Revelation 11:9

Read in context

Revelation 11:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them.

8 Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified.

9 For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb.

10 And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them, and will celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.

11 But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them.
