“Then he adds, ‘happy is he who shall have waited and endured until the 1335 days…. Some think the days should be understood as years…. The faithful ought constantly to persist in the hope of deliverance…after God has sufficiently proved the patience of His people and by long and numerous…contests has humbled His Church and purged it — until the end shall arrive!”
13 Comm. on Dan. 12:1-13.
Calvin on the historicistic predictions in Christ’s Olivet Discourse
In his comments on Christ’s Olivet Discourse, Calvin further discusses inter alia the fulfilment — during the course of church history — of the 1335 day-years in Daniel 12:12. In Matthew 23:38 to 24:34, Christ predicted the de-struction of the obs-olescent Jewish temple in A.D. 70 — and, more importantly, the con-struction of the ad-olescent Christian Church!
