Jesus Ended The Sacrifices, Not The Anti-Christ

And he shall enter into a strong and firm covenant with the many for one week [seven years]. And in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and offering to cease [for the remaining three and one-half years]; and upon the wing or pinnacle of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate, until the full determined end is poured out on the desolator. Daniel 9:27

Now let’s look at and study Daniel 9:27, after seeing that everything that Daniel was told in Daniel 9:24 has already happened through Jesus. (Previous 7 posts of Christnotes ) The Truth is that all of what Daniel was told in verse 24 was finished by Jesus’ success at the Cross. So the Truth has to be that Jesus is the One who will make the strong Covenant with many people for one week in verse 27, it is not the anti-christ as so many teach. Jesus is the One who ended the sacrifices. He ended them when He was crucified, when Jesus gave up the ghost, the Temples curtain that protected the Holy of Holies was torn from top to bottom, Matthew 27:51. This was a sign from our Father that He had ended all sacrifices and that there was no more need for them. Jesus came and He fulfilled everything that was required for our righteousness.

Daniel was also told in verse 27 that one was coming who makes desolate. In Revelation 12:5-8 we are shown that after Jesus was taken up to Heaven, satan was cast out of it and we are told that he was thrown down to the earth. Daniel was shown the same thing. Daniel was shown that after the sacrifices were ended, because of the victory of the Blood of Christ, satan would be thrown to the earth to cause desolation.

And the huge dragon was cast down and out--that age-old serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, he who is the seducer (deceiver) of all humanity the world over; he was forced out and down to the earth, and his angels were flung out along with him. Revelation 12:9
