This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

He didn't blow anything. The anointing (consecration) of Christ simply wasn't the anointing prophesied. That won't come until after Armageddon.
Aside from what you think was prophesied,

Do you believe that God's anointing of His Son was greater than His anointing of David, or less great than His anointing of David?

Yourself and @Trekson should swap for a while.

Let Trekson take the abomination of desolation IN THE HOLY PLACE, and IGNORING

(a) the word "THEREFORE"; and
(b) the context of what Jesus was saying about the trubulation the living stones of the New Testament Temple will experience at the end of the age FOLLOWING the birth-pain signs,

let Trekson cut the abomination of desolation in the holy place out from its context given by Jesus, and paste it instead into a time-period nearly 1.930 years earlier - AD 70.

The you take the 70th week of Daniel, and IGNORING

(a) the word "AFTER"; and
(b) the context of what Daniel was saying about what the Messiah would accomplish within 70 weeks commencing from the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem,

you cut the 70th week of Daniel out from its context given by Daniel, and paste it into the final seven years of this age leading up to the return of Christ.

Both of you should feel comfortable swapping and doing that for a while, because you are both used to doing that, each with your own respective passages of scripture.

Who knows - maybe you will realize your intellectual hypocrisy and dishonesty with texts of scripture, and who knows - maybe it will even cause both of you to stop cutting and pasting!!!

While you're about it, let @covenantee and all those who agree with you swap with Trekson for a while also

- because they all agree that Matthew 24:6-15 is talking about something that will take place in the same century as Luke 21:12-24 BEFORE any of the birth pain signs Jesus gave (Luke 21:12) while ignoring the word "THEREFORE" in Matthew 24:15, as well as the difference between the words "JERUSALEM" in Luke 21:20 and "IN THE HOLY PLACE" in Matthew 24:15, as well as ignoring when, in relation to the birth-pain signs, Jesus said Matthew 24:9-14 would occur.
Sounds to me like you're trying to make connections where there aren't any. In 70ad, Jerusalem wasn't a holy place and since the veil was torn there wasn't a holy place in the temple any more. I put in the context it's written and you take it out of the context, I don't know why. Daniel didn't say anything about what the Messiah would accomplish. You are adding that. Oh, and of course you must ignore the unfortunate reality that the seals of Rev. 6 parallel the signs given in Matt. 24, 25 yrs. "after" 70ad.

Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit at his first coming, so he could attain our redemption and everlasting righteousness in him.
No need for him tp be anointed again in the future.
They are two different anointings. Christ's anointing was a consecration for service. The anointing prophesied in Dan. 9:24 will be an anointing w/ oil as King and Messiah of Israel, just as was done w/ Saul, David and other kings. Dan. 9:24 specifically states that the goals given were for Israel to accomplish. There is nothing in the context that suggests Messiah will do it for them. How, you may ask? Read the OP again.

Dan. 9:24 specifically states that the goals given were for Israel to accomplish.

Doesn't say that.
How can Israel atone for sins? How can they anoint the most Holy place? etc

Heb 9
11 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.
There is nothing in the context that suggests Messiah will do it for them.

Only Jesus could achieve those points.
Salvation / atonement is found in nobody else.

If you read the OP again you can see how and why they do that. The scripture doesn't say "place" in Dan.9:24.

Amen!!
The Bible clearly states that man himself cannot make or be an atonement before God for another man's sins. Therefore for one to think or believe that Dan. 9:24 is to be fulfilled by the so called Jews of "Jerusalem which now is", they are sadly mistaken and are teaching blasphemy.

Second, God didn’t sacrifice Jesus. Rather, Jesus, as God incarnate, sacrificed Himself. No one forced Him. He laid down His life willingly, as He made clear speaking about His life: “No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again” (John 10:18). God the Son sacrificed Himself to God the Father and thereby fulfilled all the requirements of the Law. Unlike the temporary sacrifices, Jesus’ once-for-all-time sacrifice was followed by His resurrection. He laid down His life and took it up again, thereby providing eternal life for all who would ever believe in Him and accept His sacrifice for their sins. He did this out of love for the Father and for all those the Father has given Him (John 6:37–40).

LOL. You expect me to take you seriously when you can't even explain why Jesus said to flee to the mountains even though He specifically stated why that would be the case. Okay then.

You clearly need to be taught the basics of interpretation of the scriptures.

That is hilarious coming from you. Someone who thinks that some people will be resurrected in the future and allowed to roam the earth afterwards rather than appearing before Jesus for the judgment. You are funny.

I see in the thread you created that it took you 8 posts to try to get your false point across. You are obsessed with this topic. I'm not going to give that thread any credibility by replying to any of those 8 posts there. What an incredible waste of time to put all that effort into denying the obvious, which is that Jesus told the disciples that the temple buildings standing at that time would be destroyed and the disciples then asked Him a question about when that would occur. And He answered it by saying it would occur soon after seeing the abomination of desolation stand where it ought not, which would be in the holy place, which would have been understood as the temple grounds (that was still the holy place when Jesus was speaking). Luke explained to his Gentile audience that would not have known anything about the abomination of desolation prophesied by Daniel, that it would be time for those in Judea to flee to the mountains when they saw Jerusalem surrounded by armies. And that's exactly what happened in 70 AD.

You can argue against preterism and its claim that Jesus only talked about things related to 70 AD in the Olivet Discourse all you want because I do the same. But, to deny that Jesus said anything at all related to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple buildings that occurred in 70 AD within the Olivet Discourse is just a case of denying obvious truth. You act as if Jesus thought it was important enough to tell the disciples that the temple buildings would be destroyed, but did not think it was important enough to tell them anything about how they would know it was about to happen so that they would know when to flee in order to avoid being caught up in the destruction of Jerusalem. That makes no sense. Of course, Jesus would have wanted them to know when to flee because that destruction was only meant to be God's wrath against unbelievers.

Nope.

Coming from the person who's obsessed with the temple of stone that existed 2,000 years ago - so obsessed that he isn't able to correctly interpret anything he reads in Matthew 24; Mark 13 and Luke 21.

Anyway I'm done talking to you about it because you are clearly clueless about your own cluelessness and you're a waste of time (that somehow manages to have such a high opinion of itself that it ticks louder than any other clock that's stuck in 70 AD).

Apocalyptic literature by its name rejects all prophecies that are hard to relate to or are unfulfilled. It puts it in the category of fiction at worst or gross over exaggeration at best.
Absolutely untrue

That's an absolute lie. I'm not a preterist. Just because I see a small part of the Olivet Discourse as being about what happened in 70 AD when Jerusalem and the temple buildings were destroyed does not mean I'm obsessed with that topic.

- so obsessed that he isn't able to correctly interpret anything he reads in Matthew 24; Mark 13 and Luke 21.
LOL. You are completely incapable of proving otherwise, as you have proven repeatedly.

Anyway I'm done talking to you about it
Oh no. What shall I do now? LOL.

because you are clearly clueless about your own cluelessness and you're a waste of time (that somehow manages to have such a high opinion of itself that it ticks louder than any other clock that's stuck in 70 AD).
Says the person who thinks that Jesus was unwilling to answer any questions about a shocking prophecy (destruction of the temple buildings) that He revealed to the disciples.

Okay show me something that you think is apocalyptic literature, that was literally fulfilled as described.
LOL. Apocalyptic literature is symbolic, so how could it be fulfilled literally? You need to stop posting for awhile and educate yourself about these things so that you stop making a fool of yourself. Apocalyptic literature such as that found in books like Daniel and Revelation symbolize real events. You are acting as if someone is saying that the book of Revelation is fiction just because they say it is apocalyptic. Stop being so naive and learn what the words apocalyptic and symbolic mean.

You misunderstand. Its absolutely untrue to argue that Christians, who claim that revelation is apocalyptic literature, do so because they reject prophecies or believe it fiction.

There are many Christians that acknowledge the prophecies of Revelation are real, and have been or will be fulfilled while also acknowledging that revelation is categorized as apocalyptic literature.

Never said that, Your straw-man arguments accompany so many of your posts.

Anyway for someone who believes that Jesus's conquering of death and Satan by His death and resurrection will last a thousand years and be reversed for a short time because it bound Satan and made him "incapable of stopping the spread of the gospel" - but only for a thousand years, it's no wonder you can't understand much of what I say.

I see in the thread you created that it took you 8 posts to try to get your false point across. You are obsessed with this topic.

Not as obsessed as you are with the Old Covenant temple of stone being reserved in holiness just enough to meeting the criteria, after 40 years, as a place considered holy enough to be called the holy sanctuary of God that could be defiled by any abomination in it.

What an incredible waste of time to put all that effort into denying the obvious

Then you and you alone can explain why you always put that amount of effort into "wasting your time" wasting your time denying the obvious, which is the fact that the Lord wasn't even talking about the temple of stone when He was telling the living stones of the New Testament Temple on the Mount of Olives all about the tribulation they were to experience.

LoL. He wasn't even talking about the temple of stone that stood on the Temple Mount again - just because they asked Him - once He reached the Mount of Olives.

But you won't read my 8 posts because you don't want to "waste your time".

Never mind, for someone who's so good at "wasting your time" wasting your time (like when you put the amount of effort you put into "wasting your time" when myself or anyone else you regard or have in the past accused of "wasting your time) "wastes your time" (as in your long post I'm replying to here).

Yes, you have said that. Don't lie. You have said that you believe those who did not hear the gospel during their lifetimes will be resurrected and then live on the earth during the thousand years and will hear the gospel then. That contradicts what Jesus said will happen when the dead are resurrected (John 5:28-29).

Anyway for someone who believes that Jesus's conquering of death and Satan by His death and resurrection will last a thousand years and be reversed for a short time because it bound Satan and made him "incapable of stopping the spread of the gospel" - but only for a thousand years, it's no wonder you can't understand much of what I say.
You are very wordy and never succinct. I'm not the only one who has trouble following what you're saying at times.

Not as obsessed as you are with the Old Covenant temple of stone being reserved in holiness just enough to meeting the criteria, after 40 years, as a place considered holy enough to be called the holy sanctuary of God that could be defiled by any abomination in it.
That is not what I claim. Talk about strawman arguments. What a colossal waste of time it is trying to talk to someone as obtuse as you are.

Then you and you alone can explain why you always put that amount of effort into "wasting your time" wasting your time denying the obvious, which is the fact that the Lord wasn't even talking about the temple of stone when He was telling the living stones of the New Testament Temple on the Mount of Olives all about the tribulation they were to experience.
He had just told them that the physical temple buildings standing at that time would be destroyed with no stone left upon another. It's utterly ridiculous to think that He would not be willing to give any kind of details about that after being asked about it.

LoL. He wasn't even talking about the temple of stone that stood on the Temple Mount again - just because they asked Him - once He reached the Mount of Olives.
LOL!!!!!! Just because they asked Him? He is the one who brought up the destruction of the temple buildings in the first place. To think He would not be interested in saying any more about it is ludicrous.

But you won't read my 8 posts because you don't want to "waste your time".
Exactly. It shouldn't take 8 posts to explain the meaning of what Jesus was saying in the Olivet Discourse about the temple. It shows that you are going out of your way to explain away something simple with your convoluted nonsense.

Never mind, for someone who's so good at "wasting your time" wasting your time (like when you put the amount of effort you put into "wasting your time" when myself or anyone else you regard or have in the past accused of "wasting your time) "wastes your time" (as in your long post I'm replying to here).
Just read your own comment here. You speak gibberish.

If it's real, it's not "literature". It's either history or prophecy. I don't think God is pleased w/ the way His word is being considered. Revelation is "falsely" categorized as apocalyptic literature.

Yes, you have said that. Don't lie. You have said that you believe those who did not hear the gospel during their lifetimes will be resurrected and then live on the earth during the thousand years and will hear the gospel then.

You are a liar - but you already believe the lies of Satan which you choose to believe, so I'm not surprised you do what he does.

I never said the words which I made bold and in red above - and what I DID say, I made very clear. I'm not going to repeat it again.

You either just did not bother to read it, or you did read it, and have once again deliberately lied.

But it's not surprising - because you're already deceived by Satan - who has you believing he is currently bound - and your doctrine is already skewed. So this goes beyond you. It's too deep because your understanding of the Word of God is too shallow.

You are already deceived by Satan into believing that God is not able to destroy soul and body in gehennah" when, like Adam, saints turn and choose the lies of Satan and reject the Word of God, so you think we can now be careless, because Jesus has saved us and His blood cleanses us of all sin

- therefore you are already now careless about which lies of Satan you choose to believe and which you don't - as can be seen in your own adherence to your doctrine about Satan.

Yet somehow you believe that following the resurrection you will be incapable of what your doctrinal adherence has already proved you capable of now regarding what you believe about Satan.

At the close of this age there is going to be mass apostasy from the faith - it has already started - and those saints who turn and choose the lies of Satan - will be betraying brothers to death - as Jesus said (and as Judas did). Satan's job is already half way done in the case of those whom he already has convinced that he has been bound all this time.

But you're too full of yourself to believe what sort of danger you're in, that's why you so easily lie about what other saints said.

- and that's why you will merely defend yourself and double-down on your lies and hypocrisy and false doctrine regarding Satan, after this.

And the possibility that your response to this will once again prove what I said above about your lies, is very high.
