I don't think you addressed Daniel 9:27, the second half of the 7 years.

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

What is the "it" that will be made desolate during that second half of the 7 years ? What are the abominations ? What marks the end of the 7 year 70th week ?
Your interpretation of eschatology is waaaayyyyyy of the mark Douggg. You are barking up a tree of your own construction. You miss Jesus. This is why you don't understand this prophecy.....and you wont if you stick to your interpretation.

It is an abomination to turn Gods Gift into a message that God demands blood before he forgives.....including all the hoops one needs to jump through to access that forgiveness.

You did not answer any of the questions I asked, regarding what is in the text of Daniel 9:27, the second half of the seven years, in my post #80.

Consider the context. Gabriel is answering Daniels prayer. His prayer is recorded in Daniel 9:1-19
Daniel is basically asking, how much longer have we (Israel) got. He's wanting to find out because in his search of Jeremiah's writings discovers that Jeremiah foretold 70yrs of captivity....which is now nearing its fulfilment.
Gabriel comes in response and gives him a far greater answer than he was expecting. Time wise, Gabriel reaches right to the end of Israel's role (time) as God's representative to the nations.

Israel kills their Messiah and even then the message of salvation goes exclusively to Israel for another 3.5 yrs. After the stoning of Stephan, they have finally rejected not only the Messiah but now his messengers. Their time is done. Now the Gospel goes to the Gentiles. The seventy weeks of years (70x7 = 490 years) prophecy is fulfilled. God has confirmed his covenant with humanity in Jesus.
There doesn't appear to be any scriptural proof that the stoning of Stephen was 3.5 years from the death of Jesus.

You cannot hear because your ears are closed.

Simply argue the point from scripture.
