Especially when the bible verses they use to target some point in time in the future have already been fulfilled in the distant past... 
Do not be so ready-and-quick to say such things!
The real difference is that the devil is sitting on your shoulder whispering into your ear - enticing you to be filled with pride.
You will be apologizing to him later after you discover that he was right and you were wrong - only, after you humble yourself before God and apologize to Him for allowing yourself to build/mount up so much pride.
I personally believe you are in error about the 1290/1335 days. Those verses are not referring to a future (to us) event; rather, they are referring to the consecration of the temple after Antiochus Epiphanes desecrated it circa 167 B.C. - when the one-and-only true actual bona fide 'abomination that maketh desolate' occurred. (mentioned in Daniel 11 and 12)
1290 days = "wait time" between the desecration and the consecration
1335 days = the end of the consecration whereby the temple was put back in service where the Old Testament sacrificial system was/is concerned.
You and others who are so absolutely certain that these prophetic words are talking about the End Times Scenario time frame are so-incredibly-off on the wrong path due to a misunderstanding of scripture.
I think it is you who do not understand what scripture is actually saying with regard to these prophetic words.
By the way - it is not a parable.

whats your take on the 42months / 1260 days in Revelation 11,12,13? same time period? G.K Beale makes a convincing argument it could be the entire church age, symbolic of it. but why wouldnt st. john just use the phrase 'long time' instead of confusing us with precise times? do you have an answer as to how these things can be going on for seemingly 2000 years and still be 3,5 years? im talking about revelation 12 woman fleeing in the wilderness for 1260 days and as revelation 12 says this happens after Jesus' ascension. clearly the dragon is still chasing after the woman's other children, those who have the testimony of Jesus and keep God's commandments.
Thank you for the kind words.
I believe:
When the Bible uses the word 'days' in one of these prophetic time frames, it is talking about actual literal days - while the other phrases translate into years.
The 'forty and two months' in Revelation 11:2 is aligned with the same phrase in Revelation 13:5 - with an alternate second possibility of referring to the Islamic conquest from the building of the Dome of the Rock until 1948/1967 (or something along those lines). In either case, it is 1260 years.
The thousand two hundred and threescore days of Revelation 12:6 took place during the siege of Jerusalem circa 70 A.D.
Revelation 12:11 is referring to the persecution of the true Christians during the Dark Ages.
The phrase 'a time, and times, and half a time' in Revelation 12:14 is referring to the 1260 years from 538-1798 - when the RCC "ruled the world" for exactly 1260 years. The phrase 'forty and two months' in Revelation 13:5 is referring to this same 1260 years.

The First Beast (Revelation 13:1-6) is the HRE/RCC - which "had their way" with Christians (Revelation 13:7) for 'forty-two months' (1260 years, from 538 to 1798) - during the Dark Ages. This is past history. The next verse (Revelation 13:8) is referring to a time in our future.
'End Times' prophecy unfolds over ~2000 years - some past, some present, some future.
You have to look at it "on God's time scale"...

You'll have to interpret it according to prophetic time because 3½ years of
normal time comes out to +/- 1278 days instead of a nice even 1260.
FYI: A prophetic year consists of twelve equal months of 30 days each. It
comes out very early in the Bible in computations relative to Noah's flood.

IF the book of Daniel is correctly understood, it should be self-evident that Christ is already here, and has been since April 22, 1948. That's the date when the announcement first went out that the Jewish state would put forth "new shoots/leaves" in the land of Israel 22 days later, on May 14, 1948, in fulfillment of the "fig-tree" prophecy (Matt. 24:32-34 KJV).
It should also be crystal clear from Daniel 9 that the crucifixion happened on a WEDNESDAY, in the midst of the week (the 4th day of the 7 day week), and NOT on a Friday (the sixth day of the week), as Roman Catholicism and most protestant denominations wrongly teach.
Thursday of the week that Jesus was crucified was a HIGH SABBATH (John 19:31 KJV) that marked the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, as should be obvious from the fact that the "last supper" was the Passover. Thursday night + Friday night + Saturday night ARE three nights (the new day begins at sunset - Gen. 1:5 KJV), exactly as Jesus prophesied (Matt. 12:39-40 KJV). Saturday night + Sunday night are very obviously NOT 3 nights, and further proof of how spiritually blind the religious leaders are who promote such nonsense.

42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”

It was the Preparation Day and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies to remain on the cross on the Sabbath, especially since that Sabbath was an important day. So they asked Pilate to have the legs of those crucified broken and the bodies taken down.
It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

Christ prophesied the following about the time between the crucifixion and the resurrection:
Matthew 12:39-40
12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and unfaithfull generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be give to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:
12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days AND three nights in the heart of the earth.
So how can so many be duped into believing the LIE that Jesus only spent half as much time in the heart of the earth as He (THE Truth – John 14:6) said He would? A half-truth is still a lie, and that includes the half-truth that Christ’s Mission on Earth was only 3 ½ years.
Daniel 9:27 And he (Christ) shall confirm The Covenant (the New Covenant) with many for one week (7 days = 7 years in Bible prophecy code*): and in the midst of the week (WEDNESDAY) he shall cause the sacrifice (His Crucifixion) and the oblation (His Life which He willingly offered to show us The Way [John 14:6] and to redeem us from our PAST SINS [Rom. 3:25]) to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations (ALL of the churches, which teach the opposite of what Christ teaches) He shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation (the “Lake of Hell-Fire”), and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (those who refuse to listen to and obey God ONLY – Acts 5:29, Luke 19:27, Rev. 2:23).
*Numbers 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.

So, according to the EVIDENCE, at the end of His 7-year Mission, Jesus was crucified on a WEDNESDAY, NOT on a Friday. And if the body of Jesus was buried “in the heart of the Earth” for 3 days AND 3 nights, that means He rose on Saturday (the Sabbath Day, aka the Lord’s Day) NOT on a Sun-day. But is there any evidence of this in the Gospel accounts? The answer is yes, but it requires actually reading them and recognizing that there were TWO Sabbaths the week Jesus was crucified.
The Last Supper, that Jesus ate with His Disciples, was the Passover, which is the day of preparation for the High Sabbath that begins the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:5-7). The end of each day is at sunset, at which time the next day begins (Gen. 1:3-5). The High Sabbath that year was on a Thursday, which began at sunset on Wednesday, when Wednesday ended and Thursday began.
John 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.
The second Sabbath that week was the weekly Sabbath which, as always, took place on Saturday, the 7th day of the week. The account in Matthew, when properly translated from the original Greek tells us that it was after the Sabbaths (plural) that the two Marys came to see the sepulchre.
Matthew 28:1-6
28:1 After the (two) Sabbaths, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead [men].
28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Christ-Jesus was not there as it began to dawn on Sun-day (the first day of the week) because He had already risen (on Saturday, the Sabbath Day/The Lord’s Day).
Mark 16:1-8 (see also Luke 23:50-56, 24:1-8)
16:1 And when the (weekly) Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices*, that they might come and anoint him.
16:2 And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
16:3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
16:4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
16:5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus the Nazarite, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
*Buying and selling on the Sabbath is strictly forbidden under The Law (Exod. 20:8-11, Neh. 10:31, Neh. 13:15-21), so the ONLY time that the two Marys could have bought sweet spices would have been on Friday, between the two Sabbath days – the High Sabbath on Thursday and the weekly Sabbath on Saturday.
Remember, they had to hurry to take down the body of Jesus and bury it before the (High) Sabbath began (Mark 15:42-47), so there wasn’t anytime for them to buy spices after burying the body of Jesus. And it was very early on the first day of the week, immediately after the (weekly) Sabbath, when the two Marys came to the sepulchre with sweet spices they had bought and prepared on Friday, the day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. Further confirmation of this can be found in the Gospel of Luke.
It is also of interest that the Greek word “pascha” is found 29 times in the original text of the New Covenant/Testament where it is correctly translated as Passover 28 times. The lone exception is in Acts 12:4 where, in most Bible versions, it has been intentionally mistranslated as Easter
Matthew 12:39-40
12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and unfaithfull generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be give to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:
12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days AND three nights in the heart of the earth.

Further confirmation of this can be found in the Gospel of Luke.
It is also of interest that the Greek word “pascha” is found 29 times in the original text of the New Covenant/Testament where it is correctly translated as Passover 28 times. The lone exception is in Acts 12:4 where, in most Bible versions, it has been intentionally mistranslated as Easter
Matthew 12:39-40
12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and unfaithfull generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be give to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:
12:40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days AND three nights in the heart of the earth.
So how can so many be duped into believing the LIE that Jesus only spent half as much time in the heart of the earth as He (THE Truth – John 14:6) said He would? A half-truth is still a lie, and that includes the half-truth that Christ’s Mission on Earth was only 3 ½ years.
Daniel 9:27 And he (Christ) shall confirm The Covenant (the New Covenant) with many for one week (7 days = 7 years in Bible prophecy code*): and in the midst of the week (WEDNESDAY) he shall cause the sacrifice (His Crucifixion) and the oblation (His Life which He willingly offered to show us The Way [John 14:6] and to redeem us from our PAST SINS [Rom. 3:25]) to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations (ALL of the churches, which teach the opposite of what Christ teaches) He shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation (the “Lake of Hell-Fire”), and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (those who refuse to listen to and obey God ONLY – Acts 5:29, Luke 19:27, Rev. 2:23).
*Numbers 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.
Calendar from Daniel’s 70 Weeks Correctly Explained At Last
So, according to the EVIDENCE, at the end of His 7-year Mission, Jesus was crucified on a WEDNESDAY, NOT on a Friday. And if the body of Jesus was buried “in the heart of the Earth” for 3 days AND 3 nights, that means He rose on Saturday (the Sabbath Day, aka the Lord’s Day) NOT on a Sun-day. But is there any evidence of this in the Gospel accounts? The answer is yes, but it requires actually reading them and recognizing that there were TWO Sabbaths the week Jesus was crucified.
The Last Supper, that Jesus ate with His Disciples, was the Passover, which is the day of preparation for the High Sabbath that begins the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:5-7). The end of each day is at sunset, at which time the next day begins (Gen. 1:3-5). The High Sabbath that year was on a Thursday, which began at sunset on Wednesday, when Wednesday ended and Thursday began.
John 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.
The second Sabbath that week was the weekly Sabbath which, as always, took place on Saturday, the 7th day of the week. The account in Matthew, when properly translated from the original Greek tells us that it was after the Sabbaths (plural) that the two Marys came to see the sepulchre.
Matthew 28:1-6
28:1 After the (two) Sabbaths, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead [men].
28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Christ-Jesus was not there as it began to dawn on Sun-day (the first day of the week) because He had already risen (on Saturday, the Sabbath Day/The Lord’s Day).
Mark 16:1-8 (see also Luke 23:50-56, 24:1-8)
16:1 And when the (weekly) Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices*, that they might come and anoint him.
16:2 And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
16:3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
16:4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
16:5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus the Nazarite, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
*Buying and selling on the Sabbath is strictly forbidden under The Law (Exod. 20:8-11, Neh. 10:31, Neh. 13:15-21), so the ONLY time that the two Marys could have bought sweet spices would have been on Friday, between the two Sabbath days – the High Sabbath on Thursday and the weekly Sabbath on Saturday.
Remember, they had to hurry to take down the body of Jesus and bury it before the (High) Sabbath began (Mark 15:42-47), so there wasn’t anytime for them to buy spices after burying the body of Jesus. And it was very early on the first day of the week, immediately after the (weekly) Sabbath, when the two Marys came to the sepulchre with sweet spices they had bought and prepared on Friday, the day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. Further confirmation of this can be found in the Gospel of Luke.
It is also of interest that the Greek word “pascha” is found 29 times in the original text of the New Covenant/Testament where it is correctly translated as Passover 28 times. The lone exception is in Acts 12:4 where, in most Bible versions, it has been intentionally mistranslated as Easter
