Revelation, Chapter 11
The Two Witnesses
[1] Then there was given to me a (a)measuring rod like a staff; (b)and someone said, “Get up and measure the (c)temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it.
[2] (d)Leave out the courtyard which is outside the (e)temple and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations; and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months.
[3] And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
[4] These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
[5] And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; and so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way.
[6] These have the power to shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
[7] When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them.
[8] And their dead bodies will lie on the street of the great city which (f)spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
[9] Those from the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will look at their dead (g)bodies for three and a half days, and (h)will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.
[10] And those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who live on the earth.
[11] And after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them.
[12] And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them.
[13] And (i)at that time there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; (j)seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
[14] The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is coming quickly.
The Seventh Trumpet: Christ’s Reign Foreseen
[15] Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His (k)Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.”
[16] And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God,
[17] saying,
“We give You thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.
[18] And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to (l)reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the (m)saints and those who fear Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
[19] And the (n)temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and the ark of His covenant appeared in His (o)temple, and there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder, and an earthquake, and a great (p)hailstorm.
