    Re.11:2 "The court" (1 of 2)

    "But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles:"

    Notice that the angel is asking St John to measure the temple of God while in the vision of Ezekiel, "and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed;"(Ez.40:3). Who is the angel talking to John but a fellow servant? (" and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book"-Re.22:9). We find mention of one of the seven angels in the Ch.21. All these seven angels we saw here double as stars as in the inaugural vision of John (Re.1:20). So these angels are interchangeable since they keep the sayings of the book representing the revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave him.(Re.1:1). It is for these reason the two witnesses represented heaven and earth. Isaiah similar invoke them in the ch.1:2 " Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken," The two witnesses signify the word that God has spoken. Elijah, Elisha and all the prophets for the reason are stand-in for the Son. (He.1:1)

    Since the stone was laid in Zion (Is.28:16) building program of the temple of God has been going on and God already had the saints that worship therein from heaven as well as from the earth. So where shall we look for the Gentiles? They are shown in Re.21: 22-24

    Consider the tabernacle in the wilderness set is Up and Down as we see the Woman set on the moon in Re.12.

    Most holy place refers to the thrones of God and of the Lamb.(Re.22:1)

    Holy place refers to the city. "For the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof."

    And the court refers to the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.(v.24).

    This court is earmarked for the nations, -the Gentiles and Israel alike
