It isn't all that tuff if you first understand Daniel's prophecy of 490 years for the nation of Israel. There are seven years of that prophecy left. It's called the time of Jacob's trouble or the tribulation the account of which is in Revelation. It's much more literal than you seem to think. It's the time during which the remnant of Israel will be saved. 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes.
OK now this “Daniel’s 490 years” is new to me.
I was raised traditional Lutheran (Missouri Synod) and then Presbyterian; they never mentioned this.
I only heard about it in Brethren run high school.
I still don’t understand it.
490 years from when?
