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.
