Read: Daniel 9:25-27 Title: And he shall confirm (DANIEL ARGUES AGAINST THE PRE-TRIBULATION, PRE-WRATH RAPTURE THEORIES) The modern mainstream interpretation of (Dan. 9:25-27) hinges primarily on the anti-Christ, when the traditional view of the first part or (v.27) points to Messiah. The word confirm in (v.27) is the Hebrew word gabar (H1396), which literally means to put strength to something existing. Obviously, only God had a prior covenant with the Jews, and was confirmed by the Lord Jesus during his 3 1/2-year ministry which culminated in his sacrificial death on the cross, and also signalled the end of the law and the sacrificial system of the temple; although there was maintained, after the veil to the holy of holies had been torn in two, animal sacrifices that were already an abomination to God. (v.27b, will destroy) destruction of the temple in AD 70. (The remaining 3 1/2 years?) Points to 3 1/2 years of tribulation before the Parousia, the bodily return of the Lord Jesus at the end of this age. Addendum: An literal temple has to be in existence for these verses to go the way of an anti-Christ interpretation. At present there is none, and no temple will be built for two main reasons (and there could be more): The priesthood has been abolished, and we are now the temple of God.
