MEASURE THE TEMPLE / REVELATION 11:1

(KJV) Revelation 11:1

And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

Revelation 11 continues an interlude (which began in Revelation 10) prior to the sounding of the seventh trumpet and the final series of revealed judgments. This passage discusses Israel and the temple and gives an evaluation of her spiritual life. The events recorded here occur in the city where the “Lord was crucified,” that is, Jerusalem (Revelation 11:8). Israel is basically still in unbelief regarding Christ during this part of the tribulation. The “temple of God” could not refer to Herod’s Temple, which had been destroyed by the armies of Titus in A.D. 70, twenty-five years before Revelation was written. This may imply the existence of a new temple in Jerusalem in the end times, possibly built after the antichrist makes a covenant with the Jews (Daniel 9:27), but which will later be defiled by the antichrist (Revelation 13:14-15; Daniel 9:27; 12:11; 2 Thessalonians 2:4). The measuring of the temple signifies God’s measuring of the spiritual condition of the Jewish people (Ezekiel 40; Zechariah 2). Measuring in the Bible is often a symbol of preparation for either destruction or preservation, (Numbers 35:5; Psalms 60:6; Isaiah 65:8). In this case, God is certainly looking to preserve Israel.
