Scripture focus
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be finished.
Daniel 12:7 — KJV
His right hand. See Deuteronomy 32:40. Lifting both hands would indicate that the greatest solemnity and assurance were attached to the declaration.
Him that liveth. No greater oath could be sworn (see Hebrews 6:13; cf. Revelation 10:5, 6).
A time, times, and an half. That is, the 1260-year period, A.D. 538-1798, which is first introduced in Daniel 7:25 (see comments there). There the Aramaic ‘iddan, “a specified time,” or “a definite time,” is used; here its Hebrew counterpart, mo‘ed, appears, a word that emphasizes the fact that the heavenly Being speaks of an “appointed time” (see on Daniel 11:35). God has sworn to meet His appointment.
