* And there was given me a reed like to a rod , and a voice said to me . "Go and measure the temple of God , and the altar , and those who are worshiping therein . * But the court which is outside the temple , omit , and do not measure that , for it has been given up to the Gentiles , and they shall tread under foot the Holy City for forty and two months . * And I will give power to my two witnesses , and clothed in sackcloth they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days . * "These are the two olive trees , and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth . * When any one wishes to hurt them , fire comes from their mouth and devours their enemies ; and if any man wishes to hurt them , in this manner he must be killed . * These have power to shut heaven so that it does not rain 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 . * "And when they shall have finished their testimony , the beast that is coming up out of the bottomless pit will make war with them , and overcome them , and kill them . * And their dead bodies lie in the streets of the great city whose mystical name is Sodom and Egypt - where also their Lord was crucified . * For three days and a half men of all peoples , and tribes , and languages , and nations , look upon their dead bodies , and refuse to let their dead bodies be laid in a tomb . * "And those who dwell on the earth are rejoicing over them , and making merry ; and they will send gifts to one another ; because these two prophets were a torment to those who dwell on the earth . * And after three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them , and they stood on their feet , and great fear fell upon them . * And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them , "Come up hither ," and they went up to heaven on a cloud , while their enemies watched them . * And 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 frightened and gave glory to the God of heaven . * "The second woe is passed ; and there is a third woe soon to follow ."
