Daniel 7:25

He will speak against the Most High. [Rev 13:5–6]
He will harass (wear down, tire out, torment) the saints of the Most High (Eljonin).
He will try (his intention is) to change times (holidays and holy days) and the law,
and they [the saints of the Most High] will be under his hand (rule),
for a time, times, and half a time [probably corresponding to 3.5 years].
[The Aramaic word for times is zeman, and describes a specific point in time. Times and the law probably refer to the Lord's (Yahweh's) feasts, see Ex. 23:14–17. It can also be interpreted as meaning that feasts will be changed by new laws. Other suggestions are that it refers to changes in how days and weeks are counted. After the French Revolution, a ten-day week system was used for a few years.
The last expression, "a time, times, and half a time," uses another Aramaic word for time (Aramaic aidan). This has to do with chronological time and probably corresponds to one year, and is most naturally interpreted in the expression in Dan. 4:13 where Nebuchadnezzar is mad for seven times. In that case, the first expression "a time" corresponds to one year. The second, "times," is plural and is often interpreted as two years. The last, "half a time," corresponds to half a year. The sum of 1 + 2 + 0.5 is 3.5 years. This also corresponds to the number of days in Dan. 12:7, 11, 12. The expression is also found centrally in a chiasm in the Book of Revelation together with the same time period, also specified as 1,260 days and 42 months, see Rev 12:14; 11:3; 12:6; 11:2; 13:5.]
