I fully agree that the beast is alive for a "Short Period" of days after the witnesses are killed.Your problem here is two-fold. There are chapters that cover the same thing, like Rev. 14, 16 and 18, they all cover the same event, Babylon's destruction in Rev. 14 (Babylon is Fallen) and the Winepress. In Rev. 16:19 God sees Babylon as the NATIONS THAT FELL, then hes sees them as being placed in the Winepress (SAME EVENT). Then in Rev. ch. 18 it speaks about Babylon falling again, this id the WHOLE WORLD being hit with all 21 Plagues/Judgments of God.
Likewise Rev. 11 and 16 can cover the same thing but in a different manner, and eve if you are correct, you are not correct in that you still miss one fact. The Two-witnesses die BEFORE the Second Woe ends. The 3rd Woe is then announced. You do realize that the 7th Seal is ALL SEVEN TRUMPETS RIGHT? Thus the 3rd Woe is ALL SEVEN VIALS wrapped into one. So seeing as its being shown as ONE WOE here, you could get the Angel announcing what the end of the 3rd Woe will result in, but the facts are when the SEVEN VIALS come fourth there are SEVEN ANGELS that pour each one out individually. Jesus lands on the Mt of Olives on the SEVENTH VIAL.
If you use common sense you understand that since the 7th Seal is all Seven Trumpets and the 7th Trumpet pr 3rd Woe is all SEVEN VIALS, then we could say Jesus loosed all 21 of the Judgments !!
Since the Two-witnesses die during the 2nd Woe, they can not die during the 3rd Woe. This the Beast dies after the Two-witnesses, did yo guys take math in school ?
Now you van not say the 2nd Woe is the SAME EVENT as Rev. ch. 16. You are trying to confuse the situation for some reason. I am not easily confused. The Two-witnesses die before the Beast. That is not going to change by slight of hand.
Rev. 11 kind of goes with the Visions of 10, 12, 13, 14, 17 and 18. Remember, the 2nd Woe has already been told in Rev. ch. 9, so Rev. 11 is more akin to a VISION, its not a real time event.
Its just filling in the gaps so to speak. 2nd Woe in Rev. 9, the 7 Vials are in Rev. 16, so Rev. 11 is not a real time event per se, its just basically filling us in on when the Two witnesses die. The basically die in Rev. chapter 9 but it just isn't spoken of.Just like Rev. 12, 13, 17 and 18 start during Rev. ch 6.
They are raised to heaven after 3 1/2 days dead, "The Same Hour" the earthquake, second woe past, You have the third woe being 71 1/2 days
That does not represent "Quickly" as travailing pains of birth.
You state Revelation 11 is akin to a "VISION, not real time events?
We will disagree.
This will see literal plagues, on a literal world, the witnesses will die and lay in a literal street in Jerusalem, a literal world will rejoice over their death. A literal earthquake, and a literal city falling.
