Revelation 11:5-19

5And if anyone wants to harm them, 1fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, 2he must be killed in this way. 6These have the power to 3shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during 4the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to 5turn them into blood, and 6to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

7When they have finished their testimony, 7the beast that comes up out of the 8abyss will 9make war with them, and overcome them and kill them. 8And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the 10great city which 11mystically is called 12Sodom and 13Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9Those from 14the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead 15bodies for three and a half days, and 1617will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. 10And 18those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will 19send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented 20those who dwell on the earth.

11But after the three and a half days, 21the 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, “22Come up here.” Then they 23went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them. 13And in that hour there was a great 24earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; 25seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and 26gave glory to the 27God of heaven.

14The second 28woe is past; behold, the third woe is coming quickly.

15Then the 29seventh angel sounded; and there were 30loud voices in heaven, saying,

“31The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of 32His 33Christ; and 34He will reign forever and ever.” 16And the twenty-four elders, who 35sit on their thrones before God, 36fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17saying,

“We give You thanks, 37O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to 38reign. 18And 39the nations were enraged, and 40Your wrath came, and 41the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to 42reward Your 43bond-servants the prophets and the 44saints and those who fear Your name, 45the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

19And 46the 47temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and 48the ark of His covenant appeared in His 49temple, and there were flashes of 50lightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a 51great 52hailstorm.
