Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
11:2-3 The outer courtyard in the Jerusalem Temple, outside the stone warning fence, was regarded as the place for the Gentile nations. John makes a clear distinction between the people God recognizes and those he does not. • The 42 months and 1,260 days refer to a period of three and a half years, or a broken seven (see study notes on Dan 7:24-25; 8:26; 9:24-27). John repeatedly uses these time designations in Revelation when persecution is evident and evil appears to dominate the world. God’s people will be secure in him (see study note on Rev 11:1) even though God allows evil forces to persecute them (see 13:7; Mark 10:30).
