Topic: Rev. 10-11th Chap.
(These notes will be updated later.)
Zech. 4 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: 3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? …11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? 13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

Interpret Dream: The Plumb Line Dream - January 9-10 2021
Pastor Dana Cornerstone, Brace Yourself
Beginning of the dream starts 3:21
Homework Rules for Those Who Plan To Respond With 5-7 Minute Answers to 3 of 22 questions which can be found at 3-Fold Collaspe of America.
Use scriptures (law, prophets, Isa. 8:20, fulfillment, Matt. 5:17, and the book of Revelation) to verify your interpretation where necessary.
Introduction
In this discussion the signs of the 7th trumpet, in Revelation 10th-11th chapters, must be examined (Rev. 10:7, 11:15). The 6th trumpet begins in Rev. 9:13 and continues on in Rev 10th chapter. Now the sixth trumpet is the second woe of the three woes mentioned in Rev. 9:12 and Rev. 11:14. The seventh trumpet is the third woe.
When John had this panoramic vision, it wasn’t revealed to him in chapters and verses. He wrote it according to the continuity of thoughts. These divisions came later when the writers of Revelation divided the book into chapters and verses. So the 10th and 11th chapters of Revelation are apart of the sixth trumpet, which is where the seventh trumpet sounds.
The sixth angel began to sound in the 9th chapter. The ending signs were the angels of Yahweh taking flaming vengeance on men who didn’t have the seal of Yahweh.
_________________________________
Chapter 10
Now John writes:
Rev. 10:1 “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:”
John is seeing the mighty angel who is Elohim or the Word come down from heaven clothed in clouds, which symbolically represents spirit. For Yahweh said to Moses that He would appear in a cloud between the wings of cherubim of the ark of the covenant (Lev. 16:2).
Here John describes Elohim’s spirit form of a man as Daniel also described Him (Dan. 10:5-6) and Matthew did in Matthew 17th chapter (Also see Exo. 24:9-10). By the tabernacle pattern, Elohim's face and head compares to the Most Holy Place of the tabernacle with the Ark of Covenant. This is where the Shekinah flashed on the day of atonement before the high priest. His feet as pillars of fire typifies the brazen altar with fire on it.
Daniel 10:5-6
5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Matt. 17:1-2 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
____________________________________
Rev. 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth.
The mighty angel had an open book that was described in the fifth chapter of Revelation as being sealed. It’s now open because “the lamb as it had been slain” and “the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David” opened the book in Rev. 6th chap.
Rev. 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
__________________________________
Rev. 10:3-4 3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
This Angel that John saw was Elohim replaying the beginning of creation in Moses’ vision where he saw “... the Spirit of Elohim move upon the face of the waters.” (Gn. 1:2).
John is speaking of the spirit moving on the deep. The spirit spoke in the creation in six days and rested on the seventh. John saw the Angel (Elohim) speak in the 7 thunders, which were the days of creation that Moses wrote of. The Angel told John not to write it for Moses had already written it in Genesis.
As stated earlier, the seven thunders were days of creation. Dr. Henry C Kinley wrote of this in his panoramic vision and revelation in 1931 in his book, Elohim the Archetype Pattern of the Universe, Vol 1, p. 71.
___________________________________
Rev. 10:5-7 “And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:” “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.”
There is no more time because the mystery of Yahweh has been finished. “Time no longer” means that Elohim has fulfilled His purpose with His death, burial and Resurrection and outpouring of the Holy Spirit. There is now no time to wait for the resurrection. You are either resurrected now while you are alive or damned for eternity. The time of waiting ended for those souls that had already resurrected with Yahshua the Messiah on the day of His resurrection. Matt 27:52-53
____________________________________
Revelation 10:8-10
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Here John is eating the book spiritually. It is sweet in his mouth as honey meaning within his spirit or soul it was good. However, it was bitter to his belly or it was hard for his fleshly rational mind to accept.
_________________________________
Rev. 11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”
This is the same commandment that the Messiah gave His disciples in Matthew 28:19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
______________________________
Chapter 11
Rev. 11:1 “And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
This reed symbolically represents the tabernacle pattern which was the divine measuring rod for all things. You could measure the altar and them that would be in it. More than likely this is the brazen altar in the court right about another golden altar in the holy place.
__________________________________
Rev. 11:2. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
In Herod’s temple at the time of Yahshua, there were many courts; court of women, court of men and court of the gentiles. John was told to leave out the court of the Gentiles, for they were not apart of the body of Elohim At that time. Now the gentiles were given 42 months or 1260 years to rule after the Holy Spirit was poured out in A.D. 33 in this present age grace in Jerusalem.
__________________________________
Rev. 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Now the two witnesses are the law and prophets (Isa. 8:20) Old Testament which prophecised of the Messiah’s coming and of the 1260 days or 3 1/2 years of His ministry.
Also, all humans have two physical eyes which confirm that which is seen. The two eyes see as one.
2 Cor. 13:1
“This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” (Matt. 18:16)
________________________________
Rev. 11:4.These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
These two olive trees represents the two archangels over shadowing Elohim’s throne which are represented by two archangels that over shadowed the mercy seat. Zech. 4:2-3. Solomon’s temple had two huge pillars that were 18 cubits in height (1Kings 7:15; Exo. 25:17-22).
____________________________________
Rev. 11:5. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
The two witnesses or olive trees also represent Moses and Aaron in Egypt with plagues. Two angels also delivered Lot and his household and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 19 Chapter).
___________________________________
Rev. 11:6. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
Now this is what Moses and Aaron did in Egypt with the plagues. Elijah the prophet caused it not to rain 1Kgs 17:1 “And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”
____________________________________
Rev. 11:7. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Here are two instances where the beast came out of the bottomless pit when Satan was bound a 1000 years, Rev. 20, which was the 1 day of the Messiah’s Resurrection
1 day = 1,000 years, 2 Pet. 3:8.
After the day of the resurrection Satan was loosed and persecuted the true believers as in the case with Paul (Acts chp 7-8). The leaders of Israel (satanic spirits incarnated in them) made war with Israel by lying on Yahshua Messiah’s resurrection. They told Israel that His disciples came and stole His body away while the guards slept. But the guards came to them and told them an Angel came and rolled the stone away from Yahshua’s tomb. The leaders of Israel bribed the guards to tell this lie that is still believed unto this day (Matt. 28:11-15).
Another instance occurred when Pharaoh and host were cast down in the Red Sea (like a bottomless pit) and their spirits went over and plagues Israel, and caused them to all manners of evil and ignominious behavior (See Elohim Text, Vol. 4, p. 34).
___________________________________
Rev. 11:8. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
The dead bodies is not clear until the vision proceeds on, but the great city is Jerusalem where Yahshua the Messiah was crucified. Using the tabernacle pattern, Jerusalem, Sodom, and Egypt are correlated with the Court Round About where the sacrifices were offered up in the brazen altar (See Elohim Text, Vol. 1, p. 76). And the Messiah was the atoning sacrifice for sin.
_________________________________
Rev. 11:9. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
Here John sees in his vision dead bodies 3 1/2 days that weren’t put into the graves. So we have these bodies 3 1/2 days correlated with the 3 1/2 years of the Messiah life. Again it not clear who are these death bodies. You know from a physical standpoint physical bodies can’t be kept outside for 3 1/2 days without badly decomposing.
___________________________________
Rev. 11:10. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
Now the two prophets aren’t literally two physical men, but the law and prophets, which are pointing to Yahshua the Messiah (John 5:39). The law and prophets did torment those that didn’t believe the prophecy, but as the Messiah said the law and prophets testified of Him to come. The gifts nations will give to one another will be cleared up later in this vision.
___________________________________
Rev. 11:11. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
Now the dead bodies that John is seeing is associated with the 3 1/2 years. They are either those that are physically dead or those that are physically alive, but spiritually dead. Those that resurrected first received the Holy Spirit at the Messiah’s resurrection (Matt. 27:51-53) and 50 days later the disciples in the upper room in Jerusalem received the Holy Spirit (Acts 2).
Here the three and half days are not referring to 3 1/2 literally days, but is a metaphor for the 3 1/2 years of the Messiah’s life in His ministry.
1 day = 1 year prophetically (Num. 14:34)
So after 3 1/2 years of preaching, He was crucified, buried and resurrected the third day.
Those that were physically dead, such as Adam, Noah, Moses, etc., arose from the grave after Yahshua’s resurrection.
__________________________________
Rev. 11:12. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
This is the day of the resurrection, described in Joel 2nd chapter, when many who were physically alive in Jerusalem saw these souls resurrected in a vision and were overcome with fear. And the great voice of Elohim told those resurrected souls to come up into heaven. Clearly, most thought this was the end of the world, Really, it was end of an age.
__________________________________
Rev. 11:13. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Here John is seeing in his vision the earthquake in Jerusalem at the time of Yahshua’s resurrection (Mt. 28:1) and 7,000 were killed and 10th part of the city destroyed. None of the four gospels reported the number of deaths, the fear that fell upon the city, nor the devastation to the city.
__________________________________
Rev. 11:14.The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
So the second woe primary was about the resurrection of Yahshua the Messiah and the sixth trumpet.
__________________________________
Rev. 11:15. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Now remember seven is perfection or as Elohim showed Moses in his vision of creation the Sabbath Day.
Here the seventh trumpet sounded and the kingdom of Yahweh’s son, Yahshua, was established with his resurrection and outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
___________________________________
Rev. 11:16-17. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
Rev. 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
This basically is a great judgment of both the living and the dead, meaning the books were opened (Exodus 32:31-33; Psalm 69:28, Daniel 7:9-10; Rev. 20:12). And the 24 elders worshiping Elohim and giving thanks because he did come into the flesh, made atonement for sin, and resurrected, The Messiah told His disciples that all power was given to Him in heaven and in earth (Matthew 28:18).
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”
Revelation 11:19 KJV
When Yahweh spoke from atop mount Sinai the same signs of lightning, earthquakes, and thunderings followed before he spoke the 10 commandment law (Exo. 19:16-19).

Scripture Lesson: Zech. 4:1-4, 11-14
Topic: Rev. 10-11th Chap.
(These notes will be updated later.)
Zech. 4 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: 3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? …11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? 13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

Interpret Dream: The Plumb Line Dream - January 9-10 2021
Pastor Dana Cornerstone, Brace Yourself
Beginning of the dream starts 3:21
Homework Rules for Those Who Plan To Respond With 5-7 Minute Answers to 3 of 22 questions which can be found at 3-Fold Collaspe of America.
Use scriptures (law, prophets, Isa. 8:20, fulfillment, Matt. 5:17, and the book of Revelation) to verify your interpretation where necessary.
Introduction
In this discussion the signs of the 7th trumpet, in Revelation 10th-11th chapters, must be examined (Rev. 10:7, 11:15). The 6th trumpet begins in Rev. 9:13 and continues on in Rev 10th chapter. Now the sixth trumpet is the second woe of the three woes mentioned in Rev. 9:12 and Rev. 11:14. The seventh trumpet is the third woe.
When John had this panoramic vision, it wasn’t revealed to him in chapters and verses. He wrote it according to the continuity of thoughts. These divisions came later when the writers of Revelation divided the book into chapters and verses. So the 10th and 11th chapters of Revelation are apart of the sixth trumpet, which is where the seventh trumpet sounds.
The sixth angel began to sound in the 9th chapter. The ending signs were the angels of Yahweh taking flaming vengeance on men who didn’t have the seal of Yahweh.
_________________________________
Chapter 10
Now John writes:
Rev. 10:1 “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:”
John is seeing the mighty angel who is Elohim or the Word come down from heaven clothed in clouds, which symbolically represents spirit. For Yahweh said to Moses that He would appear in a cloud between the wings of cherubim of the ark of the covenant (Lev. 16:2).
Here John describes Elohim’s spirit form of a man as Daniel also described Him (Dan. 10:5-6) and Matthew did in Matthew 17th chapter (Also see Exo. 24:9-10). By the tabernacle pattern, Elohim's face and head compares to the Most Holy Place of the tabernacle with the Ark of Covenant. This is where the Shekinah flashed on the day of atonement before the high priest. His feet as pillars of fire typifies the brazen altar with fire on it.
Daniel 10:5-6
5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Matt. 17:1-2 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
____________________________________
Rev. 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth.
The mighty angel had an open book that was described in the fifth chapter of Revelation as being sealed. It’s now open because “the lamb as it had been slain” and “the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David” opened the book in Rev. 6th chap.
Rev. 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
__________________________________
Rev. 10:3-4 3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
This Angel that John saw was Elohim replaying the beginning of creation in Moses’ vision where he saw “... the Spirit of Elohim move upon the face of the waters.” (Gn. 1:2).
John is speaking of the spirit moving on the deep. The spirit spoke in the creation in six days and rested on the seventh. John saw the Angel (Elohim) speak in the 7 thunders, which were the days of creation that Moses wrote of. The Angel told John not to write it for Moses had already written it in Genesis.
As stated earlier, the seven thunders were days of creation. Dr. Henry C Kinley wrote of this in his panoramic vision and revelation in 1931 in his book, Elohim the Archetype Pattern of the Universe, Vol 1, p. 71.
___________________________________
Rev. 10:5-7 “And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:” “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.”
There is no more time because the mystery of Yahweh has been finished. “Time no longer” means that Elohim has fulfilled His purpose with His death, burial and Resurrection and outpouring of the Holy Spirit. There is now no time to wait for the resurrection. You are either resurrected now while you are alive or damned for eternity. The time of waiting ended for those souls that had already resurrected with Yahshua the Messiah on the day of His resurrection. Matt 27:52-53
____________________________________
Revelation 10:8-10
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Here John is eating the book spiritually. It is sweet in his mouth as honey meaning within his spirit or soul it was good. However, it was bitter to his belly or it was hard for his fleshly rational mind to accept.
_________________________________
Rev. 11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”
This is the same commandment that the Messiah gave His disciples in Matthew 28:19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
______________________________
Chapter 11
Rev. 11:1 “And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
This reed symbolically represents the tabernacle pattern which was the divine measuring rod for all things. You could measure the altar and them that would be in it. More than likely this is the brazen altar in the court right about another golden altar in the holy place.
__________________________________
Rev. 11:2. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
In Herod’s temple at the time of Yahshua, there were many courts; court of women, court of men and court of the gentiles. John was told to leave out the court of the Gentiles, for they were not apart of the body of Elohim At that time. Now the gentiles were given 42 months or 1260 years to rule after the Holy Spirit was poured out in A.D. 33 in this present age grace in Jerusalem.
__________________________________
Rev. 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Now the two witnesses are the law and prophets (Isa. 8:20) Old Testament which prophecised of the Messiah’s coming and of the 1260 days or 3 1/2 years of His ministry.
Also, all humans have two physical eyes which confirm that which is seen. The two eyes see as one.
2 Cor. 13:1
“This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” (Matt. 18:16)
________________________________
Rev. 11:4.These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
These two olive trees represents the two archangels over shadowing Elohim’s throne which are represented by two archangels that over shadowed the mercy seat. Zech. 4:2-3. Solomon’s temple had two huge pillars that were 18 cubits in height (1Kings 7:15; Exo. 25:17-22).
____________________________________
Rev. 11:5. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
The two witnesses or olive trees also represent Moses and Aaron in Egypt with plagues. Two angels also delivered Lot and his household and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 19 Chapter).
___________________________________
Rev. 11:6. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
Now this is what Moses and Aaron did in Egypt with the plagues. Elijah the prophet caused it not to rain 1Kgs 17:1 “And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”
____________________________________
Rev. 11:7. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Here are two instances where the beast came out of the bottomless pit when Satan was bound a 1000 years, Rev. 20, which was the 1 day of the Messiah’s Resurrection
1 day = 1,000 years, 2 Pet. 3:8.
After the day of the resurrection Satan was loosed and persecuted the true believers as in the case with Paul (Acts chp 7-8). The leaders of Israel (satanic spirits incarnated in them) made war with Israel by lying on Yahshua Messiah’s resurrection. They told Israel that His disciples came and stole His body away while the guards slept. But the guards came to them and told them an Angel came and rolled the stone away from Yahshua’s tomb. The leaders of Israel bribed the guards to tell this lie that is still believed unto this day (Matt. 28:11-15).
Another instance occurred when Pharaoh and host were cast down in the Red Sea (like a bottomless pit) and their spirits went over and plagues Israel, and caused them to all manners of evil and ignominious behavior (See Elohim Text, Vol. 4, p. 34).
___________________________________
Rev. 11:8. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
The dead bodies is not clear until the vision proceeds on, but the great city is Jerusalem where Yahshua the Messiah was crucified. Using the tabernacle pattern, Jerusalem, Sodom, and Egypt are correlated with the Court Round About where the sacrifices were offered up in the brazen altar (See Elohim Text, Vol. 1, p. 76). And the Messiah was the atoning sacrifice for sin.

Rev. 11:9. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
Here John sees in his vision dead bodies 3 1/2 days that weren’t put into the graves. So we have these bodies 3 1/2 days correlated with the 3 1/2 years of the Messiah life. Again it not clear who are these death bodies. You know from a physical standpoint physical bodies can’t be kept outside for 3 1/2 days without badly decomposing.

Rev. 11:10. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
Now the two prophets aren’t literally two physical men, but the law and prophets, which are pointing to Yahshua the Messiah (John 5:39). The law and prophets did torment those that didn’t believe the prophecy, but as the Messiah said the law and prophets testified of Him to come. The gifts nations will give to one another will be cleared up later in this vision.

Rev. 11:11. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
Now the dead bodies that John is seeing is associated with the 3 1/2 years. They are either those that are physically dead or those that are physically alive, but spiritually dead. Those that resurrected first received the Holy Spirit at the Messiah’s resurrection (Matt. 27:51-53) and 50 days later the disciples in the upper room in Jerusalem received the Holy Spirit (Acts 2).
Here the three and half days are not referring to 3 1/2 literally days, but is a metaphor for the 3 1/2 years of the Messiah’s life in His ministry.
1 day = 1 year prophetically (Num. 14:34)
So after 3 1/2 years of preaching, He was crucified, buried and resurrected the third day.
Those that were physically dead, such as Adam, Noah, Moses, etc., arose from the grave after Yahshua’s resurrection.

Rev. 11:12. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
This is the day of the resurrection, described in Joel 2nd chapter, when many who were physically alive in Jerusalem saw these souls resurrected in a vision and were overcome with fear. And the great voice of Elohim told those resurrected souls to come up into heaven. Clearly, most thought this was the end of the world, Really, it was end of an age.

Rev. 11:13. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Here John is seeing in his vision the earthquake in Jerusalem at the time of Yahshua’s resurrection (Mt. 28:1) and 7,000 were killed and 10th part of the city destroyed. None of the four gospels reported the number of deaths, the fear that fell upon the city, nor the devastation to the city.

Rev. 11:14.The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
So the second woe primary was about the resurrection of Yahshua the Messiah and the sixth trumpet.

Rev. 11:15. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Now remember seven is perfection or as Elohim showed Moses in his vision of creation the Sabbath Day.
Here the seventh trumpet sounded and the kingdom of Yahweh’s son, Yahshua, was established with his resurrection and outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Rev. 11:16-17. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
Rev. 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
This basically is a great judgment of both the living and the dead, meaning the books were opened (Exodus 32:31-33; Psalm 69:28, Daniel 7:9-10; Rev. 20:12). And the 24 elders worshiping Elohim and giving thanks because he did come into the flesh, made atonement for sin, and resurrected, The Messiah told His disciples that all power was given to Him in heaven and in earth (Matthew 28:18).
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”
Revelation 11:19 KJV
When Yahweh spoke from atop mount Sinai the same signs of lightning, earthquakes, and thunderings followed before he spoke the 10 commandment law (Exo. 19:16-19).
