Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with them for one
week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease. And for the overspreading of abominations
he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
We
are still waiting for the events that must take place within the 70th week to occur.
Remember, the six purposes listed
in Daniel 9:24 will find their consummation within the 70th week.
We are currently living in the parenthesis between
the 69th and 70th weeks.
The Prince "that shall come" who was mentioned in Daniel 9:26 is not the same one who will
"confirm the covenant with many" in verse 27 (although he was a type of the man of sin and did many of the things we are
told the man of sin will do)
Verse 27 of Daniel chapter nine refers to the overspreading of abominations and the desolation
this man will cause.
This is same as the "abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel" that Jesus is
referring to in his famous Matthew 24 discourse where he warns about the "great tribulation." (Matthew 24:15-22)
Daniel
placed the events of this horrible time period within the 70th week, and Jesus referred to Daniel's prophecy and gave it the
name we most commonly know it by - The Great Tribulation.
