Revelations 11: 1-19

The Two Witnesses

¹⁾ I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there.

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.

³⁾ And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth."

⁴⁾ These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

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.

⁶⁾ These men have power to shut up the sky 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.

⁷⁾ Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them.

⁸⁾ Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

⁹⁾ For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.

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.

¹¹⁾ But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, 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." And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

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.

¹⁴⁾ The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.

The Seventh Trumpet

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 Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever."

¹⁶⁾ And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God,

¹⁷⁾ saying: "We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.

¹⁸⁾ The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great— and for destroying those who destroy the earth."

¹⁹⁾ Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm.

Revelation 16

The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath

¹⁾ Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go, pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth."

²⁾ The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.

³⁾ The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died.

⁴⁾ The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

⁵⁾ Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say: "You are just in these judgments, you who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have so judged;

⁶⁾ For they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve."

⁷⁾ And I heard the altar respond: "Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments."

⁸⁾ The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire.

⁹⁾ They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.

¹⁰⁾ The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their tongues in agony

¹¹⁾ And cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.

¹²⁾ The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.

¹³⁾ Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

¹⁴⁾ They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.

¹⁵⁾"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed."

¹⁶⁾ Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

¹⁷⁾ The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

¹⁸⁾ Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake.

¹⁹⁾ The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.

²⁰⁾ Every Island fled away and the mountains could not be found.

²¹⁾ From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

Here is link to a poem that I wrote that you may wish to read before reading this series:

First of all I want to break down what the book of revelations is and its purpose:

Revelations is written by The Apostle John. The Apostle John wrote Revelations to encourage the faithful to resist staunchly the demands of emperor worship. He informs his readers that the final showdown between God and Satan is imminent.

Satan will increase his persecution of believers, but they must stand fast, even to death. They are sealed against any spiritual harm and will soon be vindicated when Christ returns, when the wicked are forever destroyed, and when God’s people enter an eternity of glory and blessedness. (NIV Summary)
