Moses Has Been Resurrected and Is In Heaven With Elijah Waiting For That Moment.

It has long been a theory that the Two Witnesses in Revelation would be Elijah and Moses. This is based on their powers listed in Revelation 11. (https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/rev/11/3/s_1178003)  But, I know I had some issues with this for the longest time, because Moses is dead and buried somewhere.  And, I'm not the only one, with quite a few other people suggesting the other Witness is Enoch.  

Moses is dead, isn't he?  Or is he?  Maybe he's been resurrected.  After all, according to Mathew 27: 51-53 (https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/mat/27/1/s_956001) the graves of the saints were opened up at the time of the earthquake from the cross, and after Jesus's resurrection, the bodies of the saints rose and appeared to a lot of people.  Dr. Barry Awe suggests that their entering the Holy City, isn't the earthly Jerusalem, but the Heavenly one.  This would back up the notion that those dead saints were translated to Heaven with Jesus during his ascension.  

But, even if Moses was resurrected, the two Witnesses are fated to be killed by the Beast at the end of 1260 days of prophesying.  And, 'It is appointed once for a man to die, and then the judgement' according to Hebrews 9:27.
 
So, it wouldn't be right for Moses to face death a second time. 

Well, what about the other people resurrected while Jesus was still alive?  The dead boy to the mother?  Lazarus?  The child of the Centurion?  Were they translated into Heaven at Jesus's ascension?  That is unclear.  They might not be considered saints, for one.  And, it's easy to assume they lived out their lives to die once again. 

How about the experiences of those who died on an operating table, or in bed, or where ever, then were brought back to life?  Some of those people have passed on again.  I can't cite any examples without any deep diving research.  However, if you can find one, then we have precedence that it's possible to die more than once.  And, having been dead, it might not be that hard for Moses to do it a second time, knowing what waits for him after faithful service to the Father. 

So, maybe there is something to the idea that Moses is the other witness.  And, right now, he's up there with the other elders, including Elijah and Enoch who haven't tasted death.
