"A time" is 360 years. The seven times punishment from Leviticus 26:28-46 is 2,520 years.
The people at Mt. Sinai entered into a solemn covenant with their God and King, for they said, "All that the Lord hath spoken we will do" (Exodus 24:7-8). That is what is known as the first or National Covenant and must not be confused with the Abrahamic Covenant which was made some four hundred years previously and which was unconditional. The Covenant made at Mt. Sinai was made conditional upon the keeping of the Laws, Statutes, Judgments and Commandments of God.
So we find God laying before His people the conditions of this National Covenant. IF they kept His laws, blessed would they be in all their undertakings; blessed in the city and in the field, in the fruit of the ground, their cattle and flocks, assured of certain victory over their enemies, and there would be no sickness or poverty among the people. BUT, if they did not keep those laws, then the opposite would be the result. All their undertakings would be cursed; there would be crop failures, disease in cattle and in their own bodies, poverty and sickness would overtake them, their enemies would gain the victory over them in battle. All this may be read in the 28th chapter of Deuteronomy, and in the 26th chapter of Leviticus.
Here, God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them, He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them among the heathens (like lost sheep) (Lev. 26:28-46). ~E. Raymond Capt, Abrahamic Covenant
By Anno Dei Reckoning, if we take the fall of Jerusalem in 477 BC and utilize the seven times punishment stated in Leviticus 26, then we get the end of such punishment in AD 2043. Just food for thought, if we correlate that date with a 120 year generation from the planting of the fig tree when Israel became a nation again in 1948, then you arrive at AD 2068 (70 year generation would be AD 2018). God's Word has told us all things, and while we do not know exact times for any prophecy, we do have the signs, seasons, and events for which to look and be aware!
