The Scripture-Grounds that I have to offer for my Opinion in this Point are these, Viz. 1. Because, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony in Heaven is not opened, out of which Temple the seven Angels come forth with their seven golden Vials, Chap. 15.5, 6, 7.

But these things are not yet done, and therefore none of the Seven Vials are yet poured out. Let Christians consider, Are the Witnesses slain, before their Testimony be finished? Verse 7. saith, When they shall have finished their Testimony, the Beast, that ascendeth out of the Bottomless Pit, shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them: And if these Witnesses and Warriors be slain, Are they Risen and ascended up to Heaven?
