"Is there any comments from anyone about the identities of the individuals that are spoken about in Daniel 9:24-27. Are we talking about Christ Jesus or the Antichrist." Hi Puddinhead, Robert and all. Let us read the relevant verses in Daniel once more. 24: Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 25: Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26: And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut of, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;((Clearly the Roman destruction of 70 A.D.)) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 27: And he ((???)) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the 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. --------------------------------- Remember that chapters were introduced in the Bible in the twelve hundreds and verses in 1550. When you look at verses 25 and 26 as a continusous whole and one thought,--as it was originally inspired and written by the Holy Spirit-- you find that Messiah is clearly the suject of these two verses. The prince is clearly the Romans destroying the Temple in 70A.D. and he is not the main subject in these two verses. Also notice that the Messiah will make it desolate "for the overspreading of abominations". The overspreading of abominations was the continuance of the offering of animal sacrifices when Jesus, the Lamb of God, had already been sacrificed once and for all times for the sins of the whole world. This is why Jesus the Messiah brought about both the destruction of Old Testament Temple Judaism as well as the Temple, the genealogies, the Levitical Priesthood, the Aaaronic Priesthood, the Ark of the Covenant, etc. The shadow was obstructing the reality which was Christ. Offering animal sacrifices to God when He had already sacrificed His Son for the sins of all men, was an abomination to God. This abomination caused great confusion to both Christians and nonchristians. Roberts's views are correct. It is Jesus the Messiah who "caused the sacrifice and the oblation to cease." One last thought. Why would Satan or an "Antichrist" want to cause animal sacrifices to stop? Animal sacrifices and any other form of worship except worship "in spirit and in truth" are absurd and totally ineffective after the Sacrifice and the Resurrection of the Lamb of God. All real Christians are interested only in the truth.
