to these elect as the city holy (or inhabitants holy). This is one indication that shows that there will be more that two witnesses of the True God.

It is at the next line that the past translators interpreted the Greek word «δυσιν» to mean “two”. This is incorrect. The word «δυσιν» (dusin) means the quarter in which the sun sets...i.e. the sunset...end of sunlight. The root word of «δυσιν» is δυσ , which means notion of difficult or coming to an end. Also, in order to create uniformity, the Greek word «δυo» (duo...meaning two) has replaced the Greek word «δυω» (also pronounced as “duo”). However, «δυω» also means the setting of the sun or stars.

Therefore the reading of Rev 11:3-5 should be as follows:

...and I will give (ability, license, permission) to my “sunset / end of light of God’s Word” witnesses (martyrs) and they shall prophecy 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth.
...these are the «δυω» (setting of the sun light) olive trees (holy kings)(1)
...and the «δυω» (setting of the sun light) lamp stands (priests)(1)
...which before the “god of the earth” (Satan) stand (face against)

I hope that you will see that this is in line with the other scriptures and correctly reflects the true message and events to come.

(1) Christ has referred in scriptures that the faithful witnesses will be kings and priests in His kingdom.
