"So if the Tribulation occurs in the 70th week of Daniel, how many years in a week?"

7 years in one of Daniel's weeks. (70 weeks = 490 years)

But, 490 years only puts us back to 1515, the middle of the Dark Ages. The 70 Weeks of Daniel, I thought, referred to the amount of time it would take for Israel to become a nation.
That happened in 1948.
70 years in a week, would be 4900 years, which would put the beginning of the 70 weeks, at 2895 BC.
I am working backwards from 2005.
Assuming 2012 as the End of Days, that would put it somewhere around 2702 BC.
ARRRRRGGGHHHH I hate math...especially negative numbers..
