What is the secret in Daniel 12:13 about the extra 75 days?
The secret is that the extra 75 days—30 plus 45—are added to the end of the Tribulation, bringing the count to 1,335 days. God knows what He is doing; Daniel is told to be patient, go his way, and rest until the end.
Les explains that the Tribulation is normally counted as 1,260 days, because seven years of 360 days equals 2,520 and is split in half into 1,260 days, or 42 months. Daniel 12 adds an extra 30 days in verse 11 and then another 45 days, for an extra 75 days added to the end of the Tribulation. Les says this is not a mistake; God knows what He is doing. Daniel is told to be patient and wait, coming to the 1,335 days. The secret in verse 13 is tied to why God revealed those extra 75 days after He returns and sets up His Kingdom: Daniel is to go his way, remain until the end, and rest.
But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
