How shall one interpret the temple of God? In the wilderness God gave the measurements and the command,'even so shall ye make it."(Exod.25.9) In the two visions we have the angel telling Ezekiel,"Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee"(Ezek.40.4). God commanded Ezekiel,"Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel."(Ezek.3.1) He is the double for Jesus Christ who is the Word made flesh. In Rev.10 we have this 'migthy angel' to distinguish the angel who serves as his cicerone, a fellow-servant. This establishes where this measuring shall take place. In the World of the Spirit where the risen Christ is designated as an angel Jesus cannot contradict himself and in resurrection they are. "but are as the angels of God in heaven."(Mt.22.30) So consider the entire temple of God is set up in that world and 'and the altar, and them that worship therein.' are already determined whereas the outer court is not. "But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles." It is to this Isa.2 .2-5 refers.:"And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." These Gentiles are from the Jews and the rest. In this context two dreams of Joseph require special attention. The Bread of His presence in the Holy Place are arranged on their faith; On the far end are the righteous as stars. It is called the House of Prayer for all nations.
Finally what is the measurement, it is John himself, representing the Son, 144,000. "And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel."(Rev.21.16-17)
