Why is there a nearly 2000 year pause between the 69th and 70th week of Daniel's prophecy, which is where I gather the "7 years of tribulation" comes from?
Why does "the church" get to escape the tribulation, when there isn't a biblical precedent for people escaping anything - Noah didn't escape the flood, he went through it. The Israelites in Egypt didn't escape the 10 plagues, but went through them, protected. Joseph didn't escape the famine in Egypt but had to go through it along with everyone else?
These are a couple questions I just can't seem to find satisfactory answers to. I'm honestly not trying to kick a hornet's nest, but these are a couple questions I simply don't understand when it comes to talking about the 2nd advent.

What was so special about them?
They remembered Jesus' words and did what he said.
Just like us pretribs that pray as instructed "...but pray that you be counted WORTHY to escape the things about to come upon the world,and stand before the son of man"
You praying that?
Are any postrib rapture adherents praying that?
I do,quite regularly
