What happens now. the New World Order....

[ewq1938]

In Bible Prophecy a day is sometimes given for a Prophetic Year which is regarded as a year literally. The principle is that in Bible prophecy, you must substitute a period of a year in place of a day. This is the day=year principle. This equation is clearly established in scripture:

Numbers 14:34
King James Version (KJV)
34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

In this verse, a relationship between day and year is clear, each day will equate to a literal year. For the forty days that Israel spied in Canaan in unbelief, they would be punished by wandering forty years in the desert.

Ezekiel 4:6
King James Version (KJV)
6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.

Here again, the equation is stated quite openly, a prophetic day represents a literal year, as you see.

That's not a rule. That's two isolated examples.

Gen_7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

Noah on the Ark for 40 years? LOL

That is negated by the other timeframe of 42 months which happens at the same time. That means the 1260 days, is in days matching the 42 month timeframe. The beast has a period of 3.5 years, so too do the two witnesses.

Do you apply this made up rule to the days the two prophets lie in the streets in Rev 11?

1260 days @ 30 days per month = 42 months = 3.5 years. Could there possibly be a connection?

Contextually, accounts of Events and specific Prophecies re time frames are different.
When asked how long it will be before the baby arrives, one might say, 'it could be a couple of days' do we specifically mean 2 days or 3 days maybe 4 days....or even possibly 1 day?
It's most often a loose expression which is not designed to pin a particularly time period down.
Hebrew has idioms that work the same way. The 40 days expression could mean 40 days or 41 days or 39 days. The inherent meaning is more or less.

You have not read your Bible nor understood how prophetic days were set. Look first at how in ancient times the year was held to be at 360 day and the prophets understood a year as 360 days is well attested, and can be seen in the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation as seen in the use of "time, times and half a time". This is 1+2+0.5=3.5, or "1,260 days" or "42 months". These references represent a period of 1260 years (based on the 360 day Jewish year multiplied by 3.5). Divide 1,260 days by 42 months and you will get a 30-day month, as 12 months of 30 days equals 360-days in a year

These time periods occur eight times in scripture:
Daniel 7:25, "time, times and a half".
Daniel 9:27, "half one set of seven".
Daniel 12:7, "time, times and a half".
Revelation 11:2, "42 months".
Revelation 11:3, "1260 days".
Revelation 12:6, "1260 days".
Revelation 12:14, "time, times and a half".
Revelation 13:5, "42 months".

We see it in the following Bible verses referring to the period translated, "time".

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Daniel 7:25

And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. Daniel 12:7

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. Revelation 12:14

The "time, times and half a time" the "1260 days" and the "42 months" are all the same time period..

 

[ewq1938]

The "time, times and half a time" the "1260 days" and the "42 months" are all the same time period..

And neither is 1260 years.
