It's interesting the angel specifically talks about Jerusalem being rebuilt after the Babylonian exile
Dan 9:25
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Where does the prophecy specifically mention it being rebuilt a 2nd time after it's prophecied destruction in 70 ad?
The Dan.9:26 verse about the one who would destroy the city and sanctuary (2nd temple) was about Titus and the Roman army in 70 A.D. It wasn't about Nebuchadnezzar, which is what you're suggesting.
Notice its 69 weeks until the coming of the messiah, not the messiah's cutting off.
No, the prophecy reveals Messiah is cut off at the end of the 69th week, not the 70th. There is no way to move Christ's crucifixion into the 70th week.
The Three Periods In Daniel's 70 Weeks:
1. 7 weeks (49 years) = command to restore the city (and temple) - 454 B.C., to completion - 404 B.C.
2. 62 weeks (434 years) - from the end of the dedication to the end of 62 weeks, Jesus would be 'cut off' (crucified). The MATH - 49 years + 434 years = 483 years from 454 B.C. = 29 A.D., the date of the cross. The 62nd week ended on 29 A.D.
3. "one week" (7 years) = the final week of the 70. The events of the "vile person" of Daniel 11 who comes to power using flatteries and takes the kingdom and makes a "league" that restores old covenant worship in Jerusalem with the daily sacrifices, and then ends that and instead sets up an abomination idol in the sanctuary, making it spiritually desolate.
