Plumbing the Depths of Revelation 27

When the two wintesses of God finish their 42 month ministry, the "beast that comes from the Abyss" will attack and defeated them. Since their prophesy included manifestaions of power such as plagues and turning water to blood, the earth-dwellers who have suffered through that span of time will be greatly relieved. They will gloat and even give gifts to one another as a sign to great celebration, until the breath of God abruptly resurrects the faithful witnesses 3.5 days later. A severe earthquake follows their ascension into heaven, which destroys a portion of Jerusalem and kills 7000 inhabitants.
