Not at all not once did I mention 7 years. We would be hard pressed to say the tribulation is only 7 years.
as for the 7 years this comes fron the book of daniel there is a time declared for Israle of 70 weeks of years
Dan 9:24 "Seventy 'sevens' [fn] are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish [fn] transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. [fn]
so the70 7s are 70 sets of 7 years
7 sets of 7 years and
62 sets of 7 years
=69 sets of 7 years so there is 1 set of seven years left over to make up the 70
so form the time the comand is given to rebuild the temple with streets and walls to the coming of the messia which is Jessus Christ will be 62 sets of 7 years
Da
He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' [fn] In the middle of the 'seven' [fn] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. [fn]" [fn]
this final 7 years is the what many people call the great tribulation however the great tribulation is realy only the last 3.5 years after the ruler breaks the covanent with the Jews you will find many mentions of a 3.5 year periould measured in (weeks days years) in revalation i think this refers to the 2nd part of the 7 years
you also want to study the proficy of statue specificily the feet of iron and clay and the 2nd one with the beasts as it is the same proficy repeated in paralell with the beast in revalation
oh and as for the gap between the coming of Jesus christ and the last set of 7
it is interesting to note where Jesus stops when reading from the book of Isaiah in luke 4 16
Isaiah 61
1 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,
Because the LORD has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
Jesus does not read And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn, he stops at a comma has been in place for 2000 years untill a world ruler makes a 7 year peace treaty with Israle
well that is atleast how i see it
also im pre trib but thats another post maybe

1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be change
Some of my other posts in this thread demonstrate the last trump is the seventh trump of Rev. Sadly many do not believe 1Cor15:52 as written. Those who believe in a pretrib rapture must add an exception or a qualifier to the verse in order to justify their belief that the last trump of 1Cor15:52 is not really the last (the 7th trump of Rev). The verse does not say the last trump for the church. … The verse does not say the last trump of the festival of… The verse does not say the last trump except for the trumps of …. Yet many insist that is what the verse means. God is not the author of Confusion. If the verse meant that, then that is what the verse would say. The verse is true as it is written or it is a lie. Sadly the pretrib folks don’t believe this verse as written is true and as a result continue to add a qualifier or an exception to the verse in order to justify their belief last isn’t really last.
Mar 7:13Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Considering there are countless views of eschatology all built in the absence of sound hermeneutic principles it would behoove all of us to diligently search for the truth on this subject Not doing so and blindly following the eschatology doctrines we have been taught could result in us doing exactly as Christ warned against in Mark7:13. A risk I am not willing to take.
As for me I'll willing take my place beside John our brother in tribulation. Who as his words show was already in tribulation at the time he wrote the following verse;
Rev 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Chris
