In this view, the Tribulation will last seven prophetic Hebrew years (lasting 360 days each) in all, but the Great Tribulation will be the second half of the Tribulation period.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In this view, this seven-year period is considered to be the final week of Daniel's <a href="/wiki/Prophecy_of_Seventy_Weeks" title="Prophecy of Seventy Weeks">Prophecy of Seventy Weeks</a>, found in Daniel chapter 9. It is theorized that each week represents seven years, with the timetable beginning from <a href="/wiki/Artaxerxes_I_of_Persia" class="mw-redirect" title="Artaxerxes I of Persia">Artaxerxes</a>' order to rebuild the <a href="/wiki/Second_Temple" title="Second Temple">Second Temple</a> in Jerusalem.

This is seen as creating a break of indeterminate length in the timeline, with one week remaining to be fulfilled. </p><p>The time period for these beliefs is also based on other passages: in the Book of Daniel, "<a href="/wiki/Time,_times,_and_half_a_time" class="mw-redirect" title="Time, times, and half a time">time, times, and half a time</a>", interpreted as "three and a half years," and the Book of Revelation, "a thousand two hundred and threescore days" and "forty and two months" (the prophetic month averaging 30 days, hence 1260/30 = 42 months or 3.5 years).

After the Tribulation, Christ will return to establish his Millennial Kingdom.</li> <li>Prewrathers believe the rapture will occur during the Tribulation, at some unknown time in the second half of the 70th week of Daniel, but before the <a href="/wiki/Seven_trumpets" title="Seven trumpets">seven trumpets</a> and <a href="/wiki/Seven_bowls" title="Seven bowls">seven bowls</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Divine_retribution" title="Divine retribution">wrath of God</a>.
