Prophetic months and years are sort of like baker's dozens and troy ounces. Though
a baker's dozen isn't a dozen of twelve, and though a troy ounce is heavier than a
standard ounce; baker's dozens and troy ounces are both true values in their own
way.
The same goes for mean solar time vs. sidereal time, and/or geographic north vs.
magnetic north. As long as Bible readers are aware of the existence of such a thing
as prophetic time, they won't be tripped up when they run across it in prophecy; for
example:
● Rev 13:5c . . and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Be advised those are not calendar months, rather, they're prophetic months of 30
days apiece which add up to a 360-day year instead of the usual +/- 365 days. So
then; forty and two months of prophetic time totals exactly 1,260 days.
For another example:
"And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God,
that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." (Rev
12:6)
"And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into
the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and
half a time, from the face of the serpent." (Rev 12:14)
Those two passages tell of a 3½ year period of exactly 1,260 days. Well, 3½
common years add up to +/- 1,278 days; which is eighteen days too many. But if
we reckon those 3½ years as prophetic years of 360 days each, then it comes out
perfectly to 1,260 days.
Scripture also reckons time by means of heptads; which are units of time consisting
of seven prophetic years each, e.g. Daniel 9:25-27.
* An especially important use of prophetic time is relative to Dan 9:25 which predicts
the date of Messiah's official introduction to Jerusalem; the so-called Triumphal Entry,
a.k.a. Palm Sunday (Zech 9:9 & Matt 21:1-12)

I'm sure the Holy Spirit figured it out and just made sure I did it right.
