Chapter Twent-Five/Reviving the Two Witnesses - Measuring the Temple Sanctuary - Conclusion

 Therefore, when John is commanded to measure the temple sanctuary and that priest worshiping in it, it is a sign that nothing can prevent the fulfilling of Jehovah's purposes regarding the temple arrangement and those associated with it, and that 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 worship must be exalted, after centuries of Christendom's apostasy. It is also time for those of Jesus' faithful brothers who have died to the resurrected into "the Holy of Holies. (Daniel 9:24; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-16; Revelation 16:11; 14:4) And the last sealed ones on earth of "the slaves of our God" must be measure 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.
