                 “I WILL GIVE POWER TO MY TWO WITNESSES…NOW WHEN THEY FINISH THEIR
                         TESTIMONY, THE BEAST THAT ASCENDS OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT

From the above examples we can easily see what it is that will
mark the seven years of tribulation: it is “WAR!” There will be
“war in the heavens” among angelic and demonic forces. There
will be “war on earth” between Satan and the Tribulation saints.
There will be war between God;’s two witnesses, Moses and Elijah
pitted against the False Prophet and the Antichrist. Revelation
spells out 6 warfares that will happen during this time:

       Let us now consider this prophetic teaching entitled,
       “War in Heaven and War on Earth”
