DO YOU EVEN READ MY POSTS?
Cyrus gave a Decree in 536 BE to Rebuild the TEMPLE, not Jerusalem.
Artaxeres gave the Decree in 445 BC to Rebuild Jerusalem and the Walls which took 49 YEARS (a week of Years); no one today could accomplish even an fraction of that in one week of days. USE YOUR HEAD already.

Zechariah 14:2-4 (CSBBible)
[SUP]2 [/SUP] I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.
[SUP]3[/SUP] Then the LORD will go out to fight against those nations as he fights on a day of battle.
[SUP]4 [/SUP] On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in half from east to west, forming a huge valley, so that half the mountain will move to the north and half to the south.

[SUP]3 [/SUP] knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.

[SUP]10 [/SUP] But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.
BY THE LORD'S CLOCK IT IS ONLY NEARING THE END OF DAY TWO SINCE HIS ASCENSION.
To prove the point of the seventy 'sevens' as being seventy sets of seven years, we have two events that are mentioned in Daniel 9:24-27.
1). 7 sevens from the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem
2). 62 sevens, which at the end of the Messiah was cut off
The issuing of the decree to rebuild and restore Jerusalem was issued by king Xertaxes by request of Nehemiah, which were the letters that Nehemiah requested for safe passage through the Trans-Euphrates and letters to cut down wood from the kings forest. The accepted date for this is 446 BC. So lets do the math:
7 x 7 = 49 years
62 x 7 = 434 years
Total = 483 years
446 BC minus 483 yrs = 37 AD
With the calendar changes this puts us right in the ball park of the Messiah being cut off at the end of 483 years or 37 AD, without taking into account the calendar changes. When interpreting them as seventy 'sevens' of weeks, there is no fulfillment, neither for the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem nor for the Messiah being crucified.
The only conclusion that fits is seventy weeks of years or 490 years, of which 483 have been fulfilled when Messiah was crucified, with the last set of seven delayed to be fulfilled in conjunction with the end of the age described in Dan.9:27
The bottom line is that if you count back seventy weeks from the time the Messiah was crucified, it should lead to when the decree was issued to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, but it does not.

This is the best ever discussion on pretrib rapture or Mid trib. A must watch to settle your mind.
Very well conducted with phone in input, so draw your own conclusion and see how the one guy cringes along the way... so in the end has to cover by saying a prayer. No argument here just straight forward points of view.
