Daniel 9:25 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.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:
Do you agree or disagree that this portion only involves 69 weeks? IOW, it doesn't involve anything before the 69 weeks nor anything after the 69 weeks? Assuming you agree, the same should be true of the following, in a similar manner.
Daniel 9:27 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.
It stands to reason that if what I quoted from Daniel 9:25-26, that this portion doesn't involve anything outside of the first 69 weeks, the same should be true of verse 27 in like manner, it doesn't involve anything before the 70th week nor after the 70th week. Everything in this verse occurs within the 70th week. And the fact it does, that's how I can know without a doubt that I'm interpreting verse 27 correctly and that some of the rest of you are not. Your interpretations couldn't possibly work if all of verse 27 occurs within the 70th week. The way some of you try and get around this, you deny that everything in verse 27 occurs within the 70th week.
Let me bring up the following again since no one bothered to respond to it when I posted it earlier.
This is from post #834.
Daniel 9:27 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.
and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate
The text indicates he shall make 'it' desolate. Make what desolate? What is the nearest antecedent? Is it not this---the sacrifice and the oblation? Or it this instead---the covenant?
It has to be one or the other since that is the only two choices for the nearest antecedent in this particular verse.
Which then brings up another point, meaning those interpretations which see 2 periods of time in verse 27, where the latter period is not even part of the 70th week.
1st period of time---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--thus within the 70th week.
2nd period of time---and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate---thus outside of the 70th week according to these particular interpretations.
and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate---that this is meaning outside of the 70th week according to some interpretations, yet according to the text it is the following that is being made desolate---the sacrifice and the oblation. How is one to make sense of an interpretation such as that? The only way to make sense of the text in verse 27, all of the text has to be meaning during the 70th week. Now we can make sense of why the sacrifice and the oblation is the nearest antecedent of what is being made desolate. Yet we can't make sense of the text in verse 27 if any of the pronouns are meaning Christ, though. Or at least I can't.
And another point that needs to be stressed. There are not two actors in verse 27, there is only one. The same one that confirms the covenant is the same one that causes the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and is the same one for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate. How one can think Christ fits all of this is beyond belief?
