It's Jesus who makes the covenant, and it's Jesus who ends sacrifice. The middle of the 70th week is the crucifixion. In this alternative view, there are no gaps in the time line. (But, there is a gap after the 70 weeks until the determined destruction of the city).
If there are no gaps in the timeline then why does the timeline contain three distinct time periods.
What is it that separates the time period of World War 1 and World War 2 ?

Luke 21:35-37King James Version (KJV)
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. sorry you don,t know

it implies we are to watch we are to be ready i have heard every type rapture teaching there is no man know the hour or the dayWatch for armies surrounding Jerusalem, so that you will know to flee to the mountains. Pray that this doesn't happen in Winter. Pray for the strength to escape.
Luke 21:36 But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
The issue is having the strength, it depends upon us to escape, not God directly (i.e. the Rapture). This accords with v21 "Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it."
Luke 21:35-37 has nothing to do with the Rapture. On the contrary, it implies there's no Pre-Trib Rapture.
.
If a "distinct time period" indicates a gap, then you believe there are are at least two gaps in the timeline, given three distinct time periods. And, if every distinct time period indicates a gap, then the whole timeline is worthless because any length of time can fall between any period (point on the timeline).
There are distinct time periods in the time line because that's how time lines works.
A timeline would indicate the time between the first and second world wars, just like Daniel's timeline indicates the time between events.

i have never disagreed with the above my point is we have no idea when this will take place imo it could happen at any time .i hear people teach this thus and that has take place before Christ returns . every thing is set in motion it could be with in the hour the day or another 100 years. our g parents was watching looking for his return. when the disciples asked about all this one of the main things he focused on let no man deceive you. with with all the new age movement which can be from A-Z just do good or no such thing as hell. i seen a obituary of person i know read he was of the baptist faith and enjoyed drinking beer with all his buddies .Here are 2 verse's from the scripture that Paul teaches us about the rapture.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
Three main things happen at the coming of the Lord.
- First - The Resurrection: And the dead in Christ will rise first.
- Second - The Rapture: Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them...
At this point, all of His people are gathered together to be with Him in the air, both those who had previously died, and were in heaven, together with those who are alive and remain on earth.
Do you know what the third significant thing that will happen at His coming?
- Third - The destruction of the false messiah; aka antichrist: And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:8
At this point I haven't made any claim about pre, mid or post trib coming of the Lord and the resurrection/rapture.
Can you agree with what I have presented so far, or no?

Daniel 9:24
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.
All complete and fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
i have never disagreed with the above my point is we have no idea when this will take place imo it could happen at any time .
i still stand by my beliefNo it couldn't just happen at any time.
The signs that Jesus listed, will happen first, and we will see them and know that the time is near.
For the sign to be seen, it has to happen.
Specifically this sign: “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), Matthew 24:15
The Day of the Lord is not going to come as a thief in the night for those who are watching.
The whole reason we were told to watch is, so that that Day does not come upon us as a thief.
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5
