Their<n id="1" /> corpses will lie in the street<n id="2" /> of the great city that is symbolically<n id="3" /> called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was also crucified.

He<n id="1" /> opened the shaft of the abyss and smoke rose out of it<n id="2" /> like smoke from a giant furnace. The<n id="3" /> sun and the air were darkened with smoke from the shaft.

Then<n id="1" /> they<n id="2" /> heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them: &#8220;Come up here!&#8221; So the two prophets<n id="3" /> went up to heaven in a cloud while<n id="4" /> their enemies stared at them.

I also heard a sound<n id="1" /> coming out of heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. Now<n id="2" /> the sound I heard was like that made by harpists playing their harps,

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I heard a loud voice from the temple declaring to the seven angels: &#8220;Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God&#8217;s wrath.&#8221;<n id="2" />

For they are the spirits of the demons performing signs who go out to the kings of the earth<n id="1" /> to bring them together for the battle that will take place on the great day of God, the All-Powerful.<n id="2" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke to me.<n id="2" /> &#8220;Come,&#8221; he said, &#8220;I will show you the condemnation and punishment<n id="3" /> of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: &#8220;Look! The residence<n id="1" /> of God is among human beings.<n id="2" /> He<n id="3" /> will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them.<n id="4" />

So<n id="1" /> I said to him, &#8220;My lord, you know the answer.&#8221;<n id="2" /> Then<n id="3" /> he said to me, &#8220;These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation. They<n id="4" /> have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb!
