NASB Bible

Revelation 11

The Two Witnesses

1

Then there was given me a  1 ameasuring rod like a staff;  2and  bsomeone said, "Get up and measure the  3temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it.

2

1Leave out the  acourt which is outside the  2temple and do not measure it, for  bit has been given to the nations; and they will  btread under foot  cthe holy city for  dforty-two months.

3

"And I will grant authority to my two  awitnesses, and they will prophesy for  btwelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in  csackcloth."

4

These are the  atwo olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

5

And if anyone wants to harm them,  afire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them,  bhe must be killed in this way.

6

These have the power to  ashut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during  bthe days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to  cturn them into blood, and  dto strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

7

When they have finished their testimony,  athe beast that comes up out of the  babyss will  cmake war with them, and overcome them and kill them.

8

And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the  agreat city which  1mystically is called  bSodom and  cEgypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

9

Those from  athe peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead  1bodies for three and a half days, and  2 bwill not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.

10

And  athose who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will  bsend gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented  athose who dwell on the earth.

11

But after the three and a half days,  athe breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them.

12

And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, " aCome up here." Then they  bwent up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them.

13

And in that hour there was a great  aearthquake, and a tenth of the city fell;  1seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and  bgave glory to the  cGod of heaven.

14

The second  awoe is past; behold, the third woe is coming quickly.

The Seventh Trumpet--Christ's Reign Foreseen

15

Then the  aseventh angel sounded; and there were  bloud voices in heaven, saying,

cThe kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of  dHis  1Christ; and  eHe will reign forever and ever."

16

And the twenty-four elders, who  asit on their thrones before God,  bfell on their faces and worshiped God,

17

saying,

"We give You thanks,  aO Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to  breign.

18

"And  athe nations were enraged, and  bYour wrath came, and  cthe time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to  1reward Your  dbond-servants the prophets and the  2saints and those who fear Your name,  ethe small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth."

19

And  athe  1temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and  bthe ark of His covenant appeared in His  1temple, and there were flashes of  clightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a  dgreat  2hailstorm.
