Here is Daniel 9:24-27 from the KJV;
<SUP>24</SUP> 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. <SUP>25</SUP> 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. <SUP>26</SUP> 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. <SUP>27</SUP> 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.
Compare it to what Jesus said His mission was to be in Luke 4;
<SUP>18</SUP> The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, <SUP>19</SUP> To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Comparing the verses in Luke to the verses in Issiah 61;
<SUP>1</SUP> The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; <SUP>2</SUP> To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; <SUP>3</SUP> To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Now, verse 27 in Daniel, is probably the most controversial piece of scripture in Christian prophecy interpretation. Most of what I have read in the mainstream, claims that the one who confirms a covenant is antichrist. If anyone wants to discuss the matter further, I will be happy to continue.
