Oh BTW, I also believe that 42 months in that verse describes the Great Tribulation. Which, IMHO, is preceded by a previous 42 months, which will see the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 preaching. I believe the Antchrist will kill them at the mid-point of Daniel’s 70th week.
It is then he is revealed for who he truly is (Satan embodied) and the False Prophet (also Satan-possed) implemnts the Mark of the Beast.
The Absomination that Causes Desolation having just happened. 3.5 days after being killed, the Two Witnesses come back to life, stand on their feet and then are Raptured into Heaven, in plain sight of the world (shocking - I’ll post the verse from Revelation 11).
The Two Witnesses taken into Heaven in plain view of the (remaining) world.
Revelation 11:7-12 King James Version (KJV)
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
