In Revelation, the symbolism of times does not lie in the unit of measurement (days, weeks, years) but in the numerical value attached to the measurement.<ref>Edmondo F. Lupieri, ''A Commentary on the Apocalypse of John'' (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 2006), 154.</ref> It is a symbolic illustration of the apparent victory of hostile forces over God’s people in the in-between age.<ref>Koester¸ ''Revelation'', 502.</ref>
