From the Book of Revelation    165 
kings.'   (Rev 10:11). These events, which will occur a long time after the 
sixth trumpet and a short time before the seventh trumpet, include a time of 
great suffering for the Church. 
The 3  Years (Rev 11:1 3) 
      `...and they will trample over the holy city for forty two months. And I 
will grant my two witnesses power to prophesy for one thousand two 
hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.'   (Rev 11:2 3). 
    This is the time of the Church's Crucifixion, the last half of the nearly 
seven years of the Church's great suffering. This time is described by Daniel 
as  half of the week of years  (Dan 9:27), meaning half of a week of years; 
and also described as  a time, and times, and half a time  (Dan 7:25). This 
1260 days is included in the 1290 days of desolation mentioned by Daniel 
(Dan 12:11). The additional 30 days of events occur after the two prophets 
have finished their prophesying. 
    These two witnesses are the two prophets of the book of Revelation, who 
were preceded and foreshadowed by Moses and Aaron. The plagues which 
Moses and Aaron brought upon Egypt were like the plagues which these 
two prophets will send upon the earth. Their prophesying will begin in the 
mid A.D. 2430's, according to the current (Gregorian) Christian calendar. 
    These two prophets will have power to prophesy during the last half of the 
nearly  seven years that Antichrist will rule over almost the whole world. 
When Antichrist decides to intensify his persecution of Christians and the 
Faith, about midway through his reign, then God will send the two prophets 
to strengthen, console, and guide the faithful during this, the darkest of 
times. 
The Plagues of the Two Prophets (Rev 11:4 6) 
     They have power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of 
their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into 
blood, and to  smite the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.  
(Rev 11:6). 
    There will be an extensive drought and an associated famine during the 
time of the two prophets, which is the time of the Church's Crucifixion. This 
drought was foreshadowed by the drought which was brought upon Israel 
by the prophet Elijah (Luke 4:25; 1 Kings 17:1; 18:1).  Elijah was a man of 
like nature with ourselves and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and 
for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth.  (James 5:17 18). 
Elijah's drought was a living prophecy of the 3  years of the Church's 
greatest suffering. The famine of this time period coincides with the loss of
