And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
I'm going to give my two witnesses some serious power, and they'll speak my truth for 1,260 days straight, dressed in rough, humble clothes that show they're not here to play around.
