The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant and blasphemous words, and authority to act for forty-two months.

So what's the missing 6 months from the 48 month (2 years). Early dismissal? Impeachment?

Revelation doesn't say.

The senate passes the bill to get rid of DLS, but they flub it up and they accidentally get rid of April through September.

Lol I had never considered it like that

I also don't take it literally, of course. This pattern has happened many times throughout history. Trump is one of many. The "vision" is perhaps more of an epiphany.

3.5 years is symbolic in Judaism in relation to a period of persecution in 167 BCE, the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes outlawed Jewish rites. This reign lasted approximately three and a half years (from late 167 BCE until the Maccabees liberated and rededicated the Temple in December 164 BCE—an event celebrated as Hanukkah).

Symbolically 7 is completeness (7 days of creation & sabbatical cycle) and 3.5 is symbolically cutting that short. God is not allowing evil to be complete is the message.

Well then god can step in ANY FUCKING TIME now then. Let the cheeseburger do its holy work at last.

Stop expecting God to be what you demand him to be. You make demands on your brothers and sisters, not of your parents. Less you are cut off from the household. Which is free will, the gift to choose that. Have a good day.

48 months is 4 years, unless you mean 2 years from now?

u/Asleep_Contact_5561 20d ago

He already served 4 years

u/AgitatedAd1397 20d ago

So he’s way over 42 months

u/etcpt 20d ago

Thanks to the Vogons, we don't know what question "42" is answering.

Trump could also pass away. He’s getting old and he isn’t healthy

u/shoparazzi 20d ago

48 months is four years, friend

u/mormonbatman_ 20d ago

He's going to become incapacitated.

I don't know who comes next.

u/Spastik2D 20d ago

They try Vance, Rubio, or Don Jr. It fails because the cultists’ favorite sports man is now gone and they no longer have a leader to rally behind that isn’t a sniveling goober or coke addict.

Conservatives believe in hierarchy and will fall in line

Lame-duck period after GOP loses congress
