King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 11:1 | Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship in it. |
| 11:2 | But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city under foot for forty two months. |
| 11:3 | And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." |
| 11:4 | These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. |
| 11:5 | And if anyone wants to hurt them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to hurt them, he must be killed in this manner. |
| 11:6 | These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire. |
| 11:7 | And when they will have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, will overcome them, and kill them. |
| 11:8 | And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. |
| 11:9 | And those from the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will see their dead bodies three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be put in graves. |
| 11:10 | And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, and will be glad, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. |
| 11:11 | Now after three and a half days the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. |
| 11:12 | And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. |
| 11:13 | And in the same hour there was a large earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. And in the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven. |
| 11:14 | The second woe is past. And behold, the third woe is coming suddenly. |
| 11:15 | Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever!" |
| 11:16 | And the twenty four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, |
| 11:17 | saying: "We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who is and was and is to come, because You have taken to Yourself Your great power and reigned. |
| 11:18 | And the nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should give rewards to Your servants the prophets and the saints, and those who reverence Your name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth." |
| 11:19 | Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His testament was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, voices, thunderings, an earthquake, and large hail. |
King James Bible 2016
Unlike most other modern versions, this Bible's text is based upon the same Hebrew Masoretic Text, and Greek Textus Receptus, of the King James Version of 1611.
In non Textus Receptus versions, the issue of having the best underlying manuscripts, is often overshadowed by the massive amount of omissions in the text. Because the KJV 2016 is not dealing with issues of omission and addition, the focus has been upon definition, and the KJV translators choices have been used as the benchmark.
One issue not often majored upon in the bible version debate is simply the way Greek words are defined. Many times, the NKJV leans upon the definition choices of modern versions as well as defaulting to Vines and Strong's definitions, which are almost always favorable to the Revised Version. In other words, one may have a correct text to translate from, but use erroneous modern version/modern dictionary definitions which change or distort the meaning of the words. Jay Green was accused of having a good TR bible but with "Alexandrian readings".
The KJV 2016 Edition rejects such erroneous modern definitions and restores the distinctness of historical KJV readings. The NKJV also tended to gravitate toward KJV marginal notes, which are in truth, rejected readings, and also toward Geneva Bible definitions, which the KJV had already cleared up.
