Revelation 11:5,6

The images of these two verses represent the jealous care with which God watches over his faithful servants, and the punishment with which he visits their persecutors.

Fire proceedeth out of their mouth; an allusion to the act of Elijah in calling down fire from heaven. 2Ki 1:10; 2 Kings 1:12.

To shut heaven, that it rain not; as Elijah did by his intercession with God. 1 Kings 17:1; James 5:17.

To turn them to blood-smite the earth with all plagues; as Moses did at God's command.

Exodus 7:1-25 ; Exodus 8:1-32; Exodus 9:1-35; Exodus 10:1-29; Exodus 11:1-10; Exodus 12:1-51. Though God bears long, and for a time bestows many favors upon the wicked, not willing that they should perish, but that they should come to repentance; yet, in the end, if they turn not, he will whet his sword, his hand will take hold on judgment, and there will be none to deliver. Deuteronomy 32:41.
