In Revelation 11...
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple [naos] of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
The kjv with Strong's numbers gives some Greek based terms for the temple.
The temple formerly had two walls. One around the entire temple mount complex - and one around the inner court. That configuration of two walls was termed as "hieron", such as was the second temple, sometimes called Herod's temple.
Whereas "naos" as used in Revelation 11:1-2 denotes the central sanctuary itself.
So, John measured the the walled inner court of the naos - which included the brazen altar, for the burning of sacrifices. But not the outer court, i.e the mount platform.
All of which indicates that the temple, when built following Gog/Magog, will initially be built as a downsized version in order to get the temple sacrifices and ordinances going as quickly as possible. The daily sacrifice will begin on day 220 on the 7 year time line - or about 7 months into the seven years.
Here is a pictorial I made of the "hieron", like Herod's temple was. The outer court was called the court of the gentiles. And below it, what John was told to measure.
