Study Note
The great earthquake following the resurrection and ascension of the two witnesses — in which a tenth of the city falls and seven thousand are slain — moves the surviving 'remnant' to 'give glory to the God of heaven,' a response unique in Revelation's otherwise recalcitrant humanity. The earthquake as divine epiphanic sign draws on Sinai tradition (Exodus 19:18) and the prophetic judgment-theophany (Amos 1:1; Zechariah 14:5), but here it produces repentance rather than destruction. The specific fraction 'a tenth' may echo the tithe principle — a holy portion — suggesting that even in judgment God preserves a redemptive remnant. The passage has generated significant debate about whether Revelation envisions a final universal repentance or merely a terrified but not genuinely converted acknowledgment of divine power.
