11:3 And I will grant my two witnesses authority 1  to prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth. 11:4 (These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.) 2  11:5 If 3  anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths 4  and completely consumes 5  their enemies. If 6  anyone wants to harm them, they must be killed this way.
