11 Then was given to me a reed, like a rod. And the angel stood by, saying, “Rise and measure the Temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship therein.

“But do not include the court which is outside the Temple. For it is given to the Gentiles. And they shall tread upon the holy city for 42 months.

“But I will give power to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”

These are two olive trees, and two candlesticks, standing before the God of the earth.

And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouths and devours their enemies. For if anyone would hurt them, thus must he be killed.

These have power to shut Heaven, so that it does not rain in the days of their prophesying; and have power over waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with all kinds of plagues, as often as they will.

And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them and kill them,

And their corpses shall lie in the streets of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt (where our Lord was also crucified).

And those of the people and tribes and tongues, and Gentiles, shall see their corpses for three and a half days, and shall not allow their carcasses to be put in graves.

10 And those who dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and be glad and shall send gifts to one another. For these two Prophets tormented those who dwelt on the earth.

11 But after three and a half days, the Spirit of Life, coming from God, shall enter into them. And they shall stand up upon their feet. And great fear shall come upon those who saw them.

12 And they shall hear a great voice from Heaven, saying to them, “Come up here!” And they shall ascend to Heaven in a cloud. And their enemies shall see them.

13 And the same hour there shall be a great earthquake. And a tenth of the city shall fall. And in the earthquake, seven thousand shall be slain. And the remnant was very afraid and gave glory to the God of Heaven.

14 The second woe is past! And behold, the third woe will come soon!

15 And the seventh angel blew the trumpet. And there were great voices in Heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of the world are our Lord’s, and his Christ’s! And He shall reign for evermore!”

16 Then the 24 elders who sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces and worshipped God.

17 Saying, “We give you thanks, Lord God Almighty; Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come! For You have received Your great might and have obtained Your Kingdom!

18 “And the Gentiles were angry. And Your wrath came, and the time of the dead; so that they would be judged, and that You would give reward to Your servants, the Prophets, and to Your saints, and to those who fear Your Name - both small and great - and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

19 Then the Temple of God was opened in Heaven. And there was seen in the temple the Ark of His Covenant. And there were lightnings and voices and thunderings and an earthquake, and much hail.
