Revelation 11:2

2 Exclude the outside court; don't measure it. It's been handed over to non-Jewish outsiders. They'll desecrate the Holy City for forty-two months.

Revelation 11:2 In-Context

1 I was given a stick for a measuring rod and told, "Get up and measure God's Temple and Altar and everyone worshiping in it.
2 Exclude the outside court; don't measure it. It's been handed over to non-Jewish outsiders. They'll desecrate the Holy City for forty-two months.
3 "Meanwhile, I'll provide my two Witnesses. Dressed in sackcloth, they'll prophesy for one thousand two hundred sixty days.
4 These are the two Olive Trees, the two Lampstands, standing at attention before God on earth.
5 If anyone tries to hurt them, a blast of fire from their mouths will incinerate them - burn them to a crisp just like that.
