7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them. 8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city—which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. 10 The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

11 But after the three and a half days the breath[b] of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

Psalm 95

1
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
2
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.

3
For the Lord is the great God,
the great King above all gods.
4
In his hand are the depths of the earth,
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5
The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.

6
Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
7
for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice,
8
“Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,[a]
as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,
9
where your ancestors tested me;
they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10
For forty years I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they have not known my ways.’
11
So I declared on oath in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’”
