1And there was given me a reed like {unto} a rod; and the Angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship in it. 2But the court, which is outside {without} the temple, leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the nations {Gentiles}, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

3And I will give power 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 lampstands {candlesticks} standing before the God of the earth. 5And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies; and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 6These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy; and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9And they of the peoples and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not permit their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10And 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 on the earth. 11And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them who saw them. 12And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up here {hither}. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand; and the remnant were terrified {affrighted}, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14The second woe is past and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

15And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom {kingdoms} of this world is {are} become the kingdom {kingdoms} of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever. 16And the four and twenty elders, who sat before God on their thrones {seats}, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17Saying, We give Thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, Who art, and wast, and art to come, because Thou hast taken to Thee Thy great power, and hast reigned. 18And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that Thou shouldest give reward unto Thy servants, the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear Thy name, small and great, and shouldest destroy them who destroy the earth. 19And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His temple the ark of His covenant {testament}; and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunder-claps {thunderings}, and an earthquake, and great hail.
