Thanks for responding. From my reading, the covenant, or agreement is 7 years, not the tribulation. The tribulation begins in the middle of the 7 year covenant according to these verses and Matthew 24:29-30 says it ends when Jesus arrives.
As Dan 9:27 says, the tribulation starts when the sacrifices are ended. This happened in 135AD. What am I missing? Again, thanks for responding.
The word “sacrifices” was added by the English translators. The Hebrew refers to “the daily”. We are interpreting that to mean the people who pray daily, “Give us today our daily bread.”
