Which makes it all the more necessary for to give BibChr's words a second look.
26 After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."
Are you saying that the Messiah sets up an abomination that causes desolation? It's the same "he" in verse 27. The "Annointed One" is "cut off" way back in verse 26.
Ah yes. Stupid Reason #3.
the abomination was the continuance of the daily sacrifice that God ended with Jesus and it took forty years before God destroyed the whole show temple and all.
