What does the court represent? (Revelation 11:2)

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 11:2 - King James

 

 

⚪ The condition of progression toward complete Justification

Rev. 11 [...] 11:2. But the court which is [without] WITHIN the Temple leave out. — The court here represents the same thing as la represented In the Court of the Tabernacle in the wilderness, the condition of progression toward complete Justification. And measure It not. — Devote all attention to the higher privileges of the "Holy". The "Court" was merely provided as a proper approach to the "Holy".

⚫ False children of God

Rev. 11 [...] The instruction is not to measure the court outside the temple but to "cast [it] outside" (Roth.), because it symbolizes those who merely profess to be God's children but who are not. Source : 🇺🇸 1930 - Light, Vol 1, page 189 + Cover
