Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

Aquinas Study Bible

He means that he is blessed who waits for forty-five days beyond the predetermined number, for it is within that period that our Lord and Savior is to come in His glory. But the reason for the forty-five days of inaction after the slaying of the Antichrist is a matter which rests in the knowledge of God; unless, of course, we say that the rule of the saints is delayed in order that their patience may be tested. (St. Jerome) This period of time could be related to the time after the slaying of the Antichrist in Daniel 7:11-12.
