REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Five - Measuring the Temple Sanctuary

Note: To my readers, my computer is messed up. I finished this paragraph yesterday, and I see this morning that half of it disappeared. That happens when I a typing as well.  Also, I wanted to let you know that after Thursday, my computer will be  having a RAM put in, so I will not be able to do any blogs.  As soon as I get it back. I will be doing them again, most likely unti the day I die. This is for Jehovah God.

 John is told to "measure the temple sanctuary of God and the altar and those worrshipig it." What does  this imply?  In the Hebrew Scripture prophecies, such measuring provided  a guarantee that justice, tempered with mercy,  would be rendered on the basis of Jehovah's  perfect standards in the days of wicked King Manasseh, the prophetic   measuring of Jerusalem testified to an unalterable judgment of destruction on that city. (2 Kings 21:13; Lamentations 2) Later however, when Jeremiah saw Jerusalem  being measured, this confirmed that the city would be rebuilt. (Jeremiah 31:39; see also Zechariah 2:2-8) Likewise the extensive and detailed  measuring of the visionary temple witnessed by Ezekiel was guarantee to the Jewish exiles in Babylon that true worship would be restored in their homeland. It was also a reminder that, in view of their errors, Israel henceforth had to measure up to God's holy standards. - Ezekiel 40:3, 4; 43:10.
