Revelation 11:7

Revelation 11:7

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.

Revelation 11:6 These have power, etc. In seeking for the two witnesses we must find agencies which can save life and can destroy it, can shut the heavens and open them, can prevent blessings from descending upon the earth, can inflict curses and plagues on the inhabitants of the earth. The witnesses have supernatural powers.
