* Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff , and I was told : "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there , * but do not measure the court outside the temple ; leave that out , for it is given over to the nations , and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months . * And I will grant my two witnesses power to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days , clothed in sackcloth ." * These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth . * And if any one would harm them , fire pours out from their mouth and consumes their foes ; if any one would harm them , thus he is doomed to be killed . * They have power to shut the sky , that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying , and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood , and to smite the earth with every plague , as often as they desire . * And when they have finished their testimony , the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them , * and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt , where their Lord was crucified . * For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb , * and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents , because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth . * But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them , and they stood up on their feet , and great fear fell on those who saw them . * Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them , "Come up hither !" And in the sight of their foes they went up to heaven in a cloud . * And at that hour there was a great earthquake , and a tenth of the city fell ; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake , and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven . * The second woe has passed ; behold , the third woe is soon to come . * Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet , and there were loud voices in heaven , saying , "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ , and he shall reign for ever and ever ." * And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God , * saying , "We give thanks to thee , Lord God Almighty , who art and who wast , that thou hast taken thy great power and begun to reign . * The nations raged , but thy wrath came , and the time for the dead to be judged , for rewarding thy servants , the prophets and saints , and those who fear thy name , both small and great , and for destroying the destroyers of the earth ." * Then God 's temple in heaven was opened , and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple ; and there were flashes of lightning , voices , peals of thunder , an earthquake , and heavy hail .
