D. Kelly Ogden and Andrew C. Skinner in "these two sons" in 2 Nephi 8:19 as a Reference to the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11

  

Isaiah 51:19-20 (2 Nephi 8:19-20)

 

Isaiah 51:19 has “these two things”; the Hebrew simply says “these two.” On the other hand, 2 Nephi 8:19 has “these two sons,” who have the priesthood. These are the two witnesses, the two prophets in Jerusalem at the end of days, the time of Armageddon. John the Revelator also saw these two prophets. (D. Kelly Ogden and Andrew C. Skinner, The Old Testament Verse By Verse, 2 vols. [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 2013], 2:284)
