Gino, you are 'spot on!'  Absolutely, by placing the first half of the 70th week inside the 7 years of the Tribulation - one is truly crediting Satan and the Antichrist, 'the son of perdition' with fulfilling the 7 requirements of verse 24!  That is simply insane.

 

To do so, like you said, is blasphemy of Jesus Christ for sure, as one of the definitions of the word 'blasphemy' is:  "An irreverent or impious act, attitude, or utterance in regard to something considered inviolable or sacrosanct."

 

Such thinking is beyond disrespectful to the Person of Jesus Christ and His inviolable work of atonement on the Cross, which the Father considers sacred and most holy, secure from profanation, assault or desecration and is incapable of being tampered with or dishonored in any way - for evermore!

 

Thank you for your straight forward way of summing up the matter!
