Now let's look at one of these months problems assigned to us in prophecy: Revelation 11:2: But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months. The city of Jerusalem was trodden under the foot of or controlled by Gentiles, until the Israelis took back the holy city in 1967 (as date pinned earlier in one of Daniel's "times" problems), bringing an end to "the shattering of the power of the holy people".  As symbolically marked by the Dome of the Rock, it was specifically under Muslim Gentile control, from the year 688 to 1967 (though the Muslims conquered Jerusalem in 639 AD).   If we take 42 months, and multiply by 30.44 days in a month, we get 1278.5 days (as years). When we then Subtract 1278.5 from 1967 what year do we arrive at?
