Therefore, when John is commanded to measure the temple sanctuary and those priests worshiping in it, it is a sight that nothing can prevent the fulfillment of Jehovah's purposes regarding the temple arrangement and those associated with it, and those purposes are nearing their climax. Now that all things have been placed under the feet of Jehovah's strong angel, it is the time for "the mountain of the house of Jehovah" to become "firmly established above the top of the mountains." (Isaiah 2:2-4) Jehovah's pure worshp must be exalted, after centuries of Christendom's apostasy. It is also time for those of Jesus' faithful brothers who have died to be resurrected into the "Holy of Holies." (Daniel 9:24; 1 Thessaloniand 4:14-16; Revelation 6:11; 14:4) And the last sealed ones on earth of "the slaves of God" must be measured according to the divine standards in order to qualify for their permanent place in the temple arrangement as spirit-begotten sons of God. The John class today is fully aware of those holy standards and is determined to measure up to them. - REVELATION 7:1-3; MATTHEW 13:41, 42; EPHESIANS 1:13, 14; compare ROMANS 11:20.
