Commentary
Seventy week prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 was completed in 34 AD.
There is no seven year period of tribulation in the Holy Bible.
The Bible says we must go through much tribulation to enter into the kingdom of God --- Acts 14:22; Revelation 7:14
There is no "rapture" of Christians before the day of the Lord, contracted to the Lord's day, the last day of the world.
