An End Times Pen Reed

*This version uses multiple biblical translations.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. 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. And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth." They are "the two olive trees" and the two lampstands, and "they stand before the Lord of the earth (Revelation 11:1-4, NIV).""Listen: I will send my messenger before me to prepare the way. And then the One you are looking for will come suddenly to his Temple-the Messenger of God's promises, to bring you great joy. Yes, he is surely coming," says the Lord Almighty (Malachi 3:1 TLB). I had many things to say when I began] to write to you, but I prefer not to put it down with pen (reed) and black (ink); but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak face to face (3 John 1:13 AMP). Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy (Jude1:24 KJV). Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:2 KJV).
