[Chris Maddocks <waymark AT uku.co.uk>]

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
