ITS LENGTH, THE SEVEN YEAR
TRIBULATION PERIOD, REVELATION CHAPTERS 6 - 19
The period is the seventieth week of Daniel’s great prophecy recorded in
Daniel 9:24-27. Half of the time is said to be 42 months or 1,260 days (Rev
11:2-3). This, of course, is based on 30-day months which has sometimes been
considered as an invention of students of prophecy. Notice, however, that
30-day months are found in non-prophetic passages such as Genesis 7:11, 24
and 8:4, and Numbers 20:29, Deuteronomy 34:8 and 21:13 where a 30-day period
of mourning was called a full month. This 7-year period is divided into two
equal parts by the breaking of the treaty which will be made at the
beginning (Dan 9:27). Both parts will be characterized by intense
persecution and judgment. MOODY THEOLOGY CD
