第十一章

兩個見證人
1 有一根好像量尺的蘆葦賜給了我，又有話說：“你起來，把　神的聖所和祭壇，以及在裡面敬拜的人，都量一量、數一數。
2 但聖所外面的院子，不要量它，因為它已經給了外族人，他們要踐踏聖城四十二個月。
3 我要賜能力給我那兩個穿着麻衣的見證人，他們要傳道一千二百六十天。”
4 他們就是站在全地之主面前的兩棵橄欖樹和兩個燈台。
5 如果有人想要傷害他們，就有火從他們口中出來，吞滅他們的仇敵。凡是想要傷害他們的，都必這樣被殺。
6 他們有權柄在他們傳道的日子叫天閉塞不下雨，又有權柄掌管眾水，使水變成血，並且有權柄可以隨時隨意用各樣災難擊打全地。
7 他們作完了見證的時候，那從無底坑上來的獸要跟他們作戰，勝過他們，把他們殺死。
8 他們的屍首要倒在大城的街道上。這城按着寓意叫所多瑪，又叫埃及，就是他們的主被釘十字架的地方。
9 從各民族、各支派、各方言和各邦國中，都有人觀看他們的屍首三天半，又不許人把屍首安放在墳墓里。
10 住在地上的人為了他們的緣故，就歡喜快樂，彼此送禮，因為這兩位先知曾經使他們受痛苦。
11 過了三天半，有生命的氣息從　神那裡來，進入他們裡面，他們就站立起來，看見他們的人都非常懼怕。
12 他們聽見從天上來的大聲音，說：“上這裡來！”他們就駕着雲上了天，他們的仇敵也看見了。
13 就在那時，大地震發生了，那座城倒塌了十分之一，因着地震而死的有七千人，其餘的人都很害怕，就把榮耀歸給天上的　神。
14 第二樣災禍過去了。看哪，第三樣災禍快要到了！

吹第七枝號
15 第七位天使吹號，天上就有大聲音說：“世上的國成了我們的主和他所立的基督的國，他要作王，直到永永遠遠！”
16 那在　神面前，坐在自己座位上的二十四位長老，都面伏在地上敬拜　神，
17 說：“主啊！全能的　神，昔在今在的，我們感謝你！因為你執掌了大權，作王了！
18 列國忿怒了！你的震怒也臨到了！時候已經到了！死人要受審判！你的眾僕人、先知、聖徒，和所有老幼貴賤、敬畏你名的人，都要得賞賜！你也要毀滅那些敗壞全地的人！”
19 於是，在天上　神的聖所開了，他的約櫃就在他的聖所中顯現出來。隨即有閃電、響聲、雷轟、地震、大冰雹。

1 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there.
2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.
3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth."
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.
6 These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them.
8 Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
9 For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.
10 The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
11 But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them.
12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.
13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.
15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever."
16 And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God,
17 saying: "We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.
18 The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great--and for destroying those who destroy the earth."
19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm.
