Rev 11:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : John is told not to measure the outer court, which is outside the temple. This part was sometimes called the court of the Gentiles. It is not part of the true temple and is left out of God’s protection. It will be given to the Gentiles and trampled for forty-two months. This means that people who worship in the wrong way or with false hearts are not accepted by God. The visible church will face trouble and be mistreated for a limited time, but God’s true people will be protected and, in the end, delivered from all their troubles.
