All praises to Ahayah Bahasham Yashaya Wa Raach!
——
The 2 witnesses are not 2 people
First of all this is silly to even debate, but let's see if your claim that the two witnesses are not people is true:
=======================================
3And I will empower my
two witnesses, and
they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
5If anyone wants to harm
them, fire proceeds from
their mouths and devours
their enemies. In this way, anyone who wants to harm
them must be killed.
6These witnesses have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophecy, and power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.
7When the
two witnesses have finished
their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and
kill them. 8Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified.
9For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations
will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb.
10And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them, and will celebrate and send each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.
11But after the three and a half days, the breath of
life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them.
12And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them.
==========================================

their enemies

their Lord was also crucified.
V9 - For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view

these two prophets had tormented
them.
V10 - And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over
them, and will celebrate and send each other gifts, because
these two prophets had tormented them.
V11 - But after the three and a half days, the breath of

Personal pronouns are pronouns that are associated primarily with a particular grammatical person. In this case them, their and they, is referring to the two witnesses as persons.
In v.3 the two witnesses are said to prophesy for 1260 days which would mean that they are prophets, i.e. men
In further support of them being individuals they are referred as two witnesses in verses 3, 4, 6, 7, 11, 12
In v.5 The two witnesses are also said to have mouths from which fire proceeds to kill their enemies
In v.7 it is stated that the beast that comes up out of the Abyss will kill the two witnesses which would demonstrate that they are alive and are therefore human beings.
V.8 states that
the bodies of the two witnesses will lie in the streets of Jerusalem and
will not allowed to be put in a tomb, which would also demonstrate that they are human beings by the use of the word "bodies" and "tomb."
Verse 11 states that after lying in the streets for 3 1/2 days, God will breath life in them and they will resurrect and ascend into heaven, which again would demonstrate that these two witnesses are human beings.
Do you still believe that they are not people?
