Critically Think

• Read Revelation 11:1-2.
• Who is present or referred to in this account?
• Describe the instructions that were given.  List the commands.  
• Who spoke to John in this passage?
• Where is the “holy city”?  See Isaiah 52:1, Luke 21:24.
• Is there a biblical distinction between the temple and the court?  See 2 Chron. 29:16, Ezekiel 44:19, 46:19-20. 

Prayerfully Meditate

• Describe how the nations will respond to God and the holy city.  Also see Luke 21:20-24.
• What are the distinctions between what was to be measured and what was not?  Why do you think this was the case.
• What is the distinction between the two groups of people in this passage?  What is the significance of this considering the time it will take place?
• What is stated about the forty-two month period?  Also see 13:4-6.
• Why will the nations respond to the holy city as described here?  Also see 13:4-6.
