3 Bible Commentaries on Revelation 11: 1
If we look up different references where the word “Naos” is used for temple, we do find that it is used for the physical temple as well, but it goes to mean the sanctuary,the holy place and the holy of holies.

Can anyone explain what Revelation 11:1 regarding the Temple means…I have been taught over the years that this is talking about a rebuilt Temple that the Jews will build to start their business of worship & so forth(animal sacrifices)& etc..during the Tribulation…but is this correct? the word Temple here i found is naos, meaning a spiritual house not a physical place of worship,which the word heiron does mean..
thanks…for his glory

I may add that even in Rev.11:1, the word “Naos” means the sanctuary; for we have also here in this chapter the reference to the outer court given to the gentiles. So the text does go to be speaking about the material temple.
