And I will grant my two witnesses authority to prophesy for one thousand two hundred sixty days, wearing sackcloth.”(A)

These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.(B) And if anyone wants to harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes; anyone who wants to harm them must be killed in this manner.(C) They have authority to shut the sky, so that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have authority over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire.(D)

When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the bottomless pit will wage war on them and conquer them and kill them,(E) and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that is prophetically[a] called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.(F) For three and a half days members of the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, 10 and the inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and exchange presents, because these two prophets tormented the inhabitants of the earth.(G)

11 But after the three and a half days, the breath[b] of life from God entered the two witnesses,[c] and they stood on their feet, and those who saw them were terrified.(H) 12 Then they[d] heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud while their enemies watched them.(I) 13 At that moment there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.(J)

14 The second woe has passed. The third woe is coming very soon.(K)

The Seventh Trumpet

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

“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord
    and of his Messiah,[e]
and he will reign forever and ever.”(L)

And I will appoint my two witnesses,(A) and they will prophesy for 1,260 days,(B) clothed in sackcloth.”(C) They are “the two olive trees”(D) and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”[a](E) If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies.(F) This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.(G) They have power to shut up the heavens(H) so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying;(I) and they have power to turn the waters into blood(J) and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast(K) that comes up from the Abyss(L) will attack them,(M) and overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city(N)—which is figuratively called Sodom(O) and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified.(P) For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation(Q) will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.(R) 10 The inhabitants of the earth(S) will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts,(T) because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

11 But after the three and a half days(U) the breath[b] of life from God entered them,(V) and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.”(W) And they went up to heaven in a cloud,(X) while their enemies looked on.

13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake(Y) and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory(Z) to the God of heaven.(AA)

14 The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.(AB)

The Seventh Trumpet

15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,(AC) and there were loud voices(AD) in heaven, which said:

But when her child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.(A) 22 So you have pain now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.(B)

Psalm 84

The Joy of Worship in the Temple

To the leader: according to The Gittith. Of the Korahites. A Psalm.

How lovely is your dwelling place,
    O Lord of hosts!(A)
My soul longs, indeed it faints,
    for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh sing for joy
    to the living God.(B)

Even the sparrow finds a home
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
    my King and my God.(C)
Happy are those who live in your house,
    ever singing your praise. Selah(D)
