Three days and an half (Revelation 11:9-11)

And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10 [...] 11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. Apocalypse 11:9-11 - Louis Segond

 

 

⚪ Three years and one half

Rev. 11:9 [...] Three days and an half. — See Rev. 11:11. And [shall not] suffer NOT their dead bodies to be put In [graves] A GRAVE.— On the contrary, this very attempt "served to arouse Christians everywhere to put forth new exertions in behalf of the Bible." — Smith. [...] 11:11. And after three days and an half. — Three years and one half. Source : 🇺🇸 1917 - Studies in the Scriptures, Vol 7, The finished mystery, page 176 + Cover

 

⚫ Does not seem to be either literal or symbolic time

Rev. 11 [...] The "three days and an half" that their dead bodies lay in the streets does not seem to be either literal or symbolic time, but merely a time sufficient to cause a dead body to putrefy. [...] Therefore it is written: "And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet." (Vs, 11) Manifestly this refers to another short period of time sufficient to let the clergy and their allies put the Bible Students out of their minds.
