Revelation 11:1-8

1ThenG2532 IG1473 was givenG1325 a measuring rodG2563 likeG3664 a staffG4464 and was toldG3004, “GoG1453 andG2532 measureG3354 theG3588 templeG3485 of GodG2316 andG2532 theG3588 altarG2379, andG2532 count the number ofG3588 worshipersG4352 there. 2But excludeG1544G1855 theG3588 courtyardG833 outsideG1855 theG3588 templeG3485. Do notG3361 measureG3354 itG846, becauseG3754 it has been givenG1325 over to theG3588 nationsG1484, andG2532 they will trampleG3961 theG3588 holyG40 cityG4172 for 42G5062G2532G1417 monthsG3376. 3AndG2532 I will empowerG1325G3588 myG1473 twoG1417 witnessesG3144, andG2532 they will prophesyG4395 for 1,260G5507G1250G1835 daysG2250, clothed inG4016 sackclothG4526.”

4TheseG3778 witnesses areG1510 theG3588 twoG1417 olive treesG1636 andG2532 theG3588 twoG1417 lampstandsG3087 that standG2476 beforeG1799 theG3588 LordG2962 of theG3588 earthG1093.1 5IfG1487 anyoneG5100 wantsG2309 to harmG91 themG846, fireG4442 proceedsG1607 fromG1537 theirG846 mouthsG4750 andG2532 devoursG2719 theirG846 enemiesG2190. In this wayG3779, anyone whoG5100 wantsG2309 to harmG91 themG846 mustG1163 be killedG615. 6TheseG3778 witnesses haveG2192 powerG1849 to shutG2808 theG3588 skyG3772 so thatG2443 noG3361 rainG5205 will fallG1026 during theG3588 daysG2250 ofG3588 theirG846 prophecyG4394, andG2532 powerG1849 to turnG4762 theG3588 watersG5204 intoG1519 bloodG129 andG2532 to strikeG3960 theG3588 earthG1093 withG1722 every kind ofG3956 plagueG4127 as often asG3740 they wishG1437G2309.

WhenG3752 the two witnesses have finishedG5055 theirG846 testimonyG3141, theG3588 beastG2342 thatG3588 comes upG305 fromG1537 theG3588 AbyssG12 will wageG4160 warG4171 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 will overpowerG3528 andG2532 killG615 themG846. 8TheirG846 bodiesG4430 will lie inG1909 theG3588 streetG4113 ofG3588 theG3588 greatG3173 cityG4172—figurativelyG4153 calledG2564 SodomG4670 andG2532 EgyptG125—whereG3699 theirG846 LordG2962 was also crucifiedG2532G4717.
