3. MOSES AND ELIJAH
Jesus talked about authorities of two olive trees, and clarified that Moses and Elijah were symbolic figures for two olive trees.(Rev 11:6)
Rev 11:6 These men have power to shut up the sky 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.
Miracles of changing water into a blood was what Moses did in the days of the Old Testament, and olive trees would also do these works. It symbolizes, water is blessed and life-giving water is given. Here, blood (life-giving water) means precious blood of Jesus Christ, and it can only be transferred by these two olive trees. For this, the Winner inherits the spring of the water of life and those who are thirsty receive it without cost.
Exo 7:20 Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded. He raised his staff in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was changed into blood.
The miracle "to shut up the sky so it would not rain" happened through prophet Elijah. This rain represents the grace of heaven. Upon the appearance of two olive trees, they become representative of this world or serve the Lord of all the earth and God works through them. It has the same meaning of two olive trees having a plumb line.
1ki 17:1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word."
