Daniel 9:27

[gospelfer]

The 70th week occurred after the 69th and contained the Gospel. There was a destructive war in Israel after that ending with that generation, like Christ had said in Lk 23, where he said that the behavior of Israel would be worse than what they were doing on his crucifixion day. Worse! Think about that!

Moses uses the word "generation" to denote age or epoch. Christ's use is part of a discussion of Israel's ages, so it is probably he is using it in that sense, and is thus speaking of the end of the curse (and gentile trampling of the land).

re 117:
That theme is not Daniel's, but theologians. What the text says is the Gospel of Christ is the theme. The prayer was for the people to change their ways so their blessings would be restored. The answer was not the behavior of the people. (Actually, they worsen. The thing mentioned in 8:13 becomes full-blown and is the background of the vocab 'desolation' in 9.) The answer was Christ's atonement and Gospel. Then the rebellion that desolates, which despises this Gospel, has its way and ruins the country.

If we actually read Daniel, we see that his prophecies cover the period of gentile trampling of the land, and they all (or nearly all) end with the millenium -- and those powers being kicked out. If your interpretation were correct, the Romans would have been kicked out of the land in 70AD. But they weren't. Also, your intreperation contradicts Moses' 3-part generation (age) history of Israel which spans is "blessing", "curse" (subjection followed by national destruction, exile, being hated, and wandering), and finally "return" (which includes a return to the land). So your model simply doesn't match any of the linear prophetic presentations of Jewish history.

Hint

The Lord speaks of the post flood generation when the earth was repopulated .... and this is still ongoing as we speak

He then contrasts the endings of the divide [Matthew 24:36-39]
