Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies for three-and-a-half days, and not allow their bodies to be put in graves. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one and other, 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 a great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.
Consideration: Those who stand firm in faith and proclaim the power and glory of God may have much to suffer, even unto death. But God will raise them up and they will praise Him in the glory of heaven for all eternity.
Father, bless us with the courage to stand firm through all the adversities and trials of this life so that we will one day be called home to be with you for all eternity.
