Jesus references the abomination of desolation that Daniel wrote about in 9:27. That's not an assumption.
I didnt say it was. You should read what I write. I said I wanted to discuss the text in Daniel 9 that Jesus quotes. You try to define the Daniel 9 passage by injecting passages in Revelation and 2 Thessalonians. Why? Why is it impossible for you to simply examine one text and come to a conclusion about that text from the passage itself? Why do we have to jump to Paul and John and Revelation to understand what Daniel wrote in Daniel 9? Is Daniel's vision unintelligible without mashing 5 other texts together to define it? The way we should understand Scripture is to understand what Daniel was saying and then look at what Jesus was saying based on understanding Daniel's message within its own context. I assure you, Daniel was not writing to his people in the 500s BC to inform them about an Antichrist and a 7 year tribulation that would show up over 2,500 years later. Nor is that what Jesus was trying to communicate when he quoted Daniel.
I know. That's the beauty of your school of exegesis; you can draw any relationship you want. Which is how you can say: "The crucifixion and subsequent sacrifices was the abomination which causes desolation."
My school of exegesis looks at the actual passages and draws conclusions from what they actually say...rather than having Darby construct a massive Biblical puzzle that must be crammed together in the proper order to unlock future predictions about America, Israel and the end of the world. So, based on my school of exegesis, lets look at the actual text in Daniel 9...
““Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.
Here we see the purpose of the 70 weeks prediction. To bring an end to sin, atonement, bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal/confirm vision and prophet...as well as to anoint a most holy place. Hmm, so what event in history put an end to sin, brought about atonement and everlasting righteousness, confirmed God's promises through the prophets and anoint a dwelling place for God? Maybe the cross?
- The cross brought an end to transgression and the law.
-The cross conquered sin and death.
-The cross brought atonement
-The cross established everlasting righteousness for those who believed
-The cross cleanses us so we can receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit (the NT tells us God never desired to dwell in buildings of stone, but in hearts of flesh!)
Well, its just a theory, lets see if the vision actually bears this out...
Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time.
Just a little prediction here by the angel that a decree would go out to rebuild Jerusalem and 7 weeks (49 years) later the city would be built with squares and a moat, but in a troubled time (we read about this in Nehemiah).
And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing.
Another 62 weeks would pass and the Anointed one would come. He would be cut off and have nothing. I believe John tells us something like, "he came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him." Seems to fit.
And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed.
The people (Jews) of the prince to come (Jesus) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. That is exactly what happened. The Jews brought destruction on their own city by their rejection of Jesus and the crucifixion. Jesus comments on this multiple times in Matthew 21-22 when he tells parables about how the servants of the vineyard kill the son and bring the wrath of the vineyard owner who comes and kills them and burns down their city. Because of their actions, God decreed desolations on Jerusalem and the Temple.
And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering.
Jesus made a strong covenant with many for one week and for half of the week (3.5 years) he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. Jesus began his ministry which lasted 3.5 years. After 3.5 years, he was crucified and that sacrifice put an end to sacrifice and offering (as we read very clearly in Hebrews).
And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”” (Daniel 9:24–27, ESV)
Some translations render this section as follows: ":And one who causes desolation will come upon the pinnacle of the abominable temple, until the end that is decreed is poured out on the desolated city."
The Lord brings judgment on the temple which has become and abomination until the city and its temple is laid waste as promised by the Lord.
That marks the end of the 70 weeks. No talk of another rebuilt temple or Antichrists or thousands of years of gap between the arrival of the Anointed one and this Antichrist. No talk of the Antichrist setting up worship for himself, etc. The vision points to Jesus, the new covenant and the destruction of the temple and the city because the people rejected the Anointed one and offered abominable sacrifices to God in the temple.
