And there was given to me a measuring rod like a staff, and one said, “Get up and measure the sanctuary of God, and the altar, and count those who worship there.
But the court that is outside the sanctuary leave out, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles, and they will tread the holy city under foot for 42 months.
And I will give authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth.
And if anyone wants to hurt them, fire comes out of their mouth and devours their enemies, and if anyone wants to hurt them, he must be killed this way.
These have the power to shut the heavens so that it does not rain during the days of their prophecy, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they want to.
And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.
And their dead bodies will lie on the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
And some from among the peoples and tribes and languages and nations look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and do not permit their dead bodies to be put in a tomb.
And those who live on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry, and they will send gifts to one another because these two prophets tormented those who live on the earth.
And after the three and a half days, the spirit of life from God entered them and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them.
And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and 7,000 people, counted by name, were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
The second Terror is past. Look! The third Terror is coming quickly.
The Seventh Trumpet
And the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were great voices in heaven saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.”
And the 24 elders, who sit before God on their thrones, fell facedown and worshiped God,
saying, “We give you thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who is and who was, because you have taken your great power, and reigned;
and the nations were enraged, but your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and the time to give the rewards to your servants the prophets and to the holy ones and to those who fear your name (both the small and the great), and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
And the sanctuary of God that is in heaven was opened, and in his sanctuary the ark of his covenant was seen, and there was lightning, and voices, and thunder, and an earthquake, and great hail.
