The 30 minutes is thirty minutes.Probably more likely to be 30 min but there is another hour in Revelation, the hour the ten horns reign with the beast. That hour is 42 months so perhaps the half an hour means 21 months? Probably not but worth mentioning.
The 60 minutes is the Battle of Armageddon. Armageddon is not a 42 month long event.
It is from 5pm to 6pm on the final Sunday of the sounding of the 7th Trumpet. Daniel 9:7 is a week of days, Sunday to Sunday. That week is split in half for 42 months. The battle of Armageddon is the last hour of the last day.
In biblical terms the last hour is 5pm to 6pm on Sunday. Monday starts at 6pm for the 1,000 year reign. Those last 3.5 days are the days the 2 witnesses lay dead in Jerusalem. They are resurrected early Sunday morning. But all of Saturday evening, and all night, and most of the day Sunday, the 10 kingdoms are coming together to rule as one force in opposition to Christ as Prince at Armageddon. The vials were being poured out during those 3.5 days, preparing for that last Sunday. That final hour is the battle itself, and then all of Adam's remaining flesh and blood are destroyed. Sunrise on Monday starts a new day with the resurrection of Revelation 20:4. A new creation per Isaiah 65.
To put the 2 witnesses and the 7 vials in perspective. Revelation 11:13
"And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven."
Revelation 16:17-19
"And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath."
Then the kings of the earth in chapters 17 and 18 all come together for 1 hour. The same hour as the end of the Babylon system of government. The battle of Armageddon.
This all takes place on Sunday from 6pm (Saturday), and is finalized by 6pm Sunday. Monday starts the Millennium, being 6pm (Sunday).
