THE TWO WITNESSES ARE KILLED

 

7 Now when They have Finished Their Testimony,

The Beast that Comes Up from the Abyss

Will Attack Them,

And Overpower and Kill Them.

8 Their Bodies will Lie in the Public Square

Of the Great City--

Which is Figuratively

Called Sodom and Egypt--

Where Also their Lord was Crucified.

9 For Three and One-half Days

Some from Every People,

Tribe, Language and Nation

Will Gaze on Their Bodies

And Refuse Them Burial.

10 The Inhabitants of the Earth

WILL GLOAT OVER THEM

AND WILL CELEBRATE

By Sending each other Gifts,

Because these Two Prophets

HAD TORMENTED

THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE EARTH.

11 But after the Three and One-half Days

THE BREATH OF LIFE FROM GOD

ENTERED THEM,

And they Stood Up on Their Feet,

AND TERROR STRUCK

THOSE WHO SAW THEM.

12 Then they Heard

A Loud Voice from Heaven

Saying to them,

“COME UP HERE.”

And They went Up to Heaven

In a Cloud,

While their Enemies Looked On.

13 At that Very Hour

There was a Severe Earthquake,

And a Tenth of the City Collapsed.

Seven Thousand People were Killed

In the Earthquake,

AND THE SURVIVORS WERE TERRIFIED

AND GAVE GLORY TO THE GOD OF HEAVEN.

14 The Second Woe has Passed;

The Third Woe is Coming Soon.

(Revelation 11:7-14, NIV)
