    "Time, Times and Half" (1 of 2)

    "And sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished." (Dan.12:7)

    The number 42 is familiar to most. "But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months./And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth."(Re.11:2-3)

    Here we have days and months, which must be considered as having frame of reference to the Son. In the vision of the Woman clothed with the Sun (Re.12:6) we find the same number of days ie., 1260. The woman was called but only the man-child shall be caught up to the throne. The days fall short of 42 months the base line set by the Spirit.

    In terms of the temple building the Spirit tells us of the court which is given to the Gentiles. Keeping the promise of God to Abraham, there shall be no difference between the Jews and the Gentiles. Ministry of reconciliation of the Son would see to it. We have however an order first Israel was called but their falling off let the Gentiles come into the fold and "until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in"(Ro.11:25) informs us that the work is going on even now. "The half' is not yet fulfilled.

    Thus we have three-fold division Time Times and a half. Time refers to Israel, Times where Israel and the Gentiles are as one.

    "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."(John10:16).

    So the silence in heaven for 'the space half an hour' (Re.8:1) is where we need look into. A remnant of Israel shall be allowed to be part of the building work. (Is.28:16).
