But a
Roman authority did set foot in the temple,
through whom popes came.
They are all related, through Rome, the fourth kingdom of Daniel that would still exist even until the coming of Christ, because it now corresponds to the pope. The time of the Gentiles has and is already happening, for the 42 months in Revelation is yet
another timeline speaking of those who trampled Jerusalem, which was those who built the Dome of the Rock over the temple site, and then lost control over the city around 1,260 years later when the Jews retook control of the city, thus fulfilling the 42 month timeline, and that Dome of the Rock will be in the outer court next to the third temple that will be built in accordance to the vision of this prophecy.
Next, when Christ shed his blood,
he brought an end to sin, in fulfillment of the prophecy that spoke of him, the 70 weeks prophecy,
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy set-apart city, to
finish the transgression, and
to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and
to bring in aeonial righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and
to anoint the most set-apart. (Daniel 9:24 [MODIFIED-KJV])
Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But
he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the aeons* to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. (Hebrews 9:26 [MODIFIED-NIV])*

Hebrews 9:26
Which the blood of animals was never able to accomplish,
This was a symbol for the time then present, when
gifts and sacrifices were offered that could not perfect the conscience of the worshiper. (Hebrews 9:9 [NETBIBLE])
For
it is impossible for the blood of bulls and of he-goats to remove sins. (Hebrews 10:4 [ABP])
Which is why whoever is set apart by the spirit of God
cannot sin, because through the blood of Christ and through belief in Christ, one is then "freed from sin" and "circumcised in the heart", which means putting off the sinful nature, which happens when a believer truly receives the spirit of God, which not many do,
In Him
you were also circumcised in the putting off of your sinful nature… (Colossians 2:11 [BSB])
No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and
circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God. (Romans 2:29 [NIV])
And
I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. (Ezekiel 36:27 [ESV])
in order
that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh
but according to the Spirit. (Romans 8:4 [NIV])
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
becoming set apart of the Spirit, for obedience to Yeshua Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. (1 Peter 1:2 [MODIFIED-ESV])
But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Master, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved,
through becoming set apart by the Spirit and belief in the truth. (2 Thessalonians 2:13 [MODIFIED-ESV])
We know that
every one being engendered of God does not sin; but the one engendered of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. (I John 5:18 [ABP])
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and
he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (1 John 3:9 [KJV])
But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— (Romans 3:21 [ESV])
You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. (Romans 6:18 [NIV])
But now, having been set free from sin, and having become servants of Elohim, you have your fruit resulting in set-apartness, and the end, aeonial* life. (Romans 6:22 [MODIFIED-TS2009])*

For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,
that we should no longer be slaves to sin– because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. (Romans 6:6-7 [NIV])
