12:11-12 Commentators who relate the book of Daniel to the events of the persecution under Antiochus IV Epiphanes theorize that the 1,290 and 1,335 days were adjustments to the author’s previous failed predicted time until the end of 1,260 days (see v. 7 with Rv 12:6,14). Perhaps the extra days signify the time in which the Lord will judge the nations and officially inaugurate his kingdom. Those who reach the 1,335 days are “happy” because they will enter the greatest period in human history—the Messianic Age.
