Believers during Daniel's 70th week will receive eternal life (John 3:5, with Ezekiel 36:25) and will enjoy spiritual "New Covenant blessings" (Jeremiah 31:33-34; Ezekiel 36:25-27). They will joyously anticipate the complete fulfillment of the New Covenant (Jeremiah 32:37-41; Ezekiel 36:28). "My Spirit within you" (Ezekiel 36:27) is distinct from the promise to us, "We (Father and Son by the Spirit) will come unto him, and make Our abode with him" (John 14:23). In this age the believer's body is the temple of the Spirit Who is "in you" (I Corinthians 6:19).
The Bride will have been raptured, therefore tribulation believers are not "in Christ" or "one with Christ" (Ephesians 2:13-18; 5:30-32).
