Bible Comments

Of the Two Witnesses and the Sounding of the Seventh Trumpet.

Measuring the temple of God:

Revelation 11:1-4

1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

2 But the court which is without the temple leave out,a and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

3 And I will giveb power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
