Chapter 11 of RevelationNew American Standard Bible (NASB)



  1. ¶ 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.
  2. [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.
  3. And I will grant authority to my two 8witnesses, and they will prophesy for 9twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in 10sackcloth.”
  4. These are the 11two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. ¶ 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. ¶ 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. ¶ The second 35woe is past; behold, the third woe is coming quickly.
  15. ¶ 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.”
  16. And the twenty-four elders, who 41sit on their thrones before God, 42fell on their faces and worshiped God,
  17. 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.
  18. 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.”
  19. ¶ 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.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.
