The Two Witnesses Prophesy

3

“Also I will give power to my two witnesses; and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.”

4

These are the two olive trees and the two menorahs standing before the Lord of the earth.

5

If anyone tries to do them harm, fire comes out of their mouth and consumes their enemies — yes, if anyone tries to harm them, that is how he must die.

6

They have the authority to shut up the sky, so that no rain falls during the period of their prophesying; also they have the authority to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

7

When they finish their witnessing, the beast coming up out of the Abyss will fight against them, overcome them and kill them;

8

and their dead bodies will lie in the main street of the great city whose name, to reflect its spiritual condition, is “S’dom” and “Egypt” — the city where their Lord was executed on a stake.

9

Some from the nations, tribes, languages and peoples see their bodies for three-and-a-half days and do not permit the corpses to be placed in a tomb.

10

The people living in the Land rejoice over them, they celebrate and send each other gifts, because these two prophets tormented them so.

11

But after the three-and-a-half days a breath of life from God entered them, they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.

12

Then the two heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up into heaven in a cloud, while their enemies watched them.

13

In that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were awestruck and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14

The second woe has passed; see, the third woe is coming quickly
