But exclude the courtyard outside the temple The phrase "exclude the courtyard outside the temple" refers to a specific instruction given to John in his vision. The Greek word for "exclude" is "ἐκβάλλω" (ekballo), which means to cast out or leave out. This indicates a deliberate action of separation. The "courtyard" (αὐλή, aulē) was a part of the temple complex but not the inner sanctum. Historically, the temple's outer courts were accessible to Gentiles, symbolizing a place of lesser sanctity compared to the inner areas reserved for Jews. This exclusion signifies a boundary between the sacred and the profane, emphasizing the holiness of God's dwelling place. Do not measure it because it has been given to the nations and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months (1) all mankind whatsoever; or (2) that portion of mankind which is left when the true Church of God is withdrawn, and therefore which embraces the unrighteous part of mankind in contrast to the godly (cf. Revelation 2:26; Revelation 14:8; Revelation 16:19; Revelation 18:23; 22:22). The latter is the signification here. And the holy city shall they tread underfoot. The holy city - Jerusalem - always in the Apocalypse the type of the Church. "They shall tread" need not necessarily refer to "the nations," though the context naturally leads to this signification; but it may be impersonal, amounting to no more than "the holy city shall be trodden underfoot." St. John seems to apply the words of our Lord concerning the literal Jerusalem to the description of the fate in store for the typical Jerusalem (cf. Luke 21:24). "The nations" are the instrument by which the Church is trodden underfoot, and the mention of the Gentiles in connection with the apostate portion of the Church leads to the description of the oppression of the faithful by the world. The seer is bidden to take courage by a contemplation of the numbers of those preserved by God, but is warned, nevertheless, not to expect from that fact immunity for the Church from the persecution of the world. Forty and two months. Καί, "and," is inserted contrary to the common practice when the larger number precedes (so also in John 2:20; John 5:5). This period of three years and a half is certainly symbolical. It is the half of seven years - a perfect number. It therefore denotes a broken, uncertain period; a space of time which is certainly finite, but the end of which is uncertain. This seems to point necessarily to the period of the world's existence during which the Church is to suffer oppression. This period is mentioned (1) in ver. 3 under the form of twelve hundred and sixty days, where it denotes the same period that is referred to here; . . .
