My guess is that they will be members of the Quorum of the 12 or of another lesser Quorum - but most likely High Priests. My guess is that they will have power as Moses or Elijah had - power over heaven and earth. I pointed out in this conversation, that the plagues that afflicted the wicked Egyptians (and the son of Cain who was leading them in that day.....), of a nearly identical nature will afflict us. In fact, if the Mp is correct, that red dust will be forthcoming by the end of this year. The famine and lack of water caused by it will be devastating. My guess is that the dust will be laid down by some sort of body passing thru our atmosphere. So, the parallels to our day are pretty striking.
One thing those two (who are at least my age - previous blog post) may be sporting in their morbid ministry to stay the hands of the wicked as they assault God's chosen people in Jerusalem, is the original staff that Moses used in many of his miracles.
So far as I understand it, the Church is in possession of that very staff or a portion of it. It may well be over in Israel on assignment with the two who are there now possibly for their future roles (previous blog post on identities). What a calling, don't you think?
Here is a previous original blog piece that I did on it. The information that I came across to put it together came together serendipitously, so I am putting it back out there for perusal. When miracles happen, I like to get the most mileage out of them that I possibly can.

THE ROD OF AARON AND THE SALT LAKE TEMPLE
I was just reading in D&C 77 this morning and expect that those two prophets will be of Hebrew origin (most likely similar to Orson Hyde - of Jewish descent, but having the Holy Priesthood):
I have to wonder if they will carry this Rod of Aaron (or Gift of Aaron) as they stay the telestial powers who have set about Jerusalem. I think there will be more to their actions than simply faith, prayer and power in the Priesthood. If the people of that background are to believe, it sure would help to have a little religious iconery to help the process along.
15 Q. What is to be understood by the two witnesses, in the eleventh chapter of Revelation?A. They are two prophets that are to be raised up to the Jewish nation in the last days, at the time of the restoration, and to prophesy to the Jews after they are gathered and have built the city of Jerusalem in the land of their fathers.
There is alot of background on this Rod of Aaron - it started out as a branch from the Tree of Life and has worked its way through all the Patriarchs and down to Jesus' day. This passing along of things of a religious nature is very similar to the Garment of the Holy Priesthood which was fashioned by God after The Fall and that Adam wore; and the same one which Ham attempted to remove from Noah's body after he had passed out from a little too much vino after the Great Flood. This Rod of Aaron was purported to be from an almond tree and could be in all three stages of the cycle at any given time: buds, blossom, flowers and fruit.
Jesus had a rod and this Rod (or a start from it when it budded) purportedly ended up in England via Joseph of Arimathea (rich uncle of Jesus). Here is the story that I was reading earlier today:

And to tie this all together - Brigham Young had a rod (or some portion of it in the form of a cane) when he struck the ground and declared that the SL Temple would be built in that spot (please see my previous piece on how significant it is that it was built where it was - such that it will endure the great shaking which is coming (previous blog post on temple being built atop 1000 foot tall granite plug rising through the alluvial muck):
An interesting notation in Anthon H. Lund's Journal for July 5,1901 states:
"in the revelation to Oliver Cowdery in May 1829, Bro. [B. H.] Roberts said that the gift which the Lord says he has in his hand meant a stick which was like Aaron's Rod. It is said Bro. Phineas Young [brother-in-law of Oliver Cowdery and brother of Brigham Young] got it from him [Cowdery] and gave it to President Young who had it with him when he arrived in this [Salt Lake] valley and that it was with that stick that he pointed out where the Temple should be built."Folks - we are in for some interesting times directly ahead! Wood you believe it?? I would! Buckle up!!
