Yes, these are the two witnesses that testified of Jesus, namely the Law and the prophets. These two groups has two representatives Moses for the Law, and Elijah for the prophets. Moses smote the earth with plagues and turned water into blood (Exodus) and wrote down the Law on stone, and Elijah had the power from God to hold back that rain (1 Kings 17). These two groups throughout Israel's time period had a constant testimony before the nation until Christ's death and resurrection at the cross and final nail in the coffin was Christ's judgment of them in 70AD.
See, Revelation was written to 1st century Christians and Revelation 1-3 sets the stage of this. So in my view, Revelation mainly deals with the hard times Christians will face during the time period of harsh persecution from the Jews and Romans, the destruction of Mostly Jerusalem, then Roman, by Christ Himself (using the Roman army vs Jerusalem, and using Christians and their faith and endurance vs the corporate Roman beast and individual Roman beast). So for the saints in that day, this book gives them a message to hang in, persevere, endure, do not give up hope, God ultimately wins and is victorious.
If you read Revelation with a 21st century mindset or Goggles, then you render Revelations totally meaningless to its first readers, namely the 1st century Christians.

Hi dan.7:18 There is nothing in Rev.11:6 that needs to be analyzed (broke-down). It is very clear. NOW, If you want an opinion on the where, when, how, etc. of the verse, ; that will take some yrs. of scholarship, and we will see a lot of difference in opinions. The time is after the rapture of the Church from the earth, ( SO. here is our first disagreement, but this is according to my Pre-wrath rapture view.) I believe the Rapture is the opening of the 6th seal in Rev. 6:12. The tribulation of the church age is over and the great day of God's wrath has begun. The Church of God (all saints from Adam to the rapture,) is in Heaven. Rev.11:1-12 is a parenthetical insert between the 6th and the 7th Trumpet judgments, because these two witnesses are going to witness for God for like 3 and one half yrs,. The names of the two witnesses are not known. So be it for now. Hoffco

Dan,
There are many schools of thought concerning Revelation and many bitterly defend their understanding. I would advice you to get a free Bible software, which often has a concordance attached with it, and do your own diligent search. And I would strongly advice you to learn, at least, the grammatical tense as it is spoken in the Greek. You would be amazed how lively the written Word becomes with such an understanding.
You need only Scripture to learn of these two witnesses who are spoken of in the Old Testament.
