a Time = 1 year, Times = two years, half a time = six months or half a year (3 1/2 years)
You might want to rethink that chief. The
thousand year reign is shown as
a time + a season in Daniel---->>>
Daniel 7:9-14
[SUP]9 [/SUP]I beheld till the
thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him:
the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld
even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their
dominion taken away: yet their lives were
prolonged for a season and time.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
Compare to Revelation 19-20.....
[SUP]20 [/SUP]And
the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."
Revelation 20
20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and
bound him a thousand years,
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should
deceive the nations no more,
till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]And
I saw thrones, and they sat upon them,
and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ
a thousand years.
After the season and
time= or after a thousand years, the other nations that had their lives prolonged are once again deceived after this
season and time is fulfilled, shown here...
[SUP]7 [/SUP]And when
the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
[SUP]8 [/SUP]And shall go out to
deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."
