Revelation 11:7-14

Christian Standard Bible

The Witnesses Martyred

⁷ When they finish their testimony, the beast^(A) that comes up out of the abyss^(B) will make war on them, conquer them, and kill them. ⁸ Their dead bodies^[a](C) will lie in the main street^[b] of the great city,^(D) which figuratively^[c] is called Sodom^(E) and Egypt,^(F) where also their Lord was crucified. ⁹ And some of^[d] the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations^(G) will view their bodies for three and a half days and not permit their bodies to be put into a tomb.^{(H) 10} Those who live on the earth will gloat^(I) over them and celebrate and send gifts to one another because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

The Witnesses Resurrected

¹¹ But after three and a half days, the breath^[e] of life^(J) from God entered them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them. ¹² Then they heard^[f] a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” They went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies watched them.^{(K) 13} At that moment a violent earthquake took place,^(L) a tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake. The survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

¹⁴ The second woe^(M) has passed. Take note: The third woe is coming soon!
