How do we know Daniels Seventieth Week is also the seven-year Tribulation time period?
Showers: We’ve been talking about a seven-year period of time between the Rapture of the Church from the world and the glorious Second Coming of Christ immediately after the Great Tribulation. What’s the basis for this idea of this seven-year period of time between those two events? The foundational passage for that seven-year period of time is in the Old Testament, specifically in Daniel Chapter 9, verse 27. And just to give a little background so we understand, when you begin with verse 24 of Daniel 9, Daniel is receiving some incredible revelation from God through the Angel Gabriel. And in that revelation God was mapping out ahead of time His long-range extended program for Israel in the future. He says in verse 24 that “seventy weeks,” literally “seventy sevens are determined for your people.” Daniel’s people. That would be Israel. “And for your holy city.” That would be the city of Jerusalem. What he’s saying here is this: that God had determined seventy periods of time for Israel
