What do the final seven years in Daniel 12 refer to for Israel?
The final seven years in Daniel 12 refer to the Tribulation, a period when God will again deal with Israel on the basis of His covenant promises. It includes the time, times, and half a time—three and a half years—when the power of the holy people is scattered.
Les explains that the man clothed in linen swore it would be for a time, times, and half a time—one year, two years, and another year—totaling three and a half years. This aligns with Old Testament prophecy, Paul's writing in Thessalonians, and John's Revelation. Les teaches that this speaks of the final seven years when Israel will come to the place where God deals with them again on the basis of His covenant promises. Daniel heard but did not understand.
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
