Revelation 11 ESV Full Chapter


1 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there,


2 but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months.

“Holy City” occurs 4 times in the Book of Revelation and is identified as “New Jerusalem” “coming down out of Heaven from God”
The OPPOSITE of the “Holy City” is “the Great City that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified” at Rev 11:8. Old Jerusalem, where their Lord was crucified, in the Middle East is “Sodom & Egypt”
 So many deceived Christians have it backwards calling “Sodom & Egypt” the “Holy City” and mistakenly confuse Heavenly Jerusalem with Earthly Jerusalem.

➥ Revelation 11:1-2
Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, 2 but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the HOLY CITY for forty-two months.

➥ Revelation 21:2
And I saw the HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

➥ Revelation 21:10
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the HOLY CITY JERUSALEM coming down out of heaven from God.

➥ Revelation 22:19
and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the HOLY CITY, which are described in this book.


3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”


4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.


5 And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed.


6 They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire.

10 plagues of Egypt Similarity to 2 Witnesses Showdown with the Antichrist in Jerusalem!

1) Moses & Aaron foreshadow the 2 Witnesses.
(Also Elijah and Elisha foreshadow the 2 Witnesses.)

2) Captivity – “Let my people go” was the reason for the 10 plagues in Egypt which is similar reason for the plagues from the 2 Witnesses and earth’s water to blood in the 2nd & 3rd Trumpets & the 2nd & 3rd Bowls of Wrath. During the time of the 2 Witnesses, the saints are in captivity like in Egypt.

3) Water to blood in Moses’s time was part of the consequences for Pharoah not letting God’s people go. Likewise, the 2 Witnesses turning water to blood are part of the consequences for the captivity and murder of God’s people during the time of the Great Tribulation or Beast Image & Mark. Additionally, in God’s 2nd & 3rd Trumpets 1/3 of Earth’s water becomes blood / wormwood. God’s increases the intensity in the 2nd & 3rd Bowls of Wrath where all or 100% of earth’s waters turns to blood.

4) Pride displayed by Pharoah will be the exact same pride exhibited by the Antichrist called “Man of Lawlessness” or the “Son of Destruction” who is destroying God’s people at 2 Thessalonians 2.

5) Refusal to repent displayed by Pharoah is similar all of earth’s reactions to God’s Curses in the 7 Trumpets & 7 Bowls of Wrath where they likewise refuse to repent mentioned at Revelation 9:20-21, 16:9, 11.

6) Satanic Miracles displayed by Pharaoh’s Magicians in Exodus are more pronounced by the Antichrist at 2 Thessalonians 2:9.
2 Thessalonians 2:9
“The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders”

1 Kings 17-18 Elijah Showdown with Ahab & 450 Prophets of Baal & 400 Prophets of Asherah Foreshadow to 2 Witnesses Shodown with the Antichrist in Jerusalem!

1) Final Showdown!
Just as Elijah experienced a final showdown with the wicked King of Israel, his wife Jezebel and the “450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Asherah,” so to the 2 Witnesses are in Jerusalem for the final showdown against the Antichrist False Prophet of Revelation 13 and his army!

2) Location = Israel
Just as Elijah had a showdown in Israel, so to the 2 Witnesses are in Jerusalem for the final showdown against the Antichrist False Prophet of Revelation 13 and his army!
Revelation 11:8 reveals the location of the 2 Witnesses:
Revelation 11:8
“and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.”
“Their Lord was crucified” in Jerusalem!

Jezebel
1 Kings 18:4,13,19
Thyatira tolerates Jezebel at Revelation 2:20-24

1) No Rain
Kings 17:1,7,
Elijah stops rain as the 2 Witnesses at Revelation 11:6

2) Drought & Famine
1 Kings 17:4-16, 18:1,
Elijah endures famine similar to 3rd & 4th Seals famine at Revelation 6:5-8. Elijah endures drought similar to 3rd Trumpet at Revelation 8:10 where 1/3rd of earth’s drinking water turns to wormwood. The difference is drought and famine occur in the “beginning of birth pains” at Matthew 24:8 where as the 2 Witnesses come on the scene during the 3.5 years of the Great Tribulation right after the “beginning of birth pains.” Drought & famine will be further amplified by the 2 Witnesses and reach maximum intensity in God’s 7 Bowls of Wrath in Revelation 16.

3) No Grass for Animals,
1 Kings 18:5
Ahab & Obadiah went looking for grass to feed the animals which was space due to the drought & famine. Likewise, in the 1st Trumpet of Revelation 8:7 “all the green grass was burnt up!”

4) YHWH’s Prophets Killed
1 Kings 18:4, 13
Just as “Jezebel cut off the prophets of YHWH,” so to during the time of the 2 Witnesses during the “Great Tribulation,” God’s Saints are Genocided by the False Prophets’ global demand to worship the image or die at Revelation 13:15 and unable to “buy or sell” at Revelation 13:16-17!

5) Some Prophets Spared Death
1 Kings 18:4, 13
Just as a few of YHWH’s prophets were spared death by Jezebel, so likewise God cuts short the time of the Great Tribulation at Matthew 24:22 to spare a few of the Saints.
Matthew 24:22
“And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.” 

6) Completely Outnumbered!
Just as Elijah was completely outnumbered against the “450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Asherah,” so to the 2 Witnesses are completely outnumbered in Jerusalem against the Antichrist and his army of false prophets!
This is why God has to give the 2 Witnesses protection at Revelation 11:5.
Revelation 11:5
“And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed.”

and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”

11 They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit (“abyssos”). His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.

➥ Revelation 17:8
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit (“abyssos”) and go to destruction.

After that he must be released for a little while.

“Fatal Wound” by “Sword” “Healed!”

The Future Beast of Revelation 13 receives a – “Fatal Wound” by “Sword” which “Healed.”
Various translations describe the event as:

8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.

The Scriptural Clue to Identifying the “Great City” is contained in Revelation ch 11:8!

➥ Revelation 11:8
“and their dead bodies will lie in the street of The GREAT CITY which is SPIRITUALLY called  SODOM & EGYPT, WHERE THERE LORD WAS CRUCIFIED.”

Where was the the Lord crucified?
= Jerusalem in Israel in the Middle East.

➥ How does YHWH Feel about Jerusalem in Israel in the Middle East, “where the Lord was crucified?.?.?.?”
= Revelation 11:8″Spiritually called SODOM & EGYPT”


In the 7th Vial of WRATH, YHWH splits the “Great City” “into 3 Parts!”

➥ Revelation 16:17-19
17 …the 7th angel poured out his vial into the air …
18 …and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great…
19 And the GREAT CITY was SPLIT into 3 Parts, and the cities of the nations fell”


Final Antichrist King’s Home is Jerusalem, Israel

According to Daniel 11:31,36-37,45, the final king who releases the “Abomination of Desolation” on true believers, will reside in Modern State of Israel (Sodom & Egypt) .
31… And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate…
“36… He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods….
37 He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these.
45 And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.


Part of a Final Deception
Devil Substitutes Old Jerusalem For New Jerusalem

As part of several final deceptions, the Devil replaces New Jerusalem with old Jerusalem (Sodom & Egypt).
Most of Lamestream Twistianity (mainstream Christianity) believes that the prophecies of the bible will be fulfilled through old Jerusalem (Sodom & Egypt) when in reality they are to be fulfilled through New Jerusalem. Always remember, New Jerusalem comes “down from God out of heaven” (Rev 21:2, 3:12), NOT from the Earth.


1 John 5:19
“The whole world IS lying in the power of the wicked one”
Including Mainstream Christianity✡ & the Modern State of Israel✡

4 Different “Great Cities” mentioned or implied in Revelation!
(in the order they appear.)

1) New Jerusalem (from Heaven) the “Holy City,” Rev 3:12, “city of my God.”
Rev 3:12 11:2, 21:2, 10, 21:14-16, 18-23, 22:14, 19

2) (old) Jerusalem (from earth) Rev 11:8, “the great city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.”
Rev 11:8, 13, Rev 16:19

Jerusalem (from earth) now Christ Ruled during 1,000 year reign! No longer “Sodom & Egypt,” Rev 11:8.
Rev 20:9, “the beloved city.”

3) “Mount Zion” – Rev 14:1! Heavenly Zion, Psa 48:2, ” the city of the great King.”
Interesting that Psa 48:2 mentions the “great King” YHWH instead of the “great city.” Obviously the “great King” will make any city “great!” Alos Psalms 2:6

4) Babylon, Rev 17:18, “the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.”
Rev 18:10, 16, 18-19, 21,
———————
Other “great city” Scriptures:
Resin, Gen 10:12, “Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.”
Judah, Jer 22:8, “Why has the Lord dealt thus with this great city?”

Why does God call modern Israel / Jerusalem “Sodom & Egypt?”

Why does God call modern Israel / Jerusalem “Sodom?”

“Sodom” and Gomorrah in Genesis 19:1-29 were destroyed for their homosexuality and sexual perversion.
Modern Israel currently hosts the largest gay pride parade on planet earth. )Also the Jews literally own and direct the Satanic music industry & Satanic Hollywood in the USA.)

Why does God call modern Israel / Jerusalem “Egypt?”
God brought His 10 plagues judgment on “Egypt,” pharaoh and its gods in the book of Exodus 7-12 & 15. “Egypt” was obstinate, proud and had a hard heart worshiping its gods. Likewise, modern Israel in the Middle East is rebuilding the 3rd temple for its false messiah. 2 Thessalonians calls the Jewish false messiah “the man of lawlessness” & the “son of destruction.’
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
Revelation calls the false Jewish messiah the “False Prophet.”
Can you think in the Bible of a larger false prophet than one who, “takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God?”
God calls the false Jewish messiah the “son of destruction” because he will genocide all biblically believing Christians by demanding worship of the Beast, Image & Mark of Revelation 13.

9 For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb,

three and a half days
Similar to Christ death for 3 days
Similar to Jonah in the belly of the whale for 3 days

10 and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth.

Resurrection

11 But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.

Breath of Life scriptures in the Bible
Genesis 1:30, 2:7, 6:17
Genesis 6:17, 7:15, 7:22
Job 12:10, 33:4
Isaiah 57:16
Ezekiel 37:5,6,8,9,10

12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them.

How many Resurrections are in Revelation 20? &
& How many deaths are in Revelation 20?

Revelation 20:5 “1st resurrection”
Revelation 20:6,14, “2nd death”

What are the 2 Chapters that describe 2 different resurrections in the Bible?
Ezekiel 37
1 Corinthians 15

What is the difference between the 2 Resurrections?
Ezekiel 37: 3-6, 7-8, bones put on flesh
1 Corinthians 15:44, flesh puts on spirit

Why are some resurrected to heaven? &
Why are some resurrected to earth?

Rev 5:9-10, 20:4-6, 1:5-6
Gen 1:26-30
Gen 9:1,7

What is the timing of the 1st Resurrection?
What is the timing of the 2nd Resurrection?

1st Resurrection:
1 Corinthians 15:52, “last trumpet” or 7th Trumpet at Revelation 11:18, “time… for rewarding!”
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, “sound of a trumpet.” “We who are alive and left” = the end of the Great Tribulation at Matthew 24:22.
Matthew 24:29-31 & Mark 13:24-26 “after the tribulation!” and “after that tribulation!”
Matthew 24:31, “And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call.”
Matthew 24:29 & Mark 13:24, “sun darkened… moon… stars,” during the 6th Seal! Compare Revelation 6:12

Can you see the importance of celebrating YHWH’s Feast of Trumpets?

Is Revelation 11:12 the 1st Resurrection?

13 And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.

What is the 1st, 2nd & 3rd Woes?
Revelation 8:13

The Seventh Trumpet
15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”
16 And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,
17 saying, “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign.

18 The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.
