Sorry. It is not what Daniel 9:26 talked about. Look at my previous post explaining this.
Now, with due respect, the error of this type of World Event/History/Josephus type eschatology and interpretations is that it misses the point of scripture completely by keeping their eyes not on the Word/Christ, but on alleged history or events. By straining at a gnat, this system causes Christians to swallow a camel. It is a sad fact that most Christians still tend to this "Historicist type" of interpreting in presuming the fall of Israel took place in AD 70, when the Bible tells us plainly that it was at the cross. They miss the point by listening not to scripture but to ungodly Historian named Josephus. So just as surely as the Judaizers missed the point when Christ said "destroy this Temple and in three days I will rebuild it," Christians miss the point today. Neither let God be the interpreter, instead, they were/are reasoning it out in their own minds and through their own interpretations of historical events. There's nothing really different today than it was then. Nothing New.
Because people have their eyes so firmly on physical history and worldly events, rather than spiritual "biblically verified" events, they don't grasp the significance of the prophesy. The same reason Christians have looked for Keyser, Hitler, the European market, The Pope, Palestine, Israel, Russia Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bush, Saddam, Obama, Trump, and Hamas War, as somehow prophetic. And have been doing so for year after year,
always being proven wrong. Because they look to world history and men
as interpreters instead of Biblical history, the biblical record, and God as interpreters. It is the age-old error of
"unsound hermeneutics" rather than intellect or reason. For example:
Mark 9:11-12
- "And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
- And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought."
It's not that the prophecy was wrong, it was that their "historicist type" interpretation of it was wrong. The moral of the story, you cannot take a historical biblical text from the period in which it was constructed, and try and force a
historical/physical fulfillment based on that text. Just because something in text was stated historically in the Old Testament doesn't mean Elijah would be reincarnated, or a literal/physical city called Babylon was going to either exist, or fall, to fulfill the Biblical prophesy of these things happening. Once we start to practice a sound logical and reasonable system of accepting that "interpretations belonging to God," the Bible opens up exponentially. And we come to see the error of such a historicist (the belief in ongoing historical fulfillment) hermeneutic. Remember, that is why the Judaizers missed the coming of their Messiah. Because they were looking for a historical king that would come and set them free from Roman rule, government and bondage. You will never come to a correct interpretation by applying this biblically historical text from the period in which it was constructed, to the same [type] fulfillment today.
Hope this helps clarify some things.
