Top Highlights
“In this establishing shot, John himself is involved in the scene. Someone, presumably an angel, handed John a measuring rod—not unlike a modern yardstick. A voice instructed him to measure the temple of God, the altar, and the worshipers (11:1). This may sound like a strange thing to do in the midst of the cross fire of earthshaking judgments. However, remember that John was still licking his lips and rubbing his belly after eating a sweet and sour scroll, so strange assignments seem to have been the order of the day!” (Page 164)
