Revelation 11

¹And I was given a measuring stick that was like a staff, and I was told, "Get up and measure the sanctuary of God and the altar, and those who are worshipping in it." ²But leave out the court of the sanctuary, and don't measure it, because it has been given to the nations (gentiles) and they will trample the holy city for 42 months. ³And I will give my two witnesses the authority to prophesy for 1260 days, dressed in sackcloth. ⁴These are the two olive branches and the two lamps that stand before the Lord of all the earth. ⁵But if anyone wants to hurt them, fire comes out of their mouth and devours their enemies, so if anyone wants to hurt them, this is the way that person must die. ⁶These have authority to seal up the heaves, so that it does not rain during the days they are prophesying, and they have authority over the waters, to turn them to blook and to strike the earth with whatever sort of plague the wish. ⁷And when their testimony is complete, the beast who is coming up out of the abyss will go to war with them, and will conquer them, and kill them. ⁸And their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, the place where their Lord was crucified. ⁹And some of the peoples and tribes and languages and nationalities will see their bodies for three and a half days, and their bodies will not be permitted burial. ¹⁰And those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and will celebrate, and they will send each other gifts, because these two prophets tormented those who live on the earth. ¹¹And after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God will enter them, and they will stand on their feet, and great fear will fall on those who see them. ¹²And they heard a loud voice from heaven tellin them, "Come up here!" And they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them. ¹³And in that hour there was a powerful earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell, and 7,000 people were killed in the earthquake, and the remainder became fearful and gave glory to the God of heaven.

¹⁴The second woe has passed. Look! The third woe is coming quickly!

7th Trumpet

¹⁵And the seventh angel blew his trumpe, and there were loud voices in heaven saying,
The kingdom of the world is now the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,
And he will rule them forever and ever.
¹⁶And the twenty-four elders who are seated before God fell on their faces and worshipped God, ¹⁷saying,

We thank you, Lord God all-powerful,
The one who is and who was,
Because you have received your great power, and you have started to reign.
¹⁸The nations became angry
And your wrath came,
And the time for the dead to be judged
And to give account for your slaves the prophets
The small and the great
And for the corruption of those who corrupted the earth.
¹⁹And the sanctuary of God was opened in heaven, and I saw the ark of his covenant, and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and large hail.
