I don't know if there is any significance given to the fact that Enoch was a part of a different dispensation, i.e. before the Law, and both Moses and Elijah were both 'under the Law' but it is a very interesting to think about.




I was thinking about this situation that Enoch was a part of a different dispensation. I don't know if it plays any part in the matter at all, I agree on what your saying, but I was thinking, Moses started out in the same dispensation as Enoch.

In the beginning most of the signs, wonders, and miracles, that involved Moses in Egypt and the beginning of their wanderings in the Sinai desert was spent in the same dispensation. Moses later in life wrote the Law. I don't know if it really matters or has an affect on who the two witnesses are but its something to note.

Enoch on the other hand is quoted by Jude, six thousand years later. I went back to the prophecy given by Enoch and this prophecy is speaking of the end times. Clear up to our day and time.

He said; "the Lord will return with ten thousands of His saints to execute vengeance on the wicked".

I like the idea of letting scripture speak for itself and not making it say something it is not saying. Just seeing that it will happen at some time in the future is very interesting but from there we have to leave it just for what it says. God could use somebody entirely different for all we know.

Many of the scenarios in the end time that we hear today are nothing more then mere speculation. That's why so many cannot show from scripture where they come up with their conclusions concerning end time events, they try to avoid direct questions because many times the scriptures their quoting are pulled out of context, then they fill in the blanks.

What about these views concerning Moses, Elijah, and Enoch, as being the two witnesses? We know for sure that they will come from heaven as the two olive trees and two lamp stands that stand before God and will preach in the streets of Jerusalem.

From our standpoint we just know that it will be two men. This reminds me somewhat of when people try to guess who the Antichrist is, its another of those cases that its just something that will take place and is in God's hands and His timing.
