Revelation 11:7

7  And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

After 1,260 days of testimony from these two prophets, the Beast will come out of the bottomless pit, make war against them, and kill them. This and other scripture makes it fairly clear that a world leader will be killed and come back to life or at least be healed of a deadly head wound.

This will occur right after Satan is cast out of heaven. At that time, there is war in heaven and Satan is cast out of heaven with all his angels. He then incarnates the Beast and kills God's two prophets. (God is the author of life and Satan by himself can raise no one back to life. However, God may allow Satan to have his desire to raise this sinful man back to life because the world rejected the truth told by these two prophets. They testified that Jesus would come back from heaven and Israelites would lead the Kingdom of God on earth. Now that the world has rejected God s message, He will allow a great delusion to come upon the earth for those who wish to believe a lie - 2 Thessalonians 2:11)

We commonly call this supernatural man who kills the two prophets the  Antichrist  but the Bible calls him the  Beast. The best prophecy scholars place the death of the two prophets at the midpoint of Daniel's 70th week of seven years. The key proof to me that their death occurs at the mid point of this seven years, is the passage that says Elijah would come before the great and dreadful day of the Lord (Malachi 4:5). We know from many places in scripture that speak about these end times, that the actual judgment part of the day of the Lord comes in the final 3 ½ years that begins at the desecration of the temple by the Beast. It is the same 3 ½ year period in which Israelites are protected in the mountains by God angels from this Beast. Daniel spoke of this period that starts with the desecration of the temple by the Beast. Jesus, quoting Daniel, said this period would be the worst time on earth that ever was or ever will be (Matthew 24:15-24).

The exact timing of the coming of the two witnesses can appear difficult if it all happens in a seven-year period from the rapture until the second coming (as most teach).  I have no difficulties with my scenario  because I claim their ministry actually starts at the opening of the seventh seal and not at the rapture.  They will perform their ministry in the first half of a seven-year period that is preceded by a great earthquake and signs in the sun and moon and has people hiding in holes in the ground from the wrath of the Lamb. The two prophets will begin their ministry at the time of the signing of a seven-year peace covenant by a world leader with Israel.

We are told that the two prophets are killed at the end of the second woe (6 th  trumpet). The second woe is about the 200,000,000-man army of horsemen that comes from the East. Right after this war of East against West, we are told that the Beast ascends out of the pit, wars against the two prophets and kills them. What probably happens is the world leader is killed by a Jewish zealot and rises back to life incarnated by Satan. He then kills the two prophets, breaks the seven year covenant with Israel, desecrates the Jewish temple, claims to be above anything called God, ends the wars, is accepted as the world's savior and sets up his counterfeit kingdom of god from Babylon.

When the Beast that comes out of the pit kills the two prophets, he will have almost total control of the earth for the 3 ½ years allotted to him in scripture to deceive those who wish to believe this lie that he is God. Those in Israel who believed the two prophets and who were led to the true Messiah by the 144,000 witnesses will flee to the mountains for supernatural protection by Michael the archangel. When the King of the Jews comes in his glory, He will destroy the counterfeit kingdom and remove all those on earth that were against His rule and the establishment of a Jewish kingdom.
