A reed like a rod was given to me.
Someone said, “Rise and measure God’s temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the nations.
They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.
I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands, standing before the Lord of the earth.
