Scripture tells us that the duration of the first half of the Great Tribulation is 1,260 days (3 ½ years). This is the duration of the time between two significant events. They are the signing of the covenant with Israel by the Antichrist initiating the Great Tribulation, and the Abomination of Desolation, which is the mid-point event. Scripture also tells us that the last half of the Great Tribulation will also be 1,260 days counting from the Abomination of Desolation to the demise of the Antichrist. This is a total of seven years.
The Daniel 12:11-12 passage gives us two additional figures. The first is 1,290 days, or an additional thirty days, during which time the Abomination of Desolation will remain in the Temple before it is removed. The second figure is 1,335 days which as another 45 days beyond the 1,290, and 75 days beyond the 1,260 days. A special blessing is pronounced upon those who survive to the 1,335th day. The blessing is that those who survive will enter into the Messianic kingdom. Many will not make it that far, even though they made it to the end of the Great Tribulation. Here is a summary of the different events and time points:

I’m Excited To Hear! Dr. Woodhead, I’ve not heard your perspective on this Scripture yet, but when I do, I am assured that it will be right on spot! I have been wondering about that 75 day interval and God led me to your lesson. Dr. Woodhead, when I want to hear teaching from someone I know who’ve studied hard to attain God’s excellence in rightly dividing the Word of Truth especially pertaining to eschatology, I know where to go. There are very few men who still speak truth according to God’s Word and who’ve not fallen off the band wagon.
I thank God for you and the very few.
