ATP says: What if I were to say there is no 7 years tribulation? Quote.
In one way, you are right; the Great Tribulation actually will only last for 3 1/2 years.
It is the Seven year treaty of peace between the Leader of the One World Govt, Rev 17:13, Daniel 9:27 and 'the many' - who are the majority of the citizens of Beulah. They are the righteous people who gather soon after the Lord clears the entire Middle east area by His fiery judgement/punishment, triggered by and attack by an Islamic confederation on Israel. Psalm 83, Rev. 6:12-17 and over 100 other prophesies.
The first 3 1/2 years of this treaty will be peaceful, only when the Leader, the Anti-Christ comes to J,lem and sits in the Temple, does the GT commence.
Your notion that the 70th 'week' must follow the 69th, is not supported by history or the Bible; Daniel 9:25-26....after 69 weeks Jesus is removed and an invading prince, Titus, will conquer and destroy Jerusalem. That there is a long gap between the Crucifixion and now, we know from hindsight; for that is what has happened. You cannot fit what is described in verse 27 after 33 CE, it remains to be fulfilled in the future.
Using commentators in an attempt to prove your idea of Christ being the confirmer of the treaty, and calling it a 'Covenant', is simply preterist falsehood.
