1. SIGNChapter 4.
The Holy City
Read these words of God carefully.
「 Rise and measure the "temple of God,"
and the altar, and them that worship therein.
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." 」
(Revelation 11:1,2)
The above verses are the first part of Revelation 11,
which predict the events prior to the appearance of the two witnesses.
Those verses have led many believers to wait
for the Third Temple to be built.
For they believe that the words
“the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months”
will be fulfilled only after the Third Temple to be built.
"But, you believer."
Those words mean neither the Third Temple nor Jerusalem.
I proved in the previous chapter that
"the temple of God" is not "the Third Temple."
It doesn’t make sense that Jerusalem is descirbed as
"Sodom, Egypt" in the same chapter 11,
verse 8, if "the Holy City" is "Jerusalem."
You see? God sees Jerusalem as Sodom and Egypt.
We already know that "the temple of God" is "the body of believers."
Bear in mind that and read the following verses.
