Smyrna 10 days is 10 years in Rev 2

Hi John and Doves,

Having read the webpage from my other post about the theory of day for a year, and the 1260 /1267/1335 possibly
being years.
And so 688 add 1260 to 1948
and 688 add 1267(42 months of days) comes to 1967
and 688 add 1335 comes to 2023

I went back to the start of revelation and came across a "day for a year" prophecy in Revelation 2.
As per below.
Pretty amazing and sobering how it seems that God allowed Smyrna to suffer for exactly 10 years, partly
so that we could see the day for a year prophecy and have a date stamp for the Smyrna church.

Reve 2: 8; 10

8
"To the angel of the church in Smyrna
write: These are the words of him who is
the First and the Last, who died and
came to life again.

you will suffer persecution for ten days.

Of all the periods of persecution, the worst of all took place over a period of ten years under Emperor Diocletian. This lasted from 303 A.D. to 313 A.D. until Constantine took the Imperial throne.

The church that suffered the greatest persecution is also the church that was the purest.

Final, “Great Persecution”
In 303, however, came 10 years of persecution, the “Great Persecution” as it became known. How and why, after 43 years of peace, did this happen?

The die was now cast. On February 23, 303, the Feast of Terminalia, repression would start.

Churches were destroyed, Christian services banned, and the Scriptures seized and burned. Christians in high places lost civil rights, and “those in households” (perhaps meaning, “private citizens”) were deprived of their liberty

A second edict imposed an obligation on all clergy to sacrifice, but the prisons became too full, and in the autumn of 303

In 304, with Diocletian ill in Rome, Galerius seized his chance and imposed a universal obligation to sacrifice on pain of death. Up to then only the clergy had been involved directly; now the pressure was on every Christian. The number of martyrs increased, as did the defiance of the Christians. One inscription from a North African church lists 34 men and women who “suffered under the laws of the divine emperors Diocletian and Maximian.” In Phrygia a whole community was wiped out, and Egypt saw eight years of ruthless repression, which among the Coptic Christians earned the reign of Diocletian the title “The era of the martyrs. ”
