Revelation Chapter 11
IN THIS LESSON
The voice says to John, “Get up and measure God’s temple.” But what temple is he talking about? The Jerusalem temple was already destroyed when Revelation was written. Is it referring to a heavenly temple that God will restore? If not, what does it mean? More importantly, who are the two witnesses in this passage? Why do the nations trample the temple for 42 months? And why are those two witnesses given authority to prophesy only for 1,260 days?
