The number 1260 (years) appears many times in both the Bible (Revelations) and Islamic scriptures. Some examples include in Revelations (chapter 11) it says "And the Holy City (Jerusalem) shall they tread under foot for forty and two months." This is significant for two reasons: (1) 42 Months, each with 30 days equals 1260 days (prophetic 'days' are widely considered years by Bible scholars). (2) Christ gave the end of the time of the Gentiles (the occupation of Jerusalem by non-jews) as one of the three conditions that must be met when the end of the world (old world) comes and the Kingdom of God is established on earth (new world). The year 1260 (Islamic calendar) coincides with the year 1844 AD. Also, the other two conditions given by Christ as to when the end of the world would come were fulfilled in 1844. There are plenty of other prophesies in the Bible that lead to the year 1844 as well. In one of the Book of Daniel's most famous prophesies, Daniel predicts that the Messiah will but 'cut off' (Jesus' crucifiction) in 490 years from the decree of Artaxerxes in 457 BC, which points to the year 33 AD for Christ's crucifiction (widely accepted). In the same prophecy he adds that the Messiah would return 2300 years after the decree of Artaxerxes, or 1844. He was accurate about Christ so it follows that he was accurate about the year of the Messiah's return.
