The text itself mentions things happening in between a gap of time. Refresh the page, and see my commentary again and re-read it very slowly and carefully. Verse 26 is saying
AFTER the 7 + 62 weeks (69 weeks), the Messiah will be cut off (i.e. His dying on the cross for us). The people of the prince are unbelievers because unbelievers destroyed the Jewish city. Romans had destroyed the Jewish city. Romans are unbelievers. They are the people of the prince who destroyed the city. This again takes place
AFTER 69 weeks. Verse 27 is dealing with the Prince of the Power of the air because it is the same prince mentioned from verse 26 (i.e. the prince of the people who destroy the Jewish city), AND in this final week (70th week): This prince (i.e. the devil who works in unbelievers) will make the overspreading of
abominations desolate, even until the consummation (i.e. Consummation = End).
What is the "
abominations desolate"?
Is this referring to the Messiah? NO!!!

Mark 13:14-20
"But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days."
Jesus speaks negatively of the "
abomination of desolation" and says that it is standing where it ought not to be. This is the image of the beast in the Jewish temple in the upcoming future.

Revelation 13:14-15
"They... make an image to the beast, that had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
I never heard about this happening already in history.
Also, it says there will be affliction such as not from the beginning of the creation nor shall ever be again. Meaning, this event is soooo bad that it will be the worst affliction EVER in human history!!! You would think that if this was event was so bad, then why hasn't anyone in history remember it?
The antichrist is going to kill 1/4th of the planet by the enforcement of the mark of the beast. This is the breaking of the 4th seal. The 5th seal is the saints crying out for justice in Heaven (in the fact that they were just killed). The 6th seal is God's response in answering their cry for justice and He brings in His wrath upon the Earth. Demons coming up, darkness, etc. I am pretty sure none of the stuff in Revelation like this has happened yet.
