634. Verses 3, 4. And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. 3. "And I will give unto my two witnesses," signifies the good of love and charity, and the truth of doctrine and faith, both from the Lord (n. 635); "and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days," signifies that they shall teach, and what shall be taught, even to the end of the old church and the beginning of the new (n. 636); "clothed in sackcloth," signifies in mourning because of the non-reception of Divine good and Divine truth (n. 637). 4. "These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands," signifies celestial good and spiritual good, or the good of love and the truth of that good (n. 638); "standing before the God of the earth" signifies which are the Divine things proceeding from the Lord, and are His in heaven and in the church (n. 639).
