¹A 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.

KJVAnd^G2532 there was given^G1325^(G5681) me^G3427 a reed^G2563 like^G3664 unto a rod^G4464: and^G2532 the angel^G32 stood^G2476^(G5715), saying^G3004^(G5723), Rise^G1453^(G5669), and^G2532 measure^G3354^(G5657) the temple^G3485 of God^G2316, and^G2532 the altar^G2379, and^G2532 them that worship^G4352^(G5723) therein^G1722^G846.

² Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.

KJVBut^G2532 the court^G833 which^G3588 is without^G1855^G2081 the temple^G3485 leave^G1544^(G5628) out^G1854, and^G2532 measure^G3354^(G5661) it^G846 not^G3361; for^G3754 it is given^G1325^(G5681) unto the Gentiles^G1484: and^G2532 the holy^G40 city^G4172 shall they tread under foot^G3961^(G5692) forty^G5062 and two^G1417 months^G3376.

³ I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

KJVAnd^G2532 I will give^G1325^(G5692) power unto my^G3450 two^G1417 witnesses^G3144, and^G2532 they shall prophesy^G4395^(G5692) a thousand^G5507 two hundred^G1250 and threescore^G1835 days^G2250, clothed in^G4016^(G5772) sackcloth^G4526.

⁴ These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands, standing before the Lord of the earth.

KJVThese^G3778 are^G1526^(G5748) the two^G1417 olive^G1636 trees, and^G2532 the two^G1417 candlesticks^G3087 standing^G2476^(G5761) before^G1799 the God^G2316 of the earth^G1093.

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.

KJVAnd^G2532 if any man^G1536^G846 will^G2309^(G5725) hurt^G91^(G5658) them^G846, fire^G4442 proceedeth^G1607^(G5736) out of^G1537 their^G846 mouth^G4750, and^G2532 devoureth^G2719^(G5719) their^G846 enemies^G2190: and^G2532 if any man^G1536 will^G2309^(G5725) hurt^G91^(G5658) them^G846, he must^G1163^(G5748) in this manner^G3779 be killed^G615^(G5683).

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 earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

KJVThese^G3778 have^G2192^(G5719) power^G1849 to shut^G2808^(G5658) heaven^G3772, that^G3363 it rain^G1026^(G5725)^G5205 not^G3363 in^G1722 the days^G2250 of their^G846 prophecy^G4394: and^G2532 have^G2192^(G5719) power^G1849 over^G1909 waters^G5204 to turn^G4762^(G5721) them^G846 to^G1519 blood^G129, and^G2532 to smite^G3960^(G5658) the earth^G1093 with all^G3956 plagues^G4127, as often^G3740 as^G1437 they will^G2309^(G5661).

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.

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G3752 they shall have finished^G5055^(G5661) their^G846 testimony^G3141, the beast^G2342 that ascendeth^G305^(G5723) out of^G1537 the bottomless pit^G12 shall make^G4160^(G5692) war^G4171 against^G3326 them^G846, and^G2532 shall overcome^G3528^(G5692) them^G846, and^G2532 kill^G615^(G5692) them^G846.

⁸ Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

KJVAnd^G2532 their^G846 dead bodies^G4430 shall lie in^G1909 the street^G4113 of the great^G3173 city^G4172, which^G3748 spiritually^G4153 is called^G2564^(G5743) Sodom^G4670 and^G2532 Egypt^G125, where^G3699 also^G2532 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 was crucified^G4717^(G5681).

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.

KJVAnd^G2532 they^G991 of^G1537 the people^G2992 and^G2532 kindreds^G5443 and^G2532 tongues^G1100 and^G2532 nations^G1484 shall see^G991^(G5692) their^G846 dead bodies^G4430 three^G5140 days^G2250 and^G2532 an half^G2255, and^G2532 shall^G863 not^G3756 suffer^G863^(G5692) their^G846 dead bodies^G4430 to be put^G5087^(G5683) in^G1519 graves^G3418.

¹⁰ Those who dwell on the earth will 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 earth.

KJVAnd^G2532 they that dwell^G2730^(G5723) upon^G1909 the earth^G1093 shall rejoice^G5463^(G5692) over^G1909 them^G846, and^G2532 make merry^G2165^(G5701), and^G2532 shall send^G3992^(G5692) gifts^G1435 one to another^G240; because^G3754 these^G3778 two^G1417 prophets^G4396 tormented^G928^(G5656) them that dwelt^G2730^(G5723) on^G1909 the earth^G1093.

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.

KJVAnd^G2532 after^G3326 three^G5140 days^G2250 and^G2532 an half^G2255 the Spirit^G4151 of life^G2222 from^G1537 God^G2316 entered^G1525^(G5627) into^G1909 them^G846, and^G2532 they stood^G2476^(G5627) upon^G1909 their^G846 feet^G4228; and^G2532 great^G3173 fear^G5401 fell^G4098^(G5627) upon^G1909 them which saw^G2334^(G5723) them^G846.

¹² I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” They went up into heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.

KJVAnd^G2532 they heard^G191^(G5656) a great^G3173 voice^G5456 from^G1537 heaven^G3772 saying^G3004^(G5723) unto them^G846, Come up^G305^(G5628) hither^G5602. And^G2532 they ascended up^G305^(G5627) to^G1519 heaven^G3772 in^G1722 a cloud^G3507; and^G2532 their^G846 enemies^G2190 beheld^G2334^(G5656) them^G846.

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.

KJVAnd^G2532 the same^G1722^G1565 hour^G5610 was there^G1096^(G5633) a great^G3173 earthquake^G4578, and^G2532 the tenth part^G1182 of the city^G4172 fell^G4098^(G5627), and^G2532 in^G1722 the earthquake^G4578 were slain^G615^(G5681)^G3686 of men^G444 seven^G2033 thousand^G5505: and^G2532 the remnant^G3062 were^G1096^(G5633) affrighted^G1719, and^G2532 gave^G1325^(G5656) glory^G1391 to the God^G2316 of heaven^G3772.

¹⁴ The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.

KJVThe second^G1208 woe^G3759 is past^G565^(G5627); and^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), the third^G5154 woe^G3759 cometh^G2064^(G5736) quickly^G5035.

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 Christ. He will reign forever and ever!”

KJVAnd^G2532 the seventh^G1442 angel^G32 sounded^G4537^(G5656); and^G2532 there were^G1096^(G5633) great^G3173 voices^G5456 in^G1722 heaven^G3772, saying^G3004^(G5723), The kingdoms^G932 of this world^G2889 are become^G1096^(G5633) the kingdoms of our^G2257 Lord^G2962, and^G2532 of his^G846 Christ^G5547; and^G2532 he shall reign^G936^(G5692) for^G1519 ever^G165 and ever^G165.

¹⁶ The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God’s throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God,

KJVAnd^G2532 the four^G5064 and^G2532 twenty^G1501 elders^G4245, which^G3588 sat^G2521^(G5740) before^G1799 God^G2316 on^G1909 their^G846 seats^G2362, fell^G4098^(G5627) upon^G1909 their^G846 faces^G4383, and^G2532 worshipped^G4352^(G5656) God^G2316,

¹⁷ saying: “We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and reigned.

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), We give^G2168 thee^G4671 thanks^G2168^(G5719), O Lord^G2962 God^G2316 Almighty^G3841, which^G3588 art^G5607^(G5752)^(G5625)^G3801, and^G2532 wast^G2258^(G5713)^(G5625)^G3801, and^G2532 art to come^G2064^(G5740)^(G5625)^G3801; because^G3754 thou hast taken to thee^G2983^(G5758) thy^G4675 great^G3173 power^G1411, and^G2532 hast reigned^G936^(G5656).

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 saints and those who fear your name, to the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

KJVAnd^G2532 the nations^G1484 were angry^G3710^(G5681), and^G2532 thy^G4675 wrath^G3709 is come^G2064^(G5627), and^G2532 the time^G2540 of the dead^G3498, that they should be judged^G2919^(G5683), and^G2532 that thou shouldest give^G1325^(G5629) reward^G3408 unto thy^G4675 servants^G1401 the prophets^G4396, and^G2532 to the saints^G40, and^G2532 them that fear^G5399^(G5740) thy^G4675 name^G3686, small^G3398 and^G2532 great^G3173; and^G2532 shouldest destroy^G1311^(G5658) them which destroy^G1311^(G5723) the earth^G1093.

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.

¹I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

KJVAnd^G2532 I saw^G1492^(G5627) another^G243 mighty^G2478 angel^G32 come down^G2597^(G5723) from^G1537 heaven^G3772, clothed^G4016^(G5772) with a cloud^G3507: and^G2532 a rainbow^G2463 was upon^G1909 his^G846 head^G2776, and^G2532 his^G846 face^G4383 was as it were^G5613 the sun^G2246, and^G2532 his^G846 feet^G4228 as^G5613 pillars^G4769 of fire^G4442:

² He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.

KJVAnd^G2532 he had^G2192^(G5707) in^G1722 his^G846 hand^G5495 a little book^G974 open^G455^(G5772): and^G2532 he set^G5087^(G5656) his^G846 right^G1188 foot^G4228 upon^G1909 the sea^G2281, and^G1161 his left^G2176 foot on^G1909 the earth^G1093,

³ He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.

KJVAnd^G2532 cried^G2896^(G5656) with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456, as^G5618 when a lion^G3023 roareth^G3455^(G5736): and^G2532 when^G3753 he had cried^G2896^(G5656), seven^G2033 thunders^G1027 uttered^G2980^(G5656) their^G1438 voices^G5456.

⁴ When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don’t write them.”

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G3753 the seven^G2033 thunders^G1027 had uttered^G2980^(G5656) their^G1438 voices^G5456, I was about^G3195^(G5707) to write^G1125^(G5721): and^G2532 I heard^G191^(G5656) a voice^G5456 from^G1537 heaven^G3772 saying^G3004^(G5723) unto me^G3427, Seal up^G4972^(G5657) those things which^G3739 the seven^G2033 thunders^G1027 uttered^G2980^(G5656), and^G2532 write^G1125^(G5661) them^G5023 not^G3361.

KJVAnd^G2532 the angel^G32 which^G3739 I saw^G1492^(G5627) stand^G2476^(G5761) upon^G1909 the sea^G2281 and^G2532 upon^G1909 the earth^G1093 lifted up^G142^(G5656) his^G846 hand^G5495 to^G1519 heaven^G3772,

⁶ and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay,

KJVAnd^G2532 sware^G3660^(G5656) by^G1722 him that liveth^G2198^(G5723) for^G1519 ever^G165 and ever^G165, who^G3739 created^G2936^(G5656) heaven^G3772, and^G2532 the things that therein are^G1722^G846, and^G2532 the earth^G1093, and^G2532 the things that therein are^G1722^G846, and^G2532 the sea^G2281, and^G2532 the things which are therein^G1722^G846, that^G3754 there should be^G2071^(G5704) time^G5550 no^G3756 longer^G2089:

⁷ but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants the prophets.

KJVBut^G235 in^G1722 the days^G2250 of the voice^G5456 of the seventh^G1442 angel^G32, when^G3752 he shall begin^G3195^(G5725) to sound^G4537^(G5721),^G2532 the mystery^G3466 of God^G2316 should be finished^G5055^(G5686), as^G5613 he hath declared^G2097^(G5656) to his^G1438 servants^G1401 the prophets^G4396.

⁹ I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”

KJVAnd^G2532 I went^G565^(G5627) unto^G4314 the angel^G32, and said^G3004^(G5723) unto him^G846, Give^G1325^(G5628) me^G3427 the little book^G974.

KJVAnd^G2532 I took^G2983^(G5627) the little book^G974 out of^G1537 the angel's^G32 hand^G5495, and^G2532 ate^G2719 it^G846 up^G2719^(G5627); and^G2532 it was^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 my^G3450 mouth^G4750 sweet^G1099 as^G5613 honey^G3192: and^G2532 as soon as^G3753 I had eaten^G5315^(G5627) it^G846, my^G3450 belly^G2836 was bitter^G4087^(G5681).

¹¹ They told me, “You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G3004^(G5719) unto me^G3427, Thou^G4571 must^G1163^(G5748) prophesy^G4395^(G5658) again^G3825 before^G1909 many^G4183 peoples^G2992, and^G2532 nations^G1484, and^G2532 tongues^G1100, and^G2532 kings^G935.
