Revelation 11

New Matthew Bible

The temple is measured. The 2nd woe is past. The seventh angel blows his trumpet.

11 And then was given me a reed like a measuring rod, and it was said to me, Rise and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship therein. ² And the quire that is within the temple, cast out, and measure it not. For it is given to the Gentiles, and they will tread the holy city under foot 42 months.

³ And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. ⁴ These are two olive trees and two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. ⁵ And if anyone would hurt them, fire will proceed out of their mouths and consume their enemies. And if anyone would hurt them, so must he be killed. ⁶ These have power to shut heaven, so that it will not rain in the days of their prophesying, and have power over waters, to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all manner of plagues as often as they will.

⁷ And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, and will overcome them and kill them. ⁸ And their bodies will lie in the streets of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Eygpt, where our Lord was crucified. ⁹ And they of the peoples and kindreds and tongues, and they of the nations, will see their bodies three and a half days, and will not allow their bodies to be put in graves. ¹⁰ And they that dwell upon the earth will rejoice over them and be glad, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets plagued those who dwelt on the earth.

¹¹ And after three and a half days, the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood up upon their feet. And great fear came upon those who saw them. ¹² And they heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, Come up hither. And they ascended up into heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. ¹³ And at the same hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell. And in the earthquake were slain names of men 7,000. And the rest were cast into fear, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

¹⁴ The 2nd woe is past, and behold, the 3rd woe will come quickly.

¹⁵ And the seventh angel blew, and there were made great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are our Lord’s and his Christ’s, and he shall reign forevermore! ¹⁶ And the 24 elders that sit before God on their seats fell upon their faces and worshipped God, ¹⁷ saying, We give you thanks, Lord God Almighty, who is and was and is to come, for you have received your great might, and have reigned. ¹⁸ And the nations were angry, and your wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that you should give reward to your servants the prophets and saints, and to those who fear your name, small and great, and should destroy those who 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 followed lightnings and voices and thunderings, and an earthquake, and much hail.
