The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

Hi Rex, I'm assuming that post # 17 was directed at me. Your words: "I understand what your saying. Your saying that all Israel will be saved, the blood decendents, that God still owes salvation to the decendents of Abraham and Jacob."

No, that is not what I'm saying at all. God still owes land promises to the descendants of Israel. God always leaves for Himself a righteous remnant among Israel. They will be the 144,000 plus. God doesn't "owe" them salvation, they will achieve it by coming to the knowledge of the truth of the Messiah. The phrase "all of Israel will be saved" is always misunderstood, imo. What this means is that after the time of Jacob's trouble and after the sheep and goat judgment of Matt. 25, all that's left of Israel will be saved, which will be pretty small percentage wise, imo.

Yes I was speaking to you, The land is still an unobtained promise I agree.
And yes many make the mistake that you pointed out, I reiterated it unnecessarily with you, but It still needed to be included in this thread.

Hi Retro, I would respond to your post because I think you're mistaken in many areas, but it's so long I don't have the time. I am working on a response for this post that starts from scratch, so to speak, so I'll probably address many of those issues there. Perhaps you could answer a question for me though. In vs. 27 the phrase, "the covenant" is used. Could this be a translation problem? Would "a" covenant" work in the wording? I think the answer to this may resolve several questions. Sometimes a little word can make a big difference.

I agree, and the same could be said of the 70th not following the 69th, If it didn't mean 70th week then it could not be properly called the 70th week.

If you really want to understand Dan. 9:24-27 then one must drop all their metaphorical thinking, mystical whimsies and thoughts like “well, in a manner of speaking…” and just deal with the cold, hard facts. Dan. 9:24-27: (words in parenthesis mine)

24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people (Israel) and upon thy holy city (Jerusalem), to finish the transgression, (by implication, the national apostasy. Has this been done? No!) and to make an end of sins, (are sins finished? No!) and to make reconciliation for iniquity, (did He make reconciliation for sins? Yes!) and to bring in everlasting righteousness, (Yes, but only in the person of Himself, not to Israel or Jerusalem yet!) and to seal up the vision and prophecy, (vision and prophecy has not been sealed up) and to anoint the most Holy. (This can be taken two ways. Christ was not anointed as King of the Jews by their leadership as Samuel anointed David, nor did He anoint any part of the temple, so this aspect has also not been fulfilled.)

25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem (this was already accomplished before Messiah came) unto the Messiah the Prince 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 be cut off, but not for himself
: (for some reason this is where everyone gets confused. The word “Prince” here is “nagid” and one of the defs. is “captain” and Christ is referred to as the “captain” of our salvation”) (what needs to be understood here is that Christ’s coming as Messiah and His getting “cut off” was just a matter of a few days, not 3 ½ yrs. He didn’t “come” until He fulfilled Zech. 9:9, His triumphal entry, so no part of the 70[sup]th[/sup] week has occurred yet) and the people of the prince ( this word “prince“ isn‘t capitalized so there is no justification to believe it is still talking about Messiah,) ,that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; (if one was to take this as written and believe that it’s still speaking of Christ, who destroyed the city and sanctuary, Christians?? No! ) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war (what war?) desolations are determined.

27 And he (small prince, not Messiah) shall confirm (to prevail over and act insolently towards) the covenant (which covenant?) with many for one week: (seven years) and in the midst of the week (sometime within the seven, it doesn’t have to be the exact middle) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, (again, not Christ because they continued until 70 AD) and for (because of) the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, (complete and total destruction) and that determined (previously decided) shall be poured upon the desolate.”(desolater)

I kind of like the way the NLT translates the latter half of vs. 27: “... And as a climax to all his terrible deeds, he will set up a sacrilegious object (the abomination of desolation) that causes desecration, until the fate decreed for this defiler (a/c) is finally poured out on him.”

Just about every other translation out there seems to acknowledge that in no way is vs. 27 speaking of Christ, but the “desolater” (a/c) and more about him can be found in Dan. 11:21-45. Everyone is correct in that there are two ways to define the word “confirm”. One is the positive affirmation and the other, the negative connotation. We need to ask ourselves a couple of questions. What covenant and what war?
Almost everyone assumes that the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD is depicted in this passage but I’m going to declare it is not! I used to believe it did but as God has led me to reconsider my timeline, He has also started to show me other truths as well, because I asked Him to. No man can “figure” out prophecy on their own. We all need to trust in the HS who will “lead us in all understanding” as Christ promised. We all need to come to these realizations in our own time, however, in no way am I saying, “Aha! God has shown me everything, this is the way it will go down.” God has an (forgive me, Lord) annoying way of just offering trickles of info, when what we want is the whole flood of info, but He probably knows we would be overwhelmed and He knows best, but the waiting is hard! lol!

We can find our answers to both of those questions in Dan. 11. Some believe that all of Dan. 11 is history but I disagree. Dan. 11 is divided into three eras. It begins with tales of Alexander the Great, goes to Antiochus Eppiphanes and ends in vss. 21-45 with events that will occur in the 70[sup]th[/sup] week. In this passage the a/c is the king of the north.

I also used to believe the a/c would make a seven year “treaty/covenant” with Israel based on 9:27. Retro thinks this is the Davidic covenant, others think this is the new covenant but most seem to believe, as I did, that it was a new and different covenant. God has led me to believe differently based on Dan. 11:28-31 - “Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against (the peoples of ?) the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land. 29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter. 30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against (the peoples of?) the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence (show favor) with them that forsake the holy covenant. 31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.”

Vs. 31 aligns itself with Dan. 9:27 pretty smoothly so based on this I stand behind the negative connotation that I gave in the parenthesized meaning of the word “confirm”. The “covenant” is not the new nor the Davidic but it is Sinaitic covenant from Ex. 19:5-8 that he is against. I believe this is the same covenant that Daniel is referencing in 9:4 - “And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments…”

A lot of people also believe the “many” of vs. 27 is the same “many” as found in Dan. 12:2 but obviously this isn’t the case. The “many” here in vs. 27 are simply those who are allied with the a/c. There are just too many factors against Christ being the “he” of vs. 27.

This also has nothing to do with Matt. 23:38 as Retro has suggested, however, their national rejection of Christ is the direct cause for the time gap between the end of the 69[sup]th[/sup] week and the beginning of the 70[sup]th[/sup] week. Christ had to be crucified per God’s plan, however, if immediately afterward Israel would have repented then the 70[sup]th[/sup] week would have continued as prophesied. As a result of their rejection, the 70[sup]th[/sup] week has been delayed and Christ will point out that fact to the righteous remnant and show them that it was because of that rejection and lack of repentance that they have had to suffer for millennia. I’m sure Christ will also point out the words of that generation as recorded in Matt. 27:25 - “Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.” But Retro was right when he said, when Israel is ready to say on a national level Matt. 23:39 - “For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” That the end would come. The end of Dan. 9:26 has this phrase, “and unto the end of the war”. I believe this war is speaking of Armageddon.
　
　
　
　
　

When I look at the outline of the message, I don't see any mention of anti-christ.
I don't see a 7 year tribulation

“Seventy weeks[sup][a][/sup] are determined
For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,
To make an end of sins,
To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the Most Holy.

My understanding of salvation is He completed it. End of sin? no but sin no longer has dominion over me "death will be swallowed up 1 Cor 15:54" But the means has been completed threw Christ Romans 8:1
This does bring everlasting righteousness, we now have the promise of salvation complete and working in us John 14:16

To say that the completed work of Christ was not finished at the cross, is IMO a dangerous statement.
Though the completion, the resurrection of the dead and the mortal putting on immortality is pending, but those that will and have been saved in the complete work of Christ now wait to be clothed in immortality.

Bottom line and my point is Gabriele's outline is completely Messianic as is His message in the NT completely Messianic pointing to salvation, the Messiah, He never delivered a message of anti-christ or a 7 year tribulation. The next place we see him He is the messenger of good news. Because the Jews rejected Him doesn't mean He didn't offer them the completed promise, the finished work making and end to the temple sacrificial system. The veil torn and Glory of God now dwells in man as it was written.
Luke 1:19
Luke 1:26-27

Covenant just when has scripture indicated a covenant be made by the serpents seed Satan or what ever title you choose.

The covenant confirmed for a Week (7 years) was the New Covenant confirmed with many Israelites for a week. As in, Jesus taught for 3.5 years, died, ressurected, His Apostles taught for 3.5 years after, then Stephen was stoned, and all of Israel turned their backs on the Gospel. They exclusively were to reveive the Gospel for those 7 years.

Please provide dates for Jesus' birth, baptism by John, and death/resurrection so we can check against the prophetic record. Please provide date for Stephen's stoning as well for additional checking.

In addition, we'll need specific dates for all the apostles as to when they stopped evangelizing the Jews as well in disobedience to Jesus' command.

Furthermore, perhaps you can tell us who or what the abomination was and what was decreed that was poured out at the end of those seven years on the desolater.

The date of birth alone has been debated for centuries it won't be resolved anytime soon.
I don't nor nether does the bible make clear the time of Stephens stoning, but that being said, in keeping with Daniel the event is plainly evident, that's something the prophesy interpreters around here have no need for, so why would you ask for evidence you don't provide yourself in your revelation?

For example Jesus was seated Mark 16:19 Matthew 22:44 Hebrews 1:3 as I mentioned earlier Mark 1:15 indicates a time being fulfilled that ending the 69th week, and the beginning of the 70th Until the Messiah comes shall be 69 weeks. And the kingdom of God is now at hand Mark 1:15. In acts we see that after being Jesus being seated, Stephen now sees the Lord standing, Acts 7:56-57 IMO marking the end of the last week, the 70th. Of course the next events in Acts are Peters vision and the calling of Saul "Paul" I don't see the need to twist and turn scripture to see the plain chain of events. Stephen was also the first martyr of the disciples

You do know that dispensationalism is only taken firm root since the turn of the 20th century don't you. The displaced 70th week. And if were possible that the very elect be deceived.

By simply using common sense that the 70th week followed the 69th we see a clear trail of evidence to support it has been fulfilled.

Furthermore, perhaps you can tell us who or what the abomination was and what was decreed that was poured out at the end of those seven years on the desolater.desolater.

The prince to come was Titus Prince Titus leading the Roman army to destroy Jerusalem and the temple.

On the wing of abominations "the rejection of Christ" shall come one who makes desolate "Prince Titus"

Notice 26 And the people of the prince to come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Jesus declared the Temple desolit in Matthew 23:38 within the 7 years but it's destruction didn't come until 70 AD-----> SHALL COME ONE who makes it desolate----> literally
The prince of the people WHO IS TO COME -------> shall destroy it.

It would only be proper that the destruction comes after the week of the Messiah, and to the people of Daniel the Jews.

Hi Rex, Your words: “When I look at the outline of the message, I don't see any mention of anti-christ. I don't see a 7 year tribulation.”

The “he” isn’t mentioned as anti-christ but now you’re being purposely stubborn. You have to take all of scripture into consideration. The bringer of the abomination of desolation is known as the a/c, so is the king of the north, the man of lawlessness, the man of sin, the beast of the earth and the list goes on. You need to get out of your mind that gentiles are involved in the fulfillment of this prophecy except for the “he”/a/c. I don’t see a seven year trib either, but I do see an unfulfilled 70[sup]th[/sup] week.

Your words: “My understanding of salvation is He completed it. End of sin? no but sin no longer has dominion over me "death will be swallowed up
1 Cor 15:54" But the means has been completed threw Christ Romans 8:1 This does bring everlasting righteousness, we now have the promise of salvation complete and working in us John 14:16.

Again, this is only concerning Israel and Jerusalem. Don’t fight against the gap, be thankful for it. No gap, no age of grace, no gentile Christianity as we know it.

Your words: “To say that the completed work of Christ was not finished at the cross, is IMO a dangerous statement. Though the completion, the resurrection of the dead and the mortal putting on immortality is pending, but those that will and have been saved in the complete work of Christ now wait to be clothed in immortality.”

This prophecy has nothing to do with individual salvation and everything to do with the salvation and completion of national Israel’s destiny.

Your words, “Bottom line and my point is Gabriele's outline is completely Messianic as is His message in the NT completely Messianic pointing to salvation, the Messiah, He never delivered a message of anti-christ...”

He did, but you’re just refusing to see it. After the point of Messiah being “cut off” in vs.26, the Messiah’s part of this passage is over! The rest is all a/c! Just because you don’t “see it” yet, doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

Your words from a later post: "By simply using common sense that the 70th week followed the 69th we see a clear trail of evidence to support it has been fulfilled."

Sorry to be so blunt but that is a plain out lie. There is zero evidence and common sense sees something different entirely. This is an excellent example of "uncommon" sense, probably brought about by SDA or Messianic brainwashing. No individual person who studies "all" translations to understand the truth would ever come up with that conclusion.

It's hard to post from the phone.

So you have nothing to offer for firm evidence and the Scripture you cite does not say its been done yet you say it is plain and clear. Why should I believe you?

Gabriel lists three things which come after the sixty-two 'sevens' until the end. 1. The cutting off of the Messiah. 2. The destruction of the Temple (A.D. 70) and 3. That wars will continue until the "end."

Then in parallel fashion, Gabriel backs up and retells the detailed events leading up to the end of the one 'seven' as well and spells out one timeframe which has a midpoint. The "gap" is in the text if verse 26; Gabriel put it there. We still have war going on. The one 'seven' has yet to begin.

Your going to have to re-frame your question, I don't fully understand it.
I've laid out what I know to be true. It's very simple and doesn't require pages of explanation. A child could understand.

It's hard to post from the phone.

Titus is not the ruler who will come. He led the people who destroyed the Temple. The ruler who will come is Roman.

I agree Rome

Titus was a prince but as is there is a physical and a spiritual context.

Lets not confuse the two

Threw Nebuchadnezzae's dream we know Rome will last until the end.

The Papacy's power became supreme in Christendom in 538 A.D. due to the letter of Roman Emperor Justinian, which acknowledged the bishop of Rome as the head of all churches. This letter became a part of Justinian's code, the fundamental law of the empire. The Papal power was broken in 1798 A.D. when Napoleon's general, Berthier, took the Pope captive and he died in exile. Notice that the amount of years from 538 A.D. to 1798 A.D. is exactly 1260,

The legalization of Christianity by the Roman government (c. 313 A.D.),
In 380, Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire by the decree of the Emperor,

If you take
313 and 380 and add 1260 years you get
1573 to 1640 AD
what was going on then?

A little misunderstanding called the reformation

What needs to happen in America is our teachers quit being little whores "daughters" of the big whore and quit teaching prophesy about a 7 year tribulation. A displaced 70th week attributed to anti-christ when the proper reading is, its all about Christ.
That passage would be Daniel 9:27
You convince people this is the anti-christ and most prophesy is yet future "7 year trib" and you have effectively destroyed their testimony.

Interestingly enough the Jews at the time of the Messiah, also must have miss interpreted this verse other wise they would have known the time of their visitation by the Messiah. History of the Jews and the same mistake is happening all over again to the Gentiles, to the Nations of the Earth

Wow. The abomination is set in the Temple. Your "history" is not fulfillment.

I forgot about the imaginary temple mr bad guy sits in, that emerges from this miss reading as well.

Temple is described by using two Greek words one indicating a building
The other denotes the dwelling place of the Glory of God.

Now when the temple veil was torn Matthew 27:51 where are we told Gods temple is now?
We are the temple

Check it out for yourself

Their was, has,,,,, and never will a higher abomination than rejecting Christ as the Jewish leaders did.
pigs on alters ect pail in comparison.

I leave to you your house DESOLATE............. the famous last words the Jewish Pharasses heard

Well I see you have it figured out for yourself, but there are always these pesky little details from history and prophecy that dispel your figurative fulfillment and point to a yet unfulfilled literal series of events, and as Jesus, Paul, and John have conveyed the truth - and as even wilder "figurative" prophecy concerning the Servant Messiah had a literal fulfillment I Christ's first Advent, so too can what you call imaginary have a very real result!

Jesus conferred no Covenant at the start of His Ministry; He was not the abomination.
Abomination refers to idol worship, not rejection of God.
The "he" of gabar refers back to the ruler who will come. That is the King of the North.
Rev 11 speaks of a temple, and Jesus said the abomination was associated with the "Holy Place."
Paul said the man of lawlessness would be in the Temple too.
Rev 13 describes the rise of a beast of a man ruling for half if the one 'seven'.
After that, the false prophet erects a talking image of the man - an idol unlike any ib history.
With this great abomination, two laws go into effect which make the Great Tribulation so terrible.
Jesus said this would follow the midpoint and after it would come the Day of the Lord and the gathering..
Likewise in Rev 14, the Harvest follows the talking image and its two laws.

So your Preterist leanings do not match up, but a futuristic, literal fulfillment remains possible.

You do as you wish, Thats your God given right, but don't expect me to get involved in one of yours and others innumerable arguments
There really isn't anything more for me to say about the subject. There are dozens of other interpretative threads take your pick.

I'll leave by simply saying If you don't get 9:27 right you don't have a chance of understanding Rev, and it will effect the way you view the NT as well.

So it should come as no surprise the message from an Angel that stands in the presents of God Luke 1:19
Should be carefully considered, and to error here will have a large impact.

It's going to leave a mark

Luke 1:20

I mean no disrespect at all in this message, but sometimes I may come off very "heavy".

There is no gap in Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy, nor is there ever one mentioned in scripture. It's against sound reasoning, and logic to insert something where there is no proof of it's insertion. And please do not join my reasoning to that of an atheist where in logic in their logic states God cannot exist. You are under the burden of proof to prove that the 70th week did not logically follow the 69th week.

Someone once said this was a conditional prophecy. They had 490 years left to get right with God. Remember when Jonah preached to Ninevah, and said they were to be destroyed in 40 days and nights?

Jonah 3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.

Israel had 490 years left the same way the men and women of Ninevah had 40 days. Each place had their specific time left before God got rid of them. But the men of Ninevah repented, as we know the story. Did Israel repent? No. Therefore, time followed through, logically, and that was it for them as a favored nation status. Just like if Ninevah didn't turn around after those 40 days, they would have been DESTROYED.

This is not to say and Israelite cannot be saved, rather, they have stumbled, and not fallen so that the remnant of Israel can come to the election of grace, and all of Israel shall be saved. Not literally all, but all of TRUE Israel, hence "He is not a jew which is one outwardly, and circumcision of the flesh, but He is a jew which is one inwardly, and circumcision of the heart". Amd contrary to popular belief, the remnant Israelites are supposed to be evangelized and saved, right now. Romans 11:5 tells us that at this PRESENT time there is a remnant left in Israel. Keep in mind, THAT was written about 2000 years ago.

Now, once Israel's 490 years were up, they lost their favored nation status, and their favored protection from God, which is why the people of the Prince later came and destroyed the temple (70 A.D.). It is to continue until the end - meaning the end of the World.

A lot of people think when Romans 11 says that "until the fullness of the gentiles come in" means that Israel will once again entered into their favored nation status. No. Once the time of the gentiles is over, then their blindness shall be over, but so shall every other human beings blindness be over. They shall see the Son of Man "coming in the clouds with great power and glory". Once the time of the gentiles is over - that's the end. It's going to be too late for anyone else. Which is why I stated earlier that Paul said at this PRESENT TIME there is a remnant in Israel. Get the work done for the remnant of Israel, now.

May I preface this remark by saying, first Judah and then Israel, followed by the nations. The Word does not allow you to say "all at once"...after all, the grinding process will take some time before Christ is enthroned in Jerusalem, ruling over a subjugated earth.

I appreciate it’s a technical view but the devil is in the detail “so to speak”.

TGG.
.

I don't know how you can say there isn't a gap in Daniel's prophecy. Gaps occur all the time in prophecy. Isaiah 61:2 has a gap of 2000 years right in the middle of the sentence.

26 After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.

It says AFTER the sixty-two 'sevens' these things happen:
1. The Messiah will be put do death and will have nothing (cut off).
2. The people (of the ruler who will come) will destroy the city and the Temple. That happened 40 years later!
3. Although the end will come like a flood (suddenly and overwhelmingly) - war will continue until the end.

Now those three things happen after the sixty-two 'sevens.'

And the "end" hasn't happened yet.

The end which v.26 mentions is repeated in v.27 with the end of the one 'seven' when those desolations which have been decreed are poured out on the desolater!

War has been a continual state of man's affairs for 2000 years now.
War will continue in the one 'seven.'
War will end in the one 'seven' when Jesus conquers the conqueror of the East and South at Armageddon.

Now I don't know how you can say there isn't a gap in Daniel 9, but I also know you don't allow a gap.
That is because of your eschatology.
So you allow your eschatology to decide how you're going to read prophecy.

Daniel 9:27 = Mt 24:15 = 2Th 2:4 = Rev 13:15-17.
These are all describing the same pinnacle of evil which then provokes God's response, i.e. Dan 12:1 - Mikael arises.
