“Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.” [Daniel 12:7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%2012%3A7&version=NKJV) “And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. 3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” [Revelation 11:2-3](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=revelation%2011%3A2-3&version=NKJV) Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. [Revelation 12:6](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012%3A6&version=NKJV) But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. [Revelation 12:14](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012%3A14&version=NKJV) “And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.” [Revelation 13:5](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013%3A5&version=NKJV) # Notable events in the vision - Power of the Holy people completely shattered and related things finished ([Daniel 12:7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%2012%3A7&version=NKJV), [Revelation 13:7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013%3A7&version=NKJV)) - The woman was flown to the wilderness for the duration.  ([Revelation 12:6](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012%3A6&version=NKJV)) - Dragon makes war with the woman and her offspring for the duration ([Revelation 12:13-17](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012%3A13-17&version=NKJV)) - Gentiles tread the holy city underfoot during this time ([Revelation 11:2](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2011%3A2&version=NKJV)) - Two witnesses prophesy and plague the earth ([Revelation 11:3-6](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2011%3A3-6&version=NKJV)) - And I saw one of his (the Beast) heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed…and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months…and makes war with the saints ([Revelation 13:5-7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013%3A5-7&version=NKJV)) - The time of great tribulation or time of trouble for the saints ### Notes Main elements in this timeline: - Holy people powerless and trampled, or oppressed - Gentiles have control of Jerusalem - Two witnesses show up, prophesy, and plague the ones with the Mark and die at the end - Beast rises a short time before, and during this timeline one of his horns that had been mortally wounded is healed, and is given authority for the entire timeline.  He makes war with the saints and overcomes them This is obviously the great time of trouble referenced in many places.  The people of God are under duress from many directions.  The two witnesses seem to keep the Dragon or Horn of the Beast in check, or at least restrained, from eliminating the people of God during this time.  Very much a real, physical battle as well as a spiritual, or other dimensional battle.  When this timeline ends, there is only a short period of several different events before Christ comes. <span class="center-menu">[[Home Page]]</span>
