Daniel 9:25-27 – Jesus Confirmed Covenant, Cut Off, Sent Romans to Destroy Temple, End Sacrifices

https://thenarrowpath.com | Steve Gregg, in an excerpt from his lecture on Daniel 9:24-27 (29:25-57:29 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbTmTEVk8WE&list=PLtzt3JhaK2U74W012mni3yR8MTWcmJAui&index=7 ) demonstrates it was Jesus, the Messiah who confirmed the covenant in the middle of the week, not the non-mentioned antichrist, as he was cut off or killed 3 ½ years into his ministry. The city and sanctuary were destroyed as Jesus foretold in Luke 21, and elsewhere when He sent Titus and the Roman army to destroy Jerusalem and the temple, bringing an end to the Jewish sacrificial and offering system.

Daniel 9:24-27

New King James Version

24 “Seventy [a]weeks are determined
For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,
[b]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 [c]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 [d]street shall be built again, and the [e]wall,
Even in troublesome times.

26 “And after the sixty-two weeks
Messiah shall [f]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 [g]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 [h]desolate.”
