Incorrect. You need to compare Scripture with Scripture carefully regarding Daniel's people:
Daniel 9:24
[24]
Seventy weeks are determined upon
thy people and upon thy holy city,...
First, the 70 weeks are determined upon
THY PEOPLE. The question is, who is Daniel's people? We need to go no further than the preceding verses:
Daniel 9:20
[20] And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
So, "thy people" of Daniel 9:24, refers to the people of Israel, agreed? Now the next question is,
which Israel? Let read the rest of verse 24:
Daniel 9:24
[24] Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
This is what Daniel means by making an end of sins and that reconciliation is made for iniquity. For who? Obviously, it is for His People, Israel. This verse 24 of Daniel chapter 9 is
clearly speaking of the Messiah's
atonement for the sins of Israel,
by the work of the cross. Agreed? Now let verify with Luke who wrote about this:
Luke 1:68-70
- "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
- And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
- As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:"
This is the prophecy is fulfilled as Daniel's people Israel has their Messiah come, that their sins would be closed up (or come to an end), and that reconciliation would be made. And that is exactly what Christ, who was Israel's Messiah, did. Moreover...
Hebrews 2:17
- "Wherefore in all things it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of The People."
The same as the Prophesy we read in Daniel!! That Messiah would come for the reconciliation of the sins of His people. Not the Jews only, but the Gentiles as well! And this was fulfilled in Christ's atonement for His People who is also Daniel's people! As a Gentile but spiritually Jews in Christ, Daniel is also one of my people! In Christ! Is the covenant not for the Jews and national Israel only? It is for His People, "Covenant" Israel!
Daniel 9:26
[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.
God never mentioned about evil prince here! The prince of verse 26 is still the Messiah the Prince according to the context! The people of the prince at the time of the Cross, were the Jews! Didn't you read the Scripture:
John 2:18-21
[18] Then answered the Jews and said unto him,
What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
[19] Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy this temple, and
in three days I will raise it up.
[20] Then
said the Jews,
Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
[21]
But he spake of the temple of his body.
Jesus gave them a sign that THE JEWS will be the ones, not the Roman, who will destroy temple which represents Christ's body, the congregation of Israel! It is His people, Israel, who will come and destroy the city and the sanctuary as a REPRESENTATIVE of God's Kingdom, because of their rejection of the Messiah the prince!
Matthew 21:42-43
[42] Jesus saith unto them, D
id ye never read in the scriptures, The
stone which the builders rejected, the
same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
[43] Therefore say I unto you,
The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
See? God has taken the kingdom from the Jews and gave to another. Who? Remember, Jesus said he will rebuild the temple in three days? Where will that temple be? This is where the kingdom was given to!
Ephesians 2:16-22
[16] And that
he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
[17] And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
[18] For
through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
[19] Now therefore
ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but
fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
[20] And are
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
[21] In whom
all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
[22] In whom
ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
This is the temple that Christ rebuilt after the Jews have destroyed him! Along with the death of the Messiah, the kingdom was taken away from old testament congregation (body of Christ's temple) and gave to New Testament congregation (rebuilt body of Christ's temple). This is PEOPLE whom Christ has died FOR! Not for Himself! You, me, Daniel, John, Peter, etc. are all one in Christ. THIS is the Covenant that Christ has confirmed or made strengthen FOR THIS PEOPLE which is much BETTER than that of Abel! Again, didn't you read the Scripture?
Hebrews 12:24
[24] And to
Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that
speaketh better things than that of Abel.
And Christ did confirm this covenant with his blood in Daniel 9:27!
Those who have ears, let him hear!
This has NOTHING to do with Roman Titus, Antichrist, 70AD or 7 years peace treaty with national Israel!
...He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
This is the warfare spoken of in Daniel 9. This is the flood (overflowing) upon Israel of which at the end of it, desolations are determined. As it was written, and as Jesus said, '
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate!' Don't be misled by the word flood, it's meaning can be seen in verses such as Isaiah 8:8, or Daniel 11:10. A excellent verse to get a feel for what this means is Daniel 11:26. When the Bible talks about an army, war, and the flood or overflowing. This is what is in view. It means it is a great overflowing army in this war. The armies are those who fought against Christ, and to the end of the war, they are left desolate and cut off, but to a remnant, he returns with Mercies.
Was there war at the cross? Indeed there was. When the Bible says that they were all against Christ, that is War. To be at enmity against Christ, is to be at war with Him. Just as to be reconciled in Christ, is to be at Peace with Him. The Flood is the overwhelming or overflowing of those who came against Christ. There was none that stood with Him. We see this in Messianic Psalms, such as:
Psalms 69:2
- "I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the FLOODS OVERFLOW Me. I am weary of crying: My throat is dry: Mine eyes fail while I wait for My God. They that hate me without a cause (John 15:25) are more than the hairs of Mine head: They that would destroy Me, being Mine enemies wrongfully are mighty:..."
This is the overflowing flood of the
army that came against Christ, and
which made an end of City and Sanctuary. It's those who fought against the Messiah, His Enemies, those that Hated Him. They were as a Flood. And they made war until the end, and desolations were determined upon old testament congregation for rejection of their Messiah. They are judged of God. Blindness had happened to them. The Prophet and the vision is sealed. In fact, the verse we saw in Acts 15 of rebuilding the tabernacle of David from it's ruins, is taken from the Book of Amos.
Amos 9:11
- "In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old."
When Acts says this scripture is fulfilled (Acts 15:16) as it is written, it tells us that we don't have to look elsewhere for the fulfillment.
It is fulfilled in Christ. Again, notice the language of verse 5 when talking about this judgment of Israel.
Amos 9:5
- "And the Lord God of hosts is He that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a FLOOD: and shall be drowned, as by the FLOOD of Egypt."
At the cross, Christ freed us from bondage to Satan just as God freed Israel from bondage to Pharaoh. And as the armies who fought against Israel were drowned then, so those who fight against Israel (Christ) at the cross come up like a flood, and are drowned in God's judgment. It is God who has left this city desolate because of their warfare with him. They would destroy the City and the Temple, and God will bring judgment upon them, and raise it up again in 3 days. He will build again the tabernacle that is fallen, and raise again the ruins, with
living bricks - Saints! Not literal bricks. Merciful God returns with compassion, to the rebuilding of the tabernacle.
