On Revelation 11.4: These
are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing in the light of the
Lord of the earth.
23. Those two illustrious
preachers were taken away but not before their deaths were delayed, so that
they might be brought back at the end to deliver useful preaching. About them
it is said by John: These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing
in the sight of the Lord of the earth (Rv 11.4). One of them is promised in
the Gospel through the Truth himself, saying, “Elijah is to come, and he will
restore all things.” (Gregory the Great, Moralia 9.8 [9], 43-48, as found
in “Testimonies of Gregory the Great on the Apocalypse,” in Cassiodorus, St.
Gregory the Great, and Anonymous Greek Scholia: Writings on the Apocalypse [trans.
Mark DelCogliano; The Fathers of the Church 144; Washington, D. C.: The
Catholic University of America Press, 2022], 64)
