I think it's also important to distinguish between the Great Tribulation of Matthew 24 and the general tribulation principle in John 16 which exists in the world, which the Lord Jesus has overcome.
Yes--I think the Church has always had tribulation coming from Satan and his followers. However, I think that the period spoken of in Daniel 9:27 is of a different character--the entirety of it will be a pouring out of the wrath of God Almighty and the Lamb. (see Revelation chapter 5 on).
