Revelation 11:2-19

21LeaveG1544 out the 2courtG833 which is outsideG1855 the 3templeG3485 and do not measureG3354 it, for 4it has been givenG1325 to the nationsG1484; and they will 5treadG3961 underG3961 footG3961 6the holyG40 cityG4172 for 7forty-twoG5065G1417 monthsG3376. 3And I will grantG1325 authority to my twoG1417 8witnessesG3144, and they will prophesyG4395 for 9twelveG5507G1250 hundredG5507G1250 and sixtyG1835 daysG2250, clothedG4016 in 10sackclothG4526.” 4TheseG3778 are the 11twoG1417 oliveG1636 treesG1636 and the twoG1417 lampstandsG3087 that standG2476 beforeG1799 the LordG2962 of the earthG1093. 5And ifG1487 anyoneG5100 wantsG2309 to harmG91 them, 12fireG4442 flowsG1607 out of their mouthG4750 and devoursG2719 their enemiesG2190; soG2532 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 wantsG2309 to harmG91 them, 13he mustG1163 be killedG615 in thisG3779 wayG3779. 6TheseG3778 haveG2192 the powerG1849 to 14shutG2808 up the skyG3772, soG2443 that rainG5205 will not fallG1026 during 15the daysG2250 of their prophesyingG4394; and they haveG2192 powerG1849 overG1909 the watersG5204 to 16turnG4762 them into bloodG129, and 17to strikeG3960 the earthG1093 with everyG3956 plagueG4127, as oftenG3740 as they desireG2309.

7WhenG3752 they have finishedG5055 their testimonyG3141, 18the beastG2342 that comesG305 up out of the 19abyssG12 will 20makeG4160 warG4171 with them, and overcomeG3528 them and killG615 them. 8And their deadG4430 bodiesG4430 will lie in the streetG4116 of the 21greatG3173 cityG4172 whichG3748 22mysticallyG4153 is calledG2564 23SodomG4670 and 24EgyptG125, whereG3699 alsoG2532 their LordG2962 was crucifiedG4717. 9Those from 25the peoplesG2992 and tribesG5443 and tonguesG1100 and nationsG1484 will lookG991 at their deadG4430 26bodiesG4430 for threeG5140 and a halfG2255 daysG2250, and 2728will not permitG863 their deadG4430 bodiesG4430 to be laidG5087 in a tombG3418. 10And 29thoseG3588 who dwellG2730 on the earthG1093 will rejoiceG5463 overG1909 them and celebrateG2165; and they will 30sendG3992 giftsG1435 to oneG240 anotherG240, becauseG3754 theseG3778 twoG1417 prophetsG4396 tormentedG928 31thoseG3588 who dwellG2730 on the earthG1093.

11But afterG3326 the threeG5140 and a halfG2255 daysG2250, 32the breathG4151 of lifeG2222 from GodG2316 cameG1525 into them, and they stoodG2476 on their feetG4228; and greatG3173 fearG5401 fellG1968 upon thoseG3588 who were watchingG2334 them. 12And they heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 from heavenG3772 sayingG3004 to them, “33ComeG305 up hereG5602.” ThenG2532 they 34wentG305 up into heavenG3772 in the cloudG3507, and their enemiesG2190 watchedG2334 them. 13And in that hourG5610 there was a greatG3173 35earthquakeG4578, and a tenthG1182 of the cityG4172 fellG4098; 36sevenG2033 thousandG5505 peopleG3686G444 were killedG615 in the earthquakeG4578, and the restG3062 were terrifiedG1719 and 37gaveG1325 gloryG1391 to the 38GodG2316 of heavenG3772.

14The secondG1208 39woeG3759 is pastG565; beholdG2400, the thirdG5154 woeG3759 is comingG2064 quicklyG5035.

15ThenG2532 the 40seventhG1442 angelG32 soundedG4537; and there were 41loudG3173 voicesG5456 in heavenG3772, sayingG3004,

“42The kingdomG932 of the worldG2889 has becomeG1096 the kingdom of our LordG2962 and of 43His 44ChristG5547; and 45He will reignG936 foreverG165 and everG165.” 16And the twenty-fourG1501G5064 eldersG4245, who 46sitG2521 on their thronesG2362 beforeG1799 GodG2316, 47fellG4098 on their facesG4383 and worshipedG4352 GodG2316, 17sayingG3004,

“We giveG2168 You thanksG2168, 48O LordG2962 GodG2316, the AlmightyG3841, who are and whoG3588 were, becauseG3754 You have takenG2983 Your greatG3173 powerG1411 and have begun to 49reignG936. 18And 50the nationsG1484 were enragedG3710, and 51Your wrathG3709 cameG2064, and 52the timeG2540 came for the deadG3498 to be judgedG2919, and the time to 53rewardG3408 Your 54bond-servantsG1401 the prophetsG4396 and the 55saintsG40 and thoseG3588 who fearG5399 Your nameG3686, 56the smallG3398 and the greatG3173, and to destroyG1311 thoseG3588 who destroyG1311 the earthG1093.”

19And 57the 58templeG3485 of GodG2316 which is in heavenG3772 was openedG455; and 59the arkG2787 of His covenantG1242 appearedG3708 in His 60templeG3485, and there were flashesG796 of 61lightningG796 and soundsG5456 and pealsG1027 of thunderG1027 and an earthquakeG4578 and a 62greatG3173 63hailstormG5464.
