Zechariah 4:7. And the third temple in Jerusalem will be constructed in its place, on Mount Moriah. As it is written, "go and measure the temple of God". Revelation 11:1. This will happen in preparation for the return of Yeshua.
You're making the same mistake as most here do, mixing the OT version of the end times with Revelation's narrative. Revelation 11 is not about dividing the temple mount in Jerusalem. Lol.
The only reason I post here today is that I honestly do not believe that we have any time left to see a rebuilt temple. Sorry. I know so many people's eschatological understanding relies on waiting for a rebuilt temple.
The "court outside the temple" is figurative language. This is not talking about just a little spot in Israel. This is speaking globally of all the lost souls alive just prior to the second coming. It describes an image of preservation, since the outer court is not measured and is overrun by the Gentiles. This amounts to the judgment of the living just prior to Yeshua's Arrival.
It might sound odd to measure the worshipers, but the word (μετρέω) can mean measure, count, or mete out. David Aune suggests this is an example of the figure of speech known as zeugma, one verb with two direct objects, only one of which fits the verb.
This has to be completed prior to the second coming, by the measuring rod given to John, who must prophesy again, through God's written Word, to many nations and peoples and tongues. Because when Yeshua appears we will be like Him. For we shall see Him as He is.
There's five different types of Bible Prophecy. The OT version of the end times were based on the old Judaic Prophecies. Judaic Prophecies were conditional prophecies tied to Old Time Israel's behaviour during the 70 weeks. If the Old Time Jews would have redeemed the 70 weeks, we would have built Ezekiel's temple sometime during the middle ages already. While we watched an infant play beside a cobra's den, and a young man live to 100. These things can't happen during Revelation's thousand years. Here there's a different twist on Gog Magog, and a brand New Jerusalem.
I wouldn't worry about it now. Prophecy is difficult to decipher until it happens. And even then most WILL miss it due to their preconceived misconceptions.
Even though Paul said we are not in darkness so that day might overtake us as a thief, the Son of Man will still come at an hour that you do not expect.
"Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Price action makes for market commentary. Trade the charts, do not trade a story. There's too many stories out there. When the weather remains inappropriate for visual flight rules, fly by instrumentation. Our instrumentation, our price action and charts are the 18 Prophetic Time Periods found in the Books of Daniel and Revelation. They testify that it has to be happening right now.
The man of sin has already taken his seat in the Temple of God. He has given his power and his throne and his great authority to the composite beast. I can hear the composite beast open it's mouth to blaspheme God and His dwelling place and those who live in heaven. Paul's man of sin has already made war on the Two Witnesses.
The best news I can think to say here is that we won't need to worry about 7 years of preparations, or a big barn to stuff them in. We won't need 3.5 years of supplies. We might not even need a full year's worth. Something might happen anytime now and we could be 40 days away from one of the days of the Son of Man. Just like in the Days of Noah. Or the "day" of vengeance, in a "year" of recompense. In the style of a Hebrew Couplet.
"For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
Five Types of Bible Prophecy:
1) Local Prophecy
Prophecy that pertains to a specific place, people or time. These would include Noah's flood, or Jonah's visit to the people of Nineveh. Maybe that Old Time King who saw his shadow move backwards, and Moses' dealings with Pharaoh and the curses of Egypt. Even when Jesus said to Peter: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times." You can think of more.
2) Messianic Prophecy
These had to do specifically with our Lord's first Visitation. Like
Isaiah 52
He Was Pierced for Our Transgressions
Behold, my servant shall act wisely;
he shall be high and lifted up,
and shall be exalted.
As many were astonished at you—
his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance,
and his form beyond that of the children of mankind—
so shall he sprinkle many nations.
Kings shall shut their mouths because of him,
for that which has not been told them they see,
and that which they have not heard they understand.
3) Day of the Lord Prophecy
Very peculiar in their structure. Like
Isaiah 13. John MacArthur calls them near/far prophecies. In a Day of the Lord Prophecy the prophet can begin in an ancient Day of the Lord event to do with the Babylonians, and then can seem to peer down through the millennia to the final and ultimate Day of the Lord event that will include all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Luke 21 is like Isaiah 13 but in reverse. Here the Prophet begins at the culmination of the event, but then at verse 12 (But before all this), then backspaces to the original Day where the Lord will act, then at verse 25 concludes with the culmination. The chapter is split into thirds.
4) Judaic Prophecy
These are CONDITIONAL in nature. Prophecies that pertain specifically to Ancient Israel. IF you do this, then I will do that. IF they put away the bodies of their dead kings, THEN show them the plan of the Temple.
"If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God
5) Apocalyptic Prophecy
Apocalyptic Prophesy has unique characteristics. These are the final end time prophecies. These prophecies hold to chronological order. Each of these have a beginning point in time, and an ending point in time. In Revelation, when that chronological order is broken, and the subject matter changes, a new prophecy will begin. There are 17 Apocalyptic prophecies, and 18 prophetic time periods, in the Books of Daniel and Revelation.
Peaceful Sabbath.
