These are the 4 two olive trees, and the two candlesticks that stand before the Lord of the earth. And if any 5 man wisheth to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devoureth their enemies: and if any man wisheth to hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have authority to shut 6 heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy and they have authority over the waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they will.

And when they shall have finished their testi- 7 mony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war with them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead 8 body shall lie in the broad way of the great city,
