Revelation 11

* The Two Witnesses

- Who are the two witnesses, how many days will they prophesy?

1. My two witnesses will wear sackcloth,[a] while I let them preach for one thousand two hundred sixty days.

Verse 4 These two witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand in the presence of the Lord who rules the earth.

- What kind of power will they have and what will they be able to do?

2. Any enemy who tries to harm them will be destroyed by the fire that comes out of their mouths. 6 They have the power to lock up the sky and to keep rain from falling while they are prophesying. And whenever they want to, they can turn water to blood and cause all kinds of terrible troubles on earth.

- What will happen to anyone who tries to harm them?

3. After the two witnesses have finished preaching God's message, the beast that lives in the deep pit will come up and fight against them. It will win the battle and kill them. 8 Their bodies will be left lying in the streets of the same great city where their Lord was nailed to a cross. And that city is spiritually like the city of Sodom or the country of Egypt.

- Who was able to kill them after their testimony?

4. The beast that lives the deep pit

- What happen after 31/2 days?

5. At that same moment there was a terrible earthquake that destroyed a tenth of the city. Seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were frightened and praised the God who rules in heaven.

14 The second horrible thing has now happened! But the third one will be here soon.

- Read verse 9, in your opinion, is this event possible now in our time? Why or why not?

6. I think yes... [Reference: 

For three and a half days the people of every nation, tribe, language, and race will stare at the bodies of these two witnesses and refuse to let them be buried. 10 Everyone on earth will celebrate and be happy. They will give gifts to each other, because of what happened to the two prophets who caused them so much trouble. 11 But three and a half days later, God will breathe life into their bodies. They will stand up, and everyone who sees them will be terrified.]

* The Seventh Trumpet

- What happen when the the seventh trumpet was sounded? Give a short summary?

7. A. loud voices were heard in heaven. They said,

"Now the kingdom of this world belongs to our Lord

    and to his Chosen One! And he will rule forever and ever!"

B.  twenty-four elders, who were seated on thrones in God's presence, knelt down and worshiped him

What Lesson did you learn today?

C. The door to God's temple in heaven was then opened, and the sacred chest[b] could be seen inside the temple. I saw lightning and heard roars of thunder. The earth trembled and huge hailstones fell to the ground.
