Revelation 11:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven say to them, “Come up here.” So they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies looked on.(A) 13 At that moment there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell in ruins. Seven thousand people[a] were killed during the earthquake; the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe has passed, but the third is coming soon.

The Seventh Trumpet.[b]
