In this view, the Tribulation will last seven prophetic Hebrew years (lasting 360 days each) in all, but the Great Tribulation will be the second half of the Tribulation period. [10] In this view, this seven-year period is considered to be the final week of Daniel's prophecy of seventy weeks, found in Daniel chapter 9.
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 ...

Midtribulationists believe that the Rapture will take place at the halfway point of the seven-year tribulation, i.e. after 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 years. It coincides with the "abomination of desolation"—a desecration of the temple where the Antichrist puts an end to the Jewish sacrifices, sets up his own image in the temple, and demands that he be ...
