Daniel’s 70 weeks ended during the time of Jesus, culminating in the destruction of non-believing Jews in 70 AD - exactly as predicted. The Bible is very consistent on this.

70AD was part of it when Jerusalem was surrounded by armies and first destroyed. Titus was the leader of the battle but he was not the emperor yet, so he would not set himself up in the temple and “proclaim himself to be God” as 2nd Thessalonians says. 135AD was the second part when the actual abomination of desolation was set up, Hadrian’s statue in the holy place where the temple once stood.

Jesus said the tribulation would begin when the abomination would be set up and end with his coming. So I don’t see the tribulation as 7 years, I see the covenant as 7 years. I don’t see any verses that say the tribulation would be 7 years.

Counter - point - I guess some folks will claim 2nd Thessalonian’s description of the man of lawlessness has to point to another, future occurrence/fulfillment of this abomination of desolation, and that could be. It could unfold like that for sure, but it could also be in the past.

Ezekiel 37 says the temple will be in Jerusalem for all time, so another temple will exist, but Zechariah 6 seems so say the Messiah will build the temple himself.

Thoughts?
