Chapter 11 (CV)
1 And a reed like a rod was given me, and one said,
"Rouse, measure the temple of God and the altar and those worshiping in it.
2 And the court outside of the temple cast outside, and
you should not be measuring it, for it was given to the nations, and the holy city will
they be treading forty-two months.
3 And I will be endowing My two witnesses and they will
be prophesying a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two lampstands
which stand before the Lord of the earth.
5 And if anyone is wanting to injure them, fire is
issuing out of their mouth and is devouring their enemies. And if anyone should be wanting
to injure them, thus must he be killed.
6 These have authority to lock heaven, that there may be
no shower of rain for the days of their prophecy. And they have authority over the waters
to be turning them into blood, and to smite the land with every calamity, as often as they
will.
7 And whenever they should be finishing their testimony,
the wild beast which is ascending out of the submerged chaos will be doing battle with
them and will be conquering them and killing them.
8 And their corpses will be at the square of the great
city which, spiritually, is being called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord, also, was
crucified.
9 And those out of the peoples and tribes and languages and nations are
observing their corpses three days and a half, and they are not letting their corpses be
placed into a tomb.
10 And those dwelling on the earth are rejoicing over
them and are making merry, and will be sending approach presents to one another, seeing
that these two prophets torment those dwelling on the earth.
11 And after the three days and a half the spirit of life
out of God entered into them, and they stand on their feet. And great fear falls on those
beholding them.
12 And they hear a loud voice out of heaven saying to
them, "Ascend here!" And they ascended into heaven in a cloud, and their enemies
behold them.
13 And in that hour occurred a great earthquake, and a
tenth of the city falls, and there were seven thousand names of the men killed in the
earthquake. And the rest became affrighted and give glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe passed away. Lo! the third woe is
coming swiftly!
15 And the seventh messenger trumpets. And loud voices
occurred in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of this world became our Lord's and His
Christ's, and He shall be reigning for the eons of the eons! Amen!"
16 And the twenty-four elders who are sitting on their
thrones before God fall on their faces and worship God,
17 saying, "We are thanking Thee, Lord God Almighty,
Who art and Who wast, for Thou hast taken Thy great power and dost reign.
18 And the nations are angered, and Thy indignation came,
and the era for the dead to be judged, and to give their wages to Thy slaves, the
prophets, and to the saints and to those fearing Thy name, the small and the great, and to
blight those who are blighting the earth."
19 And opened was the temple of God in heaven, and seen
was the ark of God's covenant in His temple, and lightnings and voices and thunders and an
earthquake and a great hail occurred. |
Chapter 11 (KJV)
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. |
