Does the gap refers to the church age?

Moody radio program In the Market with Janet Parshall on March 7, 2019 with guest Dr Gary Frazier:

Question from Listener:

I want to revisit the question from the gentleman about the seventy weeks in Daniel. I thought his question was Daniel explains the first sixty nine weeks as being different from the last week, some people interpret that to mean we are in gap between the church age, between the sixty nine and the seventieth week and the gap is of indeterminate length because those events in the seventieth week won’t happen till the tribulation etc, is there a biblical warrant for inserting that gap?

Answer from Dr Gary Frazier:

Well, first of all, Eric, I will tell you that in my humble opinion, the text itself requires it. Here’s why: When that seventieth week of Daniel occurs, the sixty nine week ends with the cutting off of the Messiah, the seventieth week, when you look at that, it has not yet taken place but we have to have an intermediate period and most of us who study scripture literally believes that’s because of the insertion of the church age, born to evangelize the world and the final seventieth week is the ultimate tribulation period, delineated in scripture the final two thousand five hundred and twenty days.

Daniel 9

24 “Seventy weeks are determined
For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,
To make an end of sins,
To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the Most Holy.

25 “Know therefore and understand,
That from the going forth of the command
To restore and build Jerusalem
Until Messiah the Prince,
There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;
The street shall be built again, and the wall,
Even in troublesome times.

26 “And after the sixty-two weeks
Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself;
And the people of the prince who is to come
Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
The end of it shall be with a flood,
And till the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate.”
