Scripture really doesn't say who told the Christians in Jerusalem to kill people. I know several people on this board believe those Christians kill for God or Jesus but I can't find where Jesus told Christians to kill anyone in the bible.

They do that all by themselves.Jesus never gave Christians the command to kill and torment people. Jesus commanded the exact opposite.
Simply by saying the word fire just like the two witnesses can.
Revelation 11:5 - The Two Witnesses
If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone who wants to harm them must be killed.biblehub.com
Does that make him good if he can kill people like these two Christians in Revelation can?
I need to point out that the title of your OP indicates he is calling fire down from heaven, as if he was like Elijah calling fire down from heaven upon his enemies. BUT, that is not what the two witnesses do. Rev 11:5 does NOT say they call fire down from heaven, it say that fire proceeds out of their MOUTH. Like a dragon in our mythology. In this case, the fire represents judgement.
Matthew 7:1-2
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Revelation 11:5
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Luke 19:22
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Yes, my nephew oy needs to say the word fire to destroy his enemies. Just like the two witnesses do. Fire proceeds from thier mouths. Fire proceeds from my nephews mouth and it does the same thing.
You didn't answer me. Have. You. seen. Him. Do. It?
At first you said he calls down fire from Heaven, now you say it is from his mouth...Which is it? Have you seen him do this feat.
No Edward. I did not go to the war. I'm also not in the military.
It works like this. Fire proceeds out of my nephews mouth. Then this happens. Then fire come down out of heaven to destroy his enemies. The same thing is taking place in Ukraine now.
Those are missles being fired. Or was that your nephew?
You know there's something familiar about you.
It looks like fire to me.
Scripture shows these armed forces occupying Jerusalem for those 42 months.
What command do you suppose comes out of thier mouths?
Scripture calls them gentiles and says they tread Jerusalem under foot for those 42 months.

So your nephew shoots missles out of his mouth?
Or do you mean he gives a "Fire" command and an air strike rains down fire from the heavens? That might be construed to be calling fire down.
Gentiles who call Jesus "Lord" are refers to as Christians today.
Scripture shows they are gentiles and scripture says their Lord was crucified.
Revelation 11:2 - The Two Witnesses
But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months.

Revelation 11:8 - The Witnesses Killed and Raised
Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city--figuratively called Sodom and Egypt--where their Lord was also crucified.

Like I've stated before though. They do the exact opposite of the commands Jesus gave in the gospel.
Exactly.
The same practice which is carried out by the armed forces occupying Jerusalem for those 42 months.
And there are 1290 days from the day the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up by the armed forces of the north.
Alittle over the amount of days the two Christian witnesses occupy Jerusalem.
Daniel 12:11 - Michael's Deliverance and the End Times
And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days.
biblehub.com
Looks like the daily sacrifice is abolished 30 days prior to thier arrival and the abomination of desolation is placed in Jerusalem on the day they ascend into heaven.
Now what would you want to bet that Israel's draft is abolished 30 days before these armed forces begin thier occupation?
Because, scripture says their Lord died in that city.
Revelation 11:8 - The Witnesses Killed and Raised
Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city--figuratively called Sodom and Egypt--where their Lord was also crucified.

But as you know, not everyone who calls Jesus Lord will enter his kingdom.
Matthew 7:21 - A Tree and its Fruit
Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
biblehub.com
In fact, these two witnesses are removed from Jesus's kingdom just prior to him receiving it. They are removed from the kingdom promised to Christ in this verse.
Just a couple verses later,
Christ inherits the kingdom promised to him soon after the two witnesses are removed from it.
They were removed before the seventh trump. The last trump. They were removed before the corruptible becomes incorruptible.
It's in Revelation 11:3
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Yes, your nephew can speak the WORD fire from his mouth, but literal FIRE does not come forth from his mouth. Also, I would assume that your nephew is someone who follows someone else's order, or in the case of the US military, that order would have to come from the President as the Commander in Chief.
Is your nephew some renegade military grunt who needs to be reported to the proper authorities for launching military weapons against his enemies without the proper authorization?
As far as the two witnesses are concerned, if you can't even understand how your nephew follows orders; orders where a judgement has been made, then how should you ever understand the two witnesses?
Even Jesus said the following...
John 5:30
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
John 8:16-18
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
Just a little friendly advise. Your crusade against the two witnesses has become excessive and it appears to be consuming your thoughts. It doesn't appear that you are taken all things into consideration, but rather have become fixated on what you want to judge as being evil, making yourself a judge of the law, and a judge over God's judgement.
I will agree with one of your sentiments, and that as followers of Jesus, He did not tell us to call fire down from heaven as did Elijah. In fact he rebuked his disciples for suggesting such, saying know you not what spirit you are of? (Luke 9:54-55)
The two witnesses are given the authority, you should accept it at that, and let it go for now. Take a breather. Think about something else for a while. Think about the sign of Jonah. As your nephew was most likely following orders, consider the prophet Jonah.
Jonah, as a prophet and witness of God, was given an order by God to go to Nineveh and warn them of their coming judgement and give them a chance to repent. But, Jonah didn't want to go to Nineveh, he went and hid instead, hoping for the city to be burned with fire in judgement. When Jonah finally arrived in Nineveh and the people repented, God spared the city and the people. But Jonah didn't believe God, so he went and camped out upon a hill, waiting for Nineveh to be destroyed. You should go and read the last chapter of the book of Jonah and see what became of Jonah's end.
As Jesus said there shall be no sign given except the sign of Jonah the prophet, then consider for yourself how Jonah wanted for their judgement, but then didn't believe God when he had forgiven them.
As I've stated earlier, Pilate was given authority from above to kill whomever he wanted including Christ.
Just because the second beast is given authority to kill whomever they want doesn't make them good. It just means they can kill anyone they want. They can smite the earth with plagues as often as they will. During the final 42 months in Jerusalem this beast has the authority to reign over all israel. Everyone in Israel and Jerusalem will be given the mark of the beast. The only people who will not get it are the saints who are persecuted during those 42 months. The 2 witnesses are not persecuted. They are the ones doing the persecuting. They have the authority to persecute as much as they will.
Revelation 13:13 - The Beast from the Earth
And the second beast performed great signs to cause even fire from heaven to come down to earth in the presence of the people.
biblehub.com
Revelation 13:15 - The Beast from the Earth
The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed.

I've been reading about the beast attacking the armed forces stationed in Jerusalem. It really enrages the king of the north. It takes place at the time of he end.
Time to bring out the nukes.
