through the prophet Ezekiel. Forty years of

punishment for iniquities awaited the

kingdom of Judah. The Lord said through the

prophet: “Lie again on thy right side, and

thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of

Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each

day for a year.” Ezekiel 4:6. This year-day

principle has an important application in

interpreting the time of the prophecy of the

“two thousand and three hundred evenings

and mornings” (Daniel 8:14, R.V.) and the

1260-day period, variously indicated as “a

time and times and the dividing of time”

(Daniel 7:25), the “forty and two months”

(Revelation 11:2; 13:5), and the “thousand

two hundred and threescore days”

(Revelation 11:3; 12:6).
