Obviously, this chapter talks about the 'beast' that ascends out of hell which puts the timeframe in the great tribulation. The Temple will be rebuilt before this takes place.
Does anyone know what the forty-two months are here in Revelation 11:2?
Revelation 11:2 NASB
“Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months.
I do not see this.Obviously, this chapter talks about the 'beast' that ascends out of hell which puts the timeframe in the great tribulation.
I do not see this either.The Temple will be rebuilt before this takes place.
Most believe that it occurs after the rapture, where every Christian believer is taken from the earth where we'll meet with The Lord in the air. There are seven seals which will begin the unfolding of God's Mystery, seven angels who blow their trumpets, each of which announces a new level of God's outpouring of wrath upon the earth for men's un-belief. Some believe the rapture takes place in the middle of the great tribulation while others believe in a post-trib rapture; and still others believe there is no rapture. I've read several books describing and decrypting the book of Revelation but don't agree with everything in any of them, having determined a different viewpoint from what I read in Scripture and taking into account my experiences with God. Every time I read The Bible I get more from It and I don't believe that will ever come to an end. God has patience with sin but one day that patience comes to an end. There's flying scorpions and 35 pound rocks falling from the sky and 1/3 of fresh water turning bitter and 1/3 of the oceans turning to blood in those days, among other things.When is the Great Tribulation and what is it about?

Yup.Will another temple be built?
Nope. It will come after God's Mystery is revealed. You need to read Revelation and I suggest using several commentaries, so that you can see what the symbols represent and what events will take place in earth and in Heaven.Has Revelation 11:2 already taken place?
Me too.I am assuming that Revelation 11:2 deals with a real temple.
Been there. Done that. I have several T-shirts.You should start over with wanting to know what the scriptures reveal rather than having your own ideas or experiences that you want scripture to be reconciled with.
You haven't looked very closely, then. I didn't, either, until I studied Revelation, in depth.Many people believe in a seven year tribulation. I don't. I haven't seen one in scripture.

Why not a temple that has already existed?Me too.

Revelation is in chronological order. The first seal isn't broken yet. The first angel hasn't sounded.Why not a temple that has already existed?

I believe, again, from what I've gleaned: the Antichrist will rule the earth for half the tribulation and then men will become even more evil than him and take over his enterprises. I've read several prophecies and even seen dreams (from myself and others) that coincide with this theory.
He hasn't revealed the meaning of all of Daniel yet, but Daniel 9:27 depicts a week of years (seven).
