"And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth...Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower them and kill them... For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies...The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them..." Rev 11: 3 - 10
