"Now this expression that the four angels 'were prepared for an hour and a day and a month and a year, to slay the third part of men' -- amounts to a shade more than 391 'prophetic days' (= 1 + 30 + 360). For there, anciently a month consisted of 30 and a year of 360 days. This apparently refers, in accordance with the 'year-day' principle of prophetic interpretation -- to the length of prophetic time required for the completion of this entire enterprise.It thus amounts to just over 391 natural years. Cf. Genesis 1:14 & 5:23 & 29:18-30; Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:5-8; Daniel 7:25 & 9:2-24f & 12:7-11; and Revelation 11:2-11 & 12:6-14 & 13:5.
"As George Stanley Faber pointed out (in 1806) regarding Revelation 9:13-15f: 'The accurate accomplishment of this numerical prophecy, is singularly remarkable. The Turks, under Ortogrul, gained their first victory over the Greek Empire in the year 1281 -- by the conquest of Cutahi. In the year 1357, they crossed over into Europe.
"'In the year 1453, they took Constantinople. And the remaining Provinces of the [Eastern Roman] Empire soon followed the fate of the capital. In the year 1669, they made themselves masters of Crete. And in the year 1672, they wrested Camenice, their last conquest, from the Poles. If now we compute 391 years from the year 1281 -- they will exactly bring us down to the year 1672.'
"The above view was widespread, both before and after Faber. Generally, it is that also of: Downham, Brightman, Mede, Parker, Durham, Goodwin, Increase Mather, Sherwin, Jurieu, Fleming, Cotton Mather, Daubuz, Sir Isaac Newton, Jonathan Edwards, Bishop Thomas Newton, John Gill, John Brown of Haddington, Winthrop, Thomas Scott, Fuller, James Angell Brown, Alexander Keith, Bickersteth, Louis Gaussen, Bishop Elliott, Albert Barnes, and J.P. Lange."
