Understanding Daniel 9

And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. 23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. 24Seventy 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. 25Know 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. 26And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 27And 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.

Acknowledgements

Firstly I acknowledge that Jesus Christ (Yahwsha) is the messiah, and that Jerusalem (Yrwshlm) is the city. Jerusalem is the city because it had the temple. The temple protected the ark of the covenant which contained the stones that Moses recieved from God, and the bowl of manna.
So we can know that Jesus was born in December 25th, year 1 BC.
Jesus Christ was baptized at age 30, and that his ministry ended after 3 years since there are 3 festivals mentioned in the Gospels. There was a argument in the early church, about Jesus' ministry being 1 year and him being 50 years old. But that argument is known because it was refuted by the answer that there were 3 years of ministry.
Thus the crucifixion happened around 33AD and the church in Jerusalem started at that same time.

1. A quick read through

There are 70 weeks within which Daniel's people and Jerusalem to:
  • "finish transgression"
  • make an end of sins
  • make reconciliation for iniquity
  • and bring in everlasting righteousness
  • and to seal up the vision and prophesy
  • and anoint the most Holy
This is like it is a summary listing Jesus Christ's accomplishments that He did through His religion according to the Church's testimony of His life.
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to buld Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be 7 weeks, and 62 weeks:
The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Here Jerusalem has been seiged. It can only be restored once war has ceased. Jerusalem was beseiged a number of times in history, before and within Jesus Christ's lifetime. David captured Jerusalem. During the time that Daniel was alive, Babylon had beseiged Jerusalem and captured it. This particular event is described in the book of Lamentations, and by the prophet Jeremiah.
Jeremiah predicted that the people of David's kingdom would be alienated from Jerusalem for 70 years:
Jeremiah 25:11-12
And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. ‘Then it will come to pass, when seventy years are completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will make it a perpetual desolation. So I will bring on that land all My words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations.(For many nations and great kings shall be served by them also; and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the works of their own hands.)’
After those 70 years, Persia allowed the people to return to Jerusalem, with the golden vessels of the temple which had rested in the temple of Babylon's king, and they rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem. See: Ezra and Nehemiah.
Ezra 1:7
Cyrus the king also brought out the vessels of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods.
Ezra 7:19
The vessels that have been given you for the service of the house of your God, you shall deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
Now it is said that Daniel himself was born in 620BC and lived to 538BC according to an Islamic hadith writer.Nehemiah was alive around the time of the Persian Empire's king Artaxerces (Cyrus) in 465BC to 420BC. While Ezra was alive from 480BC to 440BC (perhaps before and after these dates too. Ezra was the son of the last high priest of Jerusalem before Babylon took over.) This means that seventy years prior to the reign of Artaxerces is 595. Thus we can assume, from Babylon owning Jerusalem to Daniel being forced to migrate to Babylon was 5 years. which is not bad, in terms of plausible accuracy, at least... according to wikipedia.

Its road is mentioned. It's wall is mentioned. Everyone should know about ancient cities having walls that circle around them. The very first city described in the Holy Bible, which the Israelites conquered, the city of Jericho had a famous wall. Jerusalem in particular had a series of concentric enclosures, with gates named after things such as a fish, or 'eye of a needle.'
The road too, is famous. Irrespective of the existence of the Roman Empire, there was probably a main highway leading into the city. The text isn't specific in terms of location, and the Roman Empire was famous for building their Roman Highways with bridges that spanned valleys and that burrowed through hills to make flat roads. As Isaiah prophesied earlier in Isaiah 40:4
Isaiah 40:4
"Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth;

Identify Messiah

There are also two names given. The Messiah, and the Prince. In this verse, the Messiah could be the same man as the Prince. In fact, checking the Hebrew version at https://biblehub.com/text/daniel/9-25.htm , Messiah is said to be an adjective which follows the noun Prince, thus the prince is messiah. So from this perspective Jesus is the prince. However Jesus Christ himself said that that prince of this world comes, just before He was arrested and crucified. This word "Meshiah" doesn't have a Hebrew suffix or prefix, as in the book of Leviticus, but it is used in 1 Samuel 24:10
1 Samuel 24:10
Behold, this day your eyes have seen how the LORD gave you today into my hand in the cave. And some told me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, ‘I will not put out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD’s anointed.’
In Hebrew the phrase "he is the LORD's anointed" reads word for word as {"for"-"Messiah"-"Jehovah"-"he is"}

In the Biblical Israelite culture, Messiah were the priests and kings. The priests were ordained as priests with the ritual of Aaron, when olive oil was dripped on Aaron's head, ears, beard and feet. (see, the entire chapter of Leviticus 8.)
Centuries later, when the Israelite people wanted a king to rule their armies, they asked the high priest Samuel. Sanuel trained as a high priest since he was adopted by Eli the previous High Priest. So when Samuel ordained Saul as king, he did the same thing, pouring oil on the young man, turning him into a king. (There is an important lesson here on how ancient cultures learnt their trades in apprenticeships in the caste-tribal inheritance, which explains why Saul lost his crown for offering sacrifices at the wrong time.)
This anointing of oil happened to David too, and it still happens to western European monarchies, such as the British Crown's coronation ceremony.

So we can see how important that word was, it was a word which spoke to the entire backbone of pre-Davidic Israelite culture, the priests. It was God's wish, that Israel be a kingdom of priests. (See Exodus 19:6). Then when Israel was ruled by kings (and not queens) that is how important the word "messiah" was to Israel as it signified the entire kingdom - all the kings.
So perhaps we can see why Messiah Prince makes sense, the last king's son, at the time of Daniel, would have been hoped to return, i assume, as far as guessing what hopes the Israelite people had. Jeremiah's famous paragraph about hope speaks of the polar opposite hope. hope of a future of temporary assimilation into Babylon. But both hopes envision a future where they return to their homeland.

And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;
This says that after 62 weeks, Jesus will be cut off, which is the crucifixion and resurrection. "Not for himself" refers to the redemption. We need a new section to examine this 620 year specific mention.

Redemption


Christians say that it was necessary for Jesus to bear the cross at Jerusalem, for the redemption of humanity. The Jews 2000 years ago had a theme of redemption based on Genesis mentioned here. ( http://legfishaquaponics.blogspot.com/2018/04/five-pairs-of-Genesis-verses.html )
Abraham and Sarah redeemed the blessings of the planet wherewith God blessed it, but Adam and Eve cursed those blessings. Abraham and Sarah served the God of Everything. Abraham and Sarah didn't see themselves separate from their future descendants. Their future descendants include all of Israel, but Abraham was expecting one seed. That one seed is Jesus Christ the eternally resurrected Lord.

So Christians also say that it is by Jesus Christ's blood that we are redeemed. Jews and Europeans think about the ancient old testamant blood, not quite explaining the ethical reasons to not eat an animal that is still bleeding, or sprinkling blood with a fingertip on the ark once a year. (The people protected the temple, and the temple protected the ark. The ark protected the stone tablets. The stone tablets held the commandments of God, as God spoke.)
Moses asked for God to speak to them, because his father-in-law Jethro told him to delegate the job of adjudicating between disputes, all day, to capable people, princes and captains of groups.
But after the Israelites built the gold statue 40 days after God spoke, because they forgot what God said. They couldn't write and study what was said... So Moses had to teach them, to teach everyone about the laws by example. If someone did a crime, they were punished by the whole nation. But thousands of years later, after Israel had grown and developed it's national literacy capabilities, the governments even in Greece and related places had taken to enforcing the even the slightest infringments with death. It was the power of the government to kill in order to punish crimes. They didn't grasp the 7D nature of the laws, or the future-purpose of the laws. Now, we can even consider the philosophical concept of "identity." where Christ is a man, and a man is himself, but a woman is not himself. (see 1 Corinthians 11:3, again to understand properly now with Aristotlean Identity philosophy.) When Adam and Eve cursed the blessings, Eve was cursed to be ruled by her Husband. The word "rule" means to judge (as a Judge judging.) So the gender equality was broken. And maximal inequality occured with in Genesis 6:2 when the men saw themselves as gods compared to the human-women. The flood tried to end them.
When Abraham and Sarah appear in Genesis 12, they are equals by all standards. Equal in blood, equal partners as a married couple. But when Abraham lost patience concerning his promised seed, he 'took' his servant Hagar, and Sarah said that they were separated (See Genesis 16-5). So when Isaac was conceived (by Abraham having sex with Sarah) they were united back as 'one flesh.' As Genesis 4 said about Adam and Eve.
But the male dominance continued, as Jacob was served by 4 wives as he served each with quarter strength. The Kings of Israel continued this, so that even though God of Moses was like a mother eagle to Israel, the king's son as spoken by Nathaniel, would call God "Father."
Thus by the time of Jesus Christ, when the Ceasars were calling themselves sons of God, Jesus was killed for accepting the title which the Roman-Jews called him "son of most blessed." So that with Christians, (atleast in scriptures, where we can ignore roman,european/jew cultures,) gender equality is restored as Christians are sons and daughters of God.
biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+corinthians+6:18;Mark+14:61-62;2+samuel+7:14;Genesis+6:2
Saint Paul's last epistle is the Epistle to the Ephesians. It's miraculous words filled with inspiration from the Holy Spirit's wisdom and teachings. Ephesians verse 1:7 says we are "redeemed by the blood of Christ".

Now we must remember that these are the first generation of Christians, they are the very friends of Jesus Christ, who walked with him, protected him, were his believers, and loved him. They saw his emotions. The crucifixion was a terrible ordeal for the resurrected Lord to have to remember and endure. When he broke bread on Resurrection sunday, he had spent all day glorifying himself through the Scriptures, and then when he broke the bread he vanished. I think he vanished because he didn't want them to see him saddened as he remembered the crucifixion that had happened 3 days earlier. This is why Christians always meet on the Sunday. Anti-christians have all sorts of theories and lies about why Sunday is the day for church. Meeting on Sunday is an apostolic tradition, and that means it comes from the Apostles. "Blood" was a polite way of the disciples talking about the crucifixion of Lord Jesus while also talking about the resurrection of Lord Jesus using only one word "(His) blood."
The Government had arrested Him, the government had tried to usurp the authority of Genesis 1's freedom over His life, and they nailed Him stuck to a cross, as the final constriction of prison's grip, fixing him as a tree to the land. The Government did this, thinking they were right, that they could break laws to fill the citizens with a fear of the law makers. But His blood is what they took from Jesus Christ, becuase Jesus Christ rose from the grave, victoriously freed from the government prison which spelled death for Him, and He victoriously rose in eternal life over death itself. Thus, if we look at the word "redeemed," we understand that there is a ransom to be paid. That ransom amount was His blood. There also needs to be a kidnapper who takes the ransom. The kidnapper is the foreign empire that claims to own the planet, the prison system that condemns a human for their past behaviours. That is what crucified Him. For the Israel, they used to have the eternal God as their leader, and now they were trapped in bondage by the Roman Empire to pay a tax of all agricultural produce to Rome, and assimilate into the Roman culture.
When Jesus Christ was resurrected, He removed the fear from the hearts of Christians, who would otherwise fear being killed by the government if they broke the law. As Isaiah said
Isaiah 28:18
Your covenant with death will be annulled;
your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
you will be beaten down by it.
Here when Isaiah is talking about the "covenant", Israel made a covenant with God to keep all the words of Moses, the laws and statutes, commandments and ordinances. That was the covenant. Here in Jesus Christ's time, we see that the government is killing both political rivals and criminals. Death is the power of the government, and it seems like the government is working for death, since even when they harvest for their taxation system, the number of wood and flesh, must be harvested according to the taxation system's yearly estimate.
When Jesus Christ rose from the grave, and ascended into the clouds in front of His disciples, the disciples who are also called the Apostles, spread their good news, the news that the new covenant has been made with Jesus Christ's own body. Jesus Christ is the man who teaches about eternal life. (eternal = good.) Jesus Christ teaches us how the laws are to be used, if perchance we are caught in the act of judging someone in our era with paper and ink. By forgiving the past, and applying the laws onto the future.
John 8:9-11
At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
“No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
This particular 'utterance' of Jesus Christ is amazing, in my opinion. If ever in the thousands of generations of Christians or Jewish descendants, wanted to know about the laws and how the laws reside in harmony with Jesus Christ's lesson on forgiveness, love and mercy, it's here.
The laws are 7-dimensional, that means the laws are comprised, in part by histories of 4-D time, in the same way that a book is comprised of wood pulp fibres.
Concerning history, Jesus says "neither do i condemn you" (provided no one else is condemning.)
Concerning the present Jesus says "go"
Concerning the future Jesus says "sin no more."
In order to not sin, one needs to obey the 10 commandments. That's the definition of 'sin.' So, not only does this explain the physical reality of God's laws. But this also explains why God spoke the laws at the very start of Israel's history, at the very start of any civilization which wrote with an alphabet on replaceable paper.
They weren't writing on natural leaf, like Asians, or invaluable rocks like the Middle Eastern people. They were writing on man-made material.
The whole history of humanity as we know it, is shaped by that first nation of Israel, even before they landed in Palestine. And so Jesus Christ came as the word of God, so that we Christians might love Him alone, and in searching for Him in the Scriptures to feed our love, we find the laws of God, which Jesus obeyed. Thus Christians are not ignorant, nor rebelious concerning God's historical ordinances, are befit someone who represents Christ and is joined into His body. But the Christians simply do not enforce those laws on other people. As Jesus said "in vain they do worship [me Jesus] teaching for doctrine the commandments of men." It is by worshipping Christ, his love, his personal truth as one individual man, as the incarnation of the God of everything, that we find anything else pertinent to doing God's will on Earth. Thus if the entire contents of Holy Bible describes Jesus' life as He lived and moved, then the laws are just one small part of the entire Holy Scriptures.
Jesus Christ resurrected and comes as the Holy Spirit glorifying Jesus' name, into the Christians hearts, so that they wish to obey the laws, the words of God. Imagine - if the government of the planet was focused on killing criminals, then criminality would focus on hiding and not getting caught.
It is basically very hard to teach people that Jesus turned into the Holy Spirit, because that would be known as the "heresy of Modalism." However it is very clear that the physical body of Jesus Christ is preserved, atom by atom, inside the infintely larger Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ on resurrection Sunday, the day he resurrected, met Mary Magdalene by the grave, and said to her "do not touch me, for i have not ascended to the Father yet."
and on the same Resurrection Sunday, when the scared disciples were hiding behind locked doors, Jesus appeared to them, and blew on them saying "receive the holy spirit." And 8 days later, when Jesus Christ appeared behind locked doors to meet the hiding disciples said to Thomas
Luke 24:39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

John 20: Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Anyway, because of Jesus Christ, the 6 blessings of Genesis were redeemed from the rebelious adam and eve. Each Christian human, by recieving the Holy Spirit inside their body and their heart, is a temple to God just as Jesus Christ is a temple. (and you can imagine the ancient Jews trying to compare their giant temple with one man Jesus.)
Humans are then restored images of God, who do what God wills for them to do. Just as a TV does to an audience what the actor wants it to do, so Christians seek to do to the world, what God wants the world to experience in the 6 dimensions.

== End of Redemption chapter==

And it it implied that for revenge, the people of the prince will destroy Jerusalem and the sanctuary.
It paints a fictional story of a young prince leading his army to destroy the Jerusalem (the city of their king, David) taken by the foreign occupier that killed the former leader(messiah) of Jerusalem who was killed (cut off) not for himself (strangers relative to the city.) But since Jesus Christ makes a clarification, that since the promised one was to be called the prince of peace, Jesus explained:
that he didn't come to bring peace,
and that he wasn't related in anyway to the prince of this world, and that prince of the earth was coming to get him.

So when we read the passage in Daniel, we can see that the Messiah was cut off when He was crucified...
and that the thing that crucified him, was the roman authority, and the thing that arrested him was the roman authority, and the thing that destroyed Jerusalem was the roman authority. Thus the prince, is the caesar who represents the entire roman authority.
Now we can understand the Roman Authority. Daniel's dream is said to include Rome, as the fourth composite monster. but we can use this to Daniel's dream's fourth monster, as simply confirmation that people suspect Rome is involved in the prophesy of Daniel, especially since when read through the eyes of the Holy Spirit, all scripture talks about the lifetime of Christ Jesus.
There were two caesars alive during Jesus' 33 years. Caesar Augustus and then Caesar Tiberius. Caesar Augustus was technically the second ceasar in the history of Rome. Julius Caesar was the first, though he didn't work in the same ways as the subsequent caesars. Julius was from the prime tribe of Italy the Juli tribe, like the best tribe. Augustus was adopted as a nephew by Julius. Julius united Rome as a republic and then as an empire that taxed the conquered provinces.
When Julius died, Augustus took over as caesar in 27BC. Augustus Caesar in turn died in the year 14AD. Augustus had to work out the politics of the empire. Augustus had the Roman Senate to 'deify' Julius as the living God (though Julius was already dead.) This proclamation meant that Augustus was then a son of Julius who called a divine being. This is why the official title of Augustus was "Imperator Caesar divi filius Augustus." - It reads "Emperor Caesar Divine Son Augustus." (The Roman coins also held this title as an acronym.) Tiberius Caesar started his reign in 14AD, and Tiberius also carried the official title of being a son of caesar. The caesars which followed Tiberius didn't call themselves sons of divine caesar, but instead called themselves straight up divine.
So prince is actually a very accurate term for the roman empire's authority during Jesus Christ's lifetime.

In the times of 2000 years ago, the Greek and Italian people were famously descended from the Israel, many centuries prior. They looked the same, genotypically, and this would have been ample proof for them. But we also have surviving political letters of correspondence which declare unity and relationship of blood between Greece's Sparta and Israel's Jerusalem.
This way, we can see that if Israel is the firstborn son of God, then any descendant nation which spurred off as lost (migratory) people, such as the Greeks who reached the end of their peninsula, would be the son of Israel... as in the next generation.
Now if we look at Greece's political history, we are again drawn back to 620BC.
For any nation to be considered a nation, the collective group of people must adhere to some sort of unifying social structure, some unity of behaviour such as laws, or prescription concerning every member of that group. In other words, a proper nation, since the advent of Israel, is not allegence to a king, or the king's perspective (the crazy guy claiming to own the planet,) but rather a lawcode which is upheld by the people. Well, Greece got it's first lawcode in 620BC. This was infact the first time that the continent of Europe had a recorded lawcode. It was invented by a man named "Draco." This is the origin of the term "Draconian laws" for antiquated, oft-cruel laws. So, now we have this correlation between 62 weeks and 620BC which has appeared. Now the key is revealed.

The Key of time.

If 62 weeks relates to time,
and if 62 weeks directly refers to 620BC,
then 1 week = 10 years.
But simple algebra simply wont suffice if we are to view the actions of Jesus Christ, since 1 week to rebuilt Jerusalem. Let's read the next verse segment.
and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
We can use hindsight, to see what is meant here. The end is caused by a flood. Now for Christians, the flood and the water refer to an idolatry of many people, since Jesus Christ is the one person we must follow, any other person is like water making us as fish turn left or right to leave the straight path of Jesus, and go astray... The flood of Noah's time, was caused because the "sons of Gods were choosing beautiful women who were daughters of mankind." This is talking, not about aliens, or angels. This is talking about male-dominated society that views men as separate and superior to women. Women were judged and mated with based on 'beauty.' The male dominated people filled the earth with violence, probably as they went trying to capture villages to steal women. There are multiple ways we can see that this is reflective of idolatry from a Christian point of view. Not only were the men claiming worship from women, but they were sexual creatures. If we reflect on Saint Thecla, who was Saint Paul's disciple: Saint Thecla was a beautiful woman who escaped a city-governor who wanted to rape her in the street. Just from that, we can imagine the countless women who were raped in the street by the wondering Roman Empire... But I digress. Thecla was saved by a cave which caved in after she entered. she entered the cave because a gang of rapists were chasing her. This story is very reminiscent of Revelation 12, when the woman fled the dragon, to save her child. Europeans in 2020 see this chapter as reference to Mary and Jesus, simply because they ignore that America is the giant dragon. This is why the European Union's flag has 12 stars. (They worship themselves... as usual.) It's probably an act of humility for Europe Union's flag to pretend to be Mary.
In Revelation chapter 12 the satan sent a flood, and the flood was stopped by the earth which opened to stop the flood. Thus if we look at Thecla - and there are no other Saints whose lifestory or any other story (atleast that i have found) which relates with such accuracy to the biblical vision in Revelation. Saint Thecla chose to be a virgin to love Jesus Christ only, after hearing Paul. This was in 50 to 60AD. before Jerusalem was destroyed. Thecla was in Turkey/Syria. She was engaged but refused to be engaged any longer. She wanted to keep her mind's love for Jesus Christ singular, and not divided and shared with another, especially since her fiance was a non-christian (since Christians claim to be part of Jesus' body.) The rapists would have forced her mind to remember the trauma of rape, her virginity would be removed as her peace would be removed. In Modern terms we call this Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" when someone's mind love fixates on a terrible traumatic time.
The rapists would have been idols. Thus when the cave protected Thecla from the gang of rapists, it was as though the flood of idolatry was stopped.
So back to the verse in Daniel, all the caesars who laid seige to Jerusalem after the death of Jesus, and even General Titus who would be crowned as caesar, years after leading the army to destroy Jerusalem, were all worshipped by the Roman empire and its temples.
The Roman Empire was the flood. We are trained by Europeans to see the flood of Noah's time, as cleansing the earth, but they would love the flood since they are the flood. Ask any European if he or she thinks themselves as a God.
And then Israel, after the death of Jesus the prophet who could perform miracles, like Moses, tried to have military leaders to fight the Roman Empire, and have indepedence from the Caesar's empire. To end Israel's rebellion, the Roman empire destroyed Jerusalem's religious center - the temple.
Without Jerusalem's temple, the entire religion of Moses was caput. The entire reason that Moses hadsaved Israel out of Egypt was for the firstborn son of God. and the entire reason that Moses got the plans to built the temple , was to house the stone tablets which had the laws of God, the commandments that God spoke and Moses recorded onto stone tablets.
The King Saul and King David and all of them had one job, to protect the ark, since before Saul, the high priest's sons had used the ark of the covenant as a standard in battle against the Philistines and they misplaced the ark.
So, hopefully we can all see, that outside of the imaginations of mankind, in reality, the end of Israel would be described by a flood of idolatry. In reality only one man Jesus Christ, could walk on water, and release the Holy Spirit unto his believers. But in those 620 years, the advent of humans forcing everyone to worship them while they are alive, came to Israel, with Alexander the Great and the Roman empire. Perhaps even the Persians and such did the same with their emperors.
But the desolation should be explained too.

Desolations

The word Desolations means wasted places. Places with no life, no normalcy compared to the rest of preceding history. Now a place or a thing can start to exist, and it's preceding state isn't desolated simply because it has changed. Israel started by God saving the nation out of Egypt. God was their leader, Moses was God's mouthpeice, and Aaron was Moses' mouthpeice. Their God was the God who created the planet's life at the start of the world. Their God was their Spirit king.
When Israel crowned King Saul and King David, God expressed a feeling of rejection. The nature of politics in the region, meant that Israel felt ill-equiped to deal with surrounding nations. But in the case of warring against the Philistines who were the nation for which Israel risked sending their Ark of the Covenant, out of the temple and into battle. God warned about people who lived before Israel, but the Philistines were invaders after Israel had already established itself in the land. If we take from the number of examples in post-colonial world, the nations that survived made deals with the invaders. Israel could have asked the philistines to join their culture and religion. Instead of trying to kill them. Anyway, that ark of the covenant held the two stones that God wrote. If Israel lost those two stones, and the ark, and the temple with it's bowl of manna and historical significance, Israel would be separated from their God, in all physical senses. Before the king Saul and David, the leader of the nation was the high priest, but the high priest served God. With the Kings, the high-priest wasn't the highest position and the priests obeyed the kings.
So, when Israel or Judah in Jerusalem went to war with Rome, the Romans knew that without a capital the people would be like sheep without a shepherd to organize their flocks. Rome destroyed Jerusalem's temple, and Israel was left without sovereignty. The God that created the planet, was no longer the head of the nation in the land of canaan. There was no nation there anymore. The land was desolate. the people were desolate. Israel was desolated.
Christianity was miraculously there, 70 years before the destruction of Jerusalem's temple. Christianity miraculously provided a way for Jews to worship amongst the gentile nations around the planet. With races who are not related to Jews. The Christianity focused on the races that were younger than itself, that were descendants of Israel. Perhaps history tells us this, because it was hard for Christianity to force itself without imperial aid, into civilisations already rich in peace and spirituality, but the normadic hordes of Eurasia and Arabia were ready to welcome any sort of cultural practice and literacy.

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,

Jesus Christ installed the "New Covenant." People, especially children learn about things in terms of their opposite. Old is not new. New is not old. But we need to understand the word for itself, as it is part of Genesis 1's lessons.
If something is "new" it is found now. Can something be new in the future? no, but it will be new. New is something that has started to exist in the present moment of time. New is something created now.
For Jesus Christ he makes all things new. That doesn't mean necessarily that all things are destroyed and rebuilt, but rather that all things are in the present, are made by God. The history of the covenants of Israel were built upon the previous. 1. The Abrahamic covenant, arrives at Genesis 12:1-3. It is about fixing the blessings of creation and avoiding the curses of Adam. 2. The Mosaic Covenant arrives at Exodus 19-20 and It is before Israel walks for 40 years. Moses prepares Israel to meet God. God speaks to the whole nation, they recieve the '10 commandments' with its promise that God will have mercy on 1000 generations of them that love God. 3. The Palestinian Covenant is in Deuteronomy 28-29 . It is after Israel has walked for 40 years and contains the blessings and curses that will happen if Israel obeys God and if they abandon God. Now these three do infact build on the previous. And once we see how they build on each other, we can then look at the Noahide covenant, and the Covenant of works (the covenant before Genesis 3) Abraham was serving God. He did everything to serve God. In the Scriptures, he replicated the actions of the Tower of Babel, except that the Tower of Babel was scared of God, and acting in the manner of the snake, like a fifth day creation. And Abraham was serving God with long-term plans like a sixth-day creation.
But the book of Genesis records Babel very quickly, yet everything Babel did, Abraham did, but for God. Babel wanted to build a great name for itself, Abram's name grew into Abraham by the "ah" syllable, representing the God's Spirit. Babel covered the face of the earth at that moment, Abraham had as many children as stars of the sky.
Outside of the Holy Bible, we know that the pyramid builders of 4000 years ago, elongated their skulls too, as a way to differentiate between the leaders and subjects. Abraham cut his foreskin off, so that he and his children would remember God and his covenant, when they went into slavery for 400 years.

God told Abraham to walk perfectly.
In Exodus 20, God spoke face to face with the whole nation. Everyone - the whole millions and hundreds of thousands of people heard God's loud booming voice from the clouds above the mountain.
God spoke laws. When God spoke laws, he invoked the singular personal pronoun many times. He was speaking directly to each individual. God expects us to obey God. This means that God expects each of us to keep God's words true. Thus truth is reality, and truth are words spoken about reality. It is up to us, to ensure that the laws God spoke on that mountain are true reflections of reality.
While God spoke directly to Abraham, and it was up to Abraham to listen. Remember God told Abraham to cut off his foreskin, after warning him that his children will enter slavery in 400 years. That's an extreme fucked up thing to do for such a bad reason. But by circumcizing his children, and their children and his village, after 400 years when the slaves lost their songs their ways, lost their identity. When the slaves had babies and went to the toilet, they would remember Abraham that first guy to cut off his dick's skin, and why he did it - because the God promised his children land. Now all the descendants of Abraham were hearing from God at the mountain. And God was teaching them how to live for 1000 generations. They didn't have to war, they didn't have to murder, they didn't have to steal, they didn't have to invent religions, they didn't have to hate their parents. they could learn from their parents. They didn't have to admire or desire anything that belonged to their neighbours and their neighbours wouldn't desire anything that belonged to them.
But the Israelites then were too scared, they insulted God saying that they didn't want to heard directly from God, but wanted Moses to meet God on their behalf.
God told Moses that this was a wise choice that the people made.
It would be less risky since individual people are weird and will conplain to God if they are forced or unforced, used or unused.
Then after the 40 years of walking, after Moses had written %99 of the Torah, they arrive at the time to make the covenant. The covenant with the new generation perhaps. the laws of the Torah were to be upheld by the politicians and officials, and every individual. The Torah enforced the keeping of the laws. And the laws were all designed to protect people from doing the 10 commandments It was normal to not like people who steal from you, But the Torah offered punishments for theives, and manners in which a theif can pay their victim back, or reasons for why a criminal can make ammends.
So when God spoke the 10 commandments when making the Mosaic covenant, God gave Moses 2 stone tablets. And when Moses dropped the tables he returned to the mountain, and God told him plans to build a temple and build an ark of the covenant. They built the temple and built the ark, before they went to the land of Canaan, before they walked for 40 years. The ark was there to protect the stone tablets. The temple was there to protect the ark. The nation was there to protect the temple. The stone tablets helped the people remember exactly what God said. what God asked and commandment.

The Lord Jesus Christ spread the religion of the Jews, from the ark at the temple's center, to the hearts of people who like Jesus think of themselves as a temple of God. (Concerning the Ark in the temple, according to modern Europeans , the temple was already empty because they say Prophet Jeremiah stole the ark and hid it in a secret cave. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Maccabees+2&version=RSV)

Lord Jesus Christ upheld %100 of the scriptures, in some way shape or form, in perfect harmony with the 10 commandments and words of God. The Lord Jesus Christ sent the Holy Spirit after His resurrection, to glorify His name.
And that was ok, since the people were Jews and they worshipping God in the temple too. The covenant was kept.
But when Roman destroyed the 'one place of worship' (as Moses had prescribed for them,) the Israelite people didn't have a place to meet, a nd the Christians didn't need a place to face, because the Spirit of Christ , the Spirit of God resided with them. But to fulfill all the things which Moses said, they needed the temple there, and Jesus was able with the Christians to do their Jewish thing, as the travelling Diaspora (as you see Saint Paul do, back and forth to Jerusalem and abroad, as a Roman Citizen able to travel.)

Those first Christians, the ones who sold their lands to buy citizenships for the apostles to travel. the first people who left their homes to travel abroad to preach and set up congregations and new homes filled with good deeds. Those people who were not allowed by the empire to travel outside of Israel/Galilee and remained within distance to Jerusalem, they were able to keep the laws of God and affirm the covenant of Jesus and affirm the covenant of Moses. The covenant of palestine, the Deuteronomy 28-29 covenant was different because it came with a proviso "this day you haven't eating bread or wine or strong drink." It was refering to those people 3500 years ago, before they set their direction towards the land of canaan, after 40 years in the wilderness, but as it reads, someone might take it personally.
Christians don't believe that they have to obey every word, but rather they have to believe that Jesus Christ obeyed every word, that is why when Jesus made the new covenant, he then abstained from wine, as the Nazarite.

and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,

Christians believe that the suffering of Jesus Christ on the cross ended all sacrifices and oblations. He was the one perfect sacrifice for the atonement of sins of the world.
The Torah (first five books of the holy bible) contains lists and itinerary of sacrifices to offer at the temple. They cooked different meals on an open fire of the altar, and they either ate the food or didn't eat the food depending on the type of sacrifice.
There are better reasons than two meals a day, for why God told Moses to ask the nation of Israel to offer a lamb in the morning and in the evening, with flour, oil, wine and salt.
The most important day of the year, was when the High Priest went in to check on the ark of the covenant. The whole purpose of their temple, their culture, all of Moses' efforts was to protect the stone tablets that God gave to (mankind.) Imagine such a gift, what an absolutely priceless thing. Of all things that man works towards. Moses dropped the stones when he saw Israel dancing in front of a gold statue. He built the ark to house the (broken) stones, as he built 2 new stones. He built the ark's lid where the Israel could face and God was there on the 'mercy seat.' and then the Temple's tent was built around the ark to protect the ark, and help the priests who would protect the ark. The whole nation surrounded the temple on all four sides.
The whole reason that Israel made the golden statue was that they forgot what God had spoken to them (the same words as on the stone tablets.) They forgot after 40 days.
So the purpose of repenting is to remember God and uphold God's truth, which happens to be laws that are kept.
If the ark is kept safe from all the people , and the whole nation of Israel keeps the ark safe from foreign nations. Then the contents of the ark are safe, so long as the ark exists. Once a year, the high priest, the top man of Israel, would visit the room where the Ark sat, and flick blood on it. That was atonement day.
The high priest would ask God to forgive all the sins that israel had done, and all the sins that he had done in the past year. By asking for God's forgiveness, the high priest, and the nation would have to recall the laws which were broken.
Thus on the day that the priest did his action, according to the Torah, it was to obey the Torah, and remember God's words (and not forget God's words.)
When Jesus Christ died, the government of Israel forgot all about God's 10 commandments and killed him. They managed to kill a totally innocent man, and call him a king at the same time. But because Jesus had to resurrect and go through the resurrection and ascension, to rise to 'the eternal Father,' we don't hold it against the government filled with fools and idiots.
Instead we see that by loving Jesus Christ, the resurrected man who accomplished all of the words and all of the sentences in the Holy Scriptures, we must search and comprehend the holy scriptures in order to know about the life of Jesus Christ. Did Jesus obey God when God said "Thou shalt not murder" - clearly, yes Jesus did obey God's 10 commandments.
Jesus Christ's resurrection and the fact that people love Jesus Christ as per his request to be loved after he resurrected, means that people must love him for who he truly was as a man, and that means that we need to read the Holy Scriptures as He told his disciples in Luke 24.
Luke 24:44
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
So his one sacrifice, as a law abiding perfect human, was all that was needed. There was no need for the human images of God, to walk all the way to some city's temple to remember the God, because they had the words of God's testimony.

His feelings


The disciples of Jesus Christ were his friends, and so they cared about how he felt.
Today's people and especially the Christians of 400 years ago, didn't really care about what Jesus the man felt, they only cared about the majesty or authenticity that they could afford to their God.
The Disciples on the otherhand were very careful to not hurt Jesus' feelings. so when the Holy Scriptures such as Ephesians 1:7 use the word "blood" they are talking about the cross and resurrection, how his blood was all that the prison could take.

and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate,

I've come to understand that atleast during the time of Moses, Abominations were not idols, but rather disgusting things that were thought of as disgusting, they were 'taboo.'
Subsequent generations turned the word "abomination" into idols, since idols were stupid and disgusting.
Now, because of the Roman Empire's ownership of Israel and Jerusalem, and because of the submission and willing loyalty of the Jewish government towards the Roman Empire with their worshipped Caesars, this could be seen as a proliferation of idolatry. All caesars after Julius caesar were worshipped by the entire empire.
But worse things were happening in Israel and Jerusalem after Jesus' crucifixion. It's recorded that a cow gave birth to a sheep in the temple grounds. There is a historian from 300 AD, who was an important Bishop of the region of Israel/Palestine, when Roman Empire turned into a Christian empire. Bishop Eusebius wrote a volumn of books called "Church Histories." One of his books details the 'signs' before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. He records signs that Kings to the north (the regional leaders) saw Jesus make signs in the clouds, or army figures. That's a pretty good sign - Thank God :) . But an abomination sign was that in the temple there was a cow and it gave birth to a sheep.
People are just as capable today as they were 2000 years ago. So somebody must have removed the fetus of a sheep from a pregnant Ewe, and held open a cow and implanted the sheep fetus into the cow, just so that the cow can be taken to the temple. For cruel laughter i would guess.
The people were so dirty and primitive and the filth of European Capitalist society was building up all around them. You can imagine the disgust at life in general.
The people had to be freed from the confines of their Roman Empire' provincial territory which they were bound within.
More importantly the purely true, divine words of God had to be freed from the shackles of a primitive people who refused to listen to the plain words of the commandments, let alone the divine intricasies of mathematical and physics proofs and reality described in the Scriptures which Jesus the word represents.
So when the God abandoned the land, when the people of Israel no longer had a nation, and their soveriegn head the God refused to have the nation, then that land was desolate. The land of Israel/Palestine was empty and wild. The stones which God wrote on, were lost, and its people forced to migrate around Europe.

even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

There are two meanings to this sentence which both depend on the word "Consummation." The people of Israel who were forced out of their empty land, and into Europe could join with the Christians who met once a week to eat the bread and wine of Jesus Christ. Since the Palestinian Covenant in Deuteronomy 29 was no a thing, and since the new covenant was to spread everywhere even to the ends of the world.
The communion of Christianity, the Lord's supper, could be a good explanation for the 'consummation' that the (Jewish) people who were desolate (as their home territory was nationless) ate. weekly.

When the German Nazi Empire killed millions of Jews in world war 2, as they tried to convert Europe into their empire. many people were killed who weren't Jews. But the Jews were the most important (as we all know.) The victors of world war 2, refused to acknowledge the other victims of genocide. Only in 1983 and in 2011 did the Gypsies get recognized as having been exterminated. %50 of Gypsies in Europe were killed. The Europeans refused to recognize them because they were simply people who travelled around, and not a particular race. The Gypsies are people who are Christian and they look Jewish, and they travel around like the people who walked with Moses.
The Gypsy word for the world war 2 is not "holocaust." The Gypsy word for world war 2 is "Porajmos" which means Feast or Consummation.

After the world war 2, the Jews in Palestine asked Britain to grant them independence, as a nation of Israel. Thus Israel the nation resumed it's existence after 2000 years of non-existence. This is like the resurrection of Jesus Christ as he spend 2 days in the grave and resurrected on the third day. As Saint Peter the priest said "one day with the Lord is as 1000 years." The people of Israel today, still try to serve the God of Moses, having scriptures which are preserved in the same way that the Christian scriptures are preserved. Jews are generally skeptical of modern Christians because most modern Christians come from the Global Empires who don't know anything about sovereignty of the creatures, and are instead concerning about their own posessions and glorification. So the consummation, the world war 2's genocide, ended the desolations. That is why the scriptures says "until the consummation."

Similarly, with the communion, the fact that people today centuries after Rome destroyed Jerusalem, join to jesus Christ the man from the last generation of israel to have Jerusalem's temple, means that when they join into the body of Jesus Christ, they are linked to the time and place when Israel had its temple and its ark and the Israel was a nation under God.
