wo witnesses, and they shall
prophesy twelve hundred and sixty days [three years and a half] clothed
with sackcloth. [11:4]These are the two olive trees, and the two lamps,
which stand before the Lord of the earth. [11:5]And if any one will
injure them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their
adversaries; and if any one will injure them, he must thus be killed.
[11:6]These have power to shut heaven, that it may not rain in the days
of their prophecy, and they have power over the waters to turn them
into blood and to smite the earth with every plague as often as they
will.
5 [11:7]And when they shall finish their testimony, the beast which
ascends from the abyss shall make war with them, and conquer them, and
kill them. [11:8] And their dead bodies shall lie in the streets of the
great city, which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where also

and seven thousand men were killed by the earthquake, and the rest were
terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. [11:14]The second woe
has passed; behold, the third woe comes quickly.
CHAPTER VII.
THE SEVENTH TRUMPET, THE WOMAN, THE DRAGON AND THE BEASTS.
1 [11:15]AND the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in
heaven, saying, the kingdom of the world has become our Lord's and his
Christ's, and he shall reign forever and ever. [11:16]And the
twenty-four elders who sit before God on their thrones fell on their
faces, and worshipped God, [11:17]saying, We thank thee, Lord God
Almighty, the Is and the Was, that thou didst take thy great power and
reign, [11:18]and the nations were angry, and thy wrath came, and the
time of the dead to be judged and to give the reward to thy servants
