1. Temple Worship - John is given a 'measuring tool.' A measuring tool is used for a very specific task and with it, he is told to do three types of measuring. Just one item of significant note; this measuring tool measures by God's standard of measurement.
a. Evaluate - John is told to measure the temple and the altar as well as to count the worshippers. We could spend much time addressing the 'temple' issue (as in what temple is this), but simply put, in all likelihood this is a templ ...
