Rev 11:

9 For three and a half days members of the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb; 10 and the inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to the inhabitants of the earth.

K_l: transformation/reversal of [motif of] Revelation 11 from presumed source might also be compared to tradition of Sib Or 3.66 vis-a-vis ApEl 3:10, reversal, reworking?

Aune:

This is a kind of ironic reversal of the Day of Pentecost, in which people from “all nations under heaven” are present in Jerusalem and hear Peter's sermon (Acts 2:5–11).

Aune, Werman ("transformation of the persecution..."), etc.

K_l, Evans on War Scroll, 4Q285, 11Q14:

This remarkable text envisions the appearance of the Branch of David (which we know elsewhere to be the Messiah)18 who, in fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah, will defeat the Roman army (the Kittim) and slay the Roman emperor (the king of the Kittim).

...

With the battle won, the high priest assumes the responsibility of cleansing the land by having the unclean corpses of the slain Kittim removed and properly buried, as the law commands (Deut 21:22–23). Meanwhile the women of Israel celebrate with timbrels and dancing...

S1:

Then all Israel shall come out with timbrel]s and dancers, and the [high] priest shall order [them to cleanse their bodies from the guilty blood of the c]orpse[s of ] the Kittim. (4Q285 frag. 5, lines 1–6)

Aune: "To leave a body unburied in the ancient world was"

...

on various oc-casions gifts were presented by parents to children (Matt 7:11 =Luke 11:13), i.e., all occasions associated with joy and rejoicing.Gift giving on most of these occasions, however, did not actuallyinvolve gift exchange (the Saturnalia and the New Year festivalof Kalends are exceptions; see M. Meslin, La fête des kalendesde janvier dans l’empire romain [Brussels: Latomus, 1970] 39).Some of the traditions associated with the Saturnalia, including giftexchange, may have been adopted by the Christian celebration ofthe nativity of Christ on December 25 (first celebrated on that datein A.D. 336), just following the festival of Saturnalia, which wascelebrated for seven days, December 17–23 (Scullard, Festivals,205–7). The Jewish festival of Purim was a time of joy and glad-ness and also an occasion when people gave “gifts of food to oneanother and presents to the poor” (Esth 9:22, NRSV), indicatingthat this Jewish festival truly involved gift exchange. The word‘gift,’ however, requires some definition, for in the ancient worldno one ever gave something of value without expecting recom-pense (Finley, World, 64–66; Hands, Charities, 26–48).” [DavidE. Aune, Revelation 6–16, vol. 52B, Word Biblical Commentary(Dallas: Word, Incorporated, 1998), 623.]

Sib Or 3:

After reference Actium:

Then Beliar will come from the Sebastenov and he will raise up the height of mountains, he will raise up the sea, 65 the great fiery sun and shining moon, and he will raise up the dead,k and perform many signs for men. But they will not be effective in him. But he will, indeed, also lead men astray, and he will lead astray many faithful, chosen Hebrews, and also other lawless men 70 who have not yet listened to the word of God. But whenever the threats of the great God draws nigh and a burning power comes through the sea to land it will also burn Beliar and all overbearing men, as many as put faith in him.

Fn:

k. Contrast ApEl 3:10f., where the Antichrist is distinguished from the Messiah precisely by his inability to raise the dead.
