Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 11:4

Here is a manifest allusion to Zechariah’s vision, Zechariah 4:2,Zechariah 4:3,Zechariah 4:11-14, though with some little difference. He saw a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which were upon the top thereof: and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 11:1-19

THE FATE OF JERUSALEM AND ITS TEMPLECRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESTHE paragraph, Revelation 11:1-13, gives the contents of the “little book,” which are in part joyful and in part bitter. The marking off of a portion of the temple answers to the sealing of the hundred and forty-four thousand in chap. 7.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 11:1-19

Revelation 11:1 . There was given me a reed like unto a rod to measure the temple of God, the new-testament church. The prophet of old had a similar vision, and all the prophets spake of the enlargement of Christ’s kingdom. Ezekiel 40:2-5. Micah 4:1-2. John also was to measure the altar which stood in the inner court; and the altar here is figuratively understood, as in the epistles of Ignatius, who considered a separation from the altar as an exclusion from the church. The altar is a... read more

Revelation 11:1-19Rise, and measure the temple of God.The living temple of Christ’s Church and the two witnesses of the Word written and the sacramentsThe temple and altar, and them that worshipped therein, were capable of measurement. They were not like the unorganised multitude, formless, creedless, undisciplined, without the court. The temple, the altar, and its priesthood and the worshippers, have strength of form and organisation, and the beauty of order. So the apostles organise the... read more
