Revelation 11:3-5

3 And I will grant my two witnesses authority[a] to prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.” 4 (These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.)[b] 5 If[c] anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths[d] and completely consumes[e] their enemies. If[f] anyone wants to harm them, they must be killed this way.
