3 And I will give power to my two awitnesses, band they will prophesy cone thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 These are the atwo olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the1 God of the earth.
5 And if anyone wants to harm them, afire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. bAnd if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner.
6 These ahave power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.
The Witnesses Killed
7 When they afinish their testimony, bthe beast that ascends cout of the bottomless pit dwill make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of athe great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, bwhere also our Lord was crucified.
9 aThen those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations1 will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, band not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.
10 aAnd those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, band send gifts to one another, cbecause these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
The Witnesses Resurrected
11 aNow after the three-and-a-half days bthe breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
12 And1 they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” aAnd they ascended to heaven bin a cloud, cand their enemies saw them.
