There may well be a 7 year time of trouble but what you are doing is making these verses fit your interpretation.
When did the sacrifices cease? When did the offering of lambs become obsolete?
At the cross. They were made desolate by the real deal. Jesus is the sacrifice we need to look to. The cerimonial offerings all pointed to Jesus.
Dan 9: 27
Right in the middle of the 70th week Jesus died and brought all of the sacrifices to an end.
The 3 and a half years and 42 months, and times time and dividing of time are the same time period in prophecy.
That time has come and gone.....
Eze 4:6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
Num 14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land,
even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities,
even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
It is a known truth that a day = a year in bible prophecy. It is applied to the 70 week prophecy, and when you apply it to the 3and a half year prophecy it = 1260 years.
Be consistent. Half a week = 3.5 years
Some 3.5 years = 1260 years
A day for a year.
Dan 7:25And he shall speak
great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred
and threescore days.
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty
and two months.
It is easy to find a time in history when the church of God, was persecuted and went to the mountains to hide for 1260 years. It's called the dark ages. Millions of believers were killed because they didn't follow the blasphemies of catholicism.
538-1798.....1260 years.
Pope Vigilius is the first pope with unquestioned loyalty to Justinian and his new code, which in 538 becomes meaningfully effective for the first time. Church controlled the state.
There is a clear and parallel symmetry in the 1,260-year period
starting with a pope being exiled and replaced with one hand-picked by the emperor under the auspices of a new legal code (the Justinian Code—one that elevates the Roman church to official, legal priority), and
ending with a pope being exiled by an emperor and a religious code replaced by a secular rule (the Napoleonic Code, a secular system that rejects the idea of a special place for the church).
Napoleon took the pope captive in 1798. And the church lost its authoritative power over most people.
3.5 years have been prophesied and have happened.
