两个见证人

11 有一根好象量尺的芦苇赐给了我,又有话说:“你起来,把 神的圣所和祭坛,以及在里面敬拜的人,都量一量、数一数。 但圣所外面的院子,不要量它,因为它已经给了外族人,他们要践踏圣城四十二个月。 我要赐能力给我那两个穿著麻衣的见证人,他们要传道一千二百六十天。” 他们就是站在全地之主面前的两棵橄榄树和两个灯台。 如果有人想要伤害他们,就有火从他们口中出来,吞灭他们的仇敌。凡是想要伤害他们的,都必这样被杀。 他们有权柄在他们传道的日子叫天闭塞不下雨,又有权柄掌管众水,使水变成血,并且有权柄可以随时随意用各样灾难击打全地。 他们作完了见证的时候,那从无底坑上来的兽要跟他们作战,胜过他们,把他们杀死。 他们的尸首要倒在大城的街道上。这城按着寓意叫所多玛,又叫埃及,就是他们的主被钉十字架的地方。 从各民族、各支派、各方言和各邦国中,都有人观看他们的尸首三天半,又不许人把尸首安放在坟墓里。 10 住在地上的人为了他们的缘故,就欢喜快乐,彼此送礼,因为这两位先知曾经使他们受痛苦。 11 过了三天半,有生命的气息从 神那里来,进入他们里面,他们就站立起来,看见他们的人都非常惧怕。 12 他们听见从天上来的大声音,对他们说:“上这里来!”他们就驾着云上了天,他们的仇敌也看见了。 13 就在那时,大地震发生了,那座城倒塌了十分之一,因着地震而死的有七千人,其余的人都很害怕,就把荣耀归给天上的 神。

14 第二样灾祸过去了。看哪,第三样灾祸快要到了!

吹第七枝号

15 第七位天使吹号,天上就有大声音说:

“世上的国成了我们的主

和他所立的基督的国,

他要作王,直到永永远远!”

16 那在 神面前,坐在自己座位上的二十四位长老,都面伏在地上敬拜 神, 17 说:

“主啊!全能的 神,昔在今在的,

我们感谢你!

因为你执掌了大权,

作王了!

18 列国忿怒了!

你的震怒也临到了!

时候已经到了!

死人要受审判!

你的众仆人、先知、圣徒,

和所有老幼贵贱、敬畏你名的人,

都要得赏赐!

你也要毁灭那些败坏全地的人!”

19 于是,在天上 神的圣所开了,他的约柜就在他的圣所中显现出来。随即有闪电、响声、雷轰、地震、大冰雹。

两位见证人

11 有一根杆子赐给我当量尺,同时有声音吩咐我说:“起来,量一量上帝的殿和祭坛,并数点在殿里敬拜的人。 你不用量圣殿的外院,因为这部分已经给了外族人,他们要践踏圣城四十二个月。 我要赐权柄给我的两个见证人,他们将身穿麻衣,传道一千二百六十天。”

这两位见证人就是竖立在世界之主面前的那两棵橄榄树和两座灯台。 若有人要伤害他们,他们便从口中喷出火焰,烧灭敌人;若有人企图加害他们,必定会这样被杀。 他们拥有权能,在传道期间可以关闭天空使雨不降在地上,又有权使水变成血,并随时用各样的灾祸击打世界。

当他们做完见证以后,从无底坑上来的兽要和他们交战,并战胜他们,把他们杀掉。 他们便陈尸在大城的街上,这大城按寓意名叫所多玛,又名埃及,是他们的主被钉在十字架上的地方。 三天半之久,他们的尸体不得埋葬,各民族、各部落、各语言族群、各国家的人都观看他们的尸体。 10 地上万民便兴高采烈,互相送礼道贺,因为这两位先知曾使地上的人受苦。

11 三天半过后,上帝的生命之气进入二人里面,他们便站立起来。看见的人都害怕极了! 12 接着天上有大声音呼唤他们说:“上这里来!”他们就在敌人的注视下驾云升上天去。 13 就在那一刻,发生了强烈的地震,那座城的十分之一倒塌了,因地震死亡的共七千人,生还者都在恐惧中将荣耀归给天上的上帝。

14 第二样灾难过去了,第三样灾难又接踵而来!

第七位天使吹号

15 第七位天使吹响号角的时候,天上有大声音说:“世上的国度现在已经属于我们的主和祂所立的基督了。祂要做王,直到永永远远。” 16 在上帝面前,坐在自己座位上的二十四位长老都一同俯伏敬拜上帝,说:

17 “主啊!昔在、今在的全能上帝啊!
我们感谢你,
因你已施展大能做王了。
18 世上的列国曾向你发怒,
现在是你向他们发烈怒的日子了。
时候已到,你要审判死人,
你要赏赐你的奴仆、先知、圣徒
和一切不论尊卑敬畏你名的人,
你要毁灭那些毁坏世界的人。”

19 那时,天上上帝的圣殿敞开了,殿内的约柜清晰可见,又有闪电、巨响、雷鸣、地震和大冰雹。

The Two Witnesses

11 I was given a measuring stick like a rod, and I was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the people worshiping there. But do not measure the yard outside the temple. Leave it alone, because it has been given to those who are not God’s people. And they will trample on the holy city for forty-two months. And I will give power to my two witnesses to prophesy for one thousand two hundred sixty days, and they will be dressed in rough cloth to show their sadness.”

These two witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. And if anyone tries to hurt them, fire comes from their mouths and kills their enemies. And if anyone tries to hurt them in whatever way, in that same way that person will die. These witnesses have the power to stop the sky from raining during the time they are prophesying. And they have power to make the waters become blood, and they have power to send every kind of trouble to the earth as many times as they want.

When the two witnesses have finished telling their message, the beast that comes up from the bottomless pit will fight a war against them. He will defeat them and kill them. The bodies of the two witnesses will lie in the street of the great city where the Lord was killed. This city is named Sodom[a] and Egypt, which has a spiritual meaning. Those from every race of people, tribe, language, and nation will look at the bodies of the two witnesses for three and one-half days, and they will refuse to bury them. 10 People who live on the earth will rejoice and be happy because these two are dead. They will send each other gifts, because these two prophets brought much suffering to those who live on the earth.

11 But after three and one-half days, God put the breath of life into the two prophets again. They stood on their feet, and everyone who saw them became very afraid. 12 Then the two prophets heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here!” And they went up into heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched.

13 In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city was destroyed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and those who did not die were very afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second trouble is finished. Pay attention: The third trouble is coming soon.

The Seventh Trumpet

15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And there were loud voices in heaven, saying:

“The power to rule the world now belongs to our Lord and his Christ,
    and he will rule forever and ever.”

16 Then the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, bowed down on their faces and worshiped God. 17 They said:

“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
    who is and who was,
because you have used your great power
    and have begun to rule!
18 The people of the world were angry,
    but your anger has come.
The time has come to judge the dead,
    and to reward your servants the prophets
and your holy people,
    all who respect you, great and small.
The time has come to destroy those who destroy the earth!”

19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened. The Ark that holds the agreement God gave to his people could be seen in his temple. Then there were flashes of lightning, noises, thunder, an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.
