Jesus is physically on earth as the Prince to come. That is when the 70th week is finished.
"He shall confirm the covenant with many for one week" to you means He must do it in Person.
Hebrews 2:3 KJV plainly says New Covenant salvation was "confirmed to us (Apostles) by them that heard Him (disciples) after it "began to be spoken ("confirmed") by the Lord" in Person.
You put all your trust in the Catholic church, and none in what John actually wrote.
Jesuit Futurism arose from Jesuit "scholarship" - not Scripture. The ECFs were all Historicist.
God is going to destroy life on earth as we know it at the Second Coming, but that is not the end. There is a thousand years left with Jesus physically on the earth.
Sorry, the thousand years on Earth is the coming darkness and desolation which the Bible declares will be but Jesuit Futurists deny by the fact their interpretation always has activity happening down here on Earth.
Satan is the 8th kingdom, not mankind. Satan is the dragon, not mankind. Man has just been riding along with Satan since Babylon. But when Satan is actually in control, the whole world will know who Satan is, and he is not the pope.
The 8th (papacy) is "of the seven" meaning it incorporates all the qualities of the 7, including (1) Babylon's sun worship, (2) MP's encyclical-ism, (3) Greece's humanism, (4) Rome's ecumenicalism, (5) the papacy's own "dunghill of decretals", (6) Bottomless Pit Beast's occultism, and (7) Apostate Protestantism's coming "church/state" union Image that mirrors their own.
John wrote these future 10 kings have no kingdom, so they are not any of the nations we currently recognize.
Yes, because from John's perspective, they were still future. Did you not read the link where it shows the ECFs held that the 10 horns of Daniel and the 10 horns of Revelation were the same? The ECFs were HISTORICIST, not Jesuit Futurist:
I continually hear that the early church fathers were all futurists with only vague references, there is nothing vague in what our author reveals here: .1. The Fathers interpreted the four wild bea…

Your interpretation of the 7th Trumpet is so far removed from the Word of God.
It's spot on with the Word of God's prophetic timeline which has the Churches, Seals, and Trumpets paralleling each other.
The 6th Trumpet was fulfilled in history with the "Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755" and the "Dark Day and Blood Red Moon of 1780" (unlike all the modern "blood moon" hysteria which are not "signs" but are scientifically accounted) has remained inexplicable to this day, and the "Falling Stars of 1833" which was an inexplicable meteor shower originating from one point in the sky and spreading outward.
The 7th Trumpet began blowing in 1844, when the 6th Trumpet, 6th Seal, and 6th Church periods expired.
Even most other posters, erroneously interpret Paul and the 7th Trumpet as being the actual Second Coming, not hundreds of years prior to the Second Coming.
Most posters need to realize that the "last trump" is not the 7th Trump - because an angel blows the 7th trumpet, but GOD BLOWS THE TRUMP OF GOD, according to Zechariah 9:14 KJV.
The ten horns have power one hour with the beast
Yes, the Ten Horns reigned alongside the papacy during the Dark Ages, with the papacy as the spiritual head of Christian and Secular affairs (church/state union).
The 6th kingdom that "is not, yet is" is the papacy operating behind Bottomless Pit Beast occult secret societies which control you, which is why you are blinded to the truth. I mean, how blind can people be to not see the Sabbath is the 7th day, not Sunday?
Nothing in there that Rome and the papacy would still have governmental authority after the Reformation.
"IS NOT, YET IS" - the papacy appeared to be "wounded to death" but it was not. When Napoleon dissolved the papacy, the papacy still remained behind the scenes pulling the levers of power via a network of satanic secret socieites that are still with us today, banning some to throw off you off the track, but when you read the writings of these society leaders, it's PAPAL SYMPATHIES the whole way around.
The church would come out of great tribulation, and has for 1994 years. But Daniel literally told Nebuchadnezzar that the church would totally wipe out these first 5 kingdoms and fill the earth, but was not supposed to be a one world governmental dictator. Jesus never said one had to live for thousands of years. Each generation would have to be faithful until they finished their task on the earth, and not give in, in their last days, even at the point of martyrdom.
The church fled into the wilderness in 538 A.D. and came out in 1798 A.D. when the greatest end times evangelistic push took place, launched in North America thanks the to the "Great Religious Awakening" of the 6th Trumpet.
Jesus said that after the Second Coming would many be physically gathered in Jerusalem for judgment, while still in Adam's dead corruptible flesh. So there is time after the Second Coming, not this remote judgment for hundreds of years you erroneously teach.
"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:"
I told you He's now our High Priest, but when the Day of Atonement "cleansing of the sanctuary" is done, He will exit the sanctuary, strike off His priestly garments, don His kingly robes, and come for us as King on His throne.
How can people who are wholly ignorant of the OT sanctuary service hope to understand Daniel and Revelation, when both are fraught with SANCTUARY symbolism?
Jesus was physically on the earth as Messiah for 3.5 years from baptism to the Cross, then was cut off for the Gospel's sake. As Prince to Come, Jesus as King will physically be on the earth for the last half of the 70th week.
You're just making it up as you go. The 70 Weeks are "amputated" for "thy people and thy holy city" which does include the coming of Messiah but no where says Messiah must be on Earth for the entire 70 Weeks to fulfill.
Found any other Numerically Specific Time Prophecies which insert gaps yet?
The 70th week is Jesus. You may not like a gap, but "being cut off", certainly indicates a gap of time, as the "Prince to come" is after the "cut off" part.
After you return from your noon lunch hour at 2, tell your boss there's a "one hour gap" between 12:59 and 1:00 and see how well that flies.
At least Jesus as the 70th week is implied in Daniel 9, not some 2300 years.
The 70 are explicit and the 2300 begin at the same time as the 70 because the 70 are "amputated" from the 2300, the only possible time period from which the 70 can be - contextually and antecedently.
The day year principle is not necessary in Daniel 9, because in the Hebrew, neither the terms "day" nor "year" are explicitly expressed. The term "week" is used which can be a set of 7 years or 7 days depending on context.
Now that's just silly. 70 Weeks are 490 days, which means they have to be years in order for the 457 B.C. decree to reach down to the time of the first advent of Jesus.
God is saying I gave you 70 years to cool off, now I am giving you 70 weeks until I visit you and restore you completely.
No, God said, "Look, I'm returning you to Israel from Babylon and giving you 490 years probation to get your stuff together and get busy announcing the soon arrival of the Messiah". They blew it, the Gospel now belongs to "the Israel of God" - the church - and as for them, "wrath has come upon them to the uttermost".
If you refuse to see that is when the church expanded like wild fire, that is your historical blindness, with your head in the sand of papacy as some existential threat. John said 5 have fallen. They do not relate to anything written in Revelation, past an historical nod, as having happened already. You can call the ten toes whatever you want. How Europe portrayed itself in the 16th century is no longer relevant today.
If you refuse to turn from Jesuit Futurist nonsense, you will fall victim to the Mark of the (papal) Beast, friend.
