We trace Revelation 11 from the measuring of the temple to the seventh trumpet, weighing literal and symbolic readings of the temple, timeframes, and the identity of the two witnesses. The story moves from sackcloth and scorn to resurrection and reign, asking where our allegiance rests.

• symbolic versus literal readings of the temple
• meaning of measuring and the unmeasured outer court
• forty-two months, 1,260 days, and time, times, and half a time
• identities proposed for the two witnesses
• olive trees and lampstands as church imagery
• the beast’s war, public scorn, and refused burial
• resurrection, ascent, earthquake, and fear
• seventh trumpet, kingdom transfer, and eternal reign
• judgment of nations, reward for servants, small and great
• opened heavenly temple and unveiled ark
