This is a misunderstanding of the Prophecy of Seventy Weeks in Daniel chapter 9, in which the 490 years is an uninterrupted period starting from "the time the word goes out to rebuild and restore Jerusalem," of Daniel 9:25 and ending 3½ years after Jesus' death. In the prophecy, the starting point identified with a decree by Artaxerxes I in 458/7 BCE to provide money to rebuild Jerusalem and its temple. Now there where two earlier decrees by Cyrus and Darius’. So why don't these two decrees qualify to start the prophecy of Daniel 9:25? Well lets take a look at these two decrees. The first is the decree of Cyrus, given in his first year (probably 537/536 B.C.) which is recorded in Ezra 1:1-4. An undated decree of Darius (but falling about his second year, 520/519 B.C.) which is found in Ezra 6:1-12 merely reconfirms the decree of Cyrus. however, the first two decrees are about the temple, and its reconstruction, whereas the statement in Daniel 9:25 is concerned with the decree that resulted in the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem. The first two decrees can be omitted from consideration, because they deal only with the building of the temple, and not the rebuilding of the city and restoration, "that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times." So we can see that the third decree of Artaxerxes is the one that started the prophecy of Daniel 9 and was implemented in September/October 457 B.C (Ezra 7:12-13).

Lets read through the entire prophecy and then break it down...

Daniel 9:24-27
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

One thing that must be understood first is the 'a day for a year' rule established in Ezekiel 4:6.
Ezekiel 4:6
And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.

For every day that is mentioned in this and all other biblical prophecies they are equal to a prophetic year. There is virtually no debate about this point in Christian circles and we'll find that the rule holds true in this prophecy.

The Timeframe:
The angel Gabriel starts the prophecy by giving a block of time in verse 24, seventy weeks. Seventy weeks is equal to 490 days, or 490 prophetic years. That is our timeframe for this prophecy from beginning to end.

Verse 25 tells us when this timeframe begins, 'from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem'. When did this occur? See Ezra 7; for this is the command where the rebuilding of Jerusalem was actually accomplished and that command was given by Artaxerxes, king of Persia; which occurred in 457 BC. There were two other kings that made similar commands to rebuild Jerusalem but those proved to not be fruitful.


This is the total 70-week block given by Gabriel in verses 25 & 27:
Block 1: 7 Weeks - (49 years) - Starts in 457 BC

Block 2: 62 Weeks - (434 years) - Starts in 408 BC

Block 3: 1 week - (7 years) - Starts in 27 AD


Let's look closely at the last week/ 7-year block (Block 3); for this is the period of time that many think will be the famous 'Seven-year Tribulation' of the future:

3 ½ Years + 3 ½ Years = 7 years (one week)
This block starts in 27 AD. What happened in this year? Christ was baptized, anointed, and started His public ministry.
The "midst of the week" started in 31 AD (3 ½ years later). What happened in this year? Christ was killed on the cross. (New Covenant confirmed.)
This block ends in 34 AD. What happened in this year? Stephen, the last disciple to the Jews, was stoned by the Sanhedrin and the Gospel went out to the Gentiles.

So we see that this breakdown perfectly follows the prophecy of Daniel 9 and we find that this prophecy was about the coming Messiah (Jesus Christ); history and later books of the Bible verify this.

Why do people want to put this last week of the 70 at the end times? There is no biblical reason to do so and it breaks the block of time Gabriel started the prophecy with. So let's ask some important questions.

Is the antichrist mentioned anywhere in Daniel 9:24-27? No. The "he" mentioned in verse 27 is Christ, not Antichrist, for Christ is the focus of the whole prophecy. Also, we find that only Christ makes convenants in the Bible. Is there any mention of a rebuilding of the Jewish temple? No. Any mention of sacrifices being restarted? No. Any mention of a covenant being broken? No. In fact verse 27 says the opposite, that the covenant would be confirmed.

So the time for this prophecy starts when the decree was issued to rebuild Jerusalem in 457 B.C. The appearance of "Messiah the Prince" at the end of the 69 weeks (483 years) is aligned with Jesus' baptism in 27 CE. The 'cutting off' of the "anointed one" is applied to the Jesus' execution 3½ years after the end of the 483 years, bringing "atonement for iniquity" and "everlasting righteousness". So the prophecy is all about the coming of the Messiah, which was when Christ first came and died at the cross in in 31 CE "in the midst of" the last seven years. The end of the 70th week or last seven years is associated with 34 CE when the gospel was redirected from only the Jews to all peoples.
 
My understanding:

In Matthew 24 Jesus Christ states the Tribulation will be cut short or no flesh would remain,

The final half of the "time of the End" is 1260 days, i.e. 42 months i.e. 3 1/2 years,

the final year of the final 3 1/2 is THE Day of the LORD.

Therefore; the Tribulation will be cut short on the final day of the first 2 1/2 years. The final day, as I can find no scripture stating the 1260 days had been cut short. The Great Tribulation is 900 days long.

I have found the Time of the end is seven years. Seven is God's number showing Spiritual Completion, Spiritual perfection.

During the first 3 1/2 years Seals 1 - 4 are fulfilled and the final 3 1/2 years -- 1260 days , Seals 5, 6 and 7 take place.
 
This block ends in 34 AD. What happened in this year? Stephen, the last disciple to the Jews, was stoned by the Sanhedrin and the Gospel went out to the Gentiles.

I see the baptism of Cornelius in Acts 10 as the end of the 7-year period that the new covenant was to be established with Israel.
 
Why do people want to put this last week of the 70 at the end times? There is no biblical reason to do so and it breaks the block of time Gabriel started the prophecy with. So let's ask some important questions.

Because they've been misled by the satanic spirit of dispensationalism.
 
There is no 7 years tribulation.

The tribulation is for the last three and one half years.

The tribulation is for the saints.

God is love and loves all people but one day He has to end sin on earth.

So He is giving the world 7 years to have their way to go against the truth.

For the first half they will establish a system the exalts people and there is no personal God.

Salvation is still available to the world.

For the last half they go against all people who do not accept their system.

Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

Mat 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Israel as a nation has 70 weeks, 490 years to make an end of sin, bring in everlasting righteousness, and anoint the most holy who is Jesus.

We see that Israel is not in the truth for Israel as a nation does not acknowledge Jesus as their Messiah.

So the 70 weeks could of not been fulfilled.

Israel is blinded in part until salvation is no longer available to the Gentiles which is when they take the mark of the beast in the middle of the 7 years period.

So the 70 weeks could of not been fulfilled for if it was Israel as a nation would be in the truth.

When salvation is no longer available to the Gentiles then God will send Israel 2 witnesses to turn them to the truth.

69 weeks has passed with 1 more week to go 7 years.

Which is when God gives the world their way to go against the truth.

And brings Israel to the truth fulfilling the 70th week.

In which then they will see Jesus.

The New Age Christ/antichrist will negotiate peace in the Middle East resulting in a 7 years peace treaty.

It will pave the way for all Hebrews to go to Israel for the Gentile nations will cause it to happen.

The antichrist wants them back on their land but God means it for good towards the Hebrews.

The New Age Christ will push the agenda of the new age which he will think to change times and laws.

Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Israel as a nation is protected for the first half of the 7 years period because of the peace treaty which the antichrist wants them to accept the new age.

Rev 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Rev 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

Rev 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Rev 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Rev 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

Israel as a nation is protected for the last half of the 7 years period.

Which the antichrist does not like that the 2 witnesses are working in Israel to turn them to Jesus.

But he has no power to stop the 2 witnesses for their power is too great.

It would seem like the world would abandon the antichrist and follow what the 2 witnesses are saying.

But it is too late for all people who did not love the truth were given strong delusion being deceived by a devil when they were cast to earth and have the nature of a devil.

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

The saints will not be gathered unto Christ until the man of sin claims to be God which is in the middle of the 7 years period.

Salvation is still available during the first half so the saints will remain on earth to represent the truth.

When the world takes the mark of the beast then salvation is no longer available to the world and the saints can be caught up to Christ.

Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Dan 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

Dan 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

Dan 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

But the beast makes war against the saints, and overcomes them.

The tribulation.

Which the beast destroys the mighty and holy people.

Which can only be Christians for there is no in between for the world was given strong delusion to follow the antichrist.

Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Which the saints are given in to the beast's hand for the last half of the 7 years period.

Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

And when the beast shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the saints all these things shall be finished written by Daniel.

1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

Which then comes the end when the Son shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, and will put down the world.

Since God is giving the world 7 years to go against the truth the saints will remain on earth.

For if the saints do not remain on earth how did the world go against the truth if the truth is not there.

Which Jesus said behold the kingdom of God is within you as you portray His truth.

When the resurrection happens Jesus puts down the world which they do not continue anymore.

That is why the resurrection cannot happen pre-7 years or the middle because the heathen continue.
 
There is no 7 years tribulation.

The tribulation is for the last three and one half years.

The tribulation is for the saints.

God is love and loves all people but one day He has to end sin on earth.

So He is giving the world 7 years to have their way to go against the truth.

For the first half they will establish a system the exalts people and there is no personal God.

Salvation is still available to the world.

For the last half they go against all people who do not accept their system.

Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

Mat 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Israel as a nation has 70 weeks, 490 years to make an end of sin, bring in everlasting righteousness, and anoint the most holy who is Jesus.

We see that Israel is not in the truth for Israel as a nation does not acknowledge Jesus as their Messiah.

So the 70 weeks could of not been fulfilled.

Israel is blinded in part until salvation is no longer available to the Gentiles which is when they take the mark of the beast in the middle of the 7 years period.

So the 70 weeks could of not been fulfilled for if it was Israel as a nation would be in the truth.

When salvation is no longer available to the Gentiles then God will send Israel 2 witnesses to turn them to the truth.

69 weeks has passed with 1 more week to go 7 years.

Which is when God gives the world their way to go against the truth.

And brings Israel to the truth fulfilling the 70th week.

In which then they will see Jesus.

The New Age Christ/antichrist will negotiate peace in the Middle East resulting in a 7 years peace treaty.

It will pave the way for all Hebrews to go to Israel for the Gentile nations will cause it to happen.

The antichrist wants them back on their land but God means it for good towards the Hebrews.

The New Age Christ will push the agenda of the new age which he will think to change times and laws.

Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Israel as a nation is protected for the first half of the 7 years period because of the peace treaty which the antichrist wants them to accept the new age.

Rev 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Rev 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

Rev 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Rev 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Rev 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

Israel as a nation is protected for the last half of the 7 years period.

Which the antichrist does not like that the 2 witnesses are working in Israel to turn them to Jesus.

But he has no power to stop the 2 witnesses for their power is too great.

It would seem like the world would abandon the antichrist and follow what the 2 witnesses are saying.

But it is too late for all people who did not love the truth were given strong delusion being deceived by a devil when they were cast to earth and have the nature of a devil.

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

The saints will not be gathered unto Christ until the man of sin claims to be God which is in the middle of the 7 years period.

Salvation is still available during the first half so the saints will remain on earth to represent the truth.

When the world takes the mark of the beast then salvation is no longer available to the world and the saints can be caught up to Christ.

Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Dan 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

Dan 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

Dan 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

But the beast makes war against the saints, and overcomes them.

The tribulation.

Which the beast destroys the mighty and holy people.

Which can only be Christians for there is no in between for the world was given strong delusion to follow the antichrist.

Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Which the saints are given in to the beast's hand for the last half of the 7 years period.

Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

And when the beast shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the saints all these things shall be finished written by Daniel.

1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

Which then comes the end when the Son shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, and will put down the world.

Since God is giving the world 7 years to go against the truth the saints will remain on earth.

For if the saints do not remain on earth how did the world go against the truth if the truth is not there.

Which Jesus said behold the kingdom of God is within you as you portray His truth.

When the resurrection happens Jesus puts down the world which they do not continue anymore.

That is why the resurrection cannot happen pre-7 years or the middle because the heathen continue.

My comment:

Christ said the tribulation will be cut short or no life will remain,, so how can it last 3 1/2 year plus The last year of the 3 1/2 is The Day of the Lord. The 6th seal stops the 5th and then the Day of the Lord begins.

The tribulation is for the saints ???

No! the Tribulation begins "The Time of Jacob's Trouble" which Is the House of Israel,

And I believe the world has been full of sin for 6000 years, not just 7

Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Jesus did not shorten the days of the tribulation but said that it would be a short period of time.

If the Bible says three and one half years is the tribulation as truth then Jesus is not going to change it.

The Bible says eternal life to the saints as truth.

Jesus is not going to say I shortened it to a million years.

And for people that think the tribulation is not for the saints then why did Jesus shorten the days for the elect's sake if it has no bearing on them.

There is no 7 years tribulation but three and one half years.

Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Dan 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

Dan 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

Dan 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

The beast rules for three and one half years and overcomes the saints which he will destroy the mighty and holy people.

Three and one half years tribulation.

Dan 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

The saints are given into the beast's hand for three and one half years.

Three and one half years tribulation.

Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

Three and one half years tribulation then all these things are finished written by Daniel.

1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

Then comes the end which the saints are resurrected and Jesus puts down the world.

If the tribulation is three and one half years as truth then Jesus will not shorten the days.
 
Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

The beast rules for three and one half years and overcomes the saints which he will destroy the mighty and holy people.

Three and one half years tribulation.

Dan 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

The saints are given into the beast's hand for three and one half years.

Three and one half years tribulation.

Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

Three and one half years tribulation then all these things are finished written by Daniel.

1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

Then comes the end which the saints are resurrected and Jesus puts down the world.

If the tribulation is three and one half years as truth then Jesus will not shorten the days.

22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
