"God, who lives forever"

# it would be for a time, times, and half a time

It is best to leave it ambiguous as to when this begins. If you must choose a starting point, the three and a half years probably start with the events of [Daniel 12:1-4](./01.md).

|
# a time, times, and half a time
|
|
|
|
"three and a half years." These "times" are generally understood to refer to years. One and two and a half equal three and a half.

|
# all these things will be completed
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "all these things will have happened" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# all these things
|
|
|
|
At the time when the man clothed in linen spoke to Daniel, none of the events in this vision had happened. This refers to the events in [Daniel 12:1-4](./01.md), and may include the events in the vision from chapter 11.
