⁵ Measuring the Temple GroundsAll of a sudden, we were at the exterior wall that completely surrounded the Temple. The man whom I had observed held a measuring reed that was six cubits long as measured in cubits that were a cubit and a handbreadth long. As he measured the thickness of the wall, he measured out one reed.

The threshold of the gate near the vestibule facing away from the Temple entrance measured one reed.
⁸ Next, he measured the vestibule of the gate facing away from the Temple entrance at one reed. ⁹ He measured the vestibule of the gate inside at eight cubits and the doorjambs at two cubits.

Windows were placed all around inside, and the side pillars were engraved with palm trees.
¹⁷ The Outer CourtNext, he brought me into the outer court, where chambers and a paved area had been constructed all around the courtyard, with 30 chambers facing the pavement. ¹⁸ The pavement to the side of the gates corresponded to the length of the gates. ¹⁹ He also measured the width from the front lower gate to the front of the exterior inner court at 100 cubits to the east and to the north.
²⁰ The North Facing Outer CourtNext, he measured the length and width of the outer north-facing gate to the courtyard. ²¹ It was equipped with three guardhouses on each side. Its side pillars and porches had measurements identical to the first gate: 50 cubits long and 25 cubits wide. ²² Its windows, porches, and palm tree ornaments had measurements identical to the east-facing gate. Reached by seven ascending steps, its porch lay to the front of the steps. ²³ From a gate that stood opposite the northern gate he measured 100 cubits, as well as from the eastern gate.

³⁹ In the porch leading in front of the gate there were two tables on either side for slaughtering burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings, ⁴⁰ and on the outer side, approaching the northern gateway, there were two tables, as well as two tables on the opposite side of the porch in front of the gate. ⁴¹ In that way, there were four tables on each side in front of the gate, for a total of eight tables for use in slaughtering the offerings.
⁴² There were four tables carved from stone for the burnt offering, each one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one cubit high, on which the instruments are laid for slaughtering burnt offerings and sacrifices.

But I’ll see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

³³ I have told you this so that through me you may have peace. In the world you’ll have trouble, but be courageous—I’ve overcome the world!”

If anyone wants to hurt them, he must be killed in this manner. ⁶ These witnesses have authority to close the heavens in order to keep rain from falling while they are prophesying. They also have authority to turn bodies of water into blood and to strike the earth with any plague, as often as they desire.
⁷ When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the bottomless pit will wage war against them, conquer them, and kill them. ⁸ Their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. ⁹ For three and a half days some members of the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will look at their dead bodies and will not allow them to be placed in a tomb. ¹⁰ Those living on earth will gloat over them, celebrate, and send gifts to each other, because these two prophets had tormented those living on earth.
