The two witnesses are not arrested.Nor are they persecuted throughout Israel.Their God's witnesses. John was a witness as in the book of Revelation. John was told to eat the scroll and he would prophesy as the witnesses will also prophesy.
I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”
The truth doesn't change and that foundation has been laid. Hence the NT. The two witnesses will be witnesses to that truth not laying another foundation. Like their Lord they will be testifying to the state of evil in the world and the world will hate them. You read what happens to those who try to harm them. They will be greatly opposed but Gods set purpose is 1260 days of testimony before the delusion and lies of the beast enter the world. Sort of a last warning before God's wrath is poured out on those who love to do evil and still refuse to repent and believe God.
God will be with them and they will be inspired by the Holy Spirit in their testimony in their witness.
But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, 20for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Mathew 10:19
But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, 20for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
In this verse,Jesus is speaking to his followers,who will be persecuted from city to city throughout Israel while the two witnesses kill and torment people.
If you had continued reading Mathew 10,you would have known that.
Mathew 10
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
You need to know the difference between being persecuted,and persecuting others.The two witnesses are not being persecuted,they spend 42 months persecuting others.They will not be brought before rulers to be judged as Christ was.
The false prophet with it's two horns will prophesy for 42 months and making fire come down from heaven by simply speaking the word fire.
