Revelation 11:2-19

21Leave out the 2court which is outside the 3temple and do not measure it, for 4it has been given to the nations; and they will 5tread under foot 6the holy city for 7forty-two months. 3And I will grant authority to my two 8witnesses, and they will prophesy for 9twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in 10sackcloth.” 4These are the 11two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5And if anyone wants to harm them, 12fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, 13he must be killed in this way. 6These have the power to 14shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during 15the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to 16turn them into blood, and 17to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

7When they have finished their testimony, 18the beast that comes up out of the 19abyss will 20make war with them, and overcome them and kill them. 8And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the 21great city which 22mystically is called 23Sodom and 24Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9Those from 25the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead 26bodies for three and a half days, and 2728will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. 10And 29those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will 30send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented 31those who dwell on the earth.

11But after the three and a half days, 32the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them. 12And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “33Come up here.” Then they 34went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them. 13And in that hour there was a great 35earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; 36seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and 37gave glory to the 38God of heaven.

14The second 39woe is past; behold, the third woe is coming quickly.

15Then the 40seventh angel sounded; and there were 41loud voices in heaven, saying,

“42The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of 43His 44Christ; and 45He will reign forever and ever.” 16And the twenty-four elders, who 46sit on their thrones before God, 47fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17saying,

“We give You thanks, 48O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to 49reign. 18And 50the nations were enraged, and 51Your wrath came, and 52the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to 53reward Your 54bond-servants the prophets and the 55saints and those who fear Your name, 56the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

19And 57the 58temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and 59the ark of His covenant appeared in His 60temple, and there were flashes of 61lightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a 62great 63hailstorm.
