Contextual Overview
3And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth." 4These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. 6These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want. 7Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them. 8Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.10The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth. 11But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. 12Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Y ellos de la gente - Algunas de las personas; una parte de la gente - ἐκ τῶν λαῶν ek tōn laōn. El lenguaje es el que se utilizaría para describir una escena en la que se debería hacer referencia a una parte considerable de una compañía de personas, sin tener la intención de incluir a todos. La idea esencial es que habría un conjunto de diferentes clases de personas a las que se expondrían sus cadáveres, y que vendrían a mirarlos. Deberíamos esperar encontrar el cumplimiento de esto en algún lugar donde, por cualquier causa, se deba reunir una variedad de personas, como en alguna capital o ciudad comercial, a la que se sentirían naturalmente atraídos.
Verá sus cuerpos muertos - Es decir, ocurrirá un estado de cosas como si estos testigos fueran ejecutados y sus cadáveres fueran expuestos públicamente.
Tres días y medio - Esto podría ser literalmente tres días y medio o, más de acuerdo con el estilo habitual de este libro, serían proféticos dias; es decir, tres años y medio. Compare las notas en Apocalipsis 9:5, Apocalipsis 9:15.
Y no dejará que sus cadáveres sean puestos en tumbas - Es decir, habría un curso de conducta con respecto a estos testigos como se mostraría a los muertos, si no sufrían, serían enterrados decentemente. El lenguaje utilizado aquí - "no sufrirá" - parece implicar que habría quienes estarían dispuestos a mostrarles el respeto que se manifiesta al enterrar a los muertos, pero que esto no se permitiría. Esto sería una satisfacción si, en un momento de persecución, los que habían dado testimonio fiel fueran silenciados y tratados con deshonra y si hubiera quienes estuvieran dispuestos a mostrarles respeto, pero que serían impedidos por actos positivos por parte de ellos. de sus perseguidores. Este ha sido a menudo el caso en la persecución, y no podría haber dificultades para encontrar numerosas instancias en la historia de la iglesia a las que se aplicaría este lenguaje.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Versículo Apocalipsis 11:9 . No permitirán que sus cadáveres sean puestos en sepulcros. Serán tratados con la mayor barbarie . Se permitió que la negativa a dar sepultura a los muertos fuera la suma de brutalidad y crueldad. ¡En tierras papistas no tolerarán que un protestante tenga un entierro cristiano , o que tenga una tumba en un cementerio! ¡Miserables despreciables!
