Hello All,

I am trying to understand the time period expressed in Daniel 7:12, "as concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged *for a season and a time*. My question is this: What is a "season" and what is a "time". Do the original words specify a set period, or do they simply convey the general and unspecified sense of "a period of time" (as suggested by the NIV)..

I should be grateful for your observations,

Christopher Maddocks
