Daniel 9:27 is about Messiah the Prince and the New Covenant, which you and others deny has taken place already, hence is why I call that doctrine heresy. Deny the 70th week as being fulfilled, you also deny Messiah crucified in the middle of that 70th week as being fulfilled, and thereby also denying the bringing in of the New Testament. But we have had this discussion before.
The "He" in Daniel 9:27 cannot be Jesus Christ and that for a couple of good reasons. The "He" in the scripture does 3 three things:
1). He makes a covenant with many for one 'seven' (seven years)
2). He puts a stop to the sacrifice and offerings in the middle of the seven years
3). Also, in the middle of the seven, he sets up an abomination that causes desolation
Now, you might be able to get away with the first two as Jesus being the one performing them, but when it comes to the setting up of the abomination, it wipes out any possibility of the "He" in the verse as being the Lord Jesus. And the reason for this is that, the word "Bdelugma" translated "abomination" is defined as:
==========================================================
"to reek with stench") – properly, what emits a foul odor and hence is disgustingly abhorrent (abominable, detestable); (figuratively) moral horror as a stench to God (like when people refuse to hear and obey His voice).
==========================================================
The setting of the abomination in the holy place is against God and therefore because of that reason, if Jesus was the "He" in the verse performing #1 and #2 in the list above, then he would also have to be the one who is performing #3, which is impossible and that because, by setting the abomination in the holy place, Jesus would be blaspheming God the Father and himself. Therefore, Jesus cannot be the "He" of Dan.9:27. Please consider the following as scriptural proof that Jesus is not the "He" of Dan.9:27:
"So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again."
In the scripture above, Jesus is quoting Dan.9:27 in regards to the setting up of the abomination. The language here would suggest that Jesus is not speaking of himself as the one who is setting up the abomination, but is warning those in Jerusalem/Judea who will be here at that time, to flee out into the wilderness when that event happens. Jesus certainly would not be setting up the abomination in the holy place within the temple. And if Jesus was the one setting up the abomination, why would he be warning those in Judea to flee?
The desolation (Judea fleeing) which is caused by the setting up of that abomination, is also spoken of in Rev.12:6,14. The "woman" of Rev.12:6,14 --which is symbolic representing Israel -- flees out into the wilderness to that place prepared for her by God during that 3 1/2 years. While she fleeing, the dragon sends a flood (army) after the woman/Israel, but God up opens up the earth and helps the woman by swallowing the flood protecting the woman/Israel (Remember Dathan and Korah). That being said, how could Jesus be the one causing the desolation and God be the one protecting her from the dragon?
The answer is that, Jesus is not the one in view in Dan.9:27. The "He" in the verse, is the last person that was spoken of which is found in Dan.9:26 "the ruler" of the people, referring to that future antichrist, who will make the covenant with Israel only to break it by causing the sacrifice and offerings to cease and "he" will set up that abomination in holy place within the temple. This alerts Israel that this man is not their Messiah, which causes them to flee out into the wilderness where God will already have a place prepared for them.
The main truth that you cannot get away from here is that, there is only one person mentioned in Dan.9:27, therefore if you have Jesus as the one who is making the covenant and causing the sacrifice and offerings to cease, then he also has to be the one who is setting up the abomination and that is where your claim of Jesus being in view fails and that because there is no way that Jesus is going to set up the abomination.
God left off with the fulfillment of that last seven years when the Anointed One was cut off (Christ crucified), because it was meant to be fulfilled in the future. Jesus has been building his Church and once the Church has been completed, then Jesus will gather the dead and the living in him and then that last seven years will commence, when that ruler makes his seven year covenant and which also initiates God's wrath with the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments.
