Revelation 11 ASV - American Standard VersionChapter 11 of Revelation—American Standard Version (ASV)
- ¶ And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: [a]and one said, Rise, and measure the [b]temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
- And the court which is without the [c]temple [d]leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the [e]nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
- And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
- These are the two olive trees and the two [f]candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth.
- And if any man desireth to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devoureth their enemies; and if any man shall desire to hurt them, in this manner must he be killed.
- These have the power to shut the heaven, that it rain not 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, as often as they shall desire.
- And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.
- And their [g]dead bodies lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
- And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do men look upon their [h]dead bodies three days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.
- And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth.
- And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them.
- And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld 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 [i]1seven thousand persons: and the rest were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
- ¶ The second Woe is past: behold, the third Woe cometh quickly.
- ¶ And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said,
¶ The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign [j]for ever and ever. - ¶ And the four and twenty elders, who sit before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God,
- saying,
¶ We give thee thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art and who wast; because thou hast taken thy great power, and didst reign. - And the nations were wroth, and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and the time to give their reward to thy [k]servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy them that destroy the earth.
- ¶ And there was opened the [l]temple of God that is in heaven; and there was seen in his [m]temple the ark of his covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
