Revelation 11:1-3 New International Version (NIV)

1. I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers.

2. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.

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