The vision of the two witnesses in Revelation 11 reveals the commission of the Church on earth until Jesus returns. The Church is to follow Christ down the path of witnessing to the Gospel and the Kingdom and self-sacrificially embracing suffering and potentially death from the world. But heavenly glory, vindication, and validation awaits the Church and it is only through the faithful and suffering witness of the Church that God's mission will be completed: the repentance of the rebellious.
