Revelation 11
WEB·Revelation 11
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.
KJVAndG2532 there was givenG1325(G5681) meG3427 a reedG2563 likeG3664 unto a rodG4464: andG2532 the angelG32 stoodG2476(G5715), sayingG3004(G5723), RiseG1453(G5669), andG2532 measureG3354(G5657) the templeG3485 of GodG2316, andG2532 the altarG2379, andG2532 them that worshipG4352(G5723) thereinG1722G846.
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.
KJVButG2532 the courtG833 whichG3588 is withoutG1855G2081 the templeG3485 leaveG1544(G5628) outG1854, andG2532 measureG3354(G5661) itG846 notG3361; forG3754 it is givenG1325(G5681) unto the GentilesG1484: andG2532 the holyG40 cityG4172 shall they tread under footG3961(G5692) fortyG5062 and twoG1417 monthsG3376.
3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
KJVAndG2532 I will giveG1325(G5692) power unto myG3450 twoG1417 witnessesG3144, andG2532 they shall prophesyG4395(G5692) a thousandG5507 two hundredG1250 and threescoreG1835 daysG2250, clothed inG4016(G5772) sackclothG4526.
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands, standing before the Lord of the earth.
KJVTheseG3778 areG1526(G5748) the twoG1417 oliveG1636 trees, andG2532 the twoG1417 candlesticksG3087 standingG2476(G5761) beforeG1799 the GodG2316 of the earthG1093.
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.
KJVAndG2532 if any manG1536G846 willG2309(G5725) hurtG91(G5658) themG846, fireG4442 proceedethG1607(G5736) out ofG1537 theirG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 devourethG2719(G5719) theirG846 enemiesG2190: andG2532 if any manG1536 willG2309(G5725) hurtG91(G5658) themG846, he mustG1163(G5748) in this mannerG3779 be killedG615(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.
KJVTheseG3778 haveG2192(G5719) powerG1849 to shutG2808(G5658) heavenG3772, thatG3363 it rainG1026(G5725)G5205 notG3363 inG1722 the daysG2250 of theirG846 prophecyG4394: andG2532 haveG2192(G5719) powerG1849 overG1909 watersG5204 to turnG4762(G5721) themG846 toG1519 bloodG129, andG2532 to smiteG3960(G5658) the earthG1093 with allG3956 plaguesG4127, as oftenG3740 asG1437 they willG2309(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.
KJVAndG2532 whenG3752 they shall have finishedG5055(G5661) theirG846 testimonyG3141, the beastG2342 that ascendethG305(G5723) out ofG1537 the bottomless pitG12 shall makeG4160(G5692) warG4171 againstG3326 themG846, andG2532 shall overcomeG3528(G5692) themG846, andG2532 killG615(G5692) themG846.
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.
KJVAndG2532 theirG846 dead bodiesG4430 shall lie inG1909 the streetG4113 of the greatG3173 cityG4172, whichG3748 spirituallyG4153 is calledG2564(G5743) SodomG4670 andG2532 EgyptG125, whereG3699 alsoG2532 ourG2257 LordG2962 was crucifiedG4717(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.
KJVAndG2532 theyG991 ofG1537 the peopleG2992 andG2532 kindredsG5443 andG2532 tonguesG1100 andG2532 nationsG1484 shall seeG991(G5692) theirG846 dead bodiesG4430 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 an halfG2255, andG2532 shallG863 notG3756 sufferG863(G5692) theirG846 dead bodiesG4430 to be putG5087(G5683) inG1519 gravesG3418.
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.
KJVAndG2532 they that dwellG2730(G5723) uponG1909 the earthG1093 shall rejoiceG5463(G5692) overG1909 themG846, andG2532 make merryG2165(G5701), andG2532 shall sendG3992(G5692) giftsG1435 one to anotherG240; becauseG3754 theseG3778 twoG1417 prophetsG4396 tormentedG928(G5656) them that dweltG2730(G5723) onG1909 the earthG1093.
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.
KJVAndG2532 afterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 an halfG2255 the SpiritG4151 of lifeG2222 fromG1537 GodG2316 enteredG1525(G5627) intoG1909 themG846, andG2532 they stoodG2476(G5627) uponG1909 theirG846 feetG4228; andG2532 greatG3173 fearG5401 fellG4098(G5627) uponG1909 them which sawG2334(G5723) themG846.
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.
KJVAndG2532 they heardG191(G5656) a greatG3173 voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772 sayingG3004(G5723) unto themG846, Come upG305(G5628) hitherG5602. AndG2532 they ascended upG305(G5627) toG1519 heavenG3772 inG1722 a cloudG3507; andG2532 theirG846 enemiesG2190 beheldG2334(G5656) themG846.
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.
KJVAndG2532 the sameG1722G1565 hourG5610 was thereG1096(G5633) a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, andG2532 the tenth partG1182 of the cityG4172 fellG4098(G5627), andG2532 inG1722 the earthquakeG4578 were slainG615(G5681)G3686 of menG444 sevenG2033 thousandG5505: andG2532 the remnantG3062 wereG1096(G5633) affrightedG1719, andG2532 gaveG1325(G5656) gloryG1391 to the GodG2316 of heavenG3772.
14 The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.
KJVThe secondG1208 woeG3759 is pastG565(G5627); andG2532, beholdG2400(G5628), the thirdG5154 woeG3759 comethG2064(G5736) quicklyG5035.
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!”
KJVAndG2532 the seventhG1442 angelG32 soundedG4537(G5656); andG2532 there wereG1096(G5633) greatG3173 voicesG5456 inG1722 heavenG3772, sayingG3004(G5723), The kingdomsG932 of this worldG2889 are becomeG1096(G5633) the kingdoms of ourG2257 LordG2962, andG2532 of hisG846 ChristG5547; andG2532 he shall reignG936(G5692) forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
16 The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God’s throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God,
KJVAndG2532 the fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245, whichG3588 satG2521(G5740) beforeG1799 GodG2316 onG1909 theirG846 seatsG2362, fellG4098(G5627) uponG1909 theirG846 facesG4383, andG2532 worshippedG4352(G5656) GodG2316,
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.
KJVSayingG3004(G5723), We giveG2168 theeG4671 thanksG2168(G5719), O LordG2962 GodG2316 AlmightyG3841, whichG3588 artG5607(G5752)(G5625)G3801, andG2532 wastG2258(G5713)(G5625)G3801, andG2532 art to comeG2064(G5740)(G5625)G3801; becauseG3754 thou hast taken to theeG2983(G5758) thyG4675 greatG3173 powerG1411, andG2532 hast reignedG936(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.”
KJVAndG2532 the nationsG1484 were angryG3710(G5681), andG2532 thyG4675 wrathG3709 is comeG2064(G5627), andG2532 the timeG2540 of the deadG3498, that they should be judgedG2919(G5683), andG2532 that thou shouldest giveG1325(G5629) rewardG3408 unto thyG4675 servantsG1401 the prophetsG4396, andG2532 to the saintsG40, andG2532 them that fearG5399(G5740) thyG4675 nameG3686, smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173; andG2532 shouldest destroyG1311(G5658) them which destroyG1311(G5723) the earthG1093.
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.
KJVAndG2532 the templeG3485 of GodG2316 was openedG455(G5648) inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 there was seenG3700(G5681) inG1722 hisG846 templeG3485 the arkG2787 of hisG846 testamentG1242: andG2532 there wereG1096(G5633) lightningsG796, andG2532 voicesG5456, andG2532 thunderingsG1027, andG2532 an earthquakeG4578, andG2532 greatG3173 hailG5464.
