Re 11:3 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Mt 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. Mt 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Mt 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. Mt 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. Mt 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. Mt 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Mt 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. Mt 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Mt 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
