1335 (Part Two)
'Prophecy Watch' by Charles WhitakerIn Revelation 11, the mention of 1,260 days marks a significant period, and assuming the counts of 1,260, 1,290, and 1,335 days begin on the same day, a notable event occurs 30 days after the 1,260 days, on day 1,290. Then, God declares a blessing for those who wait an additional 45 days, reaching day 1,335. Between day 1,260 and day 1,335, there are 75 days during which God will fulfill prophecy almost daily, working a work that would be hard to believe even if told. Some alive today may live through these days, witnessing a rapid succession of events, just as the disciples of old anticipated. The vital point remains that day 1,335 will be a day of great blessing, when Christ the King and Judge will award the crown of righteousness to those who have loved His appearing over the years of their conversion.
