Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Revelation 10
⁸ Then the voice from heaven spoke to me again: “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
⁹ So I went to the angel and told him to give me the small scroll. “Yes, take it and eat it,” he said. “It will be sweet as honey in your mouth, but it will turn sour in your stomach!”
¹⁰ So I took the small scroll from the hand of the angel, and I ate it! It was sweet in my mouth, but when I swallowed it, it turned sour in my stomach.
¹¹ Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”
Revelation 11
¹ Then I was given a measuring stick, and I was told, “Go and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers.
² But do not measure the outer courtyard, for it has been turned over to the nations. They will trample the holy city for 42 months.
³ And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will be clothed in burlap and will prophesy during those 1,260 days.”
⁴ These two prophets are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of all the earth.
⁵ If anyone tries to harm them, fire flashes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. This is how anyone who tries to harm them must die.
⁶ They have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall for as long as they prophesy. And they have the power to turn the rivers and oceans into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.
⁷ When they complete their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the bottomless pit will declare war against them, and he will conquer them and kill them.
