In reply to your 8/15 post The "end of sacrifice" in Daniel 9:27 (fivedoves.com)

Jesus ended the daily sacrifice a long time ago when He shed His pure blood on the cross and died for our sins because He was a sinless and pure sacrifice which was the New Testament covenant which is an eternal covenant.

You stated in your post, "Messiah the Prince confirms a covenant to begin the final seven years.  This is very shortly after the rapture.  God made a covenant with Abraham.  Read Hebrews 11:8-13.  God made earthly promises of land and blessings to Abraham and those who followed his example of faith.  But they died "not having received the promises."  God will raise them up and confirm His covenant with them.  The resurrection is described in Ezekiel 37 and the confirmation in Revelation 7:1-8.  When God makes a promise, He will deliver.  Death won't short-circuit His integrity."  

You also stated, "And before that Image will be an altar for human sacrifice.  THAT is the "sacrifice and offering" that Messiah Jesus will bring to an end."  Yes, Jesus will bring it to an end, but He returns at the end of the Great Tribulation period of 3 1/2 years which is the end of the 7 year tribulation period and not in the middle of it.  Daniel 9:27 says, "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."

If  the covenant with Abraham is the covenant that the Messiah confirms for the final seven years, what is the sacrifice that the Messiah  causes to cease in the midst of the final 7 years because the beast doesn't start beheading people until the Great Tribulation period begins in the midst of the final 7 years and ends 3 1/2 years later on when the Messiah returns to Earth. 

I also would like to know how the Messiah, Jesus Christ who is up in heaven after the Rapture and doesn't come back to Earth until the Great Tribulation period of 3 1/2 years is over can confirm a covenant for 7 years with people on Earth while He is up in heaven.
