The Revelation (of Saint John the Divine )

And a reed like a staff was given to me, and the angel stood, saying, Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those worshiping in it.

And I will give to My two witnesses, and they will prophesy a thousand, two hundred and sixty days, dressed [in] sackcloth.

These are the two olive trees, and the two lampstands, standing before the God of the earth.

And if anyone desires to harm them, fire comes out of their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone desires to harm them, so it is right for him to be killed.

These have the authority to shut up the heaven, that no rain may rain in the days of their prophecy. And they have authority over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

And when they complete their witness, the beast coming up out of the abyss will make war with them, and will overcome them, and will kill them.

And their bodies [will be] on the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom, and Egypt, where our Lord was crucified.

And some from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will see their dead bodies three days and a half; and they do not allow their dead bodies to be put in tombs.

And those living on the earth will rejoice over them, and will make merry. And they will send one another gifts, because these two prophets tormented those living on the earth.

And after three days and a half, a spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. And great fear fell on the ones beholding them.

And they heard a great voice out of Heaven saying to them, Come up here. And they went up into the heaven in the cloud. And their enemies saw them.

And in that hour a great earthquake occurred, and the tenth [part] of the city fell. And there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand names of men. And the rest became terrified, and gave glory to the God of Heaven.

The second woe departed. And, behold, the third woe is coming quickly.

And the seventh angel trumpeted. And there were great voices in Heaven, saying, The kingdoms of the world became our Lord's, even of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever.

And the twenty four elders sitting before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God,

saying, We thank You, Lord God Almighty, the [One] who is, and who was, and who is coming, because You took Your great power and reigned.

And the nations were full of wrath; and Your wrath came, and the time of the judging of the dead, and to give the reward to Your slaves, to the prophets, and to the saints, and to the ones fearing Your name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy those destroying the earth.

And the temple of God in Heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple, and lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and earthquake, and a great hail occurred.
