What’s Causing The Delay?

Q

What do you say to someone who questions if the delay for the completion of the 70th week is just a convenient way to explain away the fact that the world hasn’t ended yet and to make the bible match up more accurately to actual events. What in the bible supports that delay? I believe the Bible is factual but I’m not sure how to answer this question. Love your website. Thanks!

Both Romans 11:25 and Acts 15:13-18 explain that the delay in implementation of the 70th week of Daniel is for the purpose of allowing the full number of gentiles to come into the Church. Once that number is complete the rapture will come and the 70th week will be completed.
