How soon before HAMAS, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, or Hizbollah claim that it was a secret Israeli weapon designed to corrupt the morals of the sweet, innocent Palisimian children?

I doubt it, but that’s because I take a more literal interpretation. I believe the two witnesses will actually be two people.

"I doubt it, but that’s because I take a more literal interpretation. I believe the two witnesses will actually be two people."

Could also be technology. The two witnesses *could* be TV and the Internet...slain then resurrected.

Does anyone think the two witnesses may be aliens (not illegals but extra-terrestrial) who are killed and their bodies left on display for all to see????

Sounds reasonable to me.

Maybe we are working up to the real FULL DISCLOSURE?????
