TIME
Besides the ordinary uses of this word, the Bible sometimes employs it to denote a year, as in Daniel 4:16; or a prophetic year, consisting of three hundred and sixty natural year, a day being taken for a year. Thus in Daniel 7:25; Daniel 1:12, the phrase "a time, times, and the dividing of a time" is supposed to mean three and a half prophetic years, or 1, 260 natural years. This period is elsewhere paralleled by the expression, "forty-two months," each month including thirty years, Revelation 1:11-3; Revelation 1:12, Revelation 1:12; Revelation 1:13.
