From the preceding discussion of the marriage to the gathering of the elect, all of them relate to the same glorious event. Consider when this was expected to come.
One vision has Christ’s new wife making herself ready for the marriage (Rev. 19:7). In another vision, John sees the prophets and saints rewarded “immediately after” the fall of the great city (Rev. 11:8,3, 18). Correlating this to Jesus’ prediction, we see beautiful harmony in these texts. He predicted that He would return to gather together the elect “immediately after the tribulation of those days” (Matthew 24:29-34). Daniel had prophesied about this period of 1260 days or 42 months (cf. Rev. 7:14; 11:2-3; 12:6; 13:5) in chapter twelve.
Daniel 7:9-14 begins with a description similar to the introduction of Revelation. His judgment coincides with “one like unto the Son of Man” coming on the clouds of heaven and receiving his dominion. Daniel’s prophecies regarding the time of the end and the abomination of desolation parallels Jesus’ prediction in Matthew 24. For Daniel, the prophecy was so far in the future that he was told to seal it up. For Jesus and His generation, however, he said it would happen in His generation (Matthew 24:34). The period of tribulation that consisted of 1290 days came after the end of the sacrifices and setting up of the abomination of desolation. Interestingly, John gives 1260 days, which is off Daniel’s prediction by thirty days. The Jewish Revolt began on the 8th of Shebat, A.D. 67, and ended on the 7th of Elul, A.D. 70. The difference of thirty days may be explained by the response time it takes the Roman Senate to receive confirmed reports from Judea and take action.
Furthermore, Daniel’s blessing of 12:12 came forty-five days after the fall of Jerusalem. All we are told is “How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1335 days” (1335-1290= 45).
