"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."
The term Gentiles are those who are not counted by God as worthy of Zion. These includes Israel as well the Gentile nations. They are numbered among the sanctified ones and are covered by 144,000. "And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her./The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there."(Ps.87.5-6)
Blessed are those who found favour. "Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple."(Ps.65.4) From the same Gentiles there are those who are enemies to Christ. The Spirit has illustrated this two groups at the cross. "And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us./ But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss./ And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom./ And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise."( Lk. 23.39-43)
Both malefactors were justly under condemnation but one found grace who pleaded with a right spirit, 'remember me'. Thus one was blessed and the other was not judged. The nation of Israel will resist and 42 belongs to the sons of perdition and the beast derives his power from the dragon. "and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."(Rev.13.5-8) The name of Israel shall not be found in the book of the Lamb. Death of two witness and the city of Jerusalem is judged as with Sodom and Egypt. (Rev.11.8)

In the last para second line:Thus one was blessed and the other was not judged.
Please read it as,"Thus one was blessed and the other was condemned."
