Revelation 11:1-19

The details written in Revelation 8:7 - 11:14 pertain to effects or events taking place on earth as a result-of and corresponding-to the previous events which took place in heaven (Revelation 7:9 - 8:6).

In Revelation 11:1-14 John specifically writes according to the instructions he received in Revelation 10:11 - "...to prophesy on peoples and nations and tongues and many kings." Revelation chapter 11 includes part of the details of the effects or events that will follow the sixth angel blowing his trumpet, which is during the second of three woes referred to in Revelation 8:13. The second woe spans from Revelation 9:13 to 11:13.

Also, Revelation chapter 11 is part of what will occur after the opening of the seventh (7) seal of the book in heaven by the little-lamb which is representing the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 8:1). The seventh seal includes the implementation of judgments under seven trumpets (Revelation 8:7 - 14:20) including seven bowls as part of the seventh trumpet blowing (Revelation 15:1 - 18:24). The seventh trumpet with its seven bowls occur during the time of the great pressure of the completing together of the age - and will be followed by the Lord Jesus Christ's return on earth as recorded in Revelation chapter 19.

Revelation 11:1-3:
11:1And there was given to me a reed like a rod, saying, "You must rise-up and you must measure the interior-temple of God and the sacrificial-altar and the (ones) worshipping in it, .2and the uncovered-area, the (uncovered-area) outside of the interior-temple you must throw-out outside and you must not measure it because it was given to the nations and they will tread the city, the holy (city) forty two months;
.3and I will give to My two witnesses and they will prophesy a thousand two-hundred sixty days having been clothed2 (with) sackcloth."

A reed similar to a rod (a staff for training or a scepter of authority and office) was given to me (John) by the angel (who is speaking on behalf of God; refer to Revelation 10:1 and 10) saying...

The 1,260 days (42 months, 3 and 1/2 years) referred to in these verses are the second half of a 7-year period of time that spans from the gathering together of all holy-people (Christians) by Christ away from the earth and Christ's return on earth. Chart

Prior to the time when Jesus accomplished salvation, the "interior-temple" usually referred to the innermost-part, the most sacred area within the temple in Jerusalem, where the only true God's presence was manifested-forth during the old covenant times, called the "Holy of Holies." Today God's interior-temple is not a stone or brick building or other destructible materials such as a physical temple in today's Jerusalem. God's interior-temple is made up of His people who have received the gift of holy spirit, and the Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation - it consists of all holy-people (true Christians) no matter what location we may live in on the earth.

There will again be a temple including an interior-temple area in Jerusalem - between Christ's coming to gather all holy-people together with him in the air...

...and the descending of the new Jerusalem as written about in Ezekiel chapters 40-48. However, in the new Jerusalem the interior-temple will be as written in Revelation 21:22. References regarding this topic are: Matthew 26:61; John 2:19-22; Acts 17:22-31; I Corinthians 3:16 and 17, 6:19 and 20; II Corinthians 6:16; Ephesians 2:19-22; Revelation 21:22.

[Reference: Matthew 4:5, 11:21, 18:16; Luke 21:24; John 8:17; Acts 1:8; II Corinthians 13:1; I Timothy 5:19; Hebrews 10:28-31; Revelation 3:12, 6:12, 7:15, 8:3, 21:2, 10 and 15-17, 22:19. Note: verbs with a superscript 2 (2) immediately following them indicate the "perfect" tense - details are provided in the "Relevant Notes" link of this study.]
