TRANSCRIPT

“And I will give power to my two witnesses,

and they will prophesy one thousand two

hundred and sixty days, clothed in

sackcloth.”

“One witness shall not rise against a man

concerning any iniquity or any sin that he

commits; by the mouth of two or three

witnesses the matter shall be established.”

But if they will not listen, take one or two

others along, so that ‘every matter may be

established by the testimony of two or three

witnesses.’

7 And He called the twelve to Himself, and

began to send them out two by two, and

gave them power over unclean spirits.

After these things the Lord appointed

seventy others also, and sent them two by

two before His face into every city and

place where He Himself was about to go.

“He shall judge the world in righteousness,

and He shall administer judgment for the

peoples in uprightness.”

These are the two olive trees and the two

lampstands standing before the God of the

earth.

And those who dwell on the earth will

rejoice over them, make merry, and send

gifts to one another, because these two

prophets tormented those who dwell on the

earth.

2 And he said to me, “What do you see?”

So I said, “I am looking, and there is a

lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top

of it, and on the stand seven lamps with

seven pipes to the seven lamps.

3 Two olive trees are by it, one at the right

of the bowl and the other at its left.” 4 So I

answered and spoke to the angel who

talked with me, saying, “What are these,

my lord?”

So he said, “These are the two anointed

ones, who stand beside the Lord of the

whole earth.”

38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth

with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he

went around doing good and healing all

who were under the power of the devil,

because God was with him.

“While you have the light, believe in the

light, that you may become sons of light.”

Neither do people light a lamp and put it

under a bowl. Instead they put it on its

stand, and it gives light to everyone in the

house.

And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of

Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD God of

Israel lives, before whom I stand, there

shall not be dew nor rain these years,

except at my word."

“And if anyone wants to harm them, fire

proceeds from their mouth and devours

their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm

them, he must be killed in this manner.

29 If these men die naturally like all men,

or if they are visited by the common fate of

all men, then the Lord has not sent me.

30 But if the Lord creates a new thing, and

the earth opens its mouth and swallows

them up with all that belongs to them, and

they go down alive into the pit, then you will

understand that these men have rejected

the Lord.”

31 Now it came to pass, as he finished

speaking all these words, that the ground

split apart under them,

32 and the earth opened its mouth and

swallowed them up, with their households

and all the men with Korah, with all their

goods.

33 So they and all those with them went

down alive into the pit; the earth closed

over them, and they perished from among

the assembly.

34 Then all Israel who were around them

fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the

earth swallow us up also!”

35 And a fire came out from the Lord and

consumed the two hundred and fifty men

who were offering incense.

1 Moab rebelled against Israel after the

death of Ahab.

10 So Elijah answered and said to the

captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, then

let fire come down from heaven and

consume you and your fifty men.” And fire

came down from heaven and consumed

him and his fifty.

Therefore thus says the LORD God of

hosts: "Because you speak this word,

behold, I will make My words in your mouth

fire, and this people wood, and it shall

devour them."

“These have power to shut heaven, so that

no rain falls in the days of their prophecy;

and they have power over waters to turn

them to blood, and to strike the earth with

all plagues, as often as they desire.”

17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours,

and he prayed earnestly that it would not

rain; and it did not rain on the land for three

years and six months.

17 Thus says the Lord: “By this you shall

know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike

the waters which are in the river with the

rod that is in my hand, and they shall be

turned to blood.

7 When they finish their testimony, the

beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit

will make war against them, overcome

them, and kill them.

8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street

of the great city which spiritually is called

Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord

was crucified.

9 Then those from the peoples, tribes,

tongues, and nations will see their dead

bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow

their dead bodies to be put into graves.

10 And those who dwell on the earth will

rejoice over them, make merry, and send

gifts to one another, because these two

prophets tormented those who dwell on the

earth.

“Now after the three-and-a-half days the

breath of life from God entered them, and

they stood on their feet, and great fear fell

on those who saw them.”

The nations were angry, and Your wrath

has come, And the time of the dead, that

they should be judged, And that You

should reward Your servants the prophets

and the saints,

And those who fear Your name, small and

great, And should destroy those who

destroy the earth.”

4 The woman was arrayed in purple and

scarlet, and adorned with gold and

precious stones and pearls, having in her

hand a golden cup full of abominations and

the filthiness of her fornication.

So he answered and said to me:

“This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:

‘Not by might nor by power, but by My

Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.' So

we may boldly say, 'The LORD is my

helper; I will not fear. What can man do to

me?”
