I love you brother but we've been over this.
Where are you finding a 2,000 year gap taught in Dan 9. Show me please. You already said that the "he" referred back to the "Prince to Come." The Prince whose people brought an end to offering and sacrifice by destroying the Temple was Titus. This already happened. You now want to ignore the event which had only a 37-40 year break, and instead construct a 3rd temple (which isn't taught) with a 2,000+ year break, then imagine the Jews starting back up animal sacrifices, which would outrage the world, then have another future prince come along and destroy the 3rd temple after making a peace treaty which also isn't taught. Why do you ignore the obvious in favor of the absurd?
There is no mention in any other passage of the "AntiChrist", AKA Man of Sin, AKA King of the North making any 7 year peace contract with Israel. You take one sentence, "Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering" and parlay it into some crazy future event with no other supporting scripture. The term, "Abomination of Desolation" isn't even found in Daniel 9 so why do you keep going there?
The second decree went out in 445 BC. This is the correct decree to use. 490 Jewish years equals exactly 483 of our solar years. When we get to 1 BC we go to 1 AD and start climbing. We don't go to 0. When 450.5 Jewish years have passed we'd be at 1 BC and make the change to 1 AD so 2 of our years are skipped. This puts 483 Jewish years right at 30 BC and the appearance of Christ as Messiah. We know that Christ died on April 3, 33 AD which is half way into week 70. So there is no week left over for you.
You have to pay careful attention to the list of things that were to be accomplished during these 70 weeks. Destruction of the city and temple are not on the list. Notice it doesn't say 70 weeks are determined for your city to be rebuilt then destroyed or until you are kicked out again. There is no mention of Titus or a future AntiChrist. They are not on the list of things to be accomplished!!
Look at the below list. Christ accomplishes EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. Daniel's 70 weeks brought about all these things and the Messiah (not some AntiChrist), is the theme of Dan 9.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]“Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city:
1) To finish the transgression,
2) To make an end of sins,
3) To make reconciliation for iniquity,
4) To bring in everlasting righteousness,
5) To seal up vision and prophecy,
6) And to anoint the Most Holy.
All of these things are associated with Christ and/or the Cross.
1) Transgression ended when the Law ended which happened at the Cross. Rom 4:15 because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression. Heb 9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
2) Christ frees us from Sin. Rom 6: [SUP]20 [/SUP]For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. [SUP]21 [/SUP]What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. [SUP]22 [/SUP]But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. [SUP]23 [/SUP]For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
3) Make reconciliation. Rom 5:11: And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. 2 Cor 5:18: Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
4) everlasting righteousness. Rom 5:21: so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
5) seal up vision and prophecy. Rev 5: [SUP]5 [/SUP]But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals...“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood..."
6) anoint the Most Holy. Mrk 14:8: She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. Acts 10:38: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
Can you now see every single item on the list was accomplished??? Please drop this 2,000 year break/AntiChrist thing. It doesn't exist!!
Here's the answer to your question:
"He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven'.
Covenant: league, treaty, contract, etc.
"He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven'.
