The scripture in Daniel is as follows:
7 Seven year periods (49 years) = To Restore and rebuild Jerusalem
62 seven year periods (434 years) = At the end of the sixty nine seven year period, the Messiah was cut off (Christ crucified)
The Lord was not cut off in the middle of the last seven year period, as He was crucified at the end of the sixty ninth seven year period. He is not even a part of the last seven years, which is still future.
"Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’
"Then after the sixty-two sevens the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing."
7 seven year periods to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, followed by 62 seven year periods making it 69 seven year periods, at the end of which the Messiah was cut off.
The last seven years stand separate from the other sixty-nine seven year periods, as it is still future. The Lord was crucified at the end of the sixty ninth seven and prior to the last seven years. Here is the information regarding the last seven years:
"He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."
Who's the 'He' referred to in the scripture above? The answer to that can be found in the preceding verse 26, which is the last person mentioned: "The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary.
Therefore, the 'He' who will confirm the covenant with many for one seven and will put an end to sacrifice and offering and will set up that abomination in the temple which causes the desolation (Israel's fleeing), will be 'the ruler' of the people, which is referring to the antichrist. The reference to 'until the end that is decreed is poured out on him," is referring to his destruction when the Lord returns to the earth to end the age, where he and the false prophet are both cast into the lake of fire alive.
Jesus is not and cannot be the 'He' of the verse, as some have claimed. Jesus doesn't even enter into the last seven years, and that because He was cut off at the end of the sixty ninth seven and before the last seven year period has even begun.
After the church has been caught up and gathered to the Lord, that antichrist will establish his covenant, in part, with Israel. In the middle of that seven years, he will cause the sacrifices and offerings to cease and sets up that abomination within the temple, which tells us, that there is another temple coming, which will be afforded by the antichrist.
