The Seven Year Tribulation & The Rebuilt Temple
Christ Will Confirm The Covenant with Many for one Week – Daniel 9:27
~~Christ will confirm the covenant with many, and this confirmation process began at the beginning of the New Testament age. It is said that the interpretation of this passage definitely colors all other prophetic views. The truth hidden in this passage will start the process of unraveling the deception in prophecy teaching. Most teachers of Christianity falsely claim that this verse is all about the anti Christ making a covenant with Israel for seven years.
Dan 9:27 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.
From the command to rebuild Jerusalem until Christ is a period of sixty nine weeks of years; the emphasis in this verse is on Jesus Christ (Dan 9:25). And after this period of time Messiah shall be cut off; the emphasis in this verse is also on Him (Dan 9:26). Likewise in Dan 9:27, the emphasis is still on Jesus. Christ will confirm the covenant with many.
The words “he shall” are added by the translator twice. Therefore, what is being described in the first part of this passage is the confirming or establishment of a covenant with many for one week! This means that the emphasis is on confirming a covenant, and it may be confirmed by multiple sources.
The first half of the seventieth week of Daniel was fulfilled in Christ; His ministry was for three and one half years. The promise that Christ will confirm the covenant with many, is already partially fulfilled.
This covenant which is Christ’s testimony is the basis for the entire New Testament; those that had faith and hope believed in the testimony of Christ unto life. The self righteous and deceived believed in their own testimony unto death.
The Old Testament is fulfilled in and through Jesus in two parts; part one is the arrival of the Word of Life and the payment for sin upon the cross unto Salvation. Part two is the separation of the unjust, and the inheritance and kingdom that are received by the just at His second coming.
The covenant referred to in Dan 9:27 is confirmed or established by Christ
Jeremiah 31:32-33 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD. I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Christ established or confirmed his covenant with many peoples, only this time he wrote it in the believers mind and on their hearts, instead of tablets of stone (2 Cor 3:3).
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Here we see the power in the new covenant of promise, and in it our faith and hopes will be fulfilled. The old was a temporary covering for sin, the new however blots it out completely.
1 Cor 1:4-6 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge. Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you.
Christ will confirm the covenant with many. His testimony is the covenant.
Revelations 1:1-2 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
By correctly understanding Dan 9:27, we realize several important facts.
◾There is no seven year tribulation, as the deceitful interpretation of this verse is the only excuse made for a seven year tribulation period.
◾Christ caused the sacrifice and the oblations to cease, so there will not be a Jewish temple with the old ordinances becoming reinstated.
Christ claimed that Jerusalem would become desolate and remain in that spiritual condition, until His return for the second gathering of His people. Often times it is errantly taught that the Israel of 1948 represents the second gathering prophesized in scripture.
At the true second gathering, all the righteous in Christ will reign in a Gloriously restored Jerusalem. No longer will Jerusalem be spiritually referred to as Sodom and Egypt, as it is during the Great Tribulation (Rev 11:8).
Christ was the one who caused the sacrifices and the oblations to cease, as he was the final sacrifice. After the cross, never again would animal sacrifices be acceptable. In the midst of the week, or after his three and a half year ministry, Christ sacrificed Himself for us. Daniel also tells us that for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate.
Behold your house is left to you desolate, was the decree given unto Jerusalem by Christ (Math 23:38). For the great abominations associated with their sacrifices and perverted religion, Jesus caused them to cease. The Lord, at many times throughout their history, did not recognize their sacrifices as being valid (Isa 66:3-4; Isa 1:11).
The antichrist does not make a covenant, however Christ will confirm the covenant with many. The suggestion that the covenant spoken of in Daniel 9:27, is a covenant made with Israel by the Antichrist, is a terrible lie and is not supported anywhere in the scriptures.

Both the seven year tribulation and the temple being rebuilt are lies of the RCC invented during the Counter reformation to take everyone’s eye from the true antichrist thw papacy.
The 70th week started in 27 A.D when Jesus was baptized and anointed with the Holy Spirit. He was crucified in the middle of the week 31 A.D. And the 490 years the Jews had to repent and to turn to God ended at the end of the 70th week in 34 A.D. with the stoning of Stephan.
Daniel 9 is all about Jesus Christ not the antichrist or some made up seven yr tribulation.
Good article.
How could Christ have been “baptized” in 27 CE when He was clearly born in 6 CE per the Book of Luke? Yehoshu’a (Eng. Joshua — NOT “Jesus” from the Latin transliteration) was immersed (Heb. tevilah) in the LIVING WATERS of the Jordan, which served as a mikveh as it had a natural spring as its source! Until Christians start understanding the Bible from a Hebraic perspective, they will only understand the elementary principles of God (i.e., partaking of milk instead of solid food!). In this vein, Daniel speaks of a “week of years” as is part of the Biblical accounting of Jubilees and sabbatical years; see http://www.haderech.info/DSS/Calendar/4Q319.pdf.
