God gives the 2 men, God`s Witnesses, Moses and Elijah great power. This is the same power He gave them when they were on earth previously.

` If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies.
And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner.
These have 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.....`
(Rev. 11: 3 – 6)



Just before the 1260 days, (3 ½ years) the 2 witnesses are overcome by Satan and their dead bodies lie in Jerusalem for 3 ½ days.
`When they finish their testimony,
the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them,
overcome them, and kill them.
And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city
which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.`
(Rev. 11: 7 & 8)



People from all over the world will be able to see their dead bodies (through the use of technology). They will rejoice because the 2 prophets tormented them..

`Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues & nations
will see their dead bodies three and a half days,
and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.
And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them,
make merry, and send gifts to one another,
because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.`
(Rev. 11: 9 & 10)



However, after 3 ½ days the 2 Witnesses come alive and ascend into heaven, in the presence of their enemies.


`Now after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them,
and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.”
And they ascended to heaven in a cloud & their enemies saw them.`
(Rev. 11: 11 & 12)



In that very hour God caused a great earthquake and a tenth of Jerusalem fell, killing seven thousand people. People were afraid and realised that they were under God`s judgment.

`In the same hour there was a great earthquake,
and a tenth of the city fell.
In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed,
and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.


The second woe is past. Behold the third woe is coming quickly.`
` (Rev. 11: 13 & 14)
