Subject: Raptured? When? Part C
It should be noted that the entire seventieth week is in view when it
is described and predicted in prophecy. While all would agree, on the basis
of Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15; and Revelation 13, that the week is divided
into two parts of three and one-half years each, yet the nature of and
character of the week is one, permeating both parts in their entirety. It
becomes impossible to permit the existence of the church in the week as a
unit and it becomes equally impossible to adopt the position that the
church, although exempt from a portion of the seventieth week, may be in the
first half of it, for its nature is the same throughout. The impossibility
of including the church in the last half makes it equally impossible to
include it in the first half, for while Scripture divides the time of the
week, it does not make any distinction as to the nature and character of the
two parts of it.
