Revelation 11:1

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

11:1

Then there was given me a measuring rod like a staff: (Jesus, the Word, the Plumb Line. We line up our lives to be measured against the Word. Psalm 23) and one said, Get up, and measure (The measuring line, Isaiah 28:17; And I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the level; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place. Jeremiah Chapters 41 and 42.) (NOTE: Revelation 21:15,16;)

the temple of God,(We are the temple of God, I Corinthians 3:16.) and the altar, and those that worship in it. (The sanctuary, Holy of Holies. Hebrews 9:11-15.) God wants us to measure our lives against the Word, in all areas. I John 4:1; where He says to Test every spirit, to see whether they are from God; means: to test, to see if it lines up with the Word, if it doesn’t throw it out. (Ezekiel 41-43; Ezekiel 43:10,11)

Revelation 11:2

And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given to the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

11:2

And the court which is outside (Outside of the Light, the nations; heathen Ezekiel 42:14;) the temple (The body) leave out, and measure it not; (Against the word, to line up the plumb line and the level of Righteousness. Do not judge The natural man, the heathen. Matthew 7:1;) I Corinthians 5:13; Those who are outside God  judges.  for it has been given to the nations: (Word # 1482, Ethnos; a multitude whether of men or of beasts associated or living together a company, troop, nation, people group in not worshipping the true God, Pagans The natural man, the Heathen, the Gentiles;) and they shall tread under foot (Have under control) the holy city (God’s people) forty-two months. (Time, times and a half of a time; 3 ½ years; 1260 days. The first half of the hour of salvation. #42;) [Zedek’s note: F.B. sees this period as the entire period of time from Jesus’ crucifixion to the establishment of his kingdom at his second coming.  I agree with him.  This is the only interpretation of this that makes sense to me.]

In Matthew 1:17; the Number 42, is the number of the Generation of Jesus and is associated with the Comings of Jesus: both His first coming and His second advent (He came into the world the first time in the 42nd generation from Abraham). He is coming back for His saints at the end of the 42-month reign of the beast, perhaps 42 months during the beast’s reign, while His saints are in the wilderness. He will return to the earth at the end of the 42-month reign of the beast to put an end to the wicked reign. The number 42 also indicates the timing of entering into the promised land, since there were 42 camp movements in the wilderness by Israel; they crossed over the Jordan to the Promised Land on the 42^nd movement. Like the Israelites coming out of Egypt, our goal is to cross over and possess our inheritance and enter into the rest and promises of God for eternity. The 43^rd movement is possessing the land. 4 +3 = 7; (The number  (#7) is the number of Divine, complete, endless, covenant and perfection.) This comes when the fight of faith is no more, when doubt and fear no longer can attack. Jesus will return and come for us before the end of 2009.  We are the 42^nd Generation about to embark on the 43^rd movement to possess our land. The number 43 is the same as 430, which means: Dividing and separating, separation from sin, other side, a dividing. Israelites were in Egypt 430 years. Genesis 11:17  Eber (source of the word “Hebrew” opposite or other side Jordan) lived 430 years after he begat Peleg  (Word #6389 Peleg, meaning; a division). To divide and separate from the sin nature. After 430 years in Egypt, God swore that that generation would be done away and not enter the promised land.

Numbers 32:13; The Lord’s anger burned against Israel and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in the sight of the Lord were destroyed.

Now one generation is destroyed and another given hope of salvation. The Lord says in,

Luke 9:56; For the Son of man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.

Matthew 24:34; Truly I say to you, this generation (42) will not pass away until all these things take place.”

Exodus 13:3,4;

Moses said to the people, “Remember this day in which you went out from Egypt, from the house of slavery; for by a powerful hand the LORD brought you out from this place. And nothing leavened shall be eaten.:4; On this day in the month of Abib, you are about to go forth.

As we leave Chapter Ten of Revelation and the little book, we immediately see the same time periods mentioned as in the Book of Daniel. The last half of the Daniels’ 70^th week is not only The Latter Day Rain, but also the time rain is withheld (Understanding of the Truth) by the two witnesses and the time when Satan spews out of his mouth the flood of lies. So, there is a water of words are filling the earth. God’s covenant of the Rainbow is that He would never again destroy the Earth with a flood.  God’s messengers Of The Word, His Angels, are waging war with the dragon. (Elijah predicts drought, i.e., no rain [Understanding] except by my Word. I Kings 17:1; 18:1;)

Daniel 9:26 

 And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood (Of lies) And till the end of the war,  desolations are determined. (Isaiah 10:23 A desolation overflowing with Righteousness.)

The silence of ½ hour found in Revelation 8:1 and this forty-two months is the same 3 ½  year period of no rain of spiritual words and thoughts on the Natural  or Carnal Man.  I Kings 17:1.18:1; (Note Revelation 8:1;10:4;11:3,6;12:6;)

The battle is the Lord’s

II Corinthians 10:3 

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we (Those who are Spiritual) are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 and we (FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT) are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete. (Perfect)

The beast or the man of sin is to be destroyed with the brightness of our Lord’s coming. “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. (II Thessalonians 2:7-8)

II Thessalonians 2:11-12 

with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie. 12 that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (Note Revelation 9:7,9; 12:6)

Isaiah 66:4;

I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. False Prophets Quote right from the Bible which is the Word of Truth, but they only give you half truth of the word, therefore turning the Truth into a lie. Most false prophets believe what they are saying, but isn’t that true of most habitual liars. The strong delusion is that they should believe half truths that do not give the full picture of Truth. Satan tried this as a false prophet with Jesus, but Jesus knew the full word, and was not deceived. 

Matthew 4:1-11 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter (Satan) came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He (Jesus) answered and said, It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, (Jesus) answered and said, It is written, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God. 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me. 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, (Jesus) answered and said, It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve. 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him

Here are the scriptures listed where we see the same periods of time.

(Time, times and a half of a time; 1260 days; Forty-two months) 

(Note: Same color script, is the same event)

Daniel 7:25 - ‘He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. No Rain; Rain withheld; Satan’s Flood of lies.

Daniel 12:7 - I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters (Words of Truth and lies, Both Good and evil spoken for God’s purpose. I Samuel 16:14-16;  I Kings 22:22,23)    Both Truth and lies,  of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these will be completed. (NOTE: Revelation 12:15)

Revelation 11:2  Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months. No Rain Rain withheld; Satan’s Flood of lies.

Revelation 11:3  And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth Latter Day Rain

Revelation 12:6,7 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by God, so that there she would be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days. 7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon Latter Day Rain  (Note: Revelation 9:9; 11:7;12:6,7,12) Same time as Green Script

Revelation 12:14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. Latter Day Rain Same time as Green Script

Revelation 13:5 There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. No Rain; Rain withheld; Satan’s Flood of lies.

Theses time periods (Time, times and a half of a time; 1260 days; Forty-two months) all end with the same spiritual meaning: That is, Christ’s appearing. Either Christ is formed within us, making us a “Son of God” (1260 is the Gematria for the SONS OF GOD) When we see Him we will be like Him!
