Exegesis
The following clause uses the aorist passive ēnoigē {ἠνοίγη | ē-noí-gē} ‘was opened’ with the postposed subject ho naos {ὁ ναὸς | ho na-òs} ‘the temple’, a word order that foregrounds the sudden action of opening before identifying what is opened.
Root and etymology
naosnu–alpha–omicron–sigma
“temple, inner shrine”
In context — Revelation 15:5
And after these things I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.
