Other Translations - Revelation
11:7-14:
When
the two witnesses have finished telling their
message, the animal will fight against them. This is
the animal that comes up from the bottomless pit.
The animal will defeat them and kill them.
8The bodies of the two witnesses will lie
in the street of the great city. This city is named
Sodom and Egypt. These names for the city have a
special meaning. This is the city where the Lord was
killed. 9People from every race of
people, tribe, language, and nation will look at the
bodies of the two witnesses for three and a half
days. The people will refuse to bury them.
10People who live on the earth will be
happy because these two are dead. They will have
parties and send each other gifts. They will do
these things because these two prophets (witnesses)
brought much suffering to the people who live on the
earth. 11But after three and a half
days God let life enter the two prophets again. They
stood on their feet. All the people who saw them
were filled with fear. 12Then the two
prophets heard a loud voice from heaven say, "Come
up here!" And the two prophets went up into heaven
in a cloud. Their enemies watched them go.
13At that same time there was a great
earthquake. One tenth of the city was destroyed. And
7,000 people were killed in the earthquake. The
people that did not die were very afraid. They gave
glory to the God of heaven. 14The
second great trouble is finished. The third great
trouble is coming soon.
(ERV)
And
when they shall have finished their testimony, the
beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war
with them, and overcome them, and kill them. 8And
their dead bodies (lie) in the street of the great
city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,
where also their Lord was crucified. 9And
from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and
nations do (men) look upon their dead bodies three
days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to
be laid in a tomb. 10And they that dwell
on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and
they shall send gifts one to another; because these
two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth.
11And after the three days and a half the
breath of life from God entered into them, and they
stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them
that beheld them. 12And they heard a
great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up
hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud;
and their enemies beheld them. 13And in
that hour there was a great earthquake, and the
tenth part of the city fell; and there were killed
in the earthquake seven thousand persons: and the
rest were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of
heaven. 14The second Woe is past: behold,
the third Woe cometh quickly. (ASV)
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. 8And 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. 9And 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. 10And 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.
11And 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. 12And 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. 13And 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. 14The
second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe
cometh quickly. (KJV) |
