Revelation 11:1-2 The Temple of God Trampled (November 24, 2024 PM, Rev. Michael Grasso)

In Revelation 11:1-2 Ezekiel is told to measure the temple. The inner parts of the temple represent where God has communion with his people. This represents the blessings of the people of God in the presence of God during the time between the first and second coming of Christ. During this same time, however, the outer courts are given over to the Gentiles to be trampled. We are told, therefore, that the church is both blessed in the presence of God, but that there will always be suffering and persecution in this life.
