The vast preponderance of the evidence points to the identity of the Two Witnesses as Elijah and Moses: 1. Malachi 4:5–6 and Matthew 17:11 prophesy that God will send Elijah before the great and dreadful Day of the Lord. Malachi 4:4 also mentioned Moses in the context. The Lord, Moses, and Elijah are the last three people mentioned in the Old Testament in the context of the Lord smiting the earth with judgments.
2. One of the witnesses mentioned here has the power to shut heaven that it rain not. Elijah performed this same feat when he held back the rain for three and one-half years (James 5:17; 1 Kings 17:1). 3.

The Bible suggests that Satan's reason for attempting to acquire the dead body of Moses was so that God could not use him against the Antichrist (Jude 1:9). 5. Moses (Exodus 24:18) and Elijah (1 Kings 19:8) spent 40 days and nights fasting on the Mount, just as Christ did (Matthew 4: 2). 6. Three persons are said to stand in the presence of the Lord: Moses (Exodus 33:21), Elijah (1 Kings 17:1), and Jesus (Acts 7:56). 7. Three persons crossed water miraculously: Moses (Exodus 14:15), Elijah (2 Kings 2:8), and Jesus (Matthew 14:25-26). 8. Three persons destroyed men with fire: Moses (Numbers 16:31–35) and Elijah (2 Kings 1:10), which the two witnesses in this text both can do, and Jesus in the future (Malachi 4:1). 9. Three persons displayed power over the natural elements during their ministries: Moses with the ten plagues (Exodus chapter 5-10), Elijah with the stopping of the rain from heaven (1 Kings 17:1), and Jesus who comma
