第十一章

两个见证人
1 有一根好像量尺的芦苇赐给了我，又有话说：“你起来，把　神的圣所和祭坛，以及在里面敬拜的人，都量一量、数一数。
2 但圣所外面的院子，不要量它，因为它已经给了外族人，他们要践踏圣城四十二个月。
3 我要赐能力给我那两个穿着麻衣的见证人，他们要传道一千二百六十天。”
4 他们就是站在全地之主面前的两棵橄榄树和两个灯台。
5 如果有人想要伤害他们，就有火从他们口中出来，吞灭他们的仇敌。凡是想要伤害他们的，都必这样被杀。
6 他们有权柄在他们传道的日子叫天闭塞不下雨，又有权柄掌管众水，使水变成血，并且有权柄可以随时随意用各样灾难击打全地。
7 他们作完了见证的时候，那从无底坑上来的兽要跟他们作战，胜过他们，把他们杀死。
8 他们的尸首要倒在大城的街道上。这城按着寓意叫所多玛，又叫埃及，就是他们的主被钉十字架的地方。
9 从各民族、各支派、各方言和各邦国中，都有人观看他们的尸首三天半，又不许人把尸首安放在坟墓里。
10 住在地上的人为了他们的缘故，就欢喜快乐，彼此送礼，因为这两位先知曾经使他们受痛苦。
11 过了三天半，有生命的气息从　神那里来，进入他们里面，他们就站立起来，看见他们的人都非常惧怕。
12 他们听见从天上来的大声音，说：“上这里来！”他们就驾着云上了天，他们的仇敌也看见了。
13 就在那时，大地震发生了，那座城倒塌了十分之一，因着地震而死的有七千人，其余的人都很害怕，就把荣耀归给天上的　神。
14 第二样灾祸过去了。看哪，第三样灾祸快要到了！

吹第七枝号
15 第七位天使吹号，天上就有大声音说：“世上的国成了我们的主和他所立的基督的国，他要作王，直到永永远远！”
16 那在　神面前，坐在自己座位上的二十四位长老，都面伏在地上敬拜　神，
17 说：“主啊！全能的　神，昔在今在的，我们感谢你！因为你执掌了大权，作王了！
18 列国忿怒了！你的震怒也临到了！时候已经到了！死人要受审判！你的众仆人、先知、圣徒，和所有老幼贵贱、敬畏你名的人，都要得赏赐！你也要毁灭那些败坏全地的人！”
19 于是，在天上　神的圣所开了，他的约柜就在他的圣所中显现出来。随即有闪电、响声、雷轰、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.
