Time Prophecies in Daniel 12

In recent years a number of Seventh-day Adventists have begun to apply the time prophecies in Daniel 12:5-13 to the future.1 Rejecting the traditional Adventist understanding, which places the 3 2 times, the 1290 and 1335 days as prophetic times in the past, they claim these time periods are to be understood as literal days still to come.
