Two of my favorite prophetic interpreters, Hal Lindsay and Grant Jeffreys, each faced the dilemma of year option and chose the pre-seven-year option. However, both also commented that the mid-seven option was a possibility. And this study pursues the midterm option, and each reader is encouraged to consider maybe something different than they now believe. The timing of the gathering is as it related to the final seven years of the age. Both ruled out the post-seven years. Good luck in your study.
