Guess again...
You have "mixed up" the context of the passages so that your comparison is out-of-context.

If you would compare the description in Matthew 24:29 to Revelation 8:7-12; 11:6 - you just might see that the Two Witnesses cause these things to happen after the end of the [Great] Tribulation.

Gary I believe Rev 11 is a compact view of the entire 3.5 year tribulation, right up to the 7th Trump and end of this world
The (Two Witnesses) are present at the beginning of the 42 month, 1260 day, or 3.5 year tribulation, same time frame the antichrist is given power, the actions brought by the two witnesses in plagues, is the great tribulation, brought upon the wicked world.
The entire tribulation is a remake of Moses/Aaron against Pharaoh of Egypt
I believe the plagues seen in the Revelation are brought by the words of the two witnesses, even though the Angel's are seen in deliverance, messenger team work you know
I believe in the (Same Hour) the witnesses are literally raised to heaven, the final hours of earths existence takes place, the 2and woe earthquake, the third woe comes quickly, in the second coming of Jesus Christ at the 7th Trump, Final Judgement by fire, judgement complete, the end, Lake of fire for the wicked, New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, for the righteous, that's my observation
Revelation 11:2-19KJV
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
