Then I was given a stick like a measuring stick. I was told, “Stand up and measure the temple of God and the altar. Count those who worship there. But do not measure the temple courtyard. Leave that out, because it is given to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months. 

    I will allow my two witnesses who wear sackcloth to speak what God has revealed. They will speak for 1,260 days.”
