The claim that “the prince who is to come” in Daniel 9:26 must refer back to “Messiah the Prince” in verse 25 because “prince” is the nearest antecedent does not hold grammatically. First, Daniel was written in Hebrew, not English, and Hebrew does not require a repeated noun to refer to the...

You didn't even read it or took the time to consider what the verses speak to.. Nothing whatsoever is found in all of Daniel about Epiphanies. And I can assure you, there is absolutely nothing standard in these interpretations - you will not find them in any commentary. I don't believe I will be...

If you do not mind, perhaps we can put 9:27 aside for right now. If we return to chapter 7 I would like to propose something to you for your consideration. And although you do not have to accept my interpretations on these topics, I can assure you that chapter 2, 7, 8, 9 and 11 are all...

Thank you but that is not how I understood the verses in Daniel or in the NT… which is why we are all here discussing these verses. But to discuss all of your interpretations mentioned in that post would require a significant amount of time and attention. Daniel, IMO, is clearly the most...

Well, I have already presented a ton of information regarding this “prince who is to come” … but everyone is entitled to their own interpretations. Nothing wrong with that….

I agree with you that the "prince who is to come" in chapter 9 is indeed the little horn, however, if you want to identify exactly who he is and when he comes you must study chapters 7, 8 and 11. God gives the time markers and the characteristics, attributes (negative) for this individual...

Daniel 9 contains both restorative elements and destructive elements. In Daniel 9:24–25, we find the restorative side of the prophecy. Verse 24 gives the spiritual and redemptive restoration: to finish transgression, make an end of sins, make reconciliation for iniquity, bring in everlasting...

I understand the spiritual point you are making, and I agree that the New Testament reveals a deeper reality beyond the physical temple and earthly Jerusalem. Christ is the true Temple. Hebrews speaks of the heavenly Jerusalem. Revelation speaks of the New Jerusalem. Jesus said the kingdom would...

The typical premillennial view usually takes the “prince who is to come” in verse 26 and then makes the “he” of verse 27 an end-time Antichrist who confirms a future covenant. That is not what I am arguing. I believe Daniel 9:27 is fulfilled by Messiah. Christ confirms the covenant with many...

I understand your grammatical point, but the issue is not settled by saying Messiah is the nearest named Prince in verse 25. Daniel 9:26 gives us more information than simply the word “prince.” It says, “the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.”...

I believe you are relying heavily on the nearest noun argument: Daniel 9:25 says “Messiah the Prince.” Daniel 9:26 says “the people of the prince who is to come.” Therefore, he says, the “prince” in 9:26 must be Messiah. But Daniel 9:26 itself gives more information than merely the nearest...

Daniel 9:26 identifies the destroying people. And the destroying people, in history, were Roman. Daniel 9:25 says “Messiah the Prince.” But Daniel 9:26 does not say “Messiah the Prince.” It says “the people of the prince who is to come.” If Daniel intended simply to say “Messiah’s people,” the...

I agree with you that Messiah the Prince alone fulfills Daniel 9:27. I am not arguing that the apostate papacy fulfills Daniel 9:27. The one who confirms the covenant with many, and who causes sacrifice and oblation to cease in the midst of the week, is Messiah. Christ confirms the covenant...

I agree that Scripture often shows God delaying judgment until sin reaches its full measure. Genesis 15:16 is a clear example: the iniquity of the Amorites was not yet full. Amos also shows that repeated transgression accumulates until judgment can no longer be delayed. So I do not reject that...

The phrase “the people of the prince who is to come” in Daniel 9:26 gives us both an historical event and a prophetic identity. Daniel is told that after Messiah is cut off, “the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.” The order is important. First...

It appears to be a meaningful forty-year span between the cross of Christ and the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. After Israel’s leaders rejected the Messiah and delivered Him to be crucified, God did not immediately bring judgment upon the city or the temple. Instead, in mercy, He allowed a...

The following discussion should be considered in connection with the phrase “the end of it shall be with a flood” found in the Daniel 9:26 section of the commentary. The end of it shall be with a flood This phrase carries forward the judgment announced in the previous line. In its historical...

Part 2. 4) “The People of the Prince Who Is to Come” — Daniel 9:26 Now we reach the controversial phrase: “the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary…” (v.26) This is the only other place in Daniel 9 where the Hebrew title nagiyd appears besides verse 25...

The following discussion should be considered in connection with the phrase “and the people of the prince who is to come,” found in the Daniel 9:26 section of the commentary. Part 1. And the people of the prince who is to come This brief yet weighty phrase— “the people of the prince who is...
