The 1260 days /different historocist perspectives

[Guest]

The strength of the historicist viewpoint is not only is it scriptural IMHO but also flexible in that it allows multiple possibilities including a milleneum or not.
If God gave us Rev to see further then 70AD what is possible? The historicist view allows that Rev could have been written before 70AD and that Jerusalem was destroyed in 3 1/2 years or 1,260 days around 70AD and that Nero was the first beast.
But it also allows for the possibility that the Papacy was the second beast and that it ruled the roost for 1,260 years. In 539AD the Papacy was effectively given control over Rome and Christianity by Justinian but 1,260 years later, Napolean after capturing the Pope the year before allowed him to die in prison effectively ending the bloody rule over Christianity by the Counterfeit Christ known as the RCC in the year 1799.
But there may be a third beast too.
In 688AD the muslims began construction on the Dome of the Rock which sits in the outer court of the Great Temple. 1,260 years later the jews regained governmental control of Israel in the year 1948.
But looking at this another way if we take the exact number of days for 42 months we come to 1,278 days or years.
Starting with 688AD and adding 1,278 years we would come to 1966 but if we take fractions which are 688.5 +1,278.34 we come to 1967 which is when Israel regained control over Jerusalem.
Are these dates coincidences, are they manipulated? It is what it is.
