Revelation 11:4-12; Lk 20:27-40
The two prophets heard a voice: "Come up here—to heaven!"
The Book of Revelation is a paradoxical book. On the one hand it's utterly confusing. On the other hand, it's utterly clear. Take today's description of the two witnesses. It seems to fit Moses and Elijah, who tradition said would return to earth before the final Day of the lord.
