What time period is Revelation 11 describing?
Revelation 11 describes events during the Tribulation, including God's wrath, judgment of the dead, reward for servants, and the opening of God's temple in heaven where the Ark of the Covenant is seen, accompanied by lightnings, voices, thunderings, earthquake, and great hail.
Les teaches that Revelation 11 covers events taking place during the Tribulation, a time when things are getting rough on the earth. In verses 18 and 19, the nations are angry, God's wrath has come, and it is time for the dead to be judged and for reward to be given to God's servants, the prophets, the saints, and those who fear His name, small and great. God will destroy those who destroy the earth. Then the temple of God is opened in heaven, and the Ark of His Testament, or Covenant, is seen, along with lightnings, voices, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail. Les also notes that some claim to know where the Ark of the Covenant is, and Israel will frantically look for it when they rebuild their temple, which is not too far in the future.
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
