@Mike Tang 1991 asked whether the Dan. 9 "Seventieth Week" 1/2 of the "week" (presuming 360 days per year = 3 1/2 years = 1,260 days) is the same duration as the Rev. 11 Two Witnesses 1,260 days of Prophetic Ministry.
MANY people offered their ignorance, but none offered their substantiation. And it seems to me that @Mike Tang 1991 deserves more than ignorance, so I'll offer the substantiation which both he and WE deserve.
1. First of all we must consider that Daniel's audience is both the Summary and the END TIME DETAILS of the sequence of World Empires:
2. Secondly, where the text was possibly written in about 610 BC or so, the "commentators" pronounced what was NEITHER SCRIPTURAL NOR HISTORICAL by FALSELY assigning the Inconcise Masculine Gender Text "weeks" as though it were the Concise Feminine Gender Text "weeks" (seventy "sevens"). As such they continued with their ERRORS by not waiting to the era approximate to 1948, but instead assigned the UNSEALING of this Prophecy effective some 583 BC.
3. Accordingly, EVERYTHING the commentators assert regarding the Prophecies of Daniel are garbage, from the Chapter 8 purported "Grecian", to the Chapter 9 "weeks", to the Chapter 11 "Grecian".
4. And when considering whether the "Seventieth Week" is FINALLY an end-time fulfillment, one merely must consider the THREE FOLD Sequence:
6. So per the above, it can be additionally PROVEN that the Seventieth Week is NOT a "Tribulation" occurrence, and I can provide that additional evidence to anyone interested upon request!
7. As such, we DO KNOW that the Two Witnesses are not only evidenced during the 3 1/2 year (NOT "seven year") Tribulation as specified in Rev. 13:5. And because we've apparently entered the Tribulation in the Spring of 2019, it equally appears that these Two Witnesses are going about GOD's Work, where ONE of the Two Witnesses is OBVIOUS, the SECOND seems to be LESS OBVIOUS --, although many have speculated as to his "behind the scenes" identity.
So I hope this helps convey a simple but accurate defense which others have misrepresented in their ignorance.

1. First of all we must consider that Daniel's audience is both the Summary and the END TIME DETAILS of the sequence of World Empires:
Dan. 2
31 “You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening. 32 The head of this image was of fine gold, its breast and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. 34 As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it smote the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces
Dan. 12
4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
And this is all well and good, except that where ALL Prophetic Chapters are to the Nations of the Earth, Dan. 9 is different:31 “You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening. 32 The head of this image was of fine gold, its breast and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. 34 As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it smote the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces
Dan. 12
4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
Dan. 9
2 ... I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years which, according to the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet ...
Because Daniel was NOT called to prophecy to the Jews, he had to don the Mantle of Jeremiah so that he could prophesy to his kinsmen. But the "riddle" continues, for this Prophetic Chapter is ALSO "shut up and sealed until the time of the end".2 ... I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years which, according to the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet ...
2. Secondly, where the text was possibly written in about 610 BC or so, the "commentators" pronounced what was NEITHER SCRIPTURAL NOR HISTORICAL by FALSELY assigning the Inconcise Masculine Gender Text "weeks" as though it were the Concise Feminine Gender Text "weeks" (seventy "sevens").

3. Accordingly, EVERYTHING the commentators assert regarding the Prophecies of Daniel are garbage, from the Chapter 8 purported "Grecian", to the Chapter 9 "weeks", to the Chapter 11 "Grecian".
4. And when considering whether the "Seventieth Week" is FINALLY an end-time fulfillment, one merely must consider the THREE FOLD Sequence:
27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”
... where:
(1) the first half of the week
(2) the second half of the week
(3) the "SHALL COME" which occurs some duration AFTER the Seventieth Week
5. And when taken in the CORRECT Scriptural Text, CORRECT Scriptural Sentences, and CORRECT History, we CAN CORRECTLY INTERPRET THIS CHAPTER. And to prove the point, most "translations" interpret the "Seven" and the "Sixty-two" as though it conveyed the purported value of "Sixty-Nine", which Newton correctly observed "does violence" to Scripture. And so the RSV and a few others correctly stipulate that there is ONE "anointed one" (not capital "m" messiah as "interpreted") after the Seven, and a SECOND "anointed one" after the Sixty-two. And last I checked, Jesus DIDN'T have an "older brother":(2) the second half of the week
(3) the "SHALL COME" which occurs some duration AFTER the Seventieth Week
25 Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off ...
6. So per the above, it can be additionally PROVEN that the Seventieth Week is NOT a "Tribulation" occurrence, and I can provide that additional evidence to anyone interested upon request!
7. As such, we DO KNOW that the Two Witnesses are not only evidenced during the 3 1/2 year (NOT "seven year") Tribulation as specified in Rev. 13:5. And because we've apparently entered the Tribulation in the Spring of 2019, it equally appears that these Two Witnesses are going about GOD's Work, where ONE of the Two Witnesses is OBVIOUS, the SECOND seems to be LESS OBVIOUS --, although many have speculated as to his "behind the scenes" identity.
