The Witnesses Killed and Raised

7 When [the two witnesses] have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them. 8 Their bodies [will lie] in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified. 9 For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit [them] to be laid in a tomb. 10 And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented [them].

11 [But] after the three and a half days, [the] breath of life from God entered [the two witnesses], and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them. 12 And [the witnesses] heard a loud voice from heaven saying “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud [as] their enemies watched them.

13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand were killed in the quake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming shortly.
