This is an interesting thread to me, thanks to the OP'er for posting it.
I think almost everyone agrees that one of the Two Witnesses will be Elijah. Most people suggest either Moses or Enoch as the second witness for the reasons stated above.
I am not settled on who the second witness is, but I think the Apostle John could also be a contender. People who argue in John's favor often site the following:
Joh 21:21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
Joh 21:22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
Joh 21:23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
Interesting to consider that a 2000 year old John is still around somewhere waiting for his time to die in the Trib!
