The fact that Hippolytus saw the “one week might be shown to be divided into two” (or two periods of 3.5 years each) is confirmed by his statement that “The two witnesses, then, shall preach three years and a half.”  Hence, if the Seventieth Week of Daniel is equal to seven years, then the seven days of the 70th Week of Daniel would constitute a seven-year time frame, ipso facto, seven days is equal to seven years, adding legitimacy that the “Day-year principle” was upheld by Hippolytus as well—although he did not specifically state that the 3.5 days of Revelation 11:9, 11 constitute 3.5 years.

As prolific as some of the Early Church Fathers were in their eschatological writings (e.g., [[Irenaeus]], [[Tertullian]], Lactantius<ref>{{cite web| title=Lucius Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius |url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08736a.htm | publisher=New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia}}</ref> Cyprian,<ref>{{cite web| title=St. Cyprian of Carthage |url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04583b.htm |publisher=New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia}}</ref> [[Jerome]], or [[Augustine of Hippo|Augustine]]) they did not reflect upon interpreting Revelation 11:9, 11; however, it appears that Victorinus<ref>{{cite web| title=St. Victorinus |url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15414a.htm |publisher=New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia}}</ref> may have done so.  Therefore, of the three who did expound upon Revelation 11:9, 11, it appears that all of them understood the “three-and-a-half days” of Revelation 11:9, 11, to mean “years.”  Likewise, to assume that they saw, as Hippolytus, that these 3.5 days were part of the final Seventieth Week (in its entirety) to be yet future, is not a stretch of historical revisionism, nor, for that matter, that Hippolytus would not concur with the “three’s” interpretations.
