Amen and amen. Good morning and welcome. You can be seated.

Glad you're here. Are you glad you're here?

Yes. Okay. Can I ask online people if they're glad they're watching?

I want to welcome you as well. So we're going through the Bible as you know,

book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse verse and we have reached the last book of the Bible revelation.

But unlike the last few weeks where we took an entire chapter all at once, we're not going to do that today we're only going to do two verses is

that okay all right well it has to be here's why though by the way there's a lot

here in fact the whole chapter there as say, there's more than meets the eye.

And as I started preparing and praying, as I always do, I realized not to rush through this particular chapter.

I know there are some of you that are very excited about chapter 12. We'll get there

if we're still here by the time we're done with chapter 11. But right now,

my sense was from the Lord that he has a word for us in just the first two verses.

So for those that are able, I ask you to stand,

you can follow along as I read our very lengthy passage today,

if not where your seated is fine, but just follow along,

where John continues to write,

that which he was told to write,

which is that which he saw.

So, verse one, I was given a read like a measuring rod and was

told go and measure the temple of God and the altar with its worshippers but

exclude the outer court.

Do not measure it because it has been given to the Gentiles.
