You missed the verse before the abomination of desolation.
Here is what Jesus said in the Olivet discourse...
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand : )
The two witnesses will be preaching the gospel for their 1260 days.
At the end of their preaching, the abomination of desolation will be setup on day 1185, 1335 days before Jesus returns.
And for the same said time....
Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Which after the two witnesses's time of preaching the gospel and prophesying, then being killed, coming back to life, ascending to heaven - the 7th trumpet sounds.
And the war in the second heaven takes place, Satan and his angels cast down to earth - as God starts dismantling his kingdom of Babylon the great.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Which take place in the second half of the seven years.
So there are also the three angels in Revelation 14 that signify the 7 years.
verse 6-7 first angel - the gospel preached to the world (first half)
verse 8 second angel - Satan's kingdom falls from the second heaven
verse 9 third angel - worship of the beast, his image, taking his mark (second half)
What is Jesus timing before verse 14? Does He tell us? Yes.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but
the end is not yet.
Here Jesus is in the church age. He is not talking about end times. This timing follows through to verse 14 where jesus mentions "the end." Of course, the end of the Jewish age, not the end of the church age. From church age, and talking about "the end" Jesus jumps to the midpoint of the future 70th week! He jumped over any confirming of the covenant, or anything else before the midpoint.
Why would Jesus do this? We can only guess. My guess is, the confirming of the covenant is going to be done in secret.
Now, WHO is going to preach the gospel to all nations? We find that in Rev. 14: ANGELS will take the "everlasting gospel" to all nations and peoples. That is going to be shortly after the midpoint of the week.
The two witnesses will be preaching the gospel for their 1260 days. And WHERE does John show us they begin? Is it in chapter 6? No. Is it in chapter 8 where the 70th week begins? No. It is in chapter 9 deep into the first half of the week? No. No mention of the two witnesses here, because it is not their time. No, not even in chapter 10 that speaks of the 7th trumpet that marks the midpoint.
God introduces John to the two witnesses in exactly the place in John's narrative where they suddenly appear: right after the man of sin moves to Jerusalem. They are to be witnesses during HIS time as the Beast.
We can tell from what John tells us that they show up just before the midpoint. Can we tell how much before? Yes. They show up exactly 3 1/2 days before the man of sin will enter the Jewish temple and do his abomination.
|.........................................................Midpoint..............................................|
|.............................................................|.....................................................|
|.................................................|3.5days|.....................................................|
|.................................................|<-------1260 days of testifying------>|3.5Days|
This is what John shows us by when and where in his narrative they suddenly appear, the time they lay dead, and how long they testify. Or would you say they show up .5 days before the midpoint but don't start testifying until the midpoint? Highly unlikely!
At the end of their preaching, the abomination of desolation will be setup on day 1185, 1335 days before Jesus returns.
This is myth. There is no 1185 in relation to the end times. 5 times John gives us countdowns to the end. Two times Daniel gave us countdowns to the end. Daniel asks, HOW LONG to the end of these wonders? And is told, time, times and half of time. That time must have a beginning and the beginning is verse 1 of chapter 12: when the days of great trouble begin: which is when Satan possesses the man of sin and He turns to the Beast of chapter 13.
The time, times and half of time then go from the midpoint to the end. But Daniel still does not get it and asks again. This time he is given a different answer: 1290 days. To stay in context then, this 1290 days would START at the same starting point: the midpoint of the week - and go PAST the 1260 days that ends the week to 30 days later. Daniel is telling us that SOME EVENT will take place 30 days after the week ends. Then yet another time is given. to stay in context, that time too will start at the midpoint and go 1335 days or another 45 days past the 1290 date.
So Daniel gives us the midpoint of the week, the end of the week at exactly 3 1/2 years, then some event 30 days after the week ends, and yet another event 45 days after that. In other words, to reverse what is given and work backwards is not in any way the intent here. That is why your numbers are myth.
Which after the two witnesses's time of preaching the gospel and prophesying, then being killed, coming back to life, ascending to heaven - the 7th trumpet sounds. Granted, many people imagine they are killed before the 7th trumpet, but it is only human reasoning gone amiss. One could only come to this conclusion by IGNORING John's chronology. The truth is, the verses about their death is a parenthesis outside of John's chronology. This is easily seen by when they suddenly appear: just 3 1/2 days before the midpoint.
Of course, if someone doesn't know where the midpoint is, or ignores all the hints that the midpoint is somewhere in chapters 11, 12, or 13: they will miss John's chronology. Then there are others that seem to ignore any kind of timing and order when they study Revelation. However, if we are to teach truth, we must pay close attention to timing in every chapter. The week begins with the first trumpet judgment. By the time the 6th trumpet has sounded, John is very close to the midpoint of the week - as proven by his 5 different mentions of the last 3 1/2 year period of time.
Then again, if someone INSISTS that God has to show the entire 70th week in days or in months, they will try and force what God has put in the last half of the week into the first half to "prove" there is 7 years.
The truth is, God MARKED the entire 70th week for our benefit: the 7th seal starts the week, the 7th trumpet marks the midpoint and the 7th vial ends it. It is easy then to see that 11:1 is just days before the midpoint.
So there are also the three angels in Revelation 14 that signify the 7 years.
verse 6-7 first angel - the gospel preached to the world (first half)
verse 8 second angel - Satan's kingdom falls from the second heaven
verse 9 third angel - worship of the beast, his image, taking his mark (second half)
This is just more myth, arrive at by totally IGNORING John's chronology. The truth is, EVERYTHING in chapter 14 will happen AFTER THE MIDPOINT. You are rearranging again. Did you forget about the 144,000? They are in the first half of the week.
Let me give you a hint: if something is written BEFORE chapter 11? It is in the first half of the week. If something is written AFTER chapter 11, those events will be AFTER the midpoint and in the second half of the week.
Truth: all three of these angels will fly and preach in the second half of the week, JUST before the Beast and False Prophet get their "mark" ready.
