You are correct...but I always liked Paul more than John. Especially after her hooked up with Yoko! :-)
First there is no such thing as a seven year tribulation! It does not exist.
The tribulation is three and a half years.
Revelation 1:19 Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this. (Yeshua)
Revelation 4:4 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.
Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.
After this... He repeats the message!
Notice there are no references to a seven year time period in Revelation, you'll find time, times and half a time, three and a half days (years actually) and 42 months, all three and a half years. So where is the other half?
Daniel 9:7 He will confirm a covenant with many for one seven. In the middle of the seven he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.
In the middle of the 'seven' He (Yeshua) will put an end to sacrifice and offering. (It is finished).
30 C.E. is the year of the crucifixion/resurrection and it just happens to be the 'middle of a week!' 3790 on the Hebrew calendar.

Why Didnt the Red Ribbon on the Head of the Scapegoat Turn White in 30 C.E.?
Question:
I was wondering about a story that a Hebrew-Christian told me recently. He said that there was a scarlet cloth which would turn white every year when the high priest atoned for the sins of the people. When Jesus died, around 30 A.D., the cloth would no longer turn white when the priest atoned for sins because Jesus was the final atonement. Ive read this story in other sources, and I wondered what you have to say about it...
...The Rabbis taught that forty years prior to the destruction of the Temple the lot did not come up in the [high priests] right hand nor did the tongue of scarlet wool become white... (Talmud, Tractate Yoma 39b)
Citing the above statement, missionaries contend that the year the scarlet ribbon ceased to turn white coincides with the time that Jesus was crucified. After all, they argue, 40 years prior to the destruction of the Second Temple corresponds to the year 30 C.E, which is approximately the time of Jesus crucifixion. They conclude, therefore, that the cessation of the whitening of the scarlet ribbon clearly indicates that God was no longer accepting animal sacrifices, and the Jewish people, therefore, needed to turn to Jesus as their only avenue for atonement. Ultimately, this argument asserts that the reason why the scarlet strip of wool did not turn white in the year 30 C.E. was due to the fact that the sins of the Jews were not forgiven because they did not accept Jesus as their messiah.

The 'ruler' is a Muslim
Daniel 11
37 He shall give no heed to the gods of his fathers, [Chemosh, Molech] or to the one beloved by women; [Ashtoreth] he shall not give heed to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these; [Allah] a god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts.
39 He shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god; [Allah] those who acknowledge him he shall magnify with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and shall divide the land for a price.
2 Kings 23
13 The king also desecrated the high places that were east of Jerusalem on the south of the Hill of Corruption--the ones Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the vile goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the vile god of Moab, and for Molech the detestable god of the people of Ammon.
The 10 nations are listed in Psalm 83
And you can visit...
The story of Amman always begins with its legendary seven hills. Entangled and interwoven, they are keepers of civilizations that have long sowed their soil and scaled their sides and tops. They are hills that cast shadows on the water stream that sprang from their bedrock, bringing people, conquerors, and civilizations to their rolling landscapes. Together, these hills shaped a city that many were destined to call home. From the Ammonites of the 13th century BC to the Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, Nabateans and Romans, Byzantines and Umayyad Arabs, every civilization, and every conqueror, would settle near the heart of the city, nestled quietly between its seven hills. They called it many names; from Rabath Ammon to Philadelphia, or even the city of seven hills. Today, this city and its hills, is called Amman, the Capital of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
