The 70th Week of Daniel/2555 days
The 70th Week of Daniel is a seven year period which beings with the confirmation of a covenant and ends
with the advent of Christ and the start of the Millennial rule of Christ. This seven year period can further be divided into four smaller periods of time. These period are outlined by Christ in Matthew 24:
1. The Beginning of Birth Pains (The first 3 ½ years) Matt24:1-14
2. The Great Tribulation (The second 3½ years) Matt 24:15-28
3. The Wonders in the Heavens Matt 24:29
4. The Day of the Lord
2555 days
The Bible provides us with the durations of these four periods which total 2555 days exactly. Start by multiplying the seven years that make up the tribulation period by 365 days that make up a year (7 x 365= 2555 Days).
(Though the Jewish calendar was made of 360 days, ancient scholars were aware of 365 days years. To make their calendar work, they would add, every six years, an additional 30 day month.)
We begin with the two periods that is recognized by most.
In review:
1. The Beginning of Birth Pains 1290 days
2. The Great Tribulation 1260 days
3. The Wonders in the Heavens 3 ½ rounded up to 4 days
4. The Day of the Lord 1 day
Grand total of 2555 days or seven years to the day.

The Great Tribulation Period which has a duration of 1260 days. Rev12:6
The Day of the Lord is one day. 2 Peter 3:10c.
The duration of the Wonders in the Heavens can be found in the account of the two witnesses Revelation 11:3. It is the 3 ½ days that they lay dead on the streets of Jerusalem. Notice that they do their works for the 1260 days of the GT, lay dead in Jerusalem for 3 ½ days then are resurrected on The Day of the Lord.
The remaining 1290 days of The Beginning of Birth Pains can be found in Daniel 12:11.
