# Revelation 11
## 11:1-2
### What was John told to measure?
[11:1]
God told John to measure the temple of God. However, scholars do not know exactly what God was talking about.
1. Some scholars think God spoke about measuring the church. Those inside of the temple were Christians. That is, those who obeyed God and worshipped him in the right ways. Those outside of the temple were those who said they were Christians, but who did not believe in Jesus. Or perhaps they did believe in Jesus but did not worship God in the right way.

See: [Temple](../articles/temple.md)
### Why was the outside of the temple given to the Gentiles for 42 months?
[11:2]
The Gentiles were all the people who were not Jews. However, in the Bible, people who do not believe in Jesus or do not obey God are also called Gentiles.
1. Some scholars think God spoke about how people who did not obey God will rule the church or rule Christians for a long time. They think that each day was a symbol for a year.

### How long is 42 months?
[11:2]
42 months is 1260 days. In the Jewish calendar, a month is 30 days long. Some scholars think that a day is one day long. Fewer scholars think that a day in the book of Revelation is a symbol of one year. That is, it is 360 or 365 days.

## 11:3-12
### Who were the two witnesses?
[11:3]
The names of the two witnesses are not in the Bible.
1. Some scholars think they were Enoch and Elijah. This is because they were the only people in the Bible who never died (see: Hebrews 11:5; 2 Kings 2:11).

### Why did the prophets wear sackcloth?
[11:3]
These two prophets wore sackcloth. This was a cloth that was heavy and rough to touch. It was not comfortable. In the Bible, people wore this cloth so that other people will know they were sad or mourning something bad.
See: [Prophet](../articles/prophet.md)
### Why did John talk about two olive trees and two lampstands?
[11:4]
John was thinking about Zechariah 4 when John wrote this. The olive trees and lampstands were symbols of something. Scholars think the two olive trees and the two lampstands are both metaphors for the two witnesses.
**Advice to translators**: A witness is someone who tells other people about what they saw. These witness told people the things God wanted them to say. Someone who tells people about Jesus is also a type of witness.
See: [Symbol](../articles/symbol.md); [Metaphor](../articles/metaphor.md)
### When does fire come out of the mouths of these two men?
[11:5]
John said fire will come out of the mouth of the two witnesses. Some scholars think this will happen to kill anyone who attempt to hurt them. Other scholars think this is a metaphor. God will protect them. God will hurt anyone who attempts to hurt these two men.
**Advice to translators**: A witness is someone who tells other people about what they saw. These witness told people the things God wanted them to say. Someone who tells people about Jesus is also a type of witness.

### Will it rain when the two men prophesy?
[11:6]
Scholars think that it will not rain when these two men prophesy. This might be in Jerusalem or all over the world.
See: [Prophecy (Prophesy)](../articles/prophecy.md)
### Who is the beast?
[11:7]
John said a beast will kill these two men after 1260 days. Some scholars think this beast is Satan or the antichrist. They think Satan or the antichrist will kill the two prophets. Other scholars think John talked about leaders who killed Christians.

### What was the bottomless pit?
[11:7]
In the Bible, hell is called a bottomless pit.
See: [Hell](../articles/hell.md)
### Why is the great city called Sodom and Egypt?
[11:8]
John called Jerusalem the great city. However, he also called Sodom and Egypt the great city. These two cities were very evil. Therefore, John wanted to say that in the same way the people in Sodom and Egypt were evil so were the people in Jerusalem evil. They were so evil that they did not allow God’s prophets to be buried after they died. This dishonored the dead prophets.
See: [Prophet](../articles/prophet.md)
## 11:13-14
### How did Jerusalem collapse?
[11:13]
When John said that Jerusalem collapsed, he wanted to say that part of the city of Jerusalem was destroyed.
