"The temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein." and "And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: (Rev.11.1,19). This ought to tell us that the congregation (Rev.14.1) is waiting for the temple of God to open. The ark of his testament has nothing of the articles relating to the ark of the covenant under the Law of Moses. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?'( 1 Cor.3.16-17)Body also includes the altar and saints redeemed from the earth who are on mount Sion. Final measurement of it is given Rev.21.16.
"But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months." (11.2) The court is the world, "And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness"( 1 Jn 5.19). Forty two months is a tag for the nations which persecute the vulnerable. They taunt the poor as slackers and deny support that they well need."He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker."(Prov.14.31) The two witnesses signify all the martyrs since Abel. (Mt.23.35-36) 42 months also is a tag for "Ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?"(23.23)
"And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them./ And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand." (11.12-13). The number 7x1000 show wrath of God which is determined by the Law. The same earthquake is mentioned at the opening of the sixth seal. Wrath of the Lamb is repeated in terms of the day of the Lord.Now the earthquake in terms of the Word become flesh, " and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent."(Mt.27.51)
The Temple of God is in fact the house of prayer for all nations. Isa.56.8. Only a remnant from Israel is let in. Mk 11.17
