10 “The duration of man is often reckoned in days (Gen. Gen. 47:9, Gen. 47:28; Ps. Ps. 90:10, Ps. 90:12; Ps. 119:84), whereas judgments are sometimes reckoned in months (Gen. Gen. 8:5; Rev. Rev. 9:5+, Rev. 9:10+; Rev. 13:5+).”—Jerome Smith, The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge (Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1992), Rev. 11:3.

12 “The three-and-a-half year period of the prophecy of the two witnesses corresponds to the first half of the tribulation. . . . [The] absolute rule by the beast (Revelation Rev. 13:5+) apparently becomes possible only by the execution of the two witnesses by the beast (Revelation Rev. 11:7+) As long as the witnesses exercise such power over both men and nature, it is impossible for the beast to acquire world power.”—Henry Morris, The Revelation Record (Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, 1983), Rev. 11:6.
13 “But here in revelation 11 instead of the awful advent of the Lord from heaven ‘immediately’ after the killing of these witnesses, we read of a hideous celebration of their death by the nations and tribes of the earth. . . . it is at the beginning of the Beast’s successful blasphemous career, that he kills these two witnesses.”—William R. Newell, Revelation: Chapter by Chapter (Grand Rapids, MI: Kregel Publications, 1994,c1935), Rev. 11:14.
14 Pentecost cites English: “There is thought-provoking logic in the argument that their testimony will be given during the first half of Daniel’s prophetic week, and that their martyrdom will be the first persecuting act of the Beast, after he breaks his covenant with the Jews (Dan. Dan. 9:27).”—Pentecost, Things to Come: A Study in Biblical Eschatology, 309.
