The two witnesses are Enoch & Elijah (not Moses, not John, not the church & Israel, etc), and here's why ...
Proof: *Book of Enoch 89:51–52.
A Forgotten Prophetic Link
Most Christians know that Enoch and Elijah are the only two human beings in Scripture who were translated — taken up by God without seeing death.
- Genesis 5:24 KJV — “And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.”
- Hebrews 11:5 KJV — “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death…”
- 2 Kings 2:11 KJV — “…and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.”
These two men stand alone in all of biblical history.
But what many believers have never seen is that the Book of Enoch itself actually places Elijah with Enoch — explicitly — in the Animal Apocalypse section (*1 Enoch 85–90).
And the passage is stunning.
Elijah Brought to Enoch
“And again I saw those sheep (Israel) that they again erred and went many ways, and forsook that their house (Temple), and the Lord of the sheep called some (prophets) from amongst the sheep and sent them to the sheep, but the sheep began to slay them.
And one of them (Elijah) was saved and was not slain, and it sped away and cried aloud over the sheep (Israel); and they sought to slay it, but the Lord of the sheep saved it from the sheep, and brought it up to me (Enoch), and caused it (Elijah) to dwell there.” (brackets mine for clarification)

This is the only place in the entire Animal Apocalypse where a prophet is brought directly to Enoch himself.
And the prophet fits Elijah perfectly:
- He is sent to a rebellious Israel
- Israel seeks to kill him
- He flees and cries out over the people
- God preserves him
- He is taken up
- And in this vision, he is brought to Enoch, the only other man who was taken up alive
This is not Moses.
Moses died — plainly and explicitly.
- Deuteronomy 34:5–6 KJV — “So Moses the servant of the LORD died there…”
This prophet‑sheep is Elijah, and the text shows him being brought to Enoch.
Why This Matters
If Enoch and Elijah are together in the heavenly realm, preserved and dwelling in the same place, then the prophetic picture becomes clear.
The Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 KJV:
- are human
- prophesy
- are killed
- lie dead in the street
- rise after 3½ days
- ascend to heaven
"And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." {Revelation 11:8 KJV, bold/italics mine for emphasis - more on "the great city"}
And Hebrews 9:27 KJV says:
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die…”
Only two humans have never died:
- Enoch
- Elijah
Revelation 11 is the only place in Scripture where two preserved, translated men finally die once, fulfilling Hebrews 9:27 KJV.
The miracle‑signs in Revelation 11 KJV resemble Moses and Elijah, but the identities are Enoch and Elijah — the only two who have not yet died.
And 1 Enoch 89:52 quietly confirms this pairing:
Elijah is brought to Enoch and caused to dwell with him.
Wherever Enoch is, there Elijah is also.
Conclusion
1 Enoch 89:51–52 preserves a remarkable detail:
Elijah is brought up to Enoch and dwells with him.
This is the earliest literary echo of the pairing later revealed in Revelation 11 KJV.
The two translated prophets:
are the two preserved witnesses —
are the two who have not yet died —
are the two who will die once in Jerusalem —
are Enoch and Elijah.
Exactly as Scripture requires.
Exactly as Hebrews 9:27 KJV demands.
Exactly as the Book of Enoch quietly shows.
Elijah’s flight from Israel, their attempts to kill him, and his cry over the nation are recorded in 1 Kings 17–19 KJV, especially 2 Kings 1:9–15 KJV.
Why NOT Moses? Because, Moses Died.
* NOTE: “The Book of Enoch” is the same as “1 Enoch”.
