Revelation 9:15
So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

or perhaps it has .....
Here “four angels” are described as being “loosed” to slay “the third part of men.” Protestant Historicists applied this to “the third part” of the Roman Empire, that is, to its eastern portion, centered in Constantinople. The period, “an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year,” they interpreted based on the day-for-a-year principle (see Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6). In doing the math, we discover that “a day” is 1 year, “a year” is 360 years (based on 360 days in a Jewish calendar year), “a month” is 30 years (based on 30 days in a Jewish month), and “an hour” is 15 days (1/24th of a 24-hour day, and 1/24th of 360 days).
360 years + 30 years + 1 year + 15 days =
391 years and 15 days.
Can we find a fulfillment for this period?
Yes, we can!
The previous “five months” (or 150-year period), predicted in the 5th trumpet (Revelation 9:10) began when Ottoman the Turk became the first “king” (see Revelation 9:11) over the disorganized Islamic countries, uniting them under one central government. That period extended from July 27, 1299, to July 27, 1449. During those 150 years, Turkish Islam sought to “slay” (or eliminate) the eastern sovereignty of a “third” of the Roman Empire, but was unable to do so. It could only “hurt” (Revelation 9:10). Four years later, on May 29, 1453, Constantinople fell to the Turks.
Prior to this, on the exact date noted – July 27, 1449 – the Greek Emperor, Constantine XIII, acknowledged that he no longer ruled by his own authority, but by consent of the Turks. In other words, his sovereignty was over. Now do the math. 391 years and 15 days starting from July 27, 1449 leads to August 11, 1840. Based on what happened July 27, 1449, historicist prophecy students in the 1830s publicly proclaimed
before the event occurred that on August 11, 1840, the independence of the Ottoman sultans ruling in Constantinople would cease.
Amazingly, that’s exactly what happened. On “Aug. 11, 1840, the very day to which the time marked in the prophecy continued … the authority of the Turkish Empire passed into the hands of the Powers of Europe [Britain, Russia, Austria, and Prussia]”
