Verse 2
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Ver. 2. But the court ] The antichristian rout, cast out as reprobate silver, as refuse stuff, not worth the measuring.
Given unto the Gentiles ] Antichrist and his adherents. Pa-pagans are no better than Pagans. "Are ye not the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord,"Amos 9:7; Amos 9:7 .
The holy city ] The true Church. See Daniel 7:21 ; Ephesians 2:19 .
Forty and two months ] This number is one and the same with 1260 days. The allusion is unto Daniel 7:25 .
