Only have to read the first point to see how mixed up this is...
1.) Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
this is not the woman, this is the city of Jerusalem. If you think Jerusalem is the woman, then take a look at this...

Actually, he has part of this right and you have part of it right. The "Great" city mentioned in the verse above is the WOMAN, the HARLOT. When you see the word, "GREAT" used, think ISLAM in today's context, think Satan in general. Allahu Akbar = God (Allah) is GREAT. In Paul's day it was Diana who was "Great." In Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar was "Great."
But you both have the location wrong. It is not Jerusalem, it is MECCA. The Lord was crucified in literal Jerusalem, not spiritual Jerusalem. The Lord was crucified in spiritual MECCA. He was crucified by Satan who heads all the BEAST kingdoms from Egypt to Babylon, to Rome and to now.
The two witnesses do not minister in Jerusalem as most think. They will witness in MECCA. God always gives sinners a chance to repent before executing judgment. He always sends someone to preach to the sinner. In Nineveh it was Jonah. In Sodom it was Lot. In MECCA it will be the two witnesses. By invoking the name of Egypt and Sodom, God is reinforcing the fact that this city is facing judgment if she does not repent. God is speaking of an immoral place whose sins have reached Him. The sin is false worship - idol worship at MECCA.
The Jews are not barbaric. They would never allow rotting bodies to lie in their streets for 3 days. The Muslims certainly would and will.
The key word is "spiritual." This tells us with 100% certainty that John was not speaking of the physical location of Christ's death but the spiritual condition or state that killed Him. Remember what Paul taught?
Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Christ was put to death by dark powers; the same dark powers that were found in Egypt and Sodom and the same dark powers controlling the Islamic movement. ISLAM is Satan's great false religion of today. Before Islam it was something else. In John's day and Paul's day it was the worship of Diana, before that Baal, before that...etc.
Satan controls and influences and deceives man by various means all of which are opposed to the Gospel and to God and Christ.
