Revelation 11
1And
there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar,
and them that worship therein.
2But the court
which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they
tread under foot forty and two months.
3And
I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4These are the two olive trees, and the two
candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5And
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.
6These have
power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and
to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7And
when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them,
and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8And
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.
9And they of the people and
kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies
to be put in graves.
10And they that dwell
upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented
them that dwelt on the earth.
11And after
three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell
upon them which saw them.
12And they heard
a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld
them.
13And the same hour was there a great
earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were
affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14The
second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15And
the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms
of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped
God,
17Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD
God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the
dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and
them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his
temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
