That means the New Covenant was only "confirmed" ("made understood") for 3 1/2 years, according to your view.
Not 7 years.
That is not what I believe. I believe the New Covenant was preached to the Jews for 7 years before it was taken to the Gentiles.
When did that preaching begin according to Jesus?
Luk_16:16 "The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.
The question we should ask is... How does the New Covenant connect to Daniel chapter 9, since Daniel 9 is about the New Covenant Messiah?
Dan 9:24 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.
"thy people" = Daniel's people, the Jews
"the holy city"= Jerusalem
"to seal up the vision and prophecy" = to finish the 70 weeks prophecy
Based on the above, how long was the Gospel preached to Daniel's people, the Jews, (confirming the covenant with many) during the first century, before it was taken to the Gentiles, based on Galatians 1:18?
