10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

A. The world of evil and wickedness had a party. They thought the church and the idea of Christianity was dead. They rejoiced at what they had accomplished.

B. But, the church was not dead. One cannot kill an idea.

C. The principles of the New Testament remained alive.

D. The power is in the seed. (Luke 11:8) Wherever the seed is planted in open and honest hearts, Christians can be produced. The seed may appear to be dead. But it is dead seed that brings the living organism to life and vitality.
