ower to shut up the heaven, that no rain water the earth during 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. (7)And when they shall have finished their testimony, the
beast which ascendeth out of hell shall make war with them, and shall
overcome them, and put them to death. (8)And their corpses shall be
exposed in the streets of the great city, which is called spiritually
Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. (9)And they of the
