Revelation 11:7-19
When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the
bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them, and
their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that is
prophetically called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
For three and a half days members of the peoples and tribes and languages
and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be
placed in a tomb; and the inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them
and celebrate and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a
torment to the inhabitants of the earth.
But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered
them, and they stood on their feet, and those who saw them were terrified.
Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here!"
And they went up to heaven in a cloud while their enemies watched them.
At that moment there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell;
seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were
terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
The second woe has passed. The third woe is coming very soon.
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in
heaven, saying,
"The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord
and of his Messiah,
and he will reign forever and ever."
Then the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on
their faces and worshiped God, singing,
"We give you thanks, Lord God Almighty,
who are and who were,
for you have taken your great power
and begun to reign.
The nations raged,
but your wrath has come,
and the time for judging the dead,
for rewarding your servants, the prophets
and saints and all who fear your name,
both small and great,
and for destroying those who destroy the earth."
Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was
seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, rumblings,
peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.
