The Two Witnesses

11I was given a stick for a measuring rod and told, "Get up and measure God's Temple and Altar and everyone worshiping in it.G2532G1325G3427G2563G3664G4464G2532G32G2476G3004G1453G2532G3354G3485G2316G2532G2379G2532G4352G1722G846 2Exclude the outside court; don't measure it. It's been handed over to non-Jewish outsiders. They'll desecrate the Holy City for forty-two months.G2532G833G3588G1855G2081G3485G1544G1854G2532G3354G846G3361G3754G1325G1484G2532G40G4172G3961G5062G1417G3376 3"Meanwhile, I'll provide my two Witnesses. Dressed in sackcloth, they'll prophesy for one thousand two hundred sixty days.G2532G1325G3450G1417G3144G2532G4395G5507G1250G1835G2250G4016G4526 4These are the two Olive Trees, the two Lampstands, standing at attention before God on earth.G3778G1526G1417G1636G2532G1417G3087G2476G1799G2316G1093 5If anyone tries to hurt them, a blast of fire from their mouths will incinerate them—burn them to a crisp just like that.G2532G1536G846G2309G91G846G4442G1607G1537G846G4750G2532G2719G846G2190G2532G1536G2309G91G846G1163G3779G615 6They'll have power to seal the sky so that it doesn't rain for the time of their prophesying, power to turn rivers and springs to blood, power to hit earth with any and every disaster as often as they want.G3778G2192G1849G2808G3772G3363G1026G5205G3363G1722G2250G846G4394G2532G2192G1849G1909G5204G4762G846G1519G129G2532G3960G1093G3956G4127G3740G1437G2309 7"When they've completed their witness, the Beast from the Abyss will emerge and fight them, conquer and kill them,G2532G3752G5055G846G3141G2342G305G1537G12G4160G4171G3326G846G2532G3528G846G2532G615G846 8leaving their corpses exposed on the street of the Great City spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, the same City where their Master was crucified.G2532G846G4430G1909G4113G3173G4172G3748G4153G2564G4670G2532G125G3699G2532G2257G2962G4717 9For three and a half days they'll be there—exposed, prevented from getting a decent burial, stared at by the curious from all over the world.G2532G991G1537G2992G2532G5443G2532G1100G2532G1484G991G846G4430G5140G2250G2532G2255G2532G863G3756G863G846G4430G5087G1519G3418 10Those people will cheer at the spectacle, shouting 'Good riddance!' and calling for a celebration, for these two prophets pricked the conscience of all the people on earth, made it impossible for them to enjoy their sins.G2532G2730G1909G1093G5463G1909G846G2532G2165G2532G3992G1435G240G3754G3778G1417G4396G928G2730G1909G1093 11"Then, after three and a half days, the Living Spirit of God will enter them—they're on their feet!—and all those gloating spectators will be scared to death."G2532G3326G5140G2250G2532G2255G4151G2222G1537G2316G1525G1909G846G2532G2476G1909G846G4228G2532G3173G5401G4098G1909G2334G846 12I heard a strong voice out of Heaven calling, "Come up here!" and up they went to Heaven, wrapped in a cloud, their enemies watching it all.G2532G191G3173G5456G1537G3772G3004G846G305G5602G2532G305G1519G3772G1722G3507G2532G846G2190G2334G846 13At that moment there was a gigantic earthquake—a tenth of the city fell to ruin, seven thousand perished in the earthquake, the rest frightened to the core of their being, frightened into giving honor to the God of Heaven.G2532G1722G1565G5610G1096G3173G4578G2532G1182G4172G4098G2532G1722G4578G615G3686G444G2033G5505G2532G3062G1096G1719G2532G1325G1391G2316G3772 14The second doom is past, the third doom coming right on its heels.G1208G3759G565G2532G2400G5154G3759G2064G5035

The Last Trumpet Sounds

15The seventh Angel trumpeted. A crescendo of voices in Heaven sang out, The kingdom of the world is now the Kingdom of our God and his Messiah! He will rule forever and ever!G2532G1442G32G4537G2532G1096G3173G5456G1722G3772G3004G932G2889G1096G2257G2962G2532G846G5547G2532G936G1519G165G165 16The Twenty-four Elders seated before God on their thrones fell to their knees, worshiped,G2532G5064G2532G1501G4245G3588G2521G1799G2316G1909G846G2362G4098G1909G846G4383G2532G4352G2316 17and sang, We thank you, O God, Sovereign-Strong, WHO IS AND WHO WAS. You took your great power and took over—reigned!G3004G2168G4671G2168G2962G2316G3841G3588G5607G3801G2532G2258G3801G2532G2064G3801G3754G2983G4675G3173G1411G2532G936 18The angry nations now get a taste of your anger. The time has come to judge the dead, to reward your servants, all prophets and saints, Reward small and great who fear your Name, and destroy the destroyers of earth.G2532G1484G3710G2532G4675G3709G2064G2532G2540G3498G2919G2532G1325G3408G4675G1401G4396G2532G40G2532G5399G4675G3686G3398G2532G3173G2532G1311G1311G1093 19The doors of God's Temple in Heaven flew open, and the Ark of his Covenant was clearly seen surrounded by flashes of lightning, loud shouts, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a fierce hailstorm.G2532G3485G2316G455G1722G3772G2532G3700G1722G846G3485G2787G846G1242G2532G1096G796G2532G5456G2532G1027G2532G4578G2532G3173G5464
