Donna asked yesterday about the 1335 day period. I
can see more than one possible interpretation of this. Daniel is not clear
on whether this 1,335 days starts at the same time as the 1,290 day span, or
whether it starts at the END of that same 1,290 day span. Let's take a
look at the possibility of both...
Theory 1: 1,335 days starts same time as
1,290, and thus ends 45 days after Abomination of
Desolation
Under this theory, the Abomination of
Desolation is set up 30 days after the 7 years ends. After it is set up, the armies surround Jerusalem and spend
approximately 20-45 days maneuvering into position, calling on Jerusalem to
surrender, as they continue to refuse, and then they attack, leading to the
events in Revelation 12, which allows the woman to flee into the wilderness to
safety. The remainder of the 45 days is spent with the woman fleeing into
the wilderness and being pursued. So the timeline becomes....
- 7 years: Covenant of Daniel 9:27
- 7 years, 30 days: Abomination of
Desolation.
- 7 years, 30 days + X days: X is amount of time
armies take ot surround Jerusalem. The woman flees into the
wilderness
- 7 years, 75 days: The woman has reached the safe
haven in the wilderness.
- 7 years, 75 days plus 3.5 years: Yeshua
returns.
Theory 2: 1,335 days starts when 1,290 ends,
or there's 1,335 days after the Abomination of Desolation.
Under this theory, the end of the 1,335 days would be
Armageddon. The last 42 months of Rev 12-17 starts 75 days into the 1,335
day period.
Theory 3: 7 Year Trib Theory
Under the 7 year trib theory, the 1,335 days
makes no sense whatsoever, because it ends 75 days after Yeshua
returns. All that does is make me scratch my head. In fact,
it's made most people scratch their head and say "What? That does
fit!" Well of course it doesn't fit because the Messiah's
return is not at the end of the 7 years of Dan 9:27. More stuff happens
after that ends.
There's got to be SOME gap between the end
of the 7 years in Dan 9:27 and the 1,335 days ending. Those who try to say that the 7 years of Dan 9:27 ends at Armageedon
have a serious problem because some sort of great blessing would happen 75 days
AFTER Yeshua comes back.
