EXEGESIS VERSES 1 – 2:

Chapter 11 now advances that chronological notation providing an equal division of time (42 months [3 ½ yrs.] vss.1-2 and 1260 days [3 ½ yrs.] vs.3) marking the midpoint of the tribulation/DOL as its dividing point. Interpreters recognize that the 42 months looks to the latter half and the 1260 days to the first half. ................
