First, it is important to recognize the purpose of the tribulation. According to Daniel 9:27, there is a seventieth “seven” (seven years) that is still yet to come. Daniel’s entire prophecy of the seventy sevens (Daniel 9:20-27) is speaking of the nation of Israel. It is a time period in which God focuses His attention especially on Israel. The seventieth seven, the tribulation, must also be a time when God deals specifically with Israel. While this does not necessarily indicate that the church could not also be present, it does bring into question why the church would need to be on the earth during that time.

No disrespect, just discussing here .. OK?

The purpose of the 70th Week of Daniel is, according to scripture:

"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."

I don't think anywhere in scripture is Daniel's 70th Week called 'the Tribulation'.
The 70th Week contains the tribulation, as well as a lot more than just tribulation.

If we be careful about applying blanket terminology and let scripture define our terms, I think we can profit from it.
