9 From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will people look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.
those from the nations…– the nations or Gentiles described in verse 2, and throughout the Book of Revelation, are those who are not the true saints, those who do not belong to “New Jerusalem.” The “nations” and “those who dwell on the earth” have the same meaning in this verse, as we shall see.
will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days – after the Synod of Lhota, in 1467, Bishop Stephan ordained the new Moravian clergy as “independant” of the Catholic Church. He was arrested by the Catholic authorities and burned at the stake in Vienna, on August 19, 1467, or shortly thereafter. The Moravian Church brothers were slaughtered in the forest, until Jan Rokycana, the Archbishop, and King George Prodebrady, died, in February 21, 1471, and March 22, 1471 respectively. After the death of King George, the Moravian Hussites worshiped freely and independently. This was three and a half days, or three and a half years, after the death of Bishop Stephan.
