11: • 1 Then a measuring rod was given to me, like a scepter or staff of authority, saying, “Rise and measure the Devoted Place, and measure the altar and those worshipping inside of it. 2 But do not measure the court outside [b), because it has been given to the ethnic families and they will tread upon it forty-two months. • 3 And I will give to My two witnesses [c], and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, enclothed with sackcloth. • 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing established in the presence of the Lord of the earth. 5 If anyone wants to commit injustice against them, fire goes forth out from their mouths and eats up their enemies. And if anyone wants to commit injustice against them, it is inevitable for them to be consumed. 6 These possess the authority to the heavens, that no rain should fall in the days of their prophecy. And they possess authority over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every wound or affliction as often as they want [d]. 7 When these two shall have completed their testimony, the beast who ascends up out of the abyss will war against them and will overcome them and kill them. 8 And their bodies will be upon the street of the great city, which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9 Those who are of the peoples and tribes, languages and ethnic families, will look upon their bodies for three and a half days, and they will not allow their bodies to be put into a tomb. 10 And those dwelling upon the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets had examined by torment those dwelling upon the earth. • 11 Then, after the three and a half days, the Spirit of life out from God came inside of them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those who saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice out from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended into heaven inside of the cloud, even as their enemies beheld them. 13 In that hour, there was a great earthquake; a tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand names of men were killed in the earthquake. Then the rest became terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. 14 The second woe has passed, look and see, the third woe is coming quickly. • 15 Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet and there were great voices inside of heaven saying, “The kingdom of the world-cosmos has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign into the unfolding of the ages. 16 And the twenty-four elders, sitting on their thrones in the presence of God, fell upon their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying, “We speak good grace and give thanks to you, Lord God, the All-Carrying, All-Sustaining One, the One who is, who always is, and who is continuously and actively coming, • for You have taken your great power and have reigned. 18 Then the peoples were enraged, and Your anger came and the time for the dead to be judged, and for You to give reward to Your servants the prophets and to the devoted ones, and to those fearing Your name, small and great, and to destroy those who are destroying the earth.” • 19 Then the Devoted Place of God inside of heaven was opened and the Ark of His Covenant was seen inside of His Devoted Place, the place of His dwelling [e]. There were flashes of lightning, voices, and thunders, and an earthquake and great hail. |
