What is the gap between Daniel's 69th and 70th week?

Chuck Smith saw the break in the text itself: "he did make a definite break between the sixty-ninth and the seventieth week," and taught that the last week "will not be fulfilled until the church is taken out of here." Messiah is "cut off" after the sixty-two weeks (Daniel 9:26); the "one week" of 9:27 is still to come. Read Chuck on Jeremiah 31:1 in the reader.
