Bible, King James Version
Revelation
Rev.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.
