Book of Revelation, Chapter 11
Revelation 11 NASB - New American Standard Bible Chapter 11 of Revelation—New American Standard Bible (NASB)
- ¶ Then there was given me a [a]1measuring rod like a staff; [b]and 2someone said, “Get up and measure the [c]temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it.
- [d]Leave out the 3court which is outside the [e]temple and do not measure it, for 4it has been given to the nations; and they will 5tread under foot 6the holy city for 7forty-two months.
- And I will grant authority to my two 8witnesses, and they will prophesy for 9twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in 10sackcloth.”
- These are the 11two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
- And if anyone wants to harm them, 12fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, 13he must be killed in this way.
- These have the power to 14shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during 15the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to 16turn them into blood, and 17to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
- ¶ When they have finished their testimony, 18the beast that comes up out of the 19abyss will 20make war with them, and overcome them and kill them.
- And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the 21great city which [f]mystically is called 22Sodom and 23Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
- Those from 24the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead [g]bodies for three and a half days, and [h]25will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.
- And 26those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will 27send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented 28those who dwell on the earth.
- ¶ But after the three and a half days, 29the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them.
- And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “30Come up here.” Then they 31went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them.
- And in that hour there was a great 32earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; [i]seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and 33gave glory to the 34God of heaven.
- ¶ The second 35woe is past; behold, the third woe is coming quickly.
- ¶ Then the 36seventh angel sounded; and there were 37loud voices in heaven, saying,
¶ “38The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of 39His [j]Christ; and 40He will reign forever and ever.” - And the twenty-four elders, who 41sit on their thrones before God, 42fell on their faces and worshiped God,
- saying,
¶ “We give You thanks, 43O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to 44reign. - And 45the nations were enraged, and 46Your wrath came, and 47the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to [k]reward Your 48bond-servants the prophets and the [l]saints and those who fear Your name, 49the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
- ¶ And 50the [m]temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and 51the ark of His covenant appeared in His [n]temple, and there were flashes of 52lightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a 53great [o]hailstorm.
