^11:11And after the three and a half days the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were beholding them.

And after the three and a half days

Note the precision in time again. John could have said something like "during the 4th day ... ", but he is very exact at 3 1/2 days. What is so fascinating is that to God, time does not exist inasmuch as He is eternal. However, this precision indicates that even our human ties to time is well understood by Him. Furthermore, this precision gives credence to the rest of Revelation. When this event takes place, there will be NO DOUBT in the observer's minds as to what this means.

What happens after this is a GOD EVENT in 4 parts: a) a God miracle, b) clear evidence, c) result on observers, and d) a personal invitation.

• the breath of life from God came into them,

  All life is breathed into us from God. Physically, Genesis 2:4-9, we breath; spiritually, John 1:1-4-5, we have eternal breath; and our reward, Revelation 2:10, is LIFE.

• and they stood on their feet;

  We, humans, instantly equate someone lying down as asleep, unconscious, or dead. Standing up requires us to be alive, awake, and conscious. The evidence of BREATH on dry bones is clear in Ezekiel 37:1-10.

• and great fear fell upon those who were beholding them.

Why would a GREAT FEAR fall on the observers?

• They remember the past three and a half years.
• The beast, verse 7, DID NOT have ultimate power over death (Revelation 1:18).
• The observers realize the two witnesses were telling the truth, and now they must face the consequences, Revelation 20:14-15.
