That would put the second coming around Sept. 2019 not 2023. Daniel's 70th Week was completely fulfilled by 73AD. The actual tribulation lasts 49 years from 1967 to 2016. Some even believe it will terminate by Sept. 2012 this year.

Daniel's final seven is not 3 1/2 years. It is 7 years. The Tribulation lasts 7 years. The last half is 3 1/2 years called the Great Trib. Daniel's final seven has not started yet. It starts after the 3 events of Rev. 6.12 (2010/11, Nov. 3, 2013, 2014/15) before the great and terrible day of the Lord (Joel 2.31). Rev. 8 which are the first 4 trumpets, lasting 3 1/2 years, are the first half of the Tribulation and have not started yet as the first rapture has not occurred (Rev. 3.10, 7.9). Transgressions have not ended (Dan. 9.24) so the 70th seven did not take place 70 AD.

There was no 7 year covenant 70 AD. Dan. 9.26 is 70 AD not 9.27. There is no reason to think the 70th seven would be 49 years either though there are seven sets of seven (double fulfilment) from June 7, 1967 to Day of Atonement Sept. 23, 2015 indicating the Tribulation starts in 2015 lasting the 7 years. There are 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets Sept. 14, 2015 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022. 2012 is irrelevant and a distraction.

The Tribulation can't end 2012 if it hasn't even started yet which can't start before 2015 because of these signs (Rev. 6.12, Acts 2.20) which must occur first; as well the Temple must be under construction during the Tribulation (2 Thess. 2.4, Rev. 11.2) to be completed by April 20, 2016 so there are 2300 days (April 21, 2016) to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022.
