The temple of God which is in heaven will be opened. What will appear there at that time? vs. 19a
What will follow the flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder? vs. 19b - Name 2 things
So what we are seeing as the temple in heaven is opened is a representation of God's final judgment. Will you be among the saints who feared His Name and therefore receive reward rather than judgment? Everyone in Christ Jesus will be rewarded at that time. Satan thought he had killed the witnesses just like he thought he had killed the Christ. Just like Christ, these were dead 3 days and then were raised by God, and just like Christ, they watched them go into heaven in bodily form just as they saw Christ ascend into the clouds as well. The Gospel message was made clear to those who had ears to hear and eyes to see what the Lord was explaining to them.
Summarize the chapter and post a prayer if you would like.
