So how does the "following year" after the cross line up with what Daniel said?
(Dan 9:26 Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined)
How was the city and sanctuary destroyed in the year after the cross, maybe I'm not following you here?
What end came "with a flood" in AD 33?
(Dan 9:24 “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.)
If we honor Daniel's statements then the "decreed" time included the war of AD 66-70 and the destruction of the city as per 9:26
The physical destruction of Israel isn't on the list of Daniel 9:24.
70 weeks were determined upon thy people and thy city TO... do everything that follows in that verse. When those things were done, Israel as God's people were done. God gave them 40 years of hearing the gospel to repent and they would not. Then after God closed the door on mercy, Jerusalem was destroyed.
If you want to see how it went down, look at Jonah 3 and replace Jonah's name with Jesus and Nineveh's name with Jerusalem.
Jon 3:2 Arise, go unto Nineveh (Jerusalem), that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
Jon 3:3 So Jonah (Jesus) arose, and went unto Nineveh (Jerusalem), according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh (Jerusalem) was an exceeding great city of three days (three days in hell) journey.
Jon 3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he (Jesus) cried, and said,
Yet forty days, and Nineveh (Jerusalem) shall be overthrown.
Everything wont match perfectly because it's a foreshadow but hopefully you see my point.
