Guds to profeter i Jerusalem
11 Derpå fik jeg en målestok i hånden: „Gå hen og mål Guds helligdom,” blev der sagt. „Opmål alteret og tæl dem, som tilbeder der. 2 Men forgården uden for helligdommen skal du ikke måle, for den er i hænderne på de ikke-jødiske folkeslag. De får 42 måneder til at trampe rundt i den hellige by. 3 Jeg vil lade mine to profeter fremstå, klædt i sørgedragt, og de skal profetere i alle de 1260 dage.
4 De to profeter svarer til de to oliventræer og de to lysestager,[a] der står foran hele jordens Herre. 5 Hvis nogen forsøger at gøre dem fortræd, bliver de dræbt. Flammer vil slå ud fra profeternes mund og fortære dem. 6 Profeterne får magt til at lukke himlen, så der ikke falder regn i den periode, hvor de profeterer. De får også magt til at forvandle floder og have til blod og til at sende alle slags plager over jorden, når de ønsker det.
7 Når profeterne har afsluttet de 42 måneders budskaber, vil der komme et uhyre op fra afgrundens mørke. Det vil gå til angreb på dem og slå dem ihjel. 8 Deres lig vil komme til at ligge på gaden i den store by, hvor deres Herre blev korsfæstet. Det svarer åndeligt set til Sodoma og Egypten. 9 Mennesker fra alle folkeslag og sprog vil se på deres lig i tre og en halv dag, og man vil ikke tillade, at ligene bliver begravet. 10 Over hele verden vil man fejre, at dommedagsprofeterne er døde. Overalt vil folk glæde og fryde sig, og de vil sende hinanden gaver, for de to profeter var til stor irritation for alle, der boede på jorden.”
11 Da de to profeter havde ligget døde i tre og en halv dag, gjorde Gud dem levende igen, og de rejste sig op. Alle, der så det, blev grebet af rædsel. 12 Så lød der en kraftig stemme fra Himlen, som sagde: „Kom herop!” Straks fór de to profeter op til Himlen og forsvandt i en sky, mens deres fjender så på det. 13 I det samme kom der et voldsomt jordskælv, så en tiendedel af byen styrtede sammen, og 7000 mennesker omkom. De overlevende blev forfærdede og gav Himlens Gud ære.
14 Det var det andet „ak og ve”. Snart kommer det tredje.
Den syvende trompet
15 Da den syvende engel blæste i sin trompet, lød der høje råb i Himlen: „Nu overtager Herren, vores Gud, sammen med sin Messias herredømmet over verden, og de skal herske i al evighed!”
16 De 24 medregenter, der sad på deres troner omkring Guds trone, faldt på knæ med ansigtet mod jorden, og de hyldede Gud: 17 „Vi takker dig Herre, du den øverste hersker og Gud, du som er, og som var. For nu vil du udøve din store magt, og nu er det dig, der regerer. 18 Folkeslagene har vist deres vrede, men nu er tiden kommet for din vrede. Nu skal de døde dømmes, og du vil belønne dine tjenere, profeterne, og alle dem, der tilhører dig, dem, der viser dig ærefrygt, hvad enten det er kendte eller ukendte mennesker. Nu vil du ødelægge dem, der ødelægger jorden.”
19 Derefter blev der åbnet ind til det allerhelligste rum i Guds himmelske helligdom, så pagtens ark kunne ses. Og der kom lynglimt og tordenbrag, jordskælv og voldsomt haglvejr.
Revelation 11
King James Version
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.

The Two Witnesses
11 I was given a reed like a measuring rod(A) and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court;(B) do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles.(C) They will trample on the holy city(D) for 42 months.(E) 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses,(F) and they will prophesy for 1,260 days,(G) clothed in sackcloth.”(H) 4 They are “the two olive trees”(I) and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”[a](J) 5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies.(K) This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.(L) 6 They have power to shut up the heavens(M) so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying;(N) and they have power to turn the waters into blood(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(P) that comes up from the Abyss(Q) will attack them,(R) and overpower and kill them. 8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city(S)—which is figuratively called Sodom(T) and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified.(U) 9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation(V) will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.(W) 10 The inhabitants of the earth(X) will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts,(Y) because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
11 But after the three and a half days(Z) the breath[b] of life from God entered them,(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.”(AB) And they went up to heaven in a cloud,(AC) while their enemies looked on.
13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake(AD) and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory(AE) to the God of heaven.(AF)
14 The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.(AG)
The Seventh Trumpet
15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,(AH) and there were loud voices(AI) in heaven, which said:
“The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,(AJ)
and he will reign for ever and ever.”(AK)
16 And the twenty-four elders,(AL) who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces(AM) and worshiped God, 17 saying:
“We give thanks(AN) to you, Lord God Almighty,(AO)
the One who is and who was,(AP)
because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign.(AQ)
18 The nations were angry,(AR)
and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,(AS)
and for rewarding your servants the prophets(AT)
and your people who revere your name,
both great and small(AU)—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”
19 Then God’s temple(AV) in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.(AW) And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder,(AX) an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.(AY)
