Duran, yes, here we are on the same page. I also see it as that. Many in Christendom want a third temple to be built. The followng scriptures explain the real meaning of the temple. If one understands this, a lot of things start making sense.
16 Do YOU not know that YOU people are God's temple, and
that the spirit of God dwells in YOU?
17 If anyone destroys the temple of
God, God will destroy him; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] YOU
people are. (1 Cor. 3:16, 17)
16 And what agreement does God's temple have with idols?
For we are a temple of a living God; just as God said, I shall reside among
them and walk among [them], and I shall be their God, and they will be my
people. (2 Cor. 6:16)
21 In union with him the whole building, being harmoniously
joined together, is growing into a holy temple for Jehovah.
22 In union with him YOU, too, are
being built up together into a place for God to inhabit by spirit. (Eph. 2:21, 22)
6 For it is contained in Scripture, Look! I am laying in
Zion a stone, chosen, a foundation cornerstone, precious; and no one exercising
faith in it will by any means come to disappointment.
7 It is to YOU, therefore, that he
is precious, because YOU are believers; but to those not believing, the
identical stone that the builders rejected has become [the] head of [the]
corner,
8 and a stone of stumbling and a rock-mass
of offense. These are stumbling because they are disobedient to the word. To
this very end they were also appointed. (1 Pet. 2:6-8)
Just about the contents, sequence and length of the GT that we differ. I follow in the main the natural chronology of Revelation, with a few exceptions. This I compared to Jesus' sermon on the Mount, especially Matthew's version. You construct your timeline according to events. So as time progresses, we will see what actually transpires.
Are you aware that 42 months = 1,260 days = time, times and half a time = 3 1/2 (prophetic) years? One month = 30 days. Daniel and John in Revelation use the same time keeping standard. And both Hebrew and Greek dictionaries confirm this.
On the other hand, seven means heavenly perfection. I will hold on to my seven years, until I am proven wrong. What puts me off from the seven years number is that Christendom also believe in a seven year tribulation period based on Daniel (9:27). Here I believe they are in error. The seventy weeks of Daniel is a unit which can be proved by grammar. So, the seventy weeks applies exclusively to Jesus' first coming. As you might have noticed, I use a different method of calculation.
Hour of judgment = GT/42-months? According to the book of Revelation, an hour is a relatively short period
of time, definitely not 42 months. [Rev. 3:3; 11:13; 14:7, 15;
17:12; 18:10, 17, 19]
Hour of judgment is about to start (Rev. 14:7). Next he
discusses the fall of Babylon and the fate of those worshipping the beast. In
v. 14, we read of the son of man and the great harvest which is Armageddon. I believe the GT would have run its course by then.
The following is the
only mention of “hour of test” in the book of Revelation. The following assurance was
given to the first century congregation of Philadelphia: “Because you kept the
word about my endurance, I will also keep you from the hour of test, which is
to come upon the whole inhabited earth, to put a test upon those dwelling on
the earth.” (Rev. 3:7, 10)
