The argument
Their 1,260-day testimony, authority, death, public exposure, resurrection, and ascent form a defined prophetic event. The signs recall Moses and Elijah without requiring those exact historical persons or proving a connection to any current claimant.
Why it matters
Distinguishing witness streams prevents one daring thesis from absorbing every prophetic figure into itself.
What this teaching does not claim
No start date is claimed. Muhammad as a possible Moses-like witness belongs in the Research Laboratory, not in the central confession.
