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.

(11.3)
“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.

(11.4)
“These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks.”

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.

(11.5)
“If any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies.”

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.

(11.6)
“These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not ... and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.”
God’s witnesses have special powers. They can shut up heaven so that it cannot rain, turn rivers into blood, and smite the earth with 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.

(11.7)
“When they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall ... kill them.”
After God’s witnesses “have finished their testimony,” they are killed in a war with a beast from a bottomless pit.

(11.8-12) The bodies of God’s witnesses will lie unburied for three and a half days. People will “rejoice over them and make merry, and shall send gifts to one another.” After another three and half days God brings his witnesses back to life and they ascend into heaven.

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.

(11.8)
“Their dead bodies shall lie in the street.”

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.

(11.9)
“They … 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.

(11.10)
“They … shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them.”

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.

(11.11-12)
“After three days and an half … they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven.”

(11.13-14)
The Second Woe
When the witnesses ascend into heaven, an earthquake kills 7000 men. This was the second woe. “The third woe cometh quickly.” (I lost track of the first woe.)

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.
