Revelation 11:2

The Two Witnesses

¹ Then I was given a measuring reed like a rod, with these words: “Go and measure God’s sanctuary and the altar, and count those who worship there. ² But exclude the courtyard outside the sanctuary. Don’t measure it, because it is given to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months. ³ I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.”
