Revelation 11 Flashcards
Rv11:1
I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers.
Rv11:2
But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.
Rv11:3
And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
Rv11:4
They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”[a]
Rv11:5
If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.
Rv11:6
They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
Rv11:7
Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them.
Rv11:8
Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city—which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified.
Rv11:9
For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.
Rv11:10
The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
Rv11:11
But after the three and a half days the breath[b] of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them.
Rv11:12
Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.
Rv11:13
At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Rv11:14
The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.
Rv11:15
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said:
“The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,
and he will reign for ever and ever.”
