What's it mean?

Here is what you originally wrote, just so we're on the same page:

Quote:you're absolutely right. The time of tribulation may be longer or shorter than 7 years. It would have been more appropriate for me to say, during the seven year treaty period, during which there will obviously be some tribulation for believers. I'll list below, a few scriptures where it speaks of the 3 1/2 year periods. Hopefully the time of tribulation will indeed be shortened for sake of the elect.

I had zeroed in on the tribulation part. Again, my question is, where do the passages point to a specific time line - either 3 1/2 years or 7 years? It's a pretty popular theory that the trib is 7 yrs long. But you use the word treaty? Can you clarify what you are referring to? thanx!
