Apocalipsis 11
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Los dos testigos
11 Luego, se me dio una caña parecida a una vara de medir y me dijo Dios: «Ve y mide el templo de Dios y el altar, y cuenta a los que están adentro adorando. 2 Pero no midas la parte de afuera del templo, pues ahí están los que no creen en mí. Ellos pisotearán la ciudad santa durante 42 meses. 3 Yo les daré poder a mis dos testigos, ellos profetizarán durante 1260 días, vestidos de luto».
4 Estos testigos son los dos olivos y las dos lámparas que están ante el Señor de la tierra. 5 Si alguien trata de hacerles daño a los dos testigos, ellos lo matarán con el fuego que sale de su boca y que consume a sus enemigos. 6 Estos testigos tienen el poder de evitar que llueva mientras profetizan. También tienen el poder de hacer que el agua se convierta en sangre y de enviar toda clase de desastres sobre la tierra cuando ellos quieran.
7 Cuando los dos testigos terminen de dar su mensaje, la bestia que sale del abismo los atacará, los vencerá y los matará. 8 Sus cuerpos quedarán tendidos en las calles de la gran ciudad, simbólicamente llamada Sodoma y Egipto, donde su Señor fue crucificado. 9 Gente de todas las razas, grupos, lenguas y naciones irá a ver los cuerpos de los dos testigos durante tres días y medio, y se negará a enterrarlos. 10 Los habitantes de la tierra estarán felices por su muerte. Harán fiestas y se darán regalos, porque estos dos profetas los atormentaban.
11 Pero después de los tres días y medio, Dios les dio de nuevo vida a los profetas y ellos resucitaron.[a] Los que los vieron se asustaron mucho. 12 Los dos profetas oyeron una fuerte voz desde el cielo, que les decía: «Suban acá». Ellos subieron al cielo y sus enemigos los vieron irse.
13 En ese preciso momento hubo un gran terremoto y la décima parte de la ciudad se derrumbó dejando 7000 personas muertas. Los demás quedaron muy asustados y alabaron a Dios, que está en el cielo.
14 Ya pasó el segundo gran desastre, pero pronto llegará el tercero.
La séptima trompeta
15 El séptimo ángel tocó la trompeta y se oyeron fuertes voces que decían:
«El reino del mundo es ahora el reino de nuestro Señor y de su Mesías,
y él reinará por siempre».
16 Luego, los 24 ancianos que estaban sentados en sus tronos ante Dios se inclinaron hasta el suelo y lo adoraron, 17 diciendo:
«¡Te damos gracias Señor, Dios Todopoderoso.
Tú eres el que es y ha sido siempre.
Te damos gracias porque hiciste uso de tu gran poder
y comenzaste a gobernar!
18 Los que no creen en ti se enojaron,
pero ahora ha llegado el momento de tu ira.
Ahora es el momento de juzgar a los muertos.
Es el momento de recompensar a tus siervos los profetas,
y de recompensar a tu pueblo santo,
a los que te respetan,
tanto grandes como pequeños.
¡Es tiempo de destruir
a los que destruyen la tierra!»
19 Entonces se abrió el templo de Dios en el cielo y dentro de él se veía el Cofre Sagrado que guardaba el pacto.[b] Hubo rayos, ruidos, truenos, un terremoto y una gran tormenta.
Revelation 11
King James Version
11 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 11
New King James Version
The Two Witnesses
11 Then I was given (A)a reed like a measuring rod. [a]And the angel stood, saying, (B)“Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave out (C)the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, (D)for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will (E)tread the holy city underfoot for (F)forty-two months. 3 And I will give power to my two (G)witnesses, (H)and they will prophesy (I)one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 These are the (J)two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the [b]God of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, (K)fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. (L)And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. 6 These (M)have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.
The Witnesses Killed
7 When they (N)finish their testimony, (O)the beast that ascends (P)out of the bottomless pit (Q)will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of (R)the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, (S)where also [c]our Lord was crucified. 9 (T)Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations [d]will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, (U)and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. 10 (V)And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, (W)and send gifts to one another, (X)because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
The Witnesses Resurrected
11 (Y)Now after the three-and-a-half days (Z)the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 And [e]they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” (AA)And they ascended to heaven (AB)in a cloud, (AC)and their enemies saw them. 13 In the same hour (AD)there was a great earthquake, (AE)and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid (AF)and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 (AG)The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.
Seventh Trumpet: The Kingdom Proclaimed
15 Then (AH)the seventh angel sounded: (AI)And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, (AJ)“The [f]kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, (AK)and He shall reign forever and ever!” 16 And (AL)the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and (AM)worshiped God, 17 saying:
“We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
The One (AN)who is and who was [g]and who is to come,
Because You have taken Your great power (AO)and reigned.
18 The nations were (AP)angry, and Your [h]wrath has come,
And the time of the (AQ)dead, that they should be judged,
And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”
19 Then (AR)the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of [i]His covenant was seen in His temple. And (AS)there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, (AT)and great hail.
