Those adhering to the "individual theory" of the two witnesses point out that these are truly awesome figures. They are similar to [[Moses]] and [[Aaron]] or [[Elijah]] and [[Elisha]] - both sets wrought indisputable havoc upon their audiences (Egypt and [[Apostasy|Apostate]] Israel) and "nothing could harm them." Therefore, could not individuals be raised up in the "end of days" and do such world-wide miracles? Could they not prevail as Moses and Elijah did before the masses? Furthermore, "their dead body" (singular) does not signify any "corporate nature" of their identity--to the contrary, it simply means the visibility of a dead body in the street of Jerusalem for 3 1/2 days (not years). Their resurrection is peculiar to them only--and does not connote the "[[Resurrection of the dead|resurrection]] of the just"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.christiantrumpetsounding.com/resurrection.htm|title=just"}}</ref> nor the rapture, for the rapture of the Church (according to pretribulationists) takes place at the commencement of Daniel's 70th Week.
