Dan 12:
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

"when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people"
"it shall be for a time, times, and an half"

Three and a half years is the first half of the last "week" of years, as given in Daniel 9.


Dan 9:24-27
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince  that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (KJV)

The second half of this "week" of years has been shortened "for the elect's sake".

Matt 24:22
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. (KJV)

Let turn to Revelations to see this first 3 1/2 years of the original seven years ("week" of years).

Rev 12:14-17
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (KJV)


"from the face of the serpent"
This "serpent" is Satan's government of fallen angels.
The "from the face of the serpent" then refers to their being (physically) before us, visible.
So, it is three and a half years, that Satan's government, which was cast into the bottomless pit (a dimension lower than the earthly dimension, which is a place of degradation). And, from this pit, the fallen angels of Satan's government cast forth an evil spiritual "flood": "And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.".

But, this flood was not felt only by "the woman" (YHVH'S Assembly...HIS elect), but also was felt by the whole world: "And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth."

So, during these past three and a half years ("a time, and times, and half a time") the "flood" caused the whole world to become saturated with these evil thoughts and the flood of lies.

How does this three and a half year period conclude?

Dan 12:
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. (KJV)

"And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."

The difference in "a thousand two hundred and ninety days" and the "thousand three hundred and five and thirty days" is '45' days.

Now, what have we seen and what was prophesied concerning these '45' days?

Dan 7:3-6
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. (KJV)

How long was the 'war' against this "beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side" which had "three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh."?

Three full weeks, and the "ships of Chittim" destroyed the "beast" "like to a bear" from the inside out...even as he had intended to devour us, we killed it from within.

Then, what is next?
"After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it."

The beast "like a leopard" which has "four heads" speaks of those who are "not of our spot".
These "four heads" of the "leopard" are very subtle, as a leopard preparing to pounce upon it's prey.
Could it be that this preparation time, before the "leopard" pounces, could be three weeks ('21' days)?

Dan 10:2-21
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.


Dan 10:
12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.


Dan 10:
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

"the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days"
This speaks of a "prince" of Satan's, "of the kingdom of Persia".

Dan 10:
14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
15 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
16 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
18 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
19 And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.


Dan 10:
20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.

"and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come."

Which "prince" shall come to the people of the end times?
"the prince of Grecia shall come"

Dan 10:
21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince. (KJV)


Ok, let us look at all of this.
As YAHSHUA was fighting in Heaven with the "prince of Persia", we on earth were fighting "beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side". And, we prevailed against this "beast" (government).

As YAHSHUA returned to Heaven, it was to continue this fight against "the prince of Persia".
But, on earth, "when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come."

Now, let us look at this period of '45' days again.
"And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."

The end of the first three and a half year period concludes with a period of '45' days.
There was '21' days of the 'beast like a bear', '21' days of the 'leopard with '4' heads preparing to pounce, and then 'three and a half days' for the plucking up of three heads from 'man's government (the multi-headed, flesh man's, united government ).

'Three and a half days' is the time it takes for an entity to 'travel' through time and space to another dimension.
Now, this is calculated according to earthly time....heavenly dimensional time is measured differently.

'45' days = 21 + 21 + 3.5

During that last 3 1/2 days, the world's governments shall be stirred to all come against each other when the '3' are plucked up (out).
This battle shall be so frightening to all the world, that most of the world shall be praying to their 'God' to come and save them from this.
And, after this is when Satan's spurious government of fallen angels arrives in the sight of man.


Let us look at the following one more time:
"And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."

"a thousand two hundred and ninety days" (3.53 years) these working for Satan,
either in the earth or from the pit, had been busy spiritually removing / taking the world away from YAHSHUA / YHVH.

"And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined."

"destroy the city and the sanctuary" refers to destroying YHVH'S Government/Law and HIS Religion/Truth.
" and the end thereof shall be with a flood"
"and unto the end of the war desolations are determined."


"Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."
" thousand three hundred and five and thirty days" is 3.65 years.

So, it is '45' days to complete this period of time before Satan's spurious government arrives in the sight of flesh man. And, their arrival is for a purpose...to "set up" "the abomination that maketh desolate".
