NO LONGER USED AS OF AUGUST 2025 – Replaced by The Tribulation study.

The 3 1/2 years to come

The purpose of this study is to prove that there is a 3½ year time period described by God’s prophets.

Several scriptures refer to a 3½ year time period, and it is described in several different ways.

• In Revelation 12:6, the 3½ years are mentioned as a thousand two hundred and threescore days which numerically means 1260 days.
• In Revelation 12:14, the 3½ years are mentioned as a time, times, and half a time.
• In Revelation 11:2, the 3½ years are mentioned as 42 months.

Each of these time segments equals the same amount of time. There will be a 3½ year time period in the future for God’s people and the rule of the Beast.

Using a Hebrew lunar calendar of 360 days for a year, we can calculate that there are 30 days in a Hebrew month. Take the 1260 days and divide by 30 days of a lunar month and this results in 3½ years.
