Well you said 3 days not 3 1/2 days
Here it is again who destroys who and who put them up to it but I did post it to you already
Revelation 17:16-17
16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until God’s words are fulfilled.
Im asking yes or no questions because they are biblical facts which prove your view wrong about them being the same battle. If you answer them honestly you will see that.
The prostitute is not the Babylonian Kingdom set up by Satan. What is destroyed is any false religion that has been in bed with Satan, instead of serving the true God.
"And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."
This is religion pulling the "governmental strings", thinking they are serving God, but serving Satan, instead. Religion has many faces and titles. During Satan's 42 months this woman is of a singular nature. These 4 chapters put into context the nature of these 42 months granted in Revelation 13:4-7
"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;
and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations."
By the end of these 42 months, religion will be gone. Think of it as a rider on a horse, and the horse finally throws off the rider, and is free from that control. The ten kingdoms have been struggling for control the 42 months. When they finally have it, they are killed at Armageddon. People will have the mark, and only serving Satan. The Lamb destroys these 10 kings who reign with Satan's Babylonian Kingdom the one hour of Armageddon.
As for those two witnesses, they lay dead for 3.5 days, but the vials are only poured out the first 3 days. The last amount of time is for whoever is left on earth, being gathered to Armageddon on the same day, the last half day, the 2 witnesses are still dead.
Some claim the 2 witnesses are the church being raptured right before Armageddon. But only 2 individuals. Scripture does not say the church has bodies strewn throughout Jerusalem. Paul does not teach every one will be dead at the Second Coming. He taught some would be alive to see it happen. The last of the redeemed were all beheaded during these 42 months. Then the 2 witnesses, themselves killed, and their bodies left in Jerusalem for 3.5 days.
The Lamb returns to Armageddon and kills the last remaining humans in Revelation 19. There are not 2 returns, one in Revelation 16 and 17, and then one in 18 and 19. All 4 chapters are talking about the same Armageddon moment. The ultimate end of Satan's 42 months.
