Chapter 11
|
1
|
And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and
the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple
of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. |
2
|
But the court which is without the temple leave out,
and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles:
and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and
two months. |
3
|
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they
shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore
days, clothed in sackcloth. |
4
|
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks
standing before the God of the earth. |
5
|
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out
of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any
man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. |
6
|
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in
the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters
to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all
plagues, as often as they will. |
7
|
And when they shall have finished their testimony,
the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall
make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill
them. |
8
|
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the
great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,
where also our Lord was crucified. |
9
|
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and
nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an
half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put
in graves. |
10
|
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over
them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another;
because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt
on the earth. |
11
|
And after three days and an half the spirit of life
from God entered into them, and they stood upon their
feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. |
12
|
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto
them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven
in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. |
13
|
And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and
the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake
were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were
affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. |
14
|
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe
cometh quickly. |
15
|
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great
voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world
are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ;
and he shall reign for ever and ever. |
16
|
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God
on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped
God, |
17
|
Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which
art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken
to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. |
18
|
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come,
and the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants
the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy
name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which
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 were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and
an earthquake, and great hail. |
