My only problem is that al-Baghdadi won't actually agree to this, and Satan won't let him, nor do I think God would. That type of situation in modern day. Too many cameras, it would be a miracle of God's will being on camera for the world to see, which I feel God would have prophecied about that day (but hey who knows.)
My only concern is that if it was accepted nothing would happen for either side, and will just provide more ammunition for atheists.
Christians are too influenced by incorrect theology and corrupt interpretations, especially by the name it and claim it crowd. Yes I can pray to GOd to bring fire down or whatever to prove his existence, but GOd proberbly will not.
Elijah was a one of the few special people on this planet, he was chosen by and anointed by God, he had a very special relationship with God and had reached that stage where things he said happened all of which would have been directly influenced by God.
Elijah knew God would deliever on whatever he did in his name, can Keller claim the same thing? Is he in that special spiritual place where God will do that? I do not think so.

[h=3]The Two Witnesses[/h]11 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. [SUP]2 [/SUP]But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. [SUP]3 [/SUP]And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” [SUP]4 [/SUP]They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”[SUP][a][/SUP] [SUP]5 [/SUP]If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. [SUP]6 [/SUP]They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them. [SUP]8 [/SUP]Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city—which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified. [SUP]9 [/SUP]For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. [SUP]10 [/SUP]The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
What about the two witnesses? It is obvious no one will believe them either. Just a thought
