11:1 And there was given me a reed like a rod: and the angel
stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the
altar, and them that worship in it.
11:2 But the court which is without the temple, leave out, and
measure it not; for it is given to the Gentiles: and the holy
city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months.
11:3 And I will give [power] to my two witnesses, and they shall
prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] sixty days, clothed in
sackcloth.
11:4 These are the two olive-trees, and the two candlesticks
standing before the God of the earth.
11:5 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.
11:6 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.
11:7 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.
11:8 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.
11:9 And they of the people, and kindreds, and languages, and
nations, shall see their dead bodies three days and a half, and
shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
11:10 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.
11:11 And after three days and a half the Spirit of life from
God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and
great fear fell upon them who saw them.
11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them,
Come up hither. And they ascended to heaven in a cloud; and
their enemies beheld them.
11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the
tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were killed
of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and
gave glory to the God of heaven.
11:14 The second woe is past; [and] behold, the third woe cometh
quickly.
11:15 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 will reign for
ever and ever.
11:16 And the four and twenty elders, who sat before God on
their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshiped God,
11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art,
and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy
great power, and hast reigned.
11:18 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 to thy servants the prophets, and to the
saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and
shouldest destroy them who destroy the earth.
11:19 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.
