Here were some comments that I thought needed to be re-posted because they contain a few gems. I occasionally will go back and review the comments on pieces that get a lot of attention. This was one of them.
Gotta love the subtlety of Isaiah in the Book of Mormon. I think this commenter nailed it down. I have never picked that one up before - but in this context, I think there is little to debate about.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this blog series, but have to disagree with your thoughts on the two prophets being LDS General Authorities. These prophets will come from the House of Israel and be recognized as one of their faith, who God will raise up among them.Reply

No doubt they will be members of the Council of the Twelve or of the First Presidency of the Church. Their prophetic ministry to rebellious Jewry shall be the same in length as was our Lord’s personal ministry among their rebellious forebears.
“The two olive trees, and the two candlesticks [are] symbols of the two witnesses; meaning, perhaps, that as olive trees, they shall provide oil for the lamps of those who go forth to meet the Bridegroom; … and that as lamp stands they shall reflect to men that light which comes from Him who is the Light of the World.” (Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 3:509–10.)
