The two Witnesses of Revelation are given the power of Prophecy and they prophesy for 3 1/2 years before bing killed. For 3 days their bodies lie in the streets until God ressurects them and then they ascend into heaven. The names of these to Prophets are not given in Revelation, however there are several views on who they may be.

Christians believe that the two prophets of Revelation (witnesses) will be Enoch and Elijah as (according to The Bible) neither of them saw death.

2 Kings 2:1 tells us that Elijah was taken by God in a whirlwind to heaven and that he does not see death.

Hebrews 5:11 tells us that Enoch was "translated by God so that he should not see death"

The reason it is beleived by Christians that the two Witnesses of Revelation will be Enoch and Elijah is rather simple. The Bible tells us that "it is appointed unto man to once die.." Since neither Enoch or Elijah saw "death" it is believed that God will retun them to the earth to Prophesy for 3 1/2 years until they are killed, ressurected, and ascended back into heaven to fulfill the law of man's apointment with death.
