Part II. 1
THE TWO WITNESSES
CHAPTER XI
1. And there was given to me a reed like unto a rod: and it was said to me: Arise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar and them that adore therein.
2. But the court, which is without the temple, cast out, and measure it not: because it is given unto the Gentiles, and the holy city they shall tread under foot two and forty months.
3. And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
4. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks, that stand before the Lord of the earth.
5. And if any man will hurt them, fire shall come out of their mouths, and shall devour their enemies. And if any man will hurt them, in this manner must he be slain.
6. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and they have power over waters to turn them into blood, and to strike 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 abyss, shall make war against them, and overcome them, and kill them.
