1And there was given me a reed like unto a rod : and one said , Rise , and measure the temple of God , and the altar , and them that worship therein . 2And the court which is without the temple leave without , and measure it not ; for it hath been given unto the nations : and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months . 3And I will give unto my two witnesses , and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days , clothed in sackcloth . 4These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks , standing before the Lord of the earth . 5And if any man desireth to hurt them , fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devoureth their enemies ; and if any man shall desire to hurt them , in this manner must he be killed. 6These have the power to shut the heaven , that it rain not during the days of their prophecy : and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague , as often as they shall desire . 7And when they shall have finished their testimony , the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them , and overcome them , and kill them . 8And their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city , which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified . 9And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do men look upon their dead bodies three days and a half , and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb . 10And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them , and make merry ; and they shall send gifts one to another ; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth . 11And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them , and they stood upon their feet ; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them . 12And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them , Come up hither . And they went up into heaven in the cloud ; and their enemies beheld them . 13And in that hour there was a great earthquake , and the tenth part of the city fell ; and there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand persons : and the rest were affrighted , and gave glory to the God of heaven . 14The second Woe is past: behold , the third Woe cometh quickly .
The Seventh Trumpet
15And the seventh angel sounded ; and there followed great voices in heaven , and they said , The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord , and of his Christ : and he shall reign for ever and ever . 16And the four and twenty elders , who sit before God on their thrones , fell upon their faces and worshipped God , 17saying , We give thee thanks , O Lord God , the Almighty , who art and who wast; because thou hast taken thy great power , and didst reign . 18And the nations were wroth , and thy wrath came , and the time of the dead to be judged , and the time to give their reward to thy servants the prophets , and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name , the small and the great ; and to destroy them that destroy the earth . 19And there was opened the temple of God that is in heaven ; and there was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant ; and there followed lightnings, and voices , and thunders , and an earthquake , and great hail .
