The extra 75 days are God's timing for Daniel and the Old Testament saints to stand in their allotted place in the Kingdom.
Daniel 12:11 extends the count from the abomination to 1,290 days, and Daniel 12:12 adds 45 more to reach 1,335 days — 75 days past the end of the Tribulation. Les Feldick connects this period to God's resurrection order: firstfruits, the church, the main harvest, and finally the gleanings, which include the Old Testament saints. Daniel is told to rest and stand in his lot at the end of those days.
Daniel 12:11 — Sets the first extended count (1,290 days) from the taking away of the daily sacrifice and the abomination of desolation.
Daniel 12:12 — Adds the second extension to 1,335 days and pronounces a blessing on those who wait to that day.
Daniel 12:13 — Tells Daniel he will rest and stand in his lot at the end of the days — the promise behind the 1,335-day wait.
The closing verses of the book of Daniel give a precise count of days. In Daniel 12:11, from the time the daily sacrifice is taken away and the abomination that maketh desolate is set up, there are a thousand two hundred and ninety days. In the next verse, Daniel 12:12 declares a blessing on the one who waits and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. Then Daniel 12:13 tells Daniel to go his way until the end, because he will rest and stand in his lot at the end of the days. These verses do not explicitly explain why the numbers extend beyond a 1,260-day count; they simply present the longer count and the blessing attached to the 1,335th day. The Bible itself links the extra period to Daniel's waiting and to his promised rest and standing in his lot at the end of the days.
Les Feldick treats Daniel 12:11-13 as God's own countdown from the mid-Tribulation abomination. He points out that the Tribulation's last half would normally be 1,260 days, but Daniel 12:11 records 1,290 days — an extra 30 days. Daniel 12:12 then extends the count to 1,335 days, adding another 45 days, for a total of 75 extra days after the end of the Tribulation and after the Second Coming. Les emphasizes that the 1,335th day is seventy-five days after the 1,260 days are completed and after the Kingdom has been set up. At that point Daniel will join all those who have already been resurrected. Les explains the reason by placing the Old Testament saints in God's order of resurrection: first the firstfruits, then the church, then the main harvest, and finally the gleanings — the Old Testament saints and the tribulation saints. Daniel 12:13's promise that Daniel will rest and stand in his lot is, for Les, the confirmation that the extra 75 days are the timing for this final group of believers to receive their place in the Kingdom.
Daniel 12:11 gives 1,290 days from the taking away of the daily sacrifice and the abomination being set up. Daniel 12:12 then declares a blessing on the one who waits to the 1,335th day. Les Feldick points out that 1,290 days is 30 more than the 1,260 days of the last half of the Tribulation, and the 1,335-day mark is 45 more than that — a total of 75 days past the end of the Tribulation.
Les connects Daniel 12:13's "thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot" to the 1,335-day blessing. Seventy-five days into the Kingdom, Daniel can expect to join those who have been resurrected before him. Les describes this as the "gleanings" part of the resurrection harvest after the firstfruits, the church, and the main harvest — the Old Testament saints and tribulation saints.
Les places the daily sacrifice being taken away and the abomination being set up at the middle of the seven-year Tribulation, when the Antichrist defiles the temple. The second half is 1,260 days, but Daniel's count extends to 1,290 and then 1,335. This means the extra 75 days come after the Second Coming, when the Kingdom has been set up.
End-Time Awareness
Les notes that Daniel's prophecy says the wicked will do wickedly while the wise understand, setting the stage for the closing countdown of Daniel 12:11-13.
75 Extra Days in Daniel 12
Les shows that moving from 1,260 to 1,290 days adds 30 days, and reaching 1,335 days adds 45 more — a total of 75 extra days after the end of the Tribulation, followed by Daniel's rest.
Resurrection Order
Les ties the 1,290 and 1,335 day counts to the Second Coming and explains that Daniel 12:13 falls into God's order: firstfruits, the church, the main harvest, then the gleanings — Old Testament saints and tribulation saints.
Daniel's Stand in His Lot
Les explains that the 1,335th day is 75 days after the 1,260 days are complete, and at that point Daniel will join the resurrected saints after the Kingdom is set up.
The Third Aspect of Resurrection
Les reminds us there is still a future aspect of resurrection — the corners and gleanings — and points to Daniel 12:11's 1,290-day count from the midpoint abomination when the Antichrist defiles the temple.
Abomination at Midpoint
Les identifies the taking away of the daily sacrifice and the abomination of desolation with the Antichrist's mid-Tribulation takeover of the temple, and shows that Daniel's 1,290 days are 30 more than 1,260.
Daniel's 70th Week
Les explains that the final seven years of Daniel's 70-week prophecy are still future and are the seven-year Tribulation, providing the framework for the 75-day count at its end.
The Seven-Year Tribulation
Les says the Tribulation begins when the Antichrist signs a seven-year treaty with Israel and the seven years are divided into two three-and-a-half-year halves, setting the timeline for the midpoint abomination and the final countdown.
Daniel 12:11: And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Gives the first extension beyond the Tribulation's 1,260-day count.
Daniel 12:12: Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Adds the second extension and attaches a blessing to the one who reaches the 1,335th day.
Daniel 12:13: But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
Tells Daniel he will rest and stand in his assigned place at the end of this period.
Yes. Daniel 12:11 gives 1,290 days after the abomination, and Daniel 12:12 speaks of the one who reaches the 1,335th day. The difference from the end of the Tribulation is 75 days, a period Les Feldick connects with the resurrection of the Old Testament saints.
Les explains that Daniel 12:13 means Daniel's soul rests with the Lord after death, and at the end of the 75-day period he will stand in his allotted place with the other Old Testament saints in the Kingdom.
Les describes the gleanings as the Old Testament saints and the tribulation saints who are raised after the firstfruits, the church, and the main harvest.
