Talk:Thousand two hundred and threescore days

check out 1260 years and pope was killed

“The woman fled into the wilderness

to a place prepared for her by God,

where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.”

The time period covered, 1,260 days,

figures to 42 months, or 3 1/2 years.

This prophecy has not yet been fulfilled

but will be during the end-times tribulation.

The 42 months refers to the reign of the Antichrist,

specifically, the last half (3 1/2 years)

of the seven-year tribulation.

At the beginning of that time,

the Antichrist will break his covenant with Israel

and set up “the abomination that causes desolation”

Mark 13.14; cf. Daniel 9.27

an act that links the Antichrist to Antiochus Epiphanes,

who similarly defiled the temple.

The Antichrist will then turn his attention

to the genocide of the Jews.

During the persecution, Israel (the woman of Revelation 12)

will be protected by God in the wilderness.

Also during that troubled time,

God will send two witnesses

to perform miracles and proclaim the truth of Christ

in the face of the Antichrist’s lies

Revelation 11.5–6

The detailed prophecies contained in God’s Word

are part of what makes the Bible unique

among religious texts.

Our God can “make known the end from the beginning,

from ancient times,

what is still to come” Isaiah 46:10

and He has revealed significant events in the future,

counting out the very days of those periods of time.
