I would like to take a look at some of the key words used in Reve 11:1, 2 in relation to the OT and Revelation and perhaps bring more clarification to that divine Covenantle Book
The word "Sanctuary"<3485>
The majority of Bible versions use the word "Temple"<2411>, which is never used in Revelation.
Here are the verses where the word Temple is used in YLT:
Genesis 1:1 (YLT)
G2411 ἱερόν (hieron) occurs 71 times in 67 verses [not used in Revelation]
Now the word Sanctuary is used in YLT:
Genesis 1:1 (YLT)
G3485 ναός (naos) occurs 46 times in 40 verses
Revelation 11:
1 And was given to me a reed like-as rod saying "rouse! and measure! the Sanctuary<3485> of God and the Altar[Golden Altar] and those worshiping in it
2 and the Court/fold<833>[Priests/Lavar/Altar of Sacrifice] outside of the Sanctuary, be casting-out!<1544> out-side<1854> and no it thou should be measuring, that it was given to the Gentiles/Nations.
And the holy City they shall be treading<3961>forty two months.
=========================
STRONGS NT 3485: ναός ναός, ναοῦ, ὁ (ναίω to dwell),
the Sept. for הֵיכָל, used of the temple at Jerusalem, but only of the sacred edifice (or sanctuary) itself, consisting of the Holy place and the Holy of holies (in classical Greek used of the sanctuary or cell of a temple, where the image of the god was placed, called also δόμος, σηκός, which is to be distinguished from τό ἱερόν, the whole temple, the entire consecrated enclosure; this distinction is observed also in the Bible;
He is also visited by the Arch Angel Gabriel who announces the future birth of John the Baptist.
It appears to be the only place outside of Revelation showing a Priest performing this ceremony in the NT.
G3485 is 1st used in Luke in only 4 verses
Luke 1 YLT
Luke 1:
and the sun was darkened, and the Veil of the Sanctuary was rent in the midst,

A few versions that use the correct word "Sanctuary":
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Then I was given a measuring reed like a rod, with these words: "Go and measure God's sanctuary and the altar, and count those who worship there.
Weymouth New Testament
Then a reed was given me to serve as a measuring rod; and a voice said, "Rise, and measure God's sanctuary--and the altar--and count the worshipers who are in it.
Young's Literal Translation
And there was given to me a reed like to a rod, and the messenger stood, saying, 'Rise, and measure the sanctuary of God, and the altar, and those worshipping in it;

It is 1st used in Luke concerning John the Baptist' father, who was a Priest of the course of Abjah and he is seen in the Sanctuary of God during the hour of making and burning incense.see ἱερόν, p. 299{a}): Matthew 23:16f, 35 27:40; Mark 14:58; Mark 15:29; John 2:19; Revelation 11:2; nor need Matthew 27:5 be regarded as an exception, provided we suppose that Judas in his desperation entered the Holy place, which no one but the priests was allowed to enter ((note the εἰς (others, ἐν) of T Tr WH)). with Θεοῦ, τοῦ Θεοῦ, added: Matthew 26:61; 1 Corinthians 3:17; 2 Corinthians 6:16; 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 11:1; used specifically of the Holy place, where the priests officiated: Luke 1:9, 21f; of the Holy of holies (see καταπέτασμα), Matthew 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45. in the visions of the Revelation used of the temple of the 'New Jerusalem': Revelation 3:12; Revelation 7:15; Revelation 11:19; Revelation 14:15, 17; Revelation 15:5f, 8; Revelation 16:1, 17; of any temple whatever prepared for the true God, Acts 7:48 Rec.; Acts 17:24. of miniature silver temples modeled after the temple of Diana (i. e. Artemis (which see)) of Ephesus, Acts 19:24. ὁ Θεός ναός αὐτῆς ἐστιν, takes the place of a temple in it, Revelation 21:22. metaphorically, of a company of Christians, a Christian church, as dwelt in by the Spirit of God: 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Corinthians 6:16; Ephesians 2:21; for the same reason, of the bodies of Christians, 1 Corinthians 6:19. of the body of Christ, ὁ ναός τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ (epexegetical genitive (Winer's Grammar, 531 (494))), John 2:21, and according to the Evangelist's interpretation in 19 also. ((From Homer on.))
He is also visited by the Arch Angel Gabriel who announces the future birth of John the Baptist.
It appears to be the only place outside of Revelation showing a Priest performing this ceremony in the NT.

Luke 1 YLT
Luke 1:
Luk 23:458And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his course before God, 9according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make perfume, having gone into the Sanctuary of the Lord, 10and all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the hour of the perfume.
11And there appeared to him a Messenger of the Lord standing on the right side of the Altar of the perfume, 12and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;
13and the Messenger said unto him, ‘Fear not, Zacharias! for thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John,
14and there shall be joy to thee, and gladness, and many at his birth shall joy, 15for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and of the Holy Spirit he shall be full, even from his mother’s womb; 16and many of the sons of Israel he shall turn to the Lord their God, 17and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared.’
18And Zacharias said unto the Messenger, ‘Whereby shall I know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?’ 19And the messenger answering said to him, ‘I am Gabriel, who have been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to proclaim these good news to thee, 20and lo, thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, till the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, that shall be fulfilled in their season.’
21And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his tarrying in the Sanctuary, 22and having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that a vision he had seen in the Sanctuary, and he was beckoning to them, and did remain dumb.
23And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
24and after those days, his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying — 25‘Thus hath the Lord done to me, in days in which He looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.’
