Many of the prophecy discussions center on the correct interpretation of Dan. 9:24-27.
Let’s take a look at verse 24. When this is fulfilled every single item listed must be accomplished. As you will see 70AD doesn’t cut it.
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people (Israel) and upon thy holy city (Jerusalem),
to finish the transgression - This word (H6588) is speaking of the transgression at a “national level”. The only time this will be fulfilled is when Zech. 12:10 is - “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.”To complete this Israel must repent at a national level and this has not been done!
and to make an end of sins, - Can anybody can just look around and say, “nope, no sinning going on around here”? No, you can’t and that won’t happen until the millennium
and to make reconciliation for iniquity, - Yes, this was accomplished on the cross.
and to bring in everlasting righteousness, - Has everlasting righteousness come to Israel as a nation? No, it has not and no the church has NOT replaced Israel and no, God’s not done w/ national Israel yet, as the scriptures abundantly point out.
and to seal up the vision and prophecy, - Has this been done? Most scholars date the Gospel of John and Revelations to have been written around 90-95AD even if one went twenty years earlier after 70AD then Revelatios would be a book of history not a book of prophecy and indeed prophecy that has not yet been fulfilled. If anyone thinks the things of Rev. have been fulfilled they are being blinded by Satan or their own ego! People to day still have visions and speak prophecy, not of a new revelation but a greater understanding of what is already known per Dan. 12:4, so no this has not been fulfilled.
and to anoint the most Holy. - If we believe this is speaking of Jesus than yes this has been fulfilled. There are six prophecies needing to be fulfilled and only two of them have been, so 70AD cannot be the fulfillment of this prophecy! The gap is the “time of the gentiles” and it is still going on, but have no fear the complete fulfillment may occur in our lifetimes!
