6 These [houtos] have [echo] power [exousia] to shut [kleio] heaven, [ouranos] that [hina me] it rain [brecho] [huetos] not [hina me] in [en] the days [hemera] of their [autos] prophecy: [propheteia] and [kai] have [echo] power [exousia] over [epi] waters [hudor] to turn [strepho] them [autos] to [eis] blood, [haima] and [kai] to smite [patasso] the earth [ge] with all [pas] plagues, [plege] as often [hosakis] as [ean] they will. [thelo] KJV-Interlinear

6 These have the power to shut up the sky, in order that rain may not fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they desire. NASB

Not only can these two not be harmed, but they will grab the attention of the entire world with their abilities to stop or start all rainfall, turn the worlds water supplies into blood rendering them undrinkable and unusable, and cause the spreading of plagues of every type imaginable.

All of this with the mere command of their voices.

During the days of their prophesying, means two things.  Their ministry will last for 1260 days, which refers to the days of their prophesying.  But also, on the days that they actually teach or preach, that too is a reference to the days of their prophesying.

Presumably they will be standing outside and teaching while various media outlets or resources that they may have at their disposal, will be broadcasting their message to the entire world.  Their message of the gospel and judgment is not limited to only the Jews.  Everyone around the world will hear them.

Their power will wreck havoc all over the world, sufficient enough to get everyone's attention.

With all of the problems that the world is already having because of the judgments, this will add only more heartache to everyone as the world continues to reject Christ.

The power of these two witnesses is not simply an all or nothing power, but they may initiate any of their powers anytime at anyone, anywhere.

The phrase, as often as they will, means simply that.  God has given to them not only the power, but the freedom to apply their powers at their own discretion.

God knows exactly what they will do and when and where and for how long and so forth, and they will do exactly what God intends of them to do without even being told or instructed.
