The Prophecies of Revelation 11 & 12 and Daniel 12


This short article is about the 1260 days (42 months) that the two Witnesses described in Revelation Chapter 11 prophesy on the streets of Jerusalem clad in sackcloth and the relationship of their days of service with the 1290 and 1335 Days that are given at the end of Daniel Chapter 12. Daniel was told that the end of these days was the end of everything Daniel saw.

First, look at the 1260 days of Revelation chapter 11, when the two witnesses serve at the end just before Yahushua comes to destroy evil and punish the nations that have oppressed His people. Daniel 12 says the end of all the matters Daniel had seen was 3 1/2 moedim until they (the adversaries) had ended scattering (dividing) His people. Then He says, “From the time when that which is continual is taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate is set up to the end will be 1290 days”. Then it says, “blessed are those earnestly waiting till 1335 days”. Remember that Daniel 12 is at the very end and is the exact time of Revelation 12:7-17. In both cases, Michael stands up for His people and defeats satan and his angels, and in both places, the time till the end is 3-1/2 moedim, then Yahushua (who is coming in the name of His Father) comes out of His place (Isaiah 26:21) to destroy the evil and punish the nations that oppressed His people. We can also see in Isaiah 26:5 that YHWH will bring down those on high (satan and his angelic followers). The same appears in Isaiah 24:21 as follows. And on that day, it shall be that YHWH punishes on high the host of exalted ones and on the Earth the sovereigns of the Earth. This time is when the Earth is staggering like a drunkard. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and be punished after many days. Isa 24:23  And the moon shall blush, and the sun shall be ashamed, for YHWH of hosts shall reign on Mount Tsiyon, and in Yerushalayim, (compare to Rev.14:1)d and before His elders, in esteem! Footnote: d Isa_12:6, Isa_16:5, Isa_46:13, Isa_52:8, Isa_59:20, Psa_102:16, Eze_43:7-9, Joe_3:17 and Joe_3:21, Mic_4:7-8, Zep_3:14-17, Zec_1:16-17, Zec_2:10, Zec_8:3-8, Zec_14:1-11, Act_1:6-7, Rev_21:1-27

Notice the two witnesses serve 3 1/2 years. Now Daniel is told: Daniel 12:3, “And those who have insight shall shine like the brightness of the expanse (Matthew 13:43, same time as Daniel 12:3), and those who lead many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. Then, in verses 8-10, we are told that those who have insight will understand what is hidden till the end. 12:8  And I heard but did not understand, so I said, “My master, what is the latter end of these matters?”

9  And he said, “Go, Daniel, for the words are hidden and sealed until the end.

10  “Many shall be cleansed and made white and refined. But the wrong shall do wrong – and none of the wrong shall understand, but those with insight shall understand.

The point I am making is all we are talking about here is happening just before Yahushua comes to start the millennial reign.

THE ONLY CALENDAR ON EARTH THAT THESE DAYS CAN WORK WITH IS THE QUMRON PRIESTLY ORDER CALENDAR.

Revelation Chapter 11 begins with 42 months, 3.5 years. This time was described as the 1260 days that the two witnesses would walk the streets of Jerusalem doing their work. Most do not notice that 1260 days is not 42 months. It is Enoch’s language. It represents 1260 degrees of the sun’s yearly rotation, which is 42 months. When you start the 3.5 years of the two witnesses at Yom Teruah, you end up on the first day of the year on the Zadok-Enoch calendar. Daniel was told the greater end would be 1290 days, assuming the exact starting date (seen in the parallels between Daniel 12 and Revelation 11 & 12). This time would be the last day of month one after the 3.5 years have ended. The 1335th day falls precisely on Shavuot. Shavuot is when the wheat harvest’s first fruits (two loaves of leavened bread) are offered (Matthew 13:24-43, the darnel is pulled and burned, and the wheat is to be placed in the storehouse). This time is the same time satan is thrown out of heaven in Revelation 12: 7-17. In 12:10, it said, “Now have come the deliverance and power and the Reign of our Elohim. We will be delivered from all evil. In Revelation 11:15, after the two witnesses are killed and raised on the third day, the seventh trumpet is blown, saying, “The Reign of this world has become the Reign of the Master and His Messiah, and He shall reign forever and ever.” It says the same thing as Revelation 12:10 and Daniel’s 1335th day. This Shavuot is when the descendants of Adam, who are producing fruit for YHWH, will be made into the image and likeness of Elohim (the Father and Son).

These time  periods will not work on any lunar calendar!!!

This is when the descendants of Adam that are producing fruit for Yahuah will be made into the image and likeness of Elohim (our Heavenly Father and His Son).

This Shavuot is the time described in Matthew 13:24-43, Revelation Chapters 11, 12 & 14, Joel Chapters 2 & 3, Ezekiel Chapters 36 through 39, Jeremiah 31, and all of the books of Zephaniah and Obadiah, to mention a few.

In Mark 4:13, Yahushua tells the apostles that if they do not understand the seed parables, they will be unable to understand them. The knowledge of evil is removed from our reasoning, which is the complete fulfillment of Yom Kippurim.

I need to explain something concerning the Excel charts, each being a complete 49 years.

The Calendric Signs (Otot) (4Q319) show that Gamul, which begins the cycle Adam was created, starts his duty week three days in the previous year. These Excel charts we have made show the whole week of Gamul. Every year begins in the middle of the service of the priest who begins that year. So, on the charts, the first service of each year has three days of the previous year in that first priest’s duty. This must be considered if an exact date is being sought on the chart.

    Thank you Conner for replying to my questions. Yes, this is a lot to process but it is very exciting to study about the timing of the details of the end-time prophecies. I will start by re-reading your article on Generational Curses, and if you could also send me your 60 page article, I will study that as well.

    I have been a believer and Torah keeper for over 50 years now and have been waiting all these years for Yahuah’s kingdom to come. Finally, we see end-time prophecy coming quickly together….so many events are happening lately, it’s hard to keep up with everything. Yahuah is opening up the closed books (Daniel 12:9) so that we (those who have spiritual eyes to discern) can now clearly see that the time of man’s rule on earth is just about up and that we are very close to the return of His Son. It is a very exciting time that we are living in, but at the same time very sobering, for my heart weeps at the wickedness in the world and all the suffering and unsurmountable problems that we face.

    But the good news is that the Messiah is coming (in just a few short years) to set up His Kingdom, will eradicate all evil and wicked rulers and restore all things. What a blessing it is to know these things.
    Shalom,
    Constance

    P.S. I look forward to reading your e-book as well when you have it completed. Take care…..

    I have been following the Zadok Calendar for a few years now so I agree that the days in Daniel 12 and in Revelation must line up with the days on that particular calendar. Also, years ago, I came to believe that that the followers of Yahusha would be resurrected on the Day of Pentecost (Shavuot) because of the meaning of the day and the fact that the Holy Days each represent a significant event in Yahuah’s Plan of Salvation. Your article is helping to sort out the timeline but I still have questions.
    So, what you are saying is that the Two Witnesses begin their ministry on the Day of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) which lasts 3 1/2 years. After 1260 days, their ministry ends on the first day of the Quran Calendar which adds up perfectly. So do they die on that day? Are they resurrected back to their physical life 3 days later and then wait until the 1335 days are up to be resurrected to spirit with the rest of the saints?
    Also, what day does the Beast of Revelation begin his authority (Revelation 13:5-7) if he is thrown into the lake of fire at the coming of Yahusha’s return. Would that be on Yom Turah as we have always been taught? It appears from your article that the 42 months of the Beast and the 1260 days of the Two Witnesses are not on the same time frames. Could you elaborate as to how all these end time events line up and how they compare with each other.
    If the year of Yahusha’s return is in 2030 (as many are now showing much proof of), that means the Two Witnesses will show up on Yom Teruah in 2026

      Constance, thank you for your comments. I Have an article that answers all you ask with much more information but it is 60 pages long. So, I will just address each of your questions here, then send you the article also. I suggest you read the article “Generational Curses” on zadokcalendar.org. If you have read it, read it again, because I just placed an updated version on that site yesterday. Through many literary parallels it is able to determine the chronological order of all the end time events that are coming. The articles I will give you will explain how all that works, but for now I will say that the 42 months that Jerusalem is given to the nations to trample under foot, is the same time as the 1260 days that the two witnesses serve in Jerusalem (Reference Revelation 11:1-2. At the end of the time of their witness the beast shall come out of the deep and kill them, and their bodies lie in the streets for three days, then they are raised from the dead and stand up, and are called to go up to Yahuah (Reference Revelation 11:7-14). Next is the seventh trumpet and the Reign of Yahuah and His Messiah is restored in Revelation 12:15(Reference Revelation 12:10, Psalms 2:8,22:28, Daniel 2:44, 7:13-14, Obadiah 1:15-21, Haggai 2:22, and Zechariah 14:9). The reference given here for Revelation 12:10 is the same as Revelation 11:15, when satan has been defeated and thrown out of heaven and can not return. Revelation chapter 12 is the same time as Daniel chapter 12. Through the connections between these two chapters it can be seen that the 1290 days, and the 1335 days immediately follow the 1260 days that the two witnesses have served. When you begin the count of the 1260 days on Yom Teruah they end on the first day of the year on the Zadok calendar. The 1290 days of Daniel fall on the last day of the first month and the 1335 days fall exactly on Shavuot in that year. This time is also tied to Matthew 13:24-43, which describes it at the wheat harvest, Shavuot. In this particular year the knowledge of evil is removed from the descendants of Adam. Matthew chapter 13 is tied to Joel chapters 2-3 and revelation chapter 14, through them all being at a time from Shavuot to Sukkot. Back to Daniel 12 as follows. Dan 12:1  “Now at that time Miḵa’ěl shall stand up, the great head who is standing over the sons of your people. And there shall be a time of distress, such as never was since there was a nation, until that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book, 
      Dan 12:2  and many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth wake up, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches, everlasting abhorrence. 
      Dan 12:3  “And those who have insight shall shine like the brightness of the expanse, and those who lead many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. Notice in verse 2 there is a resurrection, some to everlasting life and some to reproaches, and everlasting abhorrence. This indicates they are resurrected to make a decision. This is the same time as in Revelation 14:8-12 as follows.
      Rev 14:8  And another messenger followed, saying, “Baḇel is fallen, is fallen,b Isa_21:9 that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her whoring.” Footnote: bAlso see Jer_51:8. 
      Rev 14:9  And a third messenger followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark upon his forehead or upon his hand, 
      Rev 14:10  he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Elohim, which is poured out undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he shall be tortured with fire and sulphur before the set-apart messengers and before the Lamb. 
      Rev 14:11  “And the smoke of their torture goes up forever and ever. And they have no rest day or night, those worshipping the beast and his image, also if anyone receives the mark of his name.” 
      Rev 14:12  Here is the endurance of the set-apart ones,c here are those guarding the commands of Elohim and the belief of Yashuah. Footnote: cSee also Rev_12:17. 
      What can be seen here is just after Babel falls the mark of the beast is offered, which is the decision that has to be made at this time. I said previously that this is also tied to Joel chapters 2 and 3. In Joel 3:14-15 this time is called the valley of decision and sun and the moon become dark and the stars loose their light. This is the sign of Yashuah’s second coming that he gave in Matthew 24:29.
      The cool thing is the knowledge of evil has been removed from the descendants of Adam, so they will be making that decision in full knowledge. It can not be made through deception of force, or the statement that is made many times in end times prophecy “every man dies for his own sin” would not work. If you will also notice the resurrection is for some of those who sleep in the dust. This is because those who have chosen to hate Yahshua and His Father in full knowledge will not be resurrected to be judged till the white throne judgment at the end of the Thousand Year Reign of Yahshua.
      We are now looking for the abomination that makes desolate and the service of the two witnesses to start the clock for His second coming.
      Messiah 2030 is good and right except it fits Pesach 20230 which begins the second Exodus. Yahuah (Yahshua coming in His Fathers name which He has given Him) is on the Shavuot when the knowledge of evil is removed from the descendants of Adam, but He will not be seen till the middle of Sukkot of that year, which is 2029 (Reference Isaiah 26:21-22). This begins the plagues of Revelation on the evil and the removal of sin from the earth.
      This is a lot to digest, if you want we can talk or even a zoom. I am putting all the articles together that prove all I am saying by two to three witnesses at the mouth of Yahuah or Yahshua, in a ebook. I hope to have the first addition out very soon. Just send me another email to let me know if I can help you more.
      Shalom
      Conner
