11:5. And if any man will hurt them, fire shall come out of their mouths
and shall devour their enemies. And if any man will hurt them, in this
manner must he be slain.

11:6. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of
their prophecy: And they have power over waters, to turn them into blood
and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

11:7. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that
ascendeth out of the abyss shall make war against them and shall
overcome them and kill them.

11:8. And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city which
is called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt: where their Lord also was
crucified.

11:9. And they of the tribes and peoples and tongues and nations shall
see their bodies for three days and a half: and they shall not suffer
their bodies to be laid in sepulchres.

11:10. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and
make merry: and shall send gifts one to another, because these two
prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth.

11:11. And after three days and a half, the spirit of life from God
entered into them. And they stood upon their feet: and great fear fell
upon them that saw them.

11:12. And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them: Come up
hither. And they went up to heaven in a cloud: and their enemies saw
them.

11:13. And at that hour there was made a great earthquake: and the tenth
part of the city fell. And there were slain in the earthquake, names of
men, seven thousand: and the rest were cast into a fear and gave glory
to the God of heaven.

11:14. The second woe is past: and behold the third woe will come
quickly.

11:15. And the seventh angel sounded the trumpet: and there were great
voices in heaven, saying: The kingdom of this world is become our Lord's
and his Christ's, and he shall reign for ever and ever. Amen.

11:16. And the four and twenty ancients who sit on their seats in the
sight of God, fell on their faces and adored God, saying:

11:17. We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast
and who art to come: because thou hast taken to thee thy great power,
and thou hast reigned.

11:18. And the nations were angry: and thy wrath is come. And the time
of the dead, that they should be judged and that thou shouldest render
reward to thy servants the prophets and the saints, and to them that
fear thy name, little and great: and shouldest destroy them who have
corrupted the earth.

11:19. And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his
testament was seen in his temple. And there were lightnings and voices
and an earthquake and great hail.

Apocalypse Chapter 12

The vision of the woman clothed with the sun and of the great dragon her
persecutor.

12:1. And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun,
and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

A woman... The church of God. It may also, by allusion, be applied to
our blessed Lady. The church is clothed with the sun, that is, with
Christ: she hath the moon, that is, the changeable things of the world,
under her feet: and the twelve stars with which she is crowned, are the
twelve apostles: she is in labour and pain, whilst she brings forth her
children, and Christ in them, in the midst of afflictions and
persecutions.

12:2. And being with child, she cried travailing in birth: and was in
pain to be delivered.
