8 And I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; and my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

Apocalypse Revealed #499

Study this Passage

499. Then, when they finish their testimony. (11:7) This symbolically means that after the Lord has taught that He is God of heaven and earth, and that conjunction with Him is achieved through a life in accordance with the Ten Commandments.

When they finish means, symbolically, after the Lord has taught. The two witnesses, indeed, have done the teaching, yet not of themselves, but from the Lord. That their testimony symbolizes these two essential elements may be seen in no. 490 above.
