The only way that you can sustain the Pretrib theory is by avoiding text after text, post after post and argument after argument. I refer you back to the many avoided posts that forbid Pretrib.
You hang onto one text - Daniel 9 - that makes absolutely no mention to your so-called rapture, seven-year tribulation, and third coming. It has to be forced into the sacred text.
Daniel 9:2 says: “In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplication, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.”
Are these seventy years linear, congruent and sequential?
Daniel 9:21-24: “while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. 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.”
Every sensible theologian of all end-times views see these initial seventy years in Daniel 9 congruent and sequential, why would see the "seventy weeks" any different?
