"Yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time."
This is a night vision meaning the divine Will concerning nations re set in terms of the acceptable year of the Lord. The four nations are set aside for a season and time. In the parlance of the Spirit season refers the kingdom of light. v.22 is his commentary on the vision of the fiery throne,"Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom." It is an everlasting dominion given to the Son of man. So judgment of the seven beasts is referred in v.10 by the phrase"the judgment was set, and the books were opened."
The Acceptable year of the Lord ends with the day of Regeneration and in Mt.19.28 twelve thrones are set for the 12 apostles of the Lamb so one can be sure Judas is not included. It is not historically settled but by the Lamb. He is the Word which was with God and not the word become flesh. The king of glory is Jesus Christ who settles the issue. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."(Matt.25.40)
Coming back to the key verse, the season and a time supplies us two entities; one refers to the saints of the most high and in the new heaven and in the new earth they descend with the Lamb to the mid-air where the tabernacle of God is set.(Rev.21.1-3) Second entity is time. This refers to the time of the gentiles in which the heathen are those destined for the outer darkness. "But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."(Rev.11.2) The temple of God is in midair and the court and it is which the beast enters (Rev.13.1-5) In the vision of Ezekiel the line of flax, 'and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long' refers to the beast 6-6-6 The months 7x6 refers to the beast.
