Those who believe the Tribulation will last 7 years seem to take it from Daniel 9:24-27.
The Angel Gabriel spoke of 70 weeks. 70 weeks = 490 days.
A ‘day for a year’: 490 years. (Numbers 14:34, Ezekiel 4:6)
455 BCE to 36 CE = 490 years (Don’t forget there is no year 0. Maths!)
The last ‘week’ of years from about 29 CE to 36 CE covers Jesus ministry for three and a half years, his death in about April 33 CE which put an end to sacrifice under the Mosaic law. The rest of the ‘week’ of years (three and a half years) kept the Covenant for the Jews in place until 36 CE, when Gentiles became Christians.

Acts chapter 10, the story of Peter opening the way for Gentiles, since he had the keys of the Kingdom.
