Revelation 11:10
Compare all
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.  
13 In the same hour athere was a great earthquake, band a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid cand gave glory to the God of heaven.  
14 aThe second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.  

Seventh Trumpet: The Kingdom Proclaimed

15 Then athe seventh angel sounded: bAnd there were loud voices in heaven, saying, c“The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, dand He shall reign forever and ever!”

Revelation 11:10

they that dwell upon . . . earth—those who belong to the earth, as its citizens, not to heaven (Revelation 3:10; Revelation 8:13; Revelation 12:12; Revelation 13:8).

shall—so Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic. But A, B, and C read the present tense; compare Note, see on Revelation 11:9, on "shall not suffer."

rejoice over them—The Antichristianity of the last days shall probably be under the name of philosophical enlightenment and civilization, but really man's deification of himself. Fanaticism shall lead Antichrist's followers to exult in having at last seemingly silenced in death their Christian rebukers. Like her Lord, the Church will have her dark passion week followed by the bright resurrection morn. It is a curious historical coincidence that, at the fifth Lateran Council, May 5, 1514, no witness (not even the Moravians who were summoned) testified for the truth, as HUSS and JEROME did at Constance; an orator ascended the tribunal before the representatives of papal Christendom, and said, "There is no reclaimant, no opponent." LUTHER, on October 31, 1517, exactly three and a half years afterwards, posted up his famous theses on the church at Wittenberg. The objection is, the years are years of three hundred sixty-five, not three hundred sixty, days, and so two and a half days are deficient; but still the coincidence is curious; and if this prophecy be allowed other fulfilments, besides the final and literal one under the last Antichrist, this may reasonably be regarded as one.

send gifts one to another—as was usual at a joyous festival.

tormented them—namely, with the plagues which they had power to inflict (Revelation 11:5-6); also, by their testimony against the earthly.
