The Two Witnesses

1And a reed like a rod was given unto me: saying, Arise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those worshiping in it. 2And the outer court of the temple leave out, and measure it not; because it is given to the Gentiles: and they will tread down the holy city forty-two months. 3And I will give to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. 4These are the two olive-trees, and the two candlesticks which are standing before the Lord of the earth. 5And if any one wishes to hurt them, fire goes forth out of their mouth, and devours their enemies: and if any one wishes to hurt them, thus it behooves him to be killed. 6They have power to shut up the heaven, that the rain may not fall 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, so often as they may wish.

The Witnesses Killed and Raised

7And when they may finish their testimony, the beast which ascends up out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, and conquer them, and slay them. 8And their dead body will lie in the street of the great city, which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where the Lord also was crucified. 9And those of the peoples and of tribes and of the tongues and of the nations see their dead body three days and a half, and do not suffer their bodies to be put in a sepulchre. 10And those dwelling on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry, and send gifts to one another; because these prophets tormented those dwelling upon the earth.

11And after three and a half days the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell on those seeing them. 12And they heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to them, Come up hither; and they ascended up into the heaven in a cloud; and their enemies saw them. 13And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city fell, and there were killed by the earthquake seven thousand persons: and the rest were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of the heaven.

14The second Woe is passed; behold, the third woe comes quickly.

The Seventh Trumpet

15And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in the heaven, saying, The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and his Christ; and he will reign until the ages of the ages. 16And the twenty-four elders, who are before God, who sit upon their thrones, fell upon their faces, and worshiped God, 17saying, We praise thee, O Lord God Omnipotent who is, and who was; and that thou hast received thy great power, and reigned. 18And the nations were wroth, and thy wrath has come, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to those who fear thy name, to the small and to the great; and to destroy them that destroy the earth.

19And the temple of God was opened in the heaven and the ark of His covenant was seen in his temple, and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and earthquakes, and a great hail.
