"And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men."

Here we have four periods of time in which the day and the year refers to the Father relationship. Months and hour relate to Jesus in his relationship to the nation of Jews and the Gentiles.

This is your hour as in this verse,"When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness."(Lk.22.53)

We have an instance of the months with regards to 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) We are shown the beast in Rev.13.1 and in v.7 "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."(v.5) Notice this beast is given power from the devil to continue meaning that it the eight beast, an unclean spirit, "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition."(Rev.17.11) Perdition is narrated in the ch.19.20: "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."

His arrival onto the world stage, yet to manifest itself continues from the little horn mentioned in the fourth beast in the night vision of Daniel Ch.7

Year and day is set lockstep with Father Son relationship. Jesus is word become flesh. What of Ezekiel whom God calls 'Son of man'? "and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year."(Ezek.4.6) Ezekiel serves as the double for Jesus.(Ezek.3.1-4)
