Why did Gabriel intentionally not mention the new covenant in Daniel 9, although the messiah would be cut off?
Gabriel did not need to mention it, because Daniel had already read the Book of Jeremiah when Gabriel arrived, and the promise of the New Covenant is found in Jeremiah 31:31-34.
Dan 9:2 in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the LORD through Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
Therefore, Daniel already knew about the promised New Covenant.
The same source of truth found in Daniel 9 is also found in Hebrews 9:15.
Heb 9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
