The beast. will fight against them. In the vision, a beast comes up out of the abyss [hell before the Judgment], fights against the two witnesses, defeats them and kills them. This is Satan, working through the entire anti-christian world. He defeats the church of Christ, and their dead bodies lie on the street. Earthly Jerusalem symbolizes the anti-christian forces of Satan. Sodom symbolizes immorality. Egypt symbolizes slavery. The people of the earth will be happy. They think that by silencing the voice of the church of Christ, they have freed themselves from God's power. They think they can do as they please, without any messianic community to "judge them" and bring suffering upon them because of their sins.
