Jesus says they did not know the day of their visitation because they were looking for a physical kingdom to be re-established and that wasn't what the prophecies were about.
The ceasing of the sacrifices happens in the "middle" of the 70th week. (AFTER 7 + 62 weeks = 70 weeks). There is no gap between the 69th and 70th week except in the vivid imagination of people who are trying to mislead those they teach.
The "ceasing" was not stopping, it was the ceasing of effectiveness. Jesus became king when he was crucified and resurrected, the sacrifice to end all sacrifices, not when he rode in on a donkey. Then in AD 70-74, which was many "weeks" after the 70th week of Daniel's (God's) prophecy, the physical temple was destroyed. The resurrection of Christ was the "rebuilding" of the temple, the spiritual temple.
Acts 2:30-33
"Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear."
The dead bodies in Jerusalem? Dead to God. Why did Jesus command them to be born again? Because they were spiritually dead, cut off from God.
Jesus was made king through his death burial and resurrection. The temple spoken of in prophecy was him, not the physical temple. John attests to this in his gospel account.
John 2:13-21
"Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. 15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. 16 And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” 17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.”
18 So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”
19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body. 22 Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said."
That term "the scripture" is speaking about the Old Testament prophecies about the rebuilding of the temple. At the end of Luke we read that Jesus opened the apostle's minds to the scriptures so they could understand the prophecies. Then of course they wrote things down so we could also understand those prophecies and not fall into the same errors of the Pharisees and scribes.
John 5:39
"You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me."
take a moment and list the details and think if they are congruent in the way you assemble them. You did manage to get the sacrifice stopped in the middle of the week. but scriptures shows 3 times the kingdom comes when Israel is saved and not destroyed. You ignored the Hosea post and the current events which have every preparation for another temple being planned at the same time a Satanic one world government is being formed. You did not reconcile the rest of Jer 31 either which shows Jerusalem being rebuilt and never to be thrown down again and declared holy.
psalm 2 and 110 is in play and think where did Jesus ascend to.
1 Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the LORD and against His Anointed,
saying,
3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”
7 “I will declare the decree:
The LORD has said to Me,
‘You
are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give
You
The nations
for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth
for Your possession.
9 You shall break[fn] them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
1 The LORD said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
2 The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion.
Rule in the midst of Your enemies!
3 Your people
shall be volunteers
In the day of Your power;
In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning,
You have the dew of Your youth.
4 The LORD has sworn
And will not relent,
“You
are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord
is at Your right hand;
He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath.
6 He shall judge among the nations,
He shall fill
the places with dead bodies,
He shall execute the heads of many countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook by the wayside;
Therefore He shall lift up the head.
The nations now through the UN are plotting a vein thing against the LORD and His anointed. Note Jesus is to sit there until his enemies are made His footstool then he is king on the holy hill in Zion and nations are his inheritance. In Dan 2 the kingdom comes when the stone cut without hands descends and destroys hte image of mans kingdoms and there is no trace of them any more. The stone becomes a mountain that covers the earth and is a kingdom that has no end. The kingdoms of man still stand and the righteousness that is to cover the earth has never been. Here is a link to a UN blasphemy that points to the kingdom of antichrist rising through this entity.
What you have right is that the new covenant is in full force and for now the kingdom is not of this earth and there is a thing as Spiritual Israel. The idea of national Israel being saved and the LORD coming as king over this earth is reality and the things you have right are not effected by this prophetic destiny. Read Ezekiel 36 and Isaiah 61 and explain how those passages make any sense if the church is Israel.
