Yes — the seven-year period in Revelation is the final seven years left in Daniel's 490-year prophetic timeline, beginning when the Antichrist signs a treaty with Israel.
Les Feldick teaches that this final seven-year period, tied to Daniel 9:27, is what the book of Revelation unfolds. It is divided into two halves of three and a half years each, with the final half being a time of God's wrath. The seal judgments in Revelation carry the events forward, with the sixth seal reaching the midpoint.
Daniel 9:27 — This verse explicitly describes a covenant confirmed 'with many for one week' and states that in the middle of the week sacrifice and oblation cease — the foundational Old Testament passage for the seven-year period.
Daniel 9:27 speaks of a covenant confirmed 'with many for one week.' Within that week, at the midpoint, the sacrifice and oblation are caused to cease, and the abomination makes the temple desolate until the consummation. In Daniel's seventy-weeks framework, this 'one week' is seven years. Revelation 6 begins the unfolding of this period when the Lamb opens the seals of the scroll. The opening of the first seal introduces a white horse whose rider goes forth conquering, and the subsequent seals reveal events tied to the tribulation.
Les Feldick explains that the final seven years are the last portion of God's 490-year prophetic countdown for Israel. Since the church age has been inserted after the 483rd year, God's time clock has been stopped — but it will start again when the church is removed and the final seven years 'kick in gear.' The opening event of this period, according to Les, is the appearance of the Antichrist, who signs a seven-year treaty with Israel (Daniel 9:27). This triggers the prophetic clock. From there, the book of Revelation unfolds the period through the opening of the seven-sealed scroll, which Les describes as a 'mortgage.' The seal judgments are the triggering mechanisms for events in time. Les emphasizes that the week is divided into two equal halves of three and a half years. The first half starts with the treaty and will be difficult, and it is not a time of genuine peace and prosperity — whatever peace exists is short-lived. The final three and a half years will be more severe because God's wrath is coupled with Satan's torment. The sixth seal carries events to the midpoint, and the seventh seal introduces the seven trumpets.
Les Feldick teaches that the final seven years begin when the Antichrist appears and signs a seven-year treaty with Israel. This is tied to Daniel 9:27, where the covenant is made 'with many for one week.' During the church age, God's time clock has stopped, but this treaty will cause it to start again. The treaty itself is the 'triggering mechanism' for the final seven years.
Daniel 9:27 and Les Feldick both point to a division in the middle of the seven years. The first three and a half years, while difficult, are not the time of full wrath; the final three and a half years are more severe. In the middle of the week, the Antichrist causes the sacrifice and oblation to cease, making the temple desolate until the end of the seven years.
Les Feldick describes the seven-sealed scroll as a mortgage that God the Son opens. The seal judgments are the 'triggering mechanisms' for events in the tribulation. The first seal introduces the white horse (symbolic of the Antichrist), the red horse of invasion, the pale horse of famine and disease, and the black horse of death and destruction. The sixth seal brings the events to the midpoint, and the seventh seal triggers the seven trumpets.
Les Feldick stresses that the last three and a half years will be 'awesome' in its severity. While Satan torments the human race, God's wrath will be coupled with it, making that final half what it is. This is why Les cautions against believing that the first half will be a time of real peace and prosperity — that peace is short-lived. The entire seven-year period is described as the most awful period in human history.

A Seven-Year Period of Tribulation
The seven-year period begins with the treaty, followed by invasion, famine, and pestilence — the beginning of sorrows — making it the most awful period in all of human history.
Seal Judgments as Triggering Events
The seals are triggering mechanisms for events in time, including the white horse of the Antichrist, the red horse of invasion, the pale horse of famine, and the black horse of death.
A Week Divided in Half
The seven-year period is divided into two three-and-a-half-year halves; the first half will not be true peace and prosperity — it will be short-lived.
Daniel 9:27: And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
This is the key Old Testament verse that defines the seven-year covenant and its midpoint division.
Daniel 9:24: Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Sets the broader seventy-week (490-year) framework of which the final seven years are the last segment.
Revelation 6:1: And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
Begins the seal judgments that Les teaches unfold the seven-year period.
Revelation 6:2: And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Describes the first seal, which Les associates with the coming of the Antichrist.
Les Feldick teaches that the seven-year period will begin when the Antichrist signs a seven-year treaty with Israel. This event is tied to Daniel 9:27 and will restart God's prophetic time clock.
The seven years are divided into two equal halves of three and a half years. The middle of the week is marked by the Antichrist causing the sacrifice and oblation to cease and the temple to be desolated.
Les explains that the final three and a half years will be more severe because God's wrath is coupled with Satan's torment. The sixth seal brings events to the midpoint, and the seventh seal introduces the seven trumpets.
