Summary and Conclusion....cont'd...

@brakelite: And you'll know that as an adventist I was always going to offer something different...
Revelation 11 Commentary
The above commentary must be seen in perspective as a chronological piece around the turn of the 18th century... The end of the 1260 years of papal supremacy in Europe, and the total rejection of God in the French revolution... The destruction of all Christian literature and the burning of Bibles and subsequent establishment of atheism and secular humanism as an official government sponsored belief system developing into communism, and the resulting persecution against God's people.
@Base12: In the Tabernacle in the Wilderness, the Outer Court contained two main items of significance...
1) Brazen Laver
2) Brazen Altar
If we were to look into the deeper meanings of said items, we would find that they represent a type of dichotomy.
The Brazen Laver would represent the Sea of Glass while the Brazen Altar would represent the Lake of Fire.
Personally, I've always viewed Outer Darkness, and those that are 'bundled' in it, as a temporary storage area before burning.
This scenario would fit in with the Brazen Altar and the 'Slaughter Tables' of sacrifices that wait to be burned.
Thus, the Brazen Laver/Sea of Glass are the Wheat (Saved) that are to be cleaned while the Brazen Altar/Lake of Fire are the Tares (Unsaved) that are to be burned.
@Helen: I believe the outer court is just " the rest of the gang" that make it in by the skin of their teeth...
Where God does measure it is what He is interested in... perfection ( not of ourselves) and union -with the Son . The measure of all those who overcame.
