B. The Rebuilt Temple: Revelation 11:1-2.

B. The Rebuilt Temple: Revelation 11:1-2.
There are five temples:
1. Solomon’s,
2. Zerubbabel’s,
3. Herod’s, (standing at the time of Christ and destroyed in 70 A.D. by Titus and the Roman Army),
4. Antichrist’s Temple, spoken of here in Revelation 11,
5. Christ’s Temple that will stand during the Millennium (Ezekiel 40-48). 
“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 11:1)
“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) 
We know this is the rebuilt Tribulation Temple, as the Antichrist makes a covenant with Israel almost immediately after the Rapture (Daniel 9:27). A dear friend of mine for many years who had visited Jerusalem several times, and was a missionary to the Jewish people, and had this to say concerning the Tribulation Temple. "The Jewish Rabbis had revealed to him that the Temple structure was already pre-cut and needed only to be assembled, and which could be erected within a couple of months. The water supply and modern facilities are already there to flush the blood of their sacrifices to the Brook Kidron and on down to the Dead Sea."
Then, after 3 ½ years, the Antichrist breaks his covenant with Israel and seats himself in the Temple, declaring himself to be God. He is described in 2 Thessalonians 2:4,
“Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
The Antichrist seeks to exterminate all Jews, if he can. (Read Matthew 24:15-22). According to Zechariah 13:8-9, only one out of three Jews will survive in their land. The Jews will be run out and the Gentiles will occupy their land, Jerusalem, and the area adjacent to the Temple in worshipping the Antichrist.
“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)
This is the fulfillment as the Gentiles will totally dominate the Holy City (Jerusalem) and the court which is outside the Temple “is given unto the Gentiles.” They will tread under foot, i.e. occupy, Jerusalem for forty-two months. This is the last 3 ½ years of the Tribulation, before Christ comes in judgment and will establish His Kingdom for a 1,000 years. There will be no Jews in Jerusalem, as they are scattered throughout the world. (Matthew 24:15-22)
