John is told to measure God's temple, its altar, and those who worship in it. HE is not to measure the outer court, which is given to the Gentile nations. Two witnesses of God prophesy for 1260 days, protected from harm. When those days are over, the beast slays them, and their bodies lie on the street while the people look on in merriment. After three and a half days God raises them to life again with His breath. As they go up to heaven in a cloud, their enemies look on, terrified.
