I do not subscribe to a mid-trib (for lack of a better term) scenario. Although I will tie up my thoughts in the summary of his volume, I want to give some context as to the why our Rapture is at the beginning of the 70^th week, rather than the middle. Furthermore, if we understand that Scripture never ties the Rapture with the start the 70^th Week of Daniel, we can see how and why a gap must be necessary.
