Daniel 12:12 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

thousand three hundred and five and thirty days

Three periods of "days" date from the "abomination" (that is, The blasphemous assumption of deity by the Beast, (Daniel 12:11); (Matthew 24:15); (2 Thessalonians 2:4).

(1) Twelve hundred and sixty days to the destruction of the Beast (Daniel 7:25); (Daniel 12:7); (Revelation 13:5); (Revelation 19:19); (Revelation 19:20). This is also the duration of the great tribulation

( See Scofield) - (Daniel 12:4).

(2) Dating from the same event is a period of 1290 days, and addition of thirty days (Daniel 12:11).

(3) Again forty-five days are added, and with them the promise of (Daniel 12:12). No account is directly given of that which occupies the interval of seventy-five days between the end of the tribulation and the full blessing of verse 12 (Daniel 12:12). It is suggested that the explanation may be found in the prophetic descriptions of the events following the battle of Armageddon. (Revelation 16:14); (Revelation 19:21). The Beast is destroyed, and Gentile world-dominion ended, by the smiting of the "Stone cut out without hands" at the end of the 1260 days, but the scene is, so to speak, filled with the debris of the image which the "wind" must carry away before full blessing comes in (Daniel 2:35).
