'Time, and times, and half a time,' as in Revelation 12:14, signifies to the end and a new beginning, thus until it grows from a few people to many more, till it reaches its appointed state. 'A time, and times, and half a time,' has the same meaning as 'a thousand two hundred and sixty days' in Revelation 12:6, as 'three days and a half' in Revelation 11:9-10, 'the three years and six months of famine' in Luke 4:25, and 'a stated time' or 'stated times and a half, when they will make a consummation of dispersing the hands of the people of holiness,' in Daniel 12:7.
