The Dan.9:26 verse about the one who would destroy the city and sanctuary (2nd temple)
I agree that is what Daniel 9:26 (b) is about
was about Titus and the Roman army in 70 A.D.
I agree that historically, the roman armies destroyed Jerusalem (the city) and the sanctuary (the temple) in 70 ad. Notice the Greek septuagint states "he" shall destroy the city and sanctuary WITH "the prince"
Daniel 9:26 (b)
Greek Septuagint and
he shall destroy the city and the sanctuary WITH the prince that is coming: they shall be cut off with a flood, and to the end of the war which is rapidly completed he shall appoint [the city] to desolations.
Daniel 9:26 (b)
KJV and
the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof
shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
In the parable of the wedding feast, we see the king destroying Jerusalem WITH an army
Matthew 22:7 But when the king heard
thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
In the parable of the wicked tenants it is the Lord who comes to destroy Jerusalem
Matthew 21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men,
Thus it is ultimately the King (God) who destroys Jerusalem in 70 ad.
It wasn't about Nebuchadnezzar, which is what you're suggesting.
Never suggested it was Nebuchadezzar. Chronologically that would make no sense. So I'm not sure where you are getting that from........
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.
So if someone asked you what number comes after 69, you would say 69?
As an adverb, the only time the hebrew for "after" means hind is with regards to place/location as in "behind", never does "after" mean hind or end with regards to time. It always means "after" or "following" with regards to time.
1. adverb a. of place, behind, twice Genesis 22:13 (many MSS. ⅏ᵐ5 ᵑ6 Ol Ew read אֶחָד see Di)
Psalm 68:26.
b. of time, afterwards Genesis 10:18;
Genesis 18:5;
Genesis 24:55;
Genesis 30:21;
Judges 19:5 +; וְאַחַר in laws of P, as
Leviticus 14:8,19;
Leviticus 15:28;
Leviticus 22:7;
Numbers 5:26 and elsewhere
Let's look at some examples of the same hebrew word being used:
Were the men to pass on while they refreshed themselves, or after they finished refreshing themselves?
Genesis 18:5 while I bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and AFTER that you may pass on—since you have come to your servant.”
Did Leah have Dinah while she had Zebulun? or Did Leah have Dinah sometime after Zebulun
Genesis 30:20 So she called his name Zebulun.
i AFTERWARD she bore a daughter and called her name Dinah.
In order for one to interpret Jesus being cut off at the end of the 69 weeks, one must inappropriately change the meaning of the word "after"
1. 7 weeks (49 years) = command to restore the city (and temple) -
I agree
2. 62 weeks (434 years) - from the end of the dedication to the end of 62 weeks, Jesus would be 'cut off' (crucified).
Please provide the scripture that states Jesus is cut off at the end of the 62+7.
In all versions I have read, it says the Messiah is cut off AFTER 7+62.
