I guess it comes down to if you think verse 26 and 27 are talking about the same event or not and if the "He" in verse 27 is referring to the Messiah or the "prince that shall come"
Personally I believe its talking about Jesus who confirmed the new covenant for a week and in the midst of the 70th week was cut off and that caused the sacrifice and the oblation to cease and because of the overspreading of abominations He allowed the temple and the people desolate until the Consummation of the bethrothal (or the wedding feast) which redeemed the desolate people and recoiled them with God. which is spoken of in Revelation 19
I believe that verses 26 and 27 are speaking about the same set of events.
However I do see the other side and it would make sense if you believed that God promised an Earthly Kingdom before the establishment of the NEW Earth and NEW Heaven, but I don't think there is scripture that truly support that notion. Most of what I read talks about Jesus having a SPIRITUAL Kingdom until the destruction of this world after the final judgement after Satan is released and has his last chance to deceive the nations after he was first bound after the wedding feast and the battle where the false prophet and beast were thrown in to the fire.
whether you think the battle between the false prophet, beast, their armies and Jesus is past, present or future. Satan will still have another battle after that one and it is not until then that this wicked world is destroyed and the NEW Jerusalem comes down from Heaven. The NEW Jerusalem is the blessed city, not a city built by the hands of men but by the hands of GOD Himself made up of His chosen people., redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

1. When did this happen?
2. Is Not Gods new covenant eternal in nature, and not just a week
3. Was not this covenant made to ALL (even though not all will have access to it) and not "the many"
