I agree sacrifices continued for another 40 years, but after the death of Christ those sacrifices were not required by God.
does not matter, The prophesy says the sacrifice ceased because of the abomination which makes desolate. which made the inner sanctum unclean. Not because of the messiah being cut off. that occured at the end of the 69th week.
Also Paul said that Christ did confirm the covenant already in place.
Gal 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Gal 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
um, according to this passage, the covenant confirmed was the law.. This is true, the law was made perfect in Christ.
But you have a problem. the sacrifices were stopped 3 1/2 years after the confirmed covenant. (which if it was christ, he confirmed or erfected the mosaic covenant on the cross) by the abomination which makes desolate.
your timeline does not fit. I can't see it.
