Answer

In our text above, we find 3 more charateristics shared by both the Beast in Revelation and the Little Horn of Daniel. 1: The Little Horn speaks great words against God, the Beast speaks blasphemy agaist God. 2: The Little Horn wears out the saints, the Beast persecuted God's saints. 3: The Little Horn ruled for a time, times, and the dividing of time, and the Beast ruled for 42 months. We learned that 42 months in prophecy equals 1260 years. A time, times, and half a time in prophecy is also equal to 1260 years. The Bible makes this clear in Revelation 12, as SEEN IN THE TEXTS BELOW:

Bible

Revelation 12:6

"The woman fled into the wilderness where she has a place prepared of God that they should feed her there 1260 days."

Revelation 12:14

"The woman was given two wings…that she might fly into the wilderness…where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time."

Prophetic meaning of the word "Time"

A time equals a year. A times equals 2 years. The dividing of time equals half a year. (See Daniel 4:16, 23, 32; 7:25; Daniel 11:13 margin) The 7 “times” turned out to be 7 “years". Therefore, a time, times and half a time equals 3 and a half years or 1260 days which is the same as 42 biblical months. (the Bible reckons 360 days per year or 30 days per month)
