The 1290 & 1335 Days of Daniel 12

A) And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away,
and the abomination that maketh desolate set up,
there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Blessed is he that waiteth,
B) and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
But go thou thy way till the end be:
C) for thou shalt rest,
 D) and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
Daniel 12:11-13

MATHEMATICAL PRECISION OF PROPHECY
A) 1290 Days--This is considered to begin with the baptism of Clovis-the first establishment in the post-western Roman Empire of a Catholic nation when Clovis was baptized & accepted the breviary of Alaric (which allowed only one religion-Catholicism & went so far as to allow the church to have a say in punishment for violating its dogma & traditions).
Using a day for a year principle in prophecy---this would begin in 508 A.D. Add 1290 years and you come to 1798. (Hmmm...isn't that when the 1260 days/years ended with the beast receiving it's deadly wound? The temporary end of Papal power?--1798.)
     ---side note---notice it was France (Clovis of the Franks) who first set up the beast & it was France (via Napoleon's orders) that delivered its deadly wound.
SUMMARY: 1290 days/years 508 A.D.- 1798 A.D.

B) 1335 Days-- We are not given a specific starting point for this 1335 days/years. But if one uses common sense, it would be logical to use the same starting point already given for the 1290 days/years since they are lumped together. hence, 508 A.D. + 1335 years =1843 A.D.
It ends on the eve of 1844--when the 2300 days/years ends & judgment begins.
SUMMARY: 1335 days/years 508 A.D. - 1843 A.D.

C) What is death referred to in Scripture? As sleep, or in other words, rest. Daniel will die (be asleep, resting) in his grave.

D) Standing in his lot, I believe, means his judgment. And what comes after the 1335 days/years ending in 1843? The year 1844 & the beginning of the Judgment....right on time, the end of the days (the 1335 years).

The 4 key prophecies of "days"/years
2300 days/years 457 B.C. - 1844 A.D.
1290 days/years 508 A.D. - 1798 A.D.
1260 days/years 538 A.D. - 1798 A.D.
1335 days/years 508 A.D. - 1843 A.D.

BTW- the 70 weeks (490 days/years) of the 2300 days/years were determined for the Jews Daniel was told. In the midst of the 70th week the Messiah was to be cut off. That 70th week included a 3 & a half year ministry following His baptism. he was baptized at age 30, the same age one had to be to become a priest. (He is our high Priest in Heaven). For another 3 & a half years after His crucifixion the Jews still had time. But upon final rejection the call of Paul sent the Gospel to the gentiles--ending the 70 weeks portion of the 2300 days/years.
But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman,... Galatians 4:4
