The Pre-trib Rapture in Daniel 9


 
The period of time known as the Tribulation is the last week of Israel's seventy weeks or 490 years (Dan 9:24). Dan 9:26-27 states that the 69th week ended when Jesus was "cut off" i.e., crucified,  and the 70th week begins when the covenant is signed with Anitchrist. The period where we are now is an intercalation between the 69th and 70th week belonging to the Church not Israel. The 70th week belongs to Israel not the Church. Thus the Church is raptured before the 70th week begins.
