Davy, the 7 years are in Ezekiel 39 - 100% concrete. The confirming of the (Mt Sinai) covenant for 7 years requirement is in Deuteronomy 31:9-13. The Jews interpret the new covenant in Jeremiah 31:31 as a "renewal" of the Mt. Sinai covenant. You can't put those three things together?
Do some of the Jews realize the ten tribes never returned to this day and are to be gathered when Messiah comes? Yes, some Jewish scholars do believe this. But many of them do not, and consider the majority of the ten tribes are lost forever.
What today's Jews follow is mostly Talmudic teaching which is loosely Torah based. Their traditions have gotten in the way of doing all of what Moses told them, which is why our Lord Jesus rebuked the scribes and Pharisees concerning their traditions (Matt.15). Judaism is actually a newer religious movement that came out of the Jew's 70 years Babylon captivity. That is when many of the Canaanites began creeping into the house of God (Ezra 2; 8; 15; Nehemiah, Nethinims were the left-over peoples of the pagan nations of Canaan which Israel was not able to destroy).
Their belief that the new covenant of Jeremiah 31 is a renewal of the old covenant given through Moses exactly fits what the "vile person" of Daniel 11 is to do in Jerusalem in the last days:
(I don't really like the NIV because of the NT Alexandrian texts, but for Dan.9:27, it's better than the KJV):
Dan 9:26-27
27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."
NIV
Dan 11:21-37
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
This "vile person" is that one of the Dan.9:27 verse which will end the daily sacrifice and place that abomination idol to make the temple spiritually desolate. It's given further below starting in Dan.11:31. This "vile person" will "obtain the kingdom...", which means he will fulfill the role of a king in Jerusalem.
Dan.11:23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
That "league" he will make is that covenant of Dan.9:27 for seven years. That is the confirming of the old covenant by that small group of Jewish leaders in Jerusalem for the end (most likely the Jewish Sanhedrin in Jerusalem that has formed up again in our time). It's the covenant you're talking about that the deceived orthodox Jews believe Messiah will come to give. (But it is not... the REAL Jer.31 New Covenant, for those orthodox Jews still reject our Lord Jesus Christ today, and that's actually the Covenant God was pointing to in Jer.31, which I'm sure you are aware.)
Dan.11:28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
The "vile person" will then begin to be against that holy covenant ("league" of verse 23) he made with the small group of Jews.
Dan.11:29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
At that time, the "vile person" will be against that old covenant renewal, and will have intelligence with the false Jews of the "synagogue of Satan" (ones Jesus called false Jews who say they are Jews, but do lie and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan' - Rev.2:9 & 3:9).
Dan.11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Then that "vile person" will spiritually pollute the new temple with substituting the daily sacrifice with an idol abomination placed in the temple, which is the "abomination of desolation" event Jesus warned us about for the end.
