People's Commentary (NT)
Revelation 11:2
And the court which is without the temple. This was the outer court,
the court of the Gentiles, the type of the world. This measurement does
not relate to the world so much as to the Church.
It is given unto the Gentiles. Not only it, but
the holy city. By the Holy City Jerusalem is meant when the term
is named literally, but Jerusalem is used often by both Paul and John
as a symbol of the Church. See Galatians 4:26 Heb 12:22 Isa 2:2 52:1 Re 21:2.
Shall they tread under foot. Hence, the prediction is to be
fulfilled by a prostration or desecration of the Church by worldly
influences.
Forty [and] two months. This period is given several times in
prophecy in varied forms. These will all be considered at once below.
Here it will suffice to say that this is a period of 1260 days, and a
day being a symbol of a year, the period meant is 1260 years.
