Divide 1,260 days by 42 months and you will get a 30-day month, as 12 months of 30 days equals 360-days in a year These time periods occur ten times in scripture: Daniel 7:25, "time, times and a half". Daniel 9:27, "half one set of seven". Daniel 12:7, "time, times and a half". Revelation 11:2, "42 months". Revelation 11:3, "1260 days".
The day-year principle was partially employed by Jews [7] as seen in Daniel 9:24–27, Ezekiel 4:4-7 [8] and in the early church. [9] It was first used in Christian exposition in 380 AD by Ticonius, who interpreted the three and a half days of Revelation 11:9 as three and a half years, writing 'three days and a half; that is, three years and six months' ('dies tres et dimidium; id est annos ...
The 1290 days of Daniel 12:11, (rather than the 1260 days of Revelation 11:3), is thought to be the result of either a simple intercalary leap month adjustment, or due to further calculations related to the prophecy, or due to an intermediate stage of time that is to prepare the world for the beginning of the millennial reign.

Of special interest to many was the 1260 prophetic day time prophecy of Daniel 7:25. Many concluded that the end of the 1260-day prophecy initiated the "time of the end".

They concluded, to their satisfaction, that the end of the 1,260-"day" prophecy of Daniel 7:25 [9] in 1798 started the era of "time of the end". They next considered the 2,300 "days" of Daniel 8:14.

The "1,260 days", "42 months" or "time, times and dividing of time" of apocalyptic prophecy are equated, and are interpreted as 1260 years, based on the day-year principle. This has traditionally been held to be the period AD 538 to 1798, as the era of papal supremacy and oppression as prophesied in Revelation 12:6, 14–16.
From a number of scriptures in Daniel and Revelation, he took "time, times, and half a time", "42 months" or "1260 days" (Dan 7:25; 12:7, Rev 11:3; 12:6; 12:14; 13:5;) to mean 1260 years of the "Papal age", holding that in symbolic language one day is one year. The 1260 years of the "Papal age" is added to the time that the church lost its ...
Abandoning the literal thousand year millennium, he focused on Daniel's 'a time, two times, and half a time,' if 'a time' represented a year, he concluded, then the period added up to three and a half years – or 1260 days. Uncoupling Daniel from Revelation, he argued that only John's letters to the churches [in the Book of Revelation] in the ...
