SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The Bible appears to be associating the ten horn giving their power and strength unto the beast to the killing of the two witnesses. Time when the church is without strength (Christ) before the enemy. Then at the revelation of Christ, the elect receive strength while the unsaved continue to be eternally without strength.
