What do you think “exegetical” means?
It means reading *out* of the text, not into it.
Your reasoning is eisegetical (reading into the text), not exegetical.
ok, sacrifices aside, Daniel says the city and temple will be destroyed. That happened in 70AD and 135AD.
Also, I just checked the Original Hebrew here: http://biblehub.com/interlinear/daniel/9.htm
and the word “Zebah” or sacrifices was in the Hebrew and not added in the English as you said. Not sure where you got that from. Not arguing... just pointing it out.
The 144,000 (12,000 from each of the tribes of Israel) are virgin males which accompany the Lamb wherever he goes.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. (Revelation 14:4)So, if these are already on the Earth, then the Son of Man has returned, raptured his own, and begun to pour out his wrath (Seven trumpets, seven vials) on the Earth.
Today the Jews' temple has not been rebuilt where the daily sacrifice will resume (an abomination in an of itself, since the Lamb of God has already been sacrificed). So, the daily sacrifice cannot be taken away unless and until the temple is rebuilt. And this is where the anti-christ will stand and declare himself to be God (2 Thessalonians 2:4) and give a justification for ceasing the sacrifice. "Hey, you Messiah is here! You can stop your daily sacrifice."
I do see the future temple rebuilding as the continued rejection of the Lamb of God by the religious Jews. I suspect they will accept the rider on the white horse (Revelation 6:2) as the "Messiah". They didn't recognize Jesus in 33AD. They will choose the "false christ", the antichrist.
I have nothing against the Jews. They need saving like all unbelievers. God has "concluded all in unbelief than he might have mercy on all" (Romans 11:32, Galatians 3:22).
