Measuring God’s Temple |
Revelation 11:1-19 The Revelation of Jesus Christ [in Smaller Chunks] |
And a reed, [similar] to a [measuring] rod was given [to] me there. And the Angel stood, saying, Rise [up,] & measure the temple of God, the altar, & [count] [those who] worship [in there.] |
But leave out, & [don't] measure the [courtyard, that] is [outside] the temple; for it is given to the Gentiles. And they shall tread, [a.k.a. walk.] the Holy City underfoot, 42 months. [Daniel 7:24-27 And the 10 horns [from] this kingdom, are 10 kings that shall arise. And another shall rise after them, & he shall be [different] from the 1st. And he shall subdue, [a.k.a. conquer,] 3 kings. And he shall speak, great, [a.k.a. arrogant,] words against the Most High, & shall wear out the saints of the Most High & think to change times & Laws: & they shall be given into his hand until a time, & times, and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, [a.k.a. wait] & they shall take away his dominion, to consume & to destroy until the end. And the kingdom & dominion, under the whole heaven, & the greatness of the kingdom, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, Whose Kingdom is an Everlasting Kingdom, & all dominions shall serve & obey Him.] |
And I will give power to My 2 Witnesses, & they shall prophesy 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. [Zechariah 4:11-14 Then, I answered, & said to him, What are these 2 Olive Trees upon the right & left [sides] of the candlestick, [a.k.a. lampstand?] And I [asked] again, & said to him, What [are] these 2 Olive Branches, [that] [go] through the 2 golden pipes, & empty the golden oil out of [them?] And he answered me, & said, [Don't] you [know] what these [are?] And I said, No, my lord. Then he said, These are the 2 Anointed Ones, [who] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.] |
These are the 2 Olive Trees, & the 2 candlesticks, [a.k.a. lampstands, in front of] the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire [proceeds] out of their mouth, & [devours] their enemies. And if any man will hurt them, he must be killed in this manner. |
These have power to shut heaven, [so] that it [doesn't] rain [during] the days of their prophecy. And [they] have power over waters to turn them to blood, & to [strike] the earth with all plagues, as often as they [want.] |
And when they have finished their Testimony, [about Jesus Christ,] the beast that [ascends, a.k.a. goes up,] out of the bottomless pit, shall make war against them, & shall overcome them, & kill them. |
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called: Sodom, & Egypt, where our Lord was also crucified. And [those] of the: people; [families;] tongues, [a.k.a. languages;] & nations; shall see their dead bodies 3 ½ days, & shall not [allow] their dead bodies to be put in graves. |
And [those, who] dwell, [a.k.a. live,] upon the earth, shall rejoice over them, & make [merriment,] & shall send gifts to another; because these 2 prophets tormented [those, who] dwelt on the earth. |
And after 3 ½ days, the [Holy] Spirit of life from God entered into them. And they stood upon their feet, & great fear fell upon [those, who] saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, Come up [here.] And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud. [Nehemiah 9:25-26 And they took, [a.k.a. captured,] strong cities; & a fat, [a.k.a. rich,] land; & possessed houses full of goods, [a.k.a. possessions;] wells, [already] [dug;] vineyards; [olive groves;] & fruit trees in abundance. So, they [ate,] & were filled, [a.k.a. satisfied,] & became fat, & delighted themselves in Your great goodness. [Still,] they were disobedient, & rebelled against You, & cast, [a.k.a.] threw Your Law, behind their backs, & slew, [a.k.a. killed,] Your prophets, [who] testified against them to [warn &] [return] them to You, and [instead,] they [did] great, [a.k.a. outrageous,] provocations.] |
And their enemies [saw] them. And the same hour, there was a great, [a.k.a. enormous,] earthquake, & 1/10 of the city fell. And in the earthquake, 7,000 men were [killed,] & the [rest] were [frightened,] & gave glory to the God of heaven. The 2nd woe is past. And [look,] the 3rd woe [comes] quickly. |
And the 7th Angel sounded [the trumpet,] & there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world [have] become the kingdoms of our Lord, & His Christ. And He shall [rule] forever & ever. |
And the 24 elders, [who] sat on their seats, [in front of] God, fell upon their faces, & worshiped God, saying, We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, [Who Is,] & [Was,] & [Is] to Come; because You [have] taken to [Yourself,] Your great power, & [have ruled.] |
And the nations were angry, & Your wrath [has] come. And the time [for] the dead, [so] that they should be judged, & that You [should] give [the] reward to: your servants, the prophets; the saints; [those powerless & powerful, who] fear, [a.k.a. respect,] Your Name. And [should] destroy [those, who] destroy, [a.k.a. devastate,] the earth. |
And [God's] temple was opened in heaven. And in His temple, the Ark of His Testament, [a.k.a. Covenant, were] seen there. And there [was: lightning;] voices;[ thundering,] an earthquake; & great, [a.k.a. large,] hail. |
