Shalom, the 70th week of Daniel and the tribulation period being the same event is only from the foolish human imaginations, because only then will it support the false teaching "the tribulation" will last 7 years as well as being future. Daniel was told a prophecy concerning not just his people the Israelites specifically Yahudim but also the city of Jerusalem as well as the temple. First thing we are told is this period will last 70 weeks or 490 years no more and no less. Next we are told this prophecy is about Daniel's people who are not Christians. Then we are told before the 70 weeks deadline is reached the HaMashiach will come. Then we are told that after the 69th week during the Middle of the week HaMashiach will be cut off which means butchered. So since the HaMashiach is cut off after the halfway into the 69th week and the deadline is only to the 70th week and does not include the 70th week, the most that can still remain until the deadline is 3.5 years. Example if I have a 6am deadline for work, I cannot then expect I can finish the work anytime from 6am-7am. We are also told about two people one who will put an end to temple offerings, but this means he will only give cause to end temple offerings this is what Yahshua did. The second person we are told will be the one to not only cut off HaMashiach but will also destroy both the city of Jerusalem and the temple we know this is what the Roman empire did. In regards to "the tribulation" being yet future completely ignores the grammar of not just the Greek manuscripts that were used in translating but also ignores the grammar of the English of 1611 from which almost all English bibles use for their translations. John makes it clear that he is not just in tribulation but is in the tribulation and this was in the late first century AD. The idea that the 70th week is part of the 70 week prophecy ignores the cultural, grammatical, and historical context of the writings to its original intended audience. Dan_9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Dan_9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. Dan_9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. Rev_1:9 I, John, who also am your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ; Yahshua did not leave us to wonder or conjecture about what he meant about before his coming so will it be like the days of Noah Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, Which means to the unprepared Yahshua return will be as much a surprise as it was to the unprepared when the flood came.
Great bible teacher! This stain needs more prophecy teachers on it like Jimmy evans, Amir Tsarfati or Jeff Kinley!
