Revelation

Revelation 11:8–10

8Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city — figuratively called Sodom and Egypt — where their Lord was also crucified. 9For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb. 10And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.
