Apocalypse
11
And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and it
was said to me: Arise, and measure the temple of God,
and the altar and them that adore therein.
But the court, which is without the temple, cast out,
and measure it not: because it is given unto the Gentiles,
and the holy city they shall tread under foot two and
forty months:
And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall
prophesy a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed
in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks,
that stand before the Lord of the earth.
And if any man will hurt them, fire shall come out of
their mouths, and shall devour their enemies. And if
any man will hurt them, in this manner must he be slain.
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in
the days of their prophecy: and they have power over
waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth
with all plagues as often as they will.
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the
beast, that ascendeth out of the abyss, shall make war
against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great
city, which is called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt,
where their Lord also was crucified.
And they of the tribes, and peoples, and tongues, and
nations, shall see their bodies for three days and a
half: and they shall not suffer their bodies to be laid
in sepulchres.
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
upon the earth.
And after three days and a half, the spirit of life
from God entered into them. And they stood upon their
feet, and great fear fell upon them that saw them.
And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to
them: Come up hither. And they went up to heaven in
a cloud: and their enemies saw them.
And at that hour there was made a great earthquake,
and the tenth part of the city fell: and there were
slain in the earthquake names of men seven thousand:
and the rest were cast into a fear, and gave glory to
the God of heaven.
The second woe is past: and behold the third woe will
come quickly.
And the seventh angel sounded the trumpet: and there
were great voices in heaven, saying: The kingdom of
this world is become our Lord's and his Christ's, and
he shall reign for ever and ever. Amen.
And the four and twenty ancients, who sit on their seats
in the sight of God, fell on their faces and adored
God, saying:
We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art, and
who wast, and who art to come: because thou hast taken
to thee thy great power, and thou hast reigned.
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 render reward to thy servants the
prophets and the saints, and to them that fear thy name,
little and great, and shouldest destroy them who have
corrupted the earth.
And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the
ark of his testament was seen in his temple, and there
were lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake, and
great hail.
