After 1,260 days the witnesses stop testifying to God's Glory and prophesying, it is the end of the first 3-1/2 years. Thereafter starts the Great Tribulation and events in the second half of the 70th Week period, known as The Day of the Lord. There will still be people coming to know the Lord Jesus Christ but their lives will be full of suffering and they may die for their beliefs as there will be much persecution during that time.

Satan, the AntiChrist and the False Prophet: What we know about them in studying, as an overview... considering the symbolism... you will learn much more by studying Revelation and other books of the Bible, such as Daniel, on your own, as well.
The information in this web site is for points to think about and then to study on your own from the Bible (KJV), with prayer. Below are graphics, scriptures and
notes for each of these three evil entities. It is helpful to know our enemy and to
study Revelation, instead of avoiding the book because it is complex. As we study,
we learn more. We can't refuse to study simply because we might make wrong conclusions while we are learning!
