Chapter 11 |
| 1 | And 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. |
| 2 |
But 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. |
|
3 | And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and
they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in
sackcloth. |
| 4
| These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks
standing before the God of the earth. |
| 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. |
| 6 | These 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. |
| 7 | And 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. |
| 8 |
And 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.
|
| 9 | And 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. |
|
10 | And 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. |
| 11 |
And 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. |
| 12 |
And 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. |
|
13 | And 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. |
| 14
| The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh
quickly. |
| 15
| And 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. |
| 16 |
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon
their faces, and worshipped God, |
| 17 | Saying, 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. |
| 18 | And 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. |
| 19 | And 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. |
