Rev 11:5 | MHM | STEP | v. 5 : If anyone tries to harm the witnesses, fire comes out of their mouths and devours their enemies (Revelation 11:5 ). This may refer to the power of their prayers and preaching, which bring conviction and judgment on their persecutors. Like Elijah, who called down fire from heaven (2 Kings 1:12 ), these witnesses have God’s power to defend themselves. Their words, like fire, burn the consciences of their enemies and show God’s displeasure.
