Revelation 11:1-12

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.
