What will happen to the two witnesses after they are killed?
After being killed, the two witnesses are suddenly made alive, hear a great voice from heaven saying, “Come up hither,” and ascend out of the midst of Jerusalem. The whole world witnesses their ascension, as if on camera, and at that same hour a great earthquake occurs.
Les explains that after the two witnesses are put to death, they are suddenly made alive and then ascend right out of the midst of Jerusalem. Verse 12 records that they hear a great voice from heaven saying, “Come up hither,” and they ascended. Unlike earlier generations who wondered how the whole world could see two dead bodies lying in the streets of Jerusalem, Les says it will now be shown on every five-thirty news broadcast. The whole world will witness them ascend in view of the cameras. Les teaches this will shake people up because these are tribulation days, a time of the miraculous and supernatural, and God is not going to hide it in the slightest. Then, in the same hour, there is a great earthquake, and this is the midpoint of the tribulation.
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
