2
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.
2
but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months.
2
But exclude the courtyard outside the sanctuary. Don't measure it, because it is given to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months.
Revelation 11:2 In-Context
1
I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers.
2
But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.
3
And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4
They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”
5
If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.
