Revelation 10
[1] And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a
cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the
sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
[2] And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot
upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, [3] And cried with a loud
voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders
uttered their voices. [4] And when the seven thunders had uttered their
voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto
me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them
not. [5] And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth
lifted up his hand to heaven,
[6] And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and
the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein
are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be
time no longer:
[7] But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin
to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his
servants the prophets.
[8] And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said,
Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which
standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. [9] And I went unto the angel,
and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it,
and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy
mouth sweet as honey. [10] And I took the little book out of the angel's
hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as
I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
[11] And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and
nations, and tongues, and kings.

Revelation 11
[1] 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. [4] These
are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God
of the earth.
[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.
[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. [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.
[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.
[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.
[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] 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.
[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. [14] The
second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. [15] And the
seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The
kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his
Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. [16] And the four and twenty
elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and
worshipped God, [17] Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy
great power, and hast reigned.
[18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the
dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto
thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name,
small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. [19]
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his
temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and
thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Revelation 12
[1] And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the
sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve
stars: [2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained
to be delivered.
[3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red
dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
[4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast
them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to
be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. [5] And she
brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron:
and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. [6] And the woman
fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they
should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
[7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the
dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [8] And prevailed not;
neither was their place found any more in heaven. [9] And the great dragon
was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels
were cast out with him. [10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now
is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power
of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused
them before our God day and night.
[11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of
their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. [12]
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the
inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto
you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
[13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted
the woman which brought forth the man child. [14] And to the woman were
given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness,
into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a
time, from the face of the serpent. [15] And the serpent cast out of his
mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be
carried away of the flood. [16] And the earth helped the woman, and the
earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast
out of his mouth. [17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to
make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God,
and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
