In verse 26 is says, "And after sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the people (of the Ruler (Messiah) who shall come) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And the end of it shall be with the flood, and ruins are determined, until the end shall be war."
The fact that it was said that the ruler who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary means that this can be taken to mean 40 years later, or (if you really want to go crazy), 2,000 years later.
I highlighted the grammatical structure of the sentence to clear up any misunderstanding.
"And
after sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the
people (of the Ruler (Messiah) who shall come)
shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
Verse 25-27
"Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto (the Messiah the Prince) Jesus Christ, shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall (Messiah) Jesus Christ, be cut off, but not for himself: and the people [of the (prince) Jesus Christ,
that shall come *twice*] 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.
27 And (he) Jesus Christ
*as Prince the second time*, shall confirm the covenant with many for one week"
Those 6 promises can only be fulfilled by Christ. Christ is Messiah the annointed one and Lord, Prince, Ruler. The first time Jesus comes as Messiah. The Second Coming as Prince, Ruler.
Matthew 25:31
"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:"
Daniel 9:27 is the sounding of the 7th Trumpet: Revelation 10:5-7
"And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
But in the days of the voice of the
seventh angel, when
he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
What was declared to Daniel in Daniel 9:27, that would be fulfilled by Jesus Christ at the Second Coming? It is not cut and paste. It is fulfilled prophecy. The 7th Trumpet signals the confirmation of the Covenant. The 7th Trumpet celebration is a week of days. It starts as all kingdoms being handed over to Christ. However the confirmation of the Covenant, leads to an interruption in the midst of the week. It is this interruption that leads to 42 months of desolation.
