Did you not notice that Daniel himself separated verse 27 from the other verses? In other words, Daniel wrote it with a gap.I agree with you Davy, labels are often very limiting and generally emanate from theology school. The issue though cannot be ignored. Many interpretations try to amputate Daniel's 70th week from the rest of the prophecy and stick it into the future. This falsehood is not accidental, and it is so ubiquitous it merits its own name i.e. Futurism.
The antecedents of the "he's" in Daniel 9:27 are Messiah in verses 25 and 26. Therefore all three verses refer to Messiah.Did you not notice that Daniel himself separated verse 27 from the other verses? In other words, Daniel wrote it with a gap.
24 Seventy weeks...
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:
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off,...
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:...
Verse 24: 70 weeks
Verse 25: 7 weeks and 62 weeks or 69 weeks
Verse 26 "after the 7 + 62 weeks" Notice, he could have written, "in the 70th week - but did not. Why? Because the Holy Spirit knew that the 70th week was future.
Does a future 70th week fit with other scriptures? Of course.
Daniel wrote of the last half of this 70th week twice as time, times and the dividing of time, or 3 1/2 years.
John wrote of this same period of time three different ways, with days, with months and will years. In Revelation, the 70th week of Daniel is clearly marked by 7's: the 7th seal opens the week, the 7th trumpet marks the midpoint and the 7th vial ends the week. So from chapter 8 to chapter 16, John expands on the 70th week of Daniel.
Therefore, we conclude that Daniel separated the 70th from the 7 and 62 for a purpose, because this week is still future to us today.
Then there would be an abundance of verifiable archeological evidences that proven beyond the shadow of a doubt who the False prophet of Rev13 was that pulls fire down from heaven on demand , there would be evidence of what the image of the beast was that was not human that could speak and cause people to worship the beast , There would be evidence that shows the Euphrates river was dried up in the year 70 A.D. There would be evidence that Jesus has returned to earth after his ascension into heaven , there would be evidence that shows that there have been no more wars since 70A.D. or at least a nearly zero amount of wars , but such is not the case . There would be evidence of a time when satan was unable to deceive people and cause deceptions -never has happened . There would be evidence of all the prophecies having been fulfilled and a world of loving peaceful people - no where near that yet and there is more ; but this is enough to prove that , The Man of sin that will come and with his false prophet have not come and proves the 70th week has not yet comeIf these fulfillments are historical
The Man of sin that will come and with his false prophet have not come and proves the 70th week has not yet come
Christ Jesus said it is yet to come and we can see the evidence of those things to come begin to happen in our time , pay attention to what is happening live and you will see that Christ told you that when he returns it will be the most notable happening in the history of the earth and every eye will see it happen , you are unfortunately following a false ChristChrist said that it has. I believe Him.

Seriously ?Why?
What are you trying to say exactly?
VERY good point! They cannot. And for a very simple reason: these events are FUTURE.Seriously ?
It is abundantly obvious that many things that are to happen have NOT YET happened
The things that will happen when the Man of Sin arrives have not yet happened , only people who want to say they have happened think it has but in no way at all can provide any physical substantive evidence that it has , reread the post and tell me how many things you can prove have physical evidences that they have happened
"all things must be fulfilled..." Indeed they MUST - because they are God's words. And some of them WERE but more WILL BE in our future.This is a false Christ?
Luke 24
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Luke 24
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures
The antecedents of the "he's" in Daniel 9:27 are Messiah in verses 25 and 26. Therefore all three verses refer to Messiah.
It has been demonstrated from Christ's own words that He fulfilled Daniel 9:24 at His first coming.
Daniel's 70th week encompasses the verses of Daniel 9:24-27.
There is only one 70th week. It is either historically contiguous with the preceding 69 weeks, as has been the prevailing view of the true Christian Church up to the 19th century; or it is disembodied and postponed, according to the dispensational view after the 19th century.
If Daniel 9:24 has been fulfilled, and it has, then Daniel 9:25-27 have also been fulfilled, because all verses relate to the one 70th week.
If Daniel 9:24 has been fulfilled historically, and it has, then Daniel 9:25-27 have also been fulfilled historically.
If these fulfillments are historical, and they are, then they are associated with a contiguous, undisembodied, unpostponed, 70th week.
Just look at the way Daniel wrote it!What am I supposed to notice here?
How does Daniel separate the 70th week, in your opinion?
Just look at the way Daniel wrote it!
The 70th week is in a verse by itself, after other events happen.
Every verse is a verse by itself. The 70th week starts at verse 26.Just look at the way Daniel wrote it!

Daniel 9:24 is one of those that were."all things must be fulfilled..." Indeed they MUST - because they are God's words. And some of them WERE but more WILL BE in our future.
Who is the only one identified as a prince in these verses?"The antecedents of the "he's" in Daniel 9:27 are Messiah in verses 25 and 26." Not according to millions of church members over the centuries - but perhaps in your mind.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: 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.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The people of the Prince that shall come shall destroy the city..."
The "prince" that came was Titus. And it was Roman Soldiers that took down the temple block by block and destroyed the city. Are you then confusing Jesus and Titus?
And he shall confirm the covenant......This he refers back the the first anticedant: the prince of the previous verse that came and destroyed the city and the temple.

They had faith in the evidence that Matthew 24 was fulfilled.

Maybe it started AD 67/70 and is ongoing...until the prophetic clock expires.
