2. No, the Tribulation Period being a transition to the Kingdom Age does not work for midweek. The WHOLE seven years is transition. If one argues that only the last half is tribulation, then the last half is transition.
The problem is not whether it is a transition or not. The problem is if the church is in the transition or not.
As was said here, Daniel's seventieth week has to do with Israel, and the Rapture of the Church is pre-week. The 70th week is tribulation and the whole week serves as a transition to the Kingdom, the church being absent since the week began.

it certainly does.
If you are saying that the WHOLE WEEK in Daniel is tribulation, that would make thw WHOLE WEEK a transition period.
By understanding WHICH part is tribulation (the last half) we understand just how the transition might work.
In transition periods, the times are not clearly defined. Just as in Daniels 62 weeks Messiah is "cut off" and the the church is instituted. Yet the 62 weeks is just as much "determined for thy people" as the last week. Yet there's the church. The thief on the cross was a Gentile saved by grace.
