Beginning of time, times, and half a time:
Daniel 11
1Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede (539 BC-486BC), even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. 2And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
End of the time, times, and half a time:
Daniel 12:2And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

6And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? 7And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half;
From 486BC to the end of the millenium when there is a resurrection of the just/unjust is 3500 years.
This means we are are currently in year 2497...as long as record keeping is accurate - with a millenial reign of Christ + 3 years to go until the resurrection of the just/unjust at GWT judgment.
Interesting how it's divided, isn't it...
Time = millenial reign - 1000 years
Times = times of the gentiles/Christian age - 2000 years
Half a time = From end of Darius' reign until, presumably Christ.
