Hello John and Doves,


Please stay with me on this as I think I may be on to something. I will attempt to make it easy to follow. Comments in brackets are mine.


Revelation 11 tells us:- I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the Temple of God (which is currently in heaven) and the altar with it's worshipers but exclude the outer court because it has been given over to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.


The "outer court" is referring to to the earthly Temple Mount, as oppose to the heavenly Temple of God. It is called the 'outer court' because it is outside of heaven. Once I recognised this, a lot fell into place.


Revelation 6:14 tells us that the heavens will recede - like a scroll ( and can be seen by those on earth.) Matthew 24:27 tells us - "When you see, standing in the holy place, the abomination of desolation spoken of through the prophet Daniel - LET THE READER UNDERSTAND. Why is the reader being urged to understand? I believe this is because it is taking place in heaven - visibly seen by people on earth - because the heavens have rolled up like a scroll and can be seen from earth. After all, Matthew 24:27 says " For as lightening that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be".


So - if I am correct - it is in the heavenly Temple of God ( which is now visible from earth, in the prophetic future) that Satan sits on God's throne and proclaims himself to be God as per 2 Thessalonians 2:4 - which tells us:- "He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped so that he sets himself up in God's Temple (which is currently in heaven) proclaiming himself to BE God. Hopefully, you are all still with me here. Because I believe that it is this act of defiance and blasphemy that gets Satan kicked out of heaven and thrown to earth. The following will clarify this train of thought.


In Revelation 12, we are told:- Then a war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough and THEY LOST THEIR PLACE IN HEAVEN. The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to earth, and his angels with him. Revelation 12:10 goes on to say, " NOW has come the salvation and power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuse them before our God day and night, has been HURLED DOWN.


There are many scriptural references in this post. I will be linking the entire chapters of each reference as they give the whole overview. Please take note of all the cross references.


I feel that I haven't done this subject the justice it deserves. There are so many things pointing to this theory. Because there is no way that an earthly Temple - built by human hands and aided and abetted by the AC - that Almighty God would call His Temple. Holding His Holy Throne. One where the old temple sacrifices will resume and be pleasing to God??? We seriously have to use our common sense here. A faux, hastily built temple - completed with the 'blessing of the AC' , just isn't going to cut the mustard.


Thank you, LORD God Almighty. In Jesus' beloved, precious Name.
