1,260 days
The famous three-and-a-half-year tribulation is based off the 360-day calendar. Based on a 360-day calendar, three and a half years is 1,260 days which is 42 months. Three and a half years is a seven-year period cut in half. A time (1 year) and times (+ 2 years) and half a time (+1/2 year) = 3 ½ years.
