It says once again in
Daniel 9:26 that He is cut off after the 69th week, not that He comes after it.
{ It says neither. That is -- it does not actually say either of these ideas expressed in this sentence. ( It actually says something else.
) Which brings me to the point of just how vitally important it is to first have a good understanding of what a Bible verse / passage actually says before trying to determine the meaning of it. }
If He comes after the 69th week
{ He does - see verse 25. ( "69 full weeks" ) } then He would be cut off in the middle of the 70th week
{ He was. }, but the scripture says no such thing.
{ Yes it does. } You are trying to play with words
{ I am not playing with anything. I am trying to get you ( and others ) to see what the passage is actually saying. } to make your theology fit
{ It is your theology that is attempting the 'word games' to "make it fit" - perhaps you just do not realize it yet.
}, but once again a history lesson with taking in the Jewish calendar will show that the first 69 weeks were exactly 483 years.
{ I have no issue with the fact that the first 69 weeks were 483 years. }

Daniel 9:
[SUP]24[/SUP] 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. [SUP]25[/SUP] Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. [SUP]26[/SUP] And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. [SUP]27[/SUP] And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
"Let me know when you understand that the first part of verse 25 is saying that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be 69 weeks - and we can continue..."
