Mike,

             That is a really great thought. I’m sure that you are on to something very important there.

I, for one, get stuck trying to figure it out, because I see the LORD use the thousand year / day relationship, which would make an hour to be 41⅔ years. However, the LORD sometimes uses a day / year relationship, like in Daniel 9, which would make one hour to be 15⅕ days. So perhaps the ten kings reign with the beast 41⅔ years, 7 years, 3½ years, 15⅕ days, or even some other duration, I’m actually not sure. Yet, I’ve always believed it to be the 3½ years, rather than the other numbers.
