Revelation 11

The Two Witnesses

11Then I was given a measuring stick, and I was told, "Go and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers.G2532G1325G3427G2563G3664G4464G2532G32G2476G3004G1453G2532G3354G3485G2316G2532G2379G2532G4352G1722G8462But do not measure the outer courtyard, for it has been turned over to the nations. They will trample the holy city for 42 months.G2532G833G3588G1855G2081G3485G1544G1854G2532G3354G846G3361G3754G1325G1484G2532G40G4172G3961G5062G1417G33763And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will be clothed in burlap and will prophesy during those 1,260 days."G2532G1325G3450G1417G3144G2532G4395G5507G1250G1835G2250G4016G45264These two prophets are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of all the earth.G3778G1526G1417G1636G2532G1417G3087G2476G1799G2316G10935If anyone tries to harm them, fire flashes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. This is how anyone who tries to harm them must die.G2532G1536G846G2309G91G846G4442G1607G1537G846G4750G2532G2719G846G2190G2532G1536G2309G91G846G1163G3779G6156They have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall for as long as they prophesy. And they have the power to turn the rivers and oceans into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.G3778G2192G1849G2808G3772G3363G1026G5205G3363G1722G2250G846G4394G2532G2192G1849G1909G5204G4762G846G1519G129G2532G3960G1093G3956G4127G3740G1437G23097When they complete their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the bottomless pit

will declare war against them, and he will conquer them and kill them.G2532G3752G5055G846G3141G2342G305G1537G12G4160G4171G3326G846G2532G3528G846G2532G615G8468And their bodies will lie in the main street of Jerusalem

, the city that is figuratively called "Sodom" and "Egypt," the city where their Lord was crucified.G2532G846G4430G1909G4113G3173G4172G3748G4153G2564G4670G2532G125G3699G2532G2257G2962G47179And for three and a half days, all peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will stare at their bodies. No one will be allowed to bury them.G2532G991G1537G2992G2532G5443G2532G1100G2532G1484G991G846G4430G5140G2250G2532G2255G2532G863G3756G863G846G4430G5087G1519G341810All the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give presents to each other to celebrate the death of the two prophets who had tormented them.G2532G2730G1909G1093G5463G1909G846G2532G2165G2532G3992G1435G240G3754G3778G1417G4396G928G2730G1909G109311But after three and a half days, God breathed life into them, and they stood up! Terror struck all who were staring at them.G2532G3326G5140G2250G2532G2255G4151G2222G1537G2316G1525G1909G846G2532G2476G1909G846G4228G2532G3173G5401G4098G1909G2334G84612Then a loud voice from heaven called to the two prophets, "Come up here!" And they rose to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched.G2532G191G3173G5456G1537G3772G3004G846G305G5602G2532G305G1519G3772G1722G3507G2532G846G2190G2334G84613At the same time there was a terrible earthquake that destroyed a tenth of the city. Seven thousand people died in that earthquake, and everyone else was terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.G2532G1722G1565G5610G1096G3173G4578G2532G1182G4172G4098G2532G1722G4578G615G3686G444G2033G5505G2532G3062G1096G1719G2532G1325G1391G2316G377214The second terror is past, but look, the third terror is coming quickly.G1208G3759G565G2532G2400G5154G3759G2064G5035

The Seventh Trumpet Brings the Third Terror

15Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven: "The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ

, and he will reign forever and ever."G2532G1442G32G4537G2532G1096G3173G5456G1722G3772G3004G932G2889G1096G2257G2962G2532G846G5547G2532G936G1519G165G16516The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones before God fell with their faces to the ground and worshiped him.G2532G5064G2532G1501G4245G3588G2521G1799G2316G1909G846G2362G4098G1909G846G4383G2532G4352G231617And they said, "We give thanks to you, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who always was, for now you have assumed your great power and have begun to reign.G3004G2168G4671G2168G2962G2316G3841G3588G5607G3801G2532G2258G3801G2532G2064G3801G3754G2983G4675G3173G1411G2532G93618The nations were filled with wrath, but now the time of your wrath has come. It is time to judge the dead and reward your servants the prophets, as well as your holy people, and all who fear your name, from the least to the greatest. It is time to destroy all who have caused destruction on the earth."G2532G1484G3710G2532G4675G3709G2064G2532G2540G3498G2919G2532G1325G3408G4675G1401G4396G2532G40G2532G5399G4675G3686G3398G2532G3173G2532G1311G1311G109319Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of his covenant could be seen inside the Temple. Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and roared, and there was an earthquake and a terrible hailstorm.G2532G3485G2316G455G1722G3772G2532G3700G1722G846G3485G2787G846G1242G2532G1096G796G2532G5456G2532G1027G2532G4578G2532G3173G5464
