The time period for these beliefs is also based on other passages: in the Book of Daniel, "time, times, and half a time", interpreted as "three and a half years," and the Book of Revelation, "a thousand two hundred and threescore days" and "forty and two months" (the prophetic month averaging 30 days, hence 1260/30 = 42 months or 3.5 years ...
This seven-year 'week' may be further divided into two periods of 3½ years each, from the two 3½ year periods in Daniel's prophecy where the last seven years are divided into two 3½ year periods, (Daniel 9:27) The time period for these beliefs is also based on other passages: in the book of Daniel, "time, times, and half a time", interpreted ...
This view holds that the tribulation of the church begins toward the latter part of a seven-year period, being Daniel's 70th week, when the Antichrist is revealed in the temple. This latter half of a seven-year period [i.e. 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 years] is defined as the great tribulation, although the exact duration is not known.
The seventy weeks prophecy is internally dated to "the first year of Darius son of Ahasuerus, by birth a Mede" (Daniel 9:1), [34] later referred to in the Book of Daniel as "Darius the Mede" (e.g. Daniel 11:1); [35] however, no such ruler is known to history and the widespread consensus among critical scholars is that he is a literary fiction.

In Adventist belief, this was the last of three Germanic tribes (including also the Heruli and the Vandals) to be defeated by Rome (see Daniel 7:20, Daniel 7:24 and other passages). The period ended with the successes of Napoleon of France ; specifically, the capture of Pope Pius VI by General Louis Alexandre Berthier in 1798, which was a blow ...
The distinguishing feature of the post-tribulation view is that it believes the gathering of the saints will occur after a 7-year tribulation period and not before as in the pre-tribulation view. However, there are some post-tribulation proponents who do not hold to a 7 year tribulation period, but believe there are only 3-1/2 years left of the ...
Some commentators also view the verses prior to this as referring to the Antichrist. [17] Jesus references the abomination from Daniel 9:27, 11:31, [18] and 12:11 [19] in Matthew 24:15 [20] and Mark 13:14 [21] when he warns about the destruction of Jerusalem. Daniel 11:36-37 [22] speaks of a self exalting king, considered by some to be the ...
Historic premillennialism is one of the two premillennial systems of Christian eschatology, with the other being dispensational premillennialism. [1] It differs from dispensational premillennialism in that it only has one view of the rapture, and does not require a literal seven-year tribulation (though some adherents do believe in a seven-year tribulation).
