Revelation 11:11 → Ezekiel 37:5, 10

The resurrection of the two witnesses — "the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet" (pneuma zōēs ek tou theou eisēlthen en autois kai estēsan epi tous podas autōn) — closely echoes Ezekiel 37:10: "the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet" (vatavo' vahem haruah vayyihyu vayyā'amdu 'al raglēhem). Ezekiel's dry bones vision depicted the national restoration of Israel from exile — a corporate "resurrection" from the death of Babylonian captivity. John applies this resurrection imagery to the two witnesses whose death and vindication represent the church's testimony: killed by the beast yet raised by God's Spirit. The sequence of death-exposure-resurrection-ascension mirrors Christ's own pattern (crucifixion, burial, resurrection, ascension), suggesting that the faithful church participates in Christ's redemptive narrative. The "great fear" that falls on observers echoes Ezekiel 37:14's promise that the nations will know that YHWH has acted. The method is NT reference by allusion, not typology: Ezekiel 37:1-14 is a reported vision — symbolic revelation, not a historical event — and so cannot supply the historicity a type requires; John takes up the vision's breath-of-life vocabulary as the canon's apocalyptic language for the Spirit who gives life, now applied to the witnesses' vindication.
