How long is 1,260 days in Bible prophecy?
In Bible prophecy, 1,260 days equals three and a half years. This time period appears as the duration of the two witnesses' prophesying in Revelation chapter 11, starting at the onset of the seven-year period. The same span is described as the end of the three and a half years when they are called up.
Les explains that the 1,260 days given to the two witnesses equals three and a half years. In Revelation chapter 11, at the very onset of the seven years, God sends the two witnesses to Jerusalem to proclaim salvation to Israel. Their ministry is connected with the sealing and sending out of the 144,000 to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom. At the end of the three and a half years, they are killed, their bodies lie on the streets of Jerusalem, and a voice from heaven says, “Come up hither.”
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
