The Two Witnesses

11 I was given a reed like a measuring rod^{#cen-NIV-30874A" title="See cross-reference A - A )'>} and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. ² But exclude the outer court;^{#cen-NIV-30875B" title="See cross-reference B - B )'>} do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles.^{#cen-NIV-30875C" title="See cross-reference C - C )'>} They will trample on the holy city^{#cen-NIV-30875D" title="See cross-reference D - D )'>} for 42 months.^{#cen-NIV-30875E" title="See cross-reference E - E )'>3} And I will appoint my two witnesses,^{#cen-NIV-30876F" title="See cross-reference F - F )'>} and they will prophesy for 1,260 days,^{#cen-NIV-30876G" title="See cross-reference G - G )'>} clothed in sackcloth.”^{#cen-NIV-30876H" title="See cross-reference H - H )'> 4} They are “the two olive trees”^{#cen-NIV-30877I" title="See cross-reference I - I )'>} and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.” ⁵ If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies.^{#cen-NIV-30878K" title="See cross-reference K - K )'>} This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.^{#cen-NIV-30878L" title="See cross-reference L - L )'> 6} They have power to shut up the heavens^{#cen-NIV-30879M" title="See cross-reference M - M )'>} so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying;^{#cen-NIV-30879N" title="See cross-reference N - N )'>}and they have power to turn the waters into blood^{#cen-NIV-30879O" title="See cross-reference O - O )'>} 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^{#cen-NIV-30880P" title="See cross-reference P - P )'>} that comes up from the Abyss^{#cen-NIV-30880Q" title="See cross-reference Q - Q )'>} will attack them,^{#cen-NIV-30880R" title="See cross-reference R - R )'>} and overpower and kill them. ⁸ Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city^{#cen-NIV-30881S" title="See cross-reference S - S )'>}—which is figuratively called Sodom^{#cen-NIV-30881T" title="See cross-reference T - T )'>} and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified.^{#cen-NIV-30881U" title="See cross-reference U - U )'>9} For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation^{#cen-NIV-30882V" title="See cross-reference V - V )'>} will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.^{#cen-NIV-30882W" title="See cross-reference W - W )'> 10} The inhabitants of the earth^{#cen-NIV-30883X" title="See cross-reference X - X )'>} will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts,^{#cen-NIV-30883Y" title="See cross-reference Y - Y )'>} because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

¹¹ But after the three and a half days^{#cen-NIV-30884Z" title="See cross-reference Z - Z )'>} the breath of life from God entered them,^{#cen-NIV-30884AA" title="See cross-reference AA - AA )'>} 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.”^{#cen-NIV-30885AB" title="See cross-reference AB - AB )'>} And they went up to heaven in a cloud,^{#cen-NIV-30885AC" title="See cross-reference AC - AC )'>} while their enemies looked on.

¹³ At that very hour there was a severe earthquake^{#cen-NIV-30886AD" title="See cross-reference AD - AD )'>} and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory^{#cen-NIV-30886AE" title="See cross-reference AE - AE )'>} to the God of heaven.
