He took me there. I saw a man who appeared to be made out of bronze. He was standing at the gate of the outer courtyard. He was holding a linen measuring tape and a measuring rod.
I was given a long stick that looked like a measuring rod. I was told,“ Go and measure the temple of God. And measure the altar where the people are worshiping.But do not measure the outer courtyard. That’s because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will take over the holy city for 42 months.
