Daniel 9:26 describes Rome killing Israel's Messiah, followed by them destroying Jerusalem and the Temple. Daniel 9:27 describes the future prince of those Romans making a seven year peace covenant with Israel, only to break it half way through by defiling the new Temple, and making war on Israel's remnant. What Daniel 9 does not say, is that this "prince" will be destroyed at Christ's Second Coming, because His Second Coming was a mystery to Israel (Rom. 11:25-26). Jesus explained these things to His disciples in Matthew 24:4-31.
Blind Israel's Three and a Half Years of False Peace
[4] And Jesus
answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. [5]
For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many. [6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye
be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not
yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers
places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows. [9] Then
shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be
hated of all nations for My name's sake. [10] And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one
another. [11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive
many. [12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall
wax cold. [13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall
be saved. [14] And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all
the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end
come.
Israel's Eyes Opened for Three and a Half Years of Persecution
[15] When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let
him understand:) [16] Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the
mountains: [17] Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take
any thing out of his house: [18] Neither let him which is in the field
return back to take his clothes. [19] And woe unto them that are with
child, and to them that give suck in those days! [20] But pray ye that
your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: [21] For
then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the
world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days
should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake
those days shall be shortened. [23] Then if any man shall say unto
you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. [24] For there
shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very
elect. [25] Behold, I have told you before. [26] Wherefore
if they shall say unto you, Behold, He is in the desert; go not forth: behold,
He is in the secret chambers; believe it not. [27] For as the
lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also
the coming of the Son of Man be. [28] For wheresoever the carcase is,
there will the eagles be gathered together.
Israel's Messiah Fulfills His Promise
[29] Immediately after the
tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give
her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens
shall be shaken: [30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man
in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see
the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great
glory. [31] And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a
trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one
end of heaven to the other.
The Tribulation is for Israel; the Church will be in heaven with Jesus!
