The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 11
{11:1} A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, "Rise, and
measure God's temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
{11:2} Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't
measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the
holy city under foot for forty-two months. {11:3} I will give power to
my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred
sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." {11:4} These are the two olive
trees and the two menorot, standing before the Lord of the
[1>]eretz[<1]. {11:5} If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds
out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to
harm them, he must be killed in this way. {11:6} These have the power
to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their
prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood,
and to strike the [2>]eretz[<2] with every plague, as often as they
desire. {11:7} When they have finished their testimony, the beast that
comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them,
and kill them. {11:8} Their dead bodies will be in the street of the
great city, which spiritually is called Sedom and Mitzrayim, where
also their Lord was crucified. {11:9} From among the peoples, tribes,
languages, and nations people will look at their dead bodies for three
and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a
tomb. {11:10} Those who dwell on the [3>]eretz[<3] rejoice over them,
and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because
these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the [4>]eretz[<4].
{11:11} After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God
entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on
those who saw them. {11:12} I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to
them, "Come up here!" They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their
enemies saw them. {11:13} In that day there was a great earthquake,
and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the
earthquake, and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of
heaven. {11:14} The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes
quickly.
{11:15} The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven
followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of
our Lord, and of his Messiah. He will reign forever and ever!"
{11:16} The twenty-four Zakenim, who sit on their thrones before
God's throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God, {11:17} saying:
"We give you thanks, Lord God, [5>]Shaddai[<5], the one who is and who
was; because you have taken your great power, and reigned. {11:18} The
nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead
to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their
reward, as well as to the holy ones, and those who fear your name, to
the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the
[6>]eretz[<6]."
{11:19} God's temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of
the Lord's covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds,
thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.
