Even when the Book of Revelation was written in the first century, a 30 day month was used. Typical ref: Rev 11:2-3   "...the nations will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months. And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days." These verses reference back to the Book of Daniel, circa 600 BCE.

Yes, when you want your bullshit mythology to look like it is a continuation of older bullshit mythology it is generally considered a good idea to refer back to it a lot. Whoever wrote revelations was literate in Greek, therefore he could read the septuagint and make sure that his bullshit looked like what he thought was fulfilment of prophesy in daniel.

Incidentally, that is why christians for centuries believed Mary was a virgin when she had Yeshua, because they misread the "prophesy" in Isiah even though that read literally; "see that pregnant young woman over there your Maj., before she has her baby the barbarians currently invading Judah (Assyrians IIRC) will be repulsed and your lands fully restored to you." "I am not worthy from such grace from yhwh" "Yes you are, and when this prophesy comes true (in about six months) you shall call the child Immanuel (meaning the lord is with us)".
As you can see, at no point does that "prophesy" even come close to referring to Yeshua bar Yosef.
